Ah, the old "just sayin'." defense.

Photochopping is a very common term of changing and editing a photo and is widely used in the industry. Which he'd know, after "all those years"

Having many years in the photochopping industry myself, never trust anything you see on a screen or print. Hell, even what you hear. There are people that are hired to tweak just about everything.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

I gave this show headtilt/10.

THAT IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST BAG EVER. I bought one when it came out, and another right before they discontinued it because after a couple years my first bag was still like new. Sooo sad when dA discontinued it.

this is pornography.

Man, I love The Galaxy Express 999.

I love me some Ginga Tetsudo 999. I own the entire series on Japanese LE DVD. I'm buying it on Blu Ray, though I'm not overly happy about the DNR applied to it. And of course I own the DVDs for the movies and specials on Japanese DVD, and Blu Ray. And I own the US releases on DVD as well...

At some holiday gathering when I was seven, all the boy cousins insisted on playing a game that appeared to involve swords and riding the dog like a horse, and they wouldn't let the girls play. A relative helpfully suggested that that game was "boy stuff" anyway and we should go play with the girl toys...you know,…

No. There was a girl I knew when I was a kid who was severely handicapped. She'd been a strong player on my soccer team, and she always came to team sleepovers and we got along with her really well. She was awesome to be with.

I can't believe that of all of the things covered in this piece, the majority of the comments are focused on the question of whether male reporters are allowed to interview naked female players. They've reduced your love of the game to your "right" to see naked players.

I loved this article. Now I'm digging around trying to find some more stuff written by Jennifer Briggs. The part about remembering the safety of her daddy's arm while watching her first ball game at age 3 really got to me. Makes me think of my responsibility to my little girl and the impact I will have on her life. I…

The writing on some of these stories, and from back before I ever thought about things like gender politics in the locker room, are always enjoyable and eye-opening.

There's nothing to explain because you just made that up. Women's leagues don't ban male reporters from the locker rooms, that's just a myth.

"One even said, 'You know you don't have to do this work,' in a tone that sounded like Sting telling Roxanne she didn't have to put on the red light."

You see, folks in the world of sports weren't used to working with a "fee-male." And you know, they all say that word so well.

The Let's Play of this game made me laugh so much with all the commentary, both by the player and by everyone who was commenting on it. It was so great, I'm just not sure if the real thing could compare to those memories.

Absolutely great piece, and a terrific follow-up. You all do a lot of cool and funny stuff here at Deadspin, but, The Stacks is by far my favorite thing about this site.
