Was ready to say, "Well they put themselves in the position to be gatekeepers on their own terms" but you crushed that argument perfectly.

You're totally right about lagers: they're far too under-appreciated. Even the beer drinking group who drinks lagers almost exclusively could care less.

It looks like he's doing a trust fall.

Also, SHELTIE'S RULE!!!!!!

Hank the dog for the Brewers is still the #1 dog in baseball

I suppose this means most of the existing Redskins fans in central and eastern NC have finally died out now.

So, if we're reading this correctly, it seems what you're saying is that it's okay, or whatever, to be a gay athlete, but you can't talk about it (do interviews, film a documentary, etc.) or make any income from it (endorsements) unless you meet some arbitrary, and I suspect unreasonable, set of achievements that…

Is there anything better than continuing a dialogue? I don't think there is.

Excellent and inspired choice in music! Brother Kite rules but not enough people know about them, especially not their debut album, which is fucking great. Fuck yeah!

Oberon tastes like a foot. I have a 6-pack every year and it never gets better.

Track 7 on Bleed American

Andrea Pirlo does this shot a lot:

"Sentences like this 'Platinum is an airier, more sprawling affair, as if it's its own Broadway revue, a Western-swing kiss-off rubbing elbows with chain-restaurant arena rock' summarize modern music criticism for me. What does that really tell me."

"By the way, highlighting The House That Built Me from the Revolution album just makes me want to stop reading right there. That song was shopped around Nashville before Miranda recorded it so that undermines the rest of the review that tries so hard to authenticate Ms. Lambert"

Huh? Why is it important that the "song…

This is the first one I thought of.
