I hope you never get addicted to anything. Because addicts aren’t scum. They’re just people. You know how you can tell an addict from a non-addict when you meet them? You can’t. They look just like you and me, and I’m an alcoholic. You’re just an asshole.

Rushdie is only alive because he is protected by the British SAS, who are more frighteningly violent than any street thug who ever lived, but even the SAS are sick of the guy.

I live in Canada, and none of the 360 games can be bought here through the Xbox store. I’ve never understood that.

Yeah, good choice by the rental companies. What are you gonna lose first, your driver’s license, all the tread on the rear tires or your life?

That was me, guys. Sorry. I was REALLY wasted that day. And looking back, I was very angry that night that I kept losing at Runequest.

If even 1 per cent of the demonstrators in Hong Kong were armed and shooting at the PRA in the streets starting today, all the demonstrators would be dead by tomorrow, whether they were armed or not. The only thing that’s preventing tyranny is that the demonstrators are unarmed.

I have a border collie who I’ve trained up to be a dementia dog and so we’re in long-term care homes four times a week working with people who are cascading down to the final stages of dementia. Neither one of us had any experience with the elderly, let alone people who were physically fragile and with the kind of…

Wow, does that ever bring back some memories, all of them bad. I remember the Quattroportes of that era, I’ve been blocking this for decades. I turned 16 in 1985 and went car shopping for realsies the first time, and I remember seeing dozens of these dogs in the classifieds at the time for crazy low prices, $1,500 or…

Me too! I’ve found some of his old spiral-bound cookbooks at book sales and can report that the recipes still hold up. Plus he was a lot of fund to watch and never had a sex scandal, which is a thing nowadays.

I’d watch the crap out of a series with those rules. I might even buy the PPV if that’s what it takes.

I once got two speeding tickets in 20 minutes from the same cop on the same road, and I was 18 and driving a now-collectible four-cylinder Datsun pickup. A diesel pickup. Where there’s youthful stupidity, there’s a way.

You asking for a friend or are you just morbidly curious what it feels like?

Your first point isn’t true. Your adrenaline is pumping so goddamn hard your body is going to get you out of there no matter what, and your pain sensitivity goes way down. After you get to safety and before the shakes start, you do a visual check of yourself and/or the people you’re with to look for wounds. Short of a…

I was “a little jumpy” when I came back from Afghanistan as a news reporter myself and I’ve never seen my own feelings expressed in so few words. I couldn’t go back to my desk next to the huge windows that overlooked a parking lot because you know what that flying glass will do to me? Well, let me tell you EXACTLY.…

Great article. This is why I come here.

The only thing that is going to come out of this are a few thousand T-shirts reading ElPasoSTRONG and DaytonSTRONG.

Informative article above and commentators offering to stab each other in the face over horsepower calculations beneath. Pretty much everything I come here for.

You wear hand wraps in fighting so that if you break your hand, the wraps hold everything together so you can continue fighting. Hands are way more fragile than heads.

You know, I took another look at that vid and while IANAD like Freddie Pacheo or anything I have cut and helped guys cut, I’m gonna hold with that diagnosis, you can actually see it. When she comes in, she’s clothed and wearing padded shower shoes, looking a little confused but no more than any other person who just…

You don’t HAVE to be naked for a boxing weigh-in, but you are entitled to be, and if it’s close, you’re going to want to be. Men generally just strip off and if there are cameras around, somebody will hold up a towel. Boxers are not generally shy about their bodies. But I’ve never seen a modesty tube like one before.
