Chance of presidential assassination in our lifetime has gotta be way higher than zero. Two presidents have been shot in the last 52 years. In 2005, someone in Georgia (the country) threw a live grenade at GW Bush that landed 61 feet from him (it failed to detonate). You probably would have said the chances that…

This is one reason why I think piercings are a terrible idea.

Why not just wear boxer-briefs?

I’ve found that Nike Dri-fit socks are a total sham. My feet sweat way more in them than in regular hanes cotton socks.

Can’t say I feel any sympathy for the source that Schefter may not have protected well enough. That source is a shitty hospital employee. This wasn’t an anonymous whistleblower exposing corruption or something.

Subdued BBC mysteries are great for this. Like Poirot or Morse. They’re entertaining enough to watch, but also tame and boring enough to fall asleep to.

Straws can be key on Halloween when your mask won’t allow normal drinking.

What I couldn’t see in the video is if the umpire clearly and promptly signalled “out” on the catch or not. And if he was too busy running to see the call, the third base coach should have.

A big, fat fishman named Tom?

I thought braiding (the simplest method anyway) was just taking the hair in 3 roughly equal clumps and put them in the alternating-overlapping pattern. Then tying it off with a band. The same way you braid leather at summer camp or whatever. Do people really not know how to do that? To me that’s like not knowing how…

A bracket format is bullshit for a contest like this. I mean, the home run derby is eminently silly anyway, but a seeded bracket is even dumber.

Every big thunderstorm, I see at least 3 cars, gray in color on a gray highway in torrential gray rain with no lights on. They’re practically invisible.

That video is almost exclusively Ezreal’s R. Which still looked like it was dealing more damage than it should, but what does that have to do with his Q?

Plus they’re making us stand for the flag at a privately-owned entertainment show. If I went to see a movie and Disney made me stand up and played the anthem, I’d tell them to eat shit.

What’d they do with the sand in the base?

Eh, there have been far worse all-star snubs than this.

That movie was as gross as Cosby.

The umpire is under no obligation to try to keep their secret intact. His obligation is to get in position to make the call.

I like how you can hear some members of the crowd shushing the others after they got too loud during the point. Obviously wasn’t malice though, just exuberance.
