Overreaction, Deadspin. It's not like people from that region would be prone to any violent actions based on their beliefs in national or ethnic superiority. READ A BOOK AND CUT SOME SLACK FER CHRISSAKES.

I'm not sure why you're getting the reaction you're getting here (other than perhaps, to your point, chat threads are like locker rooms, and you're admonishing the quarterback in your original post, kind of). I understood what you're saying.

I honestly think this is something Southwest has completely nailed (even if they board the front first). I actually understand front first...otherwise there would be a hell of a mess for bag storage.

Yeah, because screaming kids are always the result of bad parenting.

If it's any consolation, the people correcting you on "the" are complete douchebags.

Yes. SOAR (Situation you encountered, Obstacles you overcame, Actions you took, Results attained) is a pretty good model for keeping responses concise and, to your point, once a few are developed...you've kind of got a template for interviews. I think the main discipline is not to make them sound too scripted.

Well, I really can't point fingers. One day my 10 year old and 8 year old will grow up and probably point out the same issues with their dad. ;-)

Thanks. My ratio of do-things-right to things-still-go-south is way too close to "1," in general.

I might also suggest confirming the time via email and following up that with a voicemail to the talent screener.

The sorority girl from Texas has had either a recent run-in with Bells Palsy or had a plug of dip in mouth. Either way, I hope that weird diagonal half-sneer half-smile gets her through the next segment when she is asked whether vaginas have tiny rabbits inside of them that actually make the babies.

I am pretty sure the story is bullshit. There are no lakes in Kansas.

If that had been a less forgiving surface, he would have broken his wrist hitting it at the angle he did. That .gif could have been even funnier.

Wow.

+1. I just hope it's not serious.

Totally agree! It's a soccer league!

This was really nice and, unfortunately, would have been missed by 95% of my fellow alumni. If you run with this joke in Oklahoma, you may want to go all-caps, red font, and bold on the "sooner." Even then it wouldn't be considered a joke. It would be considered school spirit.

Sometimes you just have to bro up and ask a bro for help with neck shaving, bro.

I would be letting down all gen Xers if I didn't post the epic Jimmy the Cab Driver MTV spot...MTV used to be awesome and clever, a long time ago...it is ironic.

Update: halfway through and I better clarify, as the book is on a horrible downhill slope....I definitely am not recommending it. I would be curious to get your thoughts on it, yes, but I also don't think it would be an enjoyable read. If you didn't like Tyson before, you will probably despise him more after reading…

The dog's name is "Lucky."
