[...]“Jesus was a zombie!”

These repeated accusations against Fouts are so bewildering! If only there was some sort of, um, I dunno... pattern here! Oh, well!

You are Gotdamn right. Look at the 19-20 second mark, and it’s clear as day.  Honestly, I can’t decide whether Irvin would have been the worst, or the best person to be asked that on national TV.

“no one from either the Jets or the Bills plays like they’re on cocaine.”

So little love and credence for Slate’s pick of John Huntsman as the writer? I’m shocked!

Shit, Californians are flooding into Texas? TEXAS? Damn.

I purposely left it off for a reason—one which may sound trivial to you, but which I found significant: He apologized for it. Not just shamefacedly, after that shit blew up, but repeatedly, fully, and for decades later...sometimes even without prompting, during interviews and even a Presidential primary debate. Not…

I thought about the glioblastoma thing, because I didn’t want to be morbid, but “bullet to the heart” didn’t convey the sense of insta-kill I wanted to get across. It made it sound more like a thumbs-up would’ve cut the heart out of the AHA, leaving it a shell of its former self, which would’ve been inaccurate. …

Entirely arguable, and a solid point.  But I’d caution to add that the death-by-tax bill that he enabled is a death by degrees, as opposed to the bullet to the brain that Obamacare would have taken if he had given a thumbs-up. Both are awful things to inflict on a good program that gave so many Americans access to…

But the dog never betrays her, right? He’s a good dog, right? RIGHT?

The blackout on the tape between the offense and the aftermath couldn’t help but make me think of this:

ProTip: It doesn’t matter if you live by yourself, with your SO, or with other people who are all away on vacation for a week, you must never, EVER cook bacon while naked.

“Get those pants!”

Despite the Smithsonian’s assertion, I will go to my grave convinced that “dap” stands for “due acclaim & praise.” It just makes more sense to say that you gave someone that, than to say you gave them the “dignity and pride” that they had to already possess for you to acknowledge them in the first place.

Can’t argue with you there, but there’s kind of a gaping hole in the story as to how she did want to be addressed, and I’m racking my brains trying to imagine what the answer would be. “Sensei?” “Instructor?” “Ms. Threatentothrowshitatakid?”

Oh, mos def, and I didn’t even think of that angle. Also, I’m laugh-crying right now about the spot-on distillation of this monster’s motivations about having her crush “nooooooooooootice her.”

For one horrible second, I thought I read that Maryland football was a “dysfunctional Piper’s Pit.” Whew!

You need to respect the original 2nd Wave Feminists for what they did in fighting a righteous war, just like you need to respect WW2 Allied vets for doing the same. But if you keep that wartime mentality for 35+ years, well after the military/political/social landscape has changed and evolved, then you place yourself…
