I'm about to take a Schintzius like Dwayne.

I was saying that homophobia is an important factor in that masculine "push-pull" you describe. There is this assumption that a man would have to be gay to want to be associated with rainbows, daffodils, etc., and men tend not to want to bring such doubts upon themselves.

I know what you are saying, but I think this is an excellent case study in the role homophobia has played in both the construction of hegemonic masculinity and challenges to it.

This makes me rock hard.

Yeah, but that was not similarly graphic. I mean, I knew somebody was gonna die if they didn't red flag the race after the first few laps, and that wreck was unreal, but you couldn't single out an individual car and say, "That driver did not survive."

To say nothing of the college instructors.

I think so. When students confront me with this kind of attitude I ask them if they get annoyed when they receive wedding invitations, or somebody shows them their child's prom pictures.

There we go. I was concerned that nobody had made the Magritte joke and that I would be duty-bound to make one two months too late.

Rocco ravishes this city.

Mmmmm...beer.

Some people out there in our nation don't have maps.

We've known each team's home and away opponents for months. What is it about seeing the data in the schedule format that compels people to do this?

It's funny because there must be thousands of combines parked in barns within a few hundred miles of Indianapolis.

The radio station where I used to work alphabetized solo artists by last name.

I do not disagree with this thorough critique, but I am enjoying the process of watching Gus learn on the job, and I will take him over the competency of Arlo White, whom I assume must have been the product of a decades-long initiative of the Rand corporation.

Now that I take the time to read through some of the YouTube comments, it seems that ABC may have shown a very graphic reverse angle replay once, and suppressed it since that moment.

Sometimes being a good person means suppressing one's instincts, not that I am one in every aspect of my own life.

Now playing

See also: Greg Moore's fatal Indycar crash. I do not believe that ABC ever showed a single replay of it. I switched over to the race just after the wreck and Paul Page was morosely saying that they would not show it. I was still in the habit of rehashing the sporting weekend with the Monday USA Today back then,

Did Kevin Harlan just yell, "A shocker in Los Angeles!"...and then go silent for about a minute, then awkwardly sign off, as if he was being yelled at into his earpiece?
