yeah, no. I’ll admit to not watching more than 3 episodes, but that’s because I didn’t really laugh at any of them. Too much of that Will Ferrell-inspired “can you believe we’re really doing this? It’s hilarious because this guy is soooo over the top!” Not my thing.

You can truly say your life is pretty plain there.

My 11 year old soul is wounded at the fact that you didn’t know Burt Reynolds played Bandit, Jackie Gleason was the Smokey (i.e cop) in question. And yes, I still know all the words to Eastbound and Down (and am still pissed they made a mediocre TV show with that title)

Oddly enough, I had an analogous thing happen this weekend that totally caught me off guard. When a white person around me says something racist, I have a good range of disapproving looks and eye-rolling, all the way up to saying “cut it out...” which is fairly non-confrontational but still lets the person know it’s…

Just turn the sound down and watch the video again...wait 45 seconds, then say “dadgummit.”

Hey I know this will never get out of gray-town, but wasn’t Jezebel the site that published a long piece about why the celebrity nude hack wasn’t a “leak” but theft and exposure of private materials?

I’m not comparing the two things, really, because one is an order of magnitude worse than the other, but it would seem…

I DON’T LIKE A THING SO YOU CAN’T LIKE A THING!!!11!!ONEONEONE!

Mr. Goddell, we keep trying to tell you to stop coming to these comment boards and talking about your fantasies. That’s not what they mean by “fantasy football commissioner.” Now, it’s time for your juice box and cookie.

We had a particularly nasty fight about a trade once, so we instituted two simple rules...nothing outside the game (i.e. a six pack for your TE) and nobody said a trade has to be even as long as both teams sincerely believe they are improving their team. The trick is to play with people who are so competitive that…

Couldn’t agree more. We play for a horrifying DIY trophy and it’s perfect. When people ask how much money is involved, we always say “we play for much more important things than money.” Plus, given that some of our members are scraping by on $12/hr and some are making $100K, there’s no amount of money that would be…

The inning provided something of a flashback to Game 2 of the 2005 ALCS, when A.J. Pierzynski made it to first on a dropped third strike that only the diehardiest of diehard White Sox fans claim they swear hit the ground even though it’s so ridiculously clear it didn’t that neither the catcher nor the umpire thought…

Updated a nearly new laptop with the ultimate high-wire act (i.e. no backup...never schedule automatic updates when you’ve been or will be drinking). Had an issue with the trackpad afterward (tapping didn’t work as a click anymore). Decided to reboot once, then dive in to settings and drivers. Did the reboot, problem…

Absolutely. Another team (maybe the Bears?) did a tiny tiny tiny version of this that was far less condescending because IIRC the pitch went like this:

Oh, so you’re the one.

I’ve already typed this comment elsewhere, but I like repeating myself...let’s not forget, this only applies to their religion, because they’re the ones passing around outraged blog posts about that time some lady sued the local tractor parts store for the right to wear a hijab.

if it was anything but religion

Funny how (some) conservatives have discovered the need for protection for workers, huh?

A friend of mine got to like episode 3 of Season 1 and said “I don’t give a shit about who killed that lady, but this is awesome just for the performances.”

that took me a second, but good hustle.

Some people will actually hatewatch it, but most (I think) are secretly enjoying it but bitching about it because the kool kidz are.
