Damn. Damn.

Just... damn.

Like any good PR/marketing dude, Drew answers the question he wanted, not the one that was asked. He could run for office! At least until #choppedshirtgate brings him low.

Literally. The same people who got Ryan Lochte. It’s terrible!

I’ve written about this elsewhere, but this is an extreme and extremely entertaining example of the challenge faced by organizers of a relatively new and growing sport. You want to set your qualifying standard low enough that you get interest and competition from lots of different countries, in order to keep growing…

There’s a tradition that Eleazar was a giant, right? Lust-levels unclear however.

I don’t drink anything in these days unless it’s thoroughly diluted with Popov. Welcome to being a Mets fan.

Psht, man, this ain’t shit on the LOLMET-scale. When he gets called up, that’s a LOL. When he starts to consistently hit above .300, that’s 2 LOLs for the cognoscenti because we know it won’t last. When he takes us all the way to the final out of the NLCS and then strikes out looking against the Nats (this time),…

Unmarked bills, man. You know the drill by now. And if he so much as sniffs the cops...

Is it still OK to complain about the pivot to video? If so: I would have liked to know their thoughts on the movie but I can’t normally watch videos. I will try to come back to this at a different time.

Starting with Goldwater, continuing through Nixon and the Southern Strategy right through Reagan and Lee Atwater, yeah.

Could we get rid of the auto-play video ads? I turned off the ad blocker (‘cuz Drew asked us to!) and immediately regretted it.

Yeah I mean, she is a competitive powerlifter, (and I am a non-competitive powerlifter), so I’m not really opposed to sumo-style deadlifts one way or the other. It seems to work well for some folks, but as far as I can tell there is no systematic rule for “If you look like X you should lift sumo,” so that makes me…

Yeah. Jen Thompson is some kinda something. They need to just acknowledge that she gets auto-1st-place forever, and let everybody else compete again.

One commenter? TWO commenters?!? But he - but you can’t - Oh, my medication!

A bit of a stretch, but the idea of the “Odyssey” (a long trip home) ultimately surfaced with Voyager.

I thought I remembered the Teeeeee but was unsure and didn’t want to go out on a limb.

If we go, like, full-Hobbes here, a totally empowered and stable Leviathan would be able to rule over an otherwise perfectly egalitarian society. Barring that hypothetical end of the spectrum, though, I don’t a society with the kind of power struggles that monarchies (and every other kind of government) have can be…

My friend group also loved the hell out of this one, except we were always a little chagrined because one of the quotes was like 10 seconds long: “First name...[long pause]... Mister. Middle name... [long pause] Period. Last name [long pause] T.”

+1 pellet-firing umbrella (different guy i know!)

So... they wanna name it the Low Bridge? I guess everybody’s down with that.
