I feel really dirty when I have the O’s on and my five-year-old clearly wants to root for whichever team is winning (the non-O’s) and I am slowly and surely pushing him into a life of disappointment and regret.

I’ve been googling a while and am increasingly sure it’s in the collection “3 Moments of an Explosion,” but the titles are super non-indicative, so who knows.

Yeah it was not a good week.

I barely remember seeing this film, unfortunately, because I watched it on DVD within a day or two of watching Todd Solondz’s “Happiness,” and my hatred for that other movie has utterly obliterated any fondness I might have had for Magnolia.

I read a short story recently, -maybe by China Mieville?- with a similar premise. It centers around a therapist who murders people who are traumatizing her patients. It’s told more as a joke than this movie seems to be.

Got our first foster placement, a newborn, last week, and in the negotiations over future kids, my wife got the football team (the Bills) and I got the baseball team (the Os)

Thalidomide.

If we’re going to have one of the worst seasons in recent Baltimore memory, I’m glad it’s also one of the weirdest. Lot of rare events popping up this year.

Shit. This is great.

Yeah I should have included a caveat that the inversion only applies to off-field performance.

Who bought him a ticket?

The coal store.

What'd I ever do to you?!?

I wasn’t a big football fan in 1994 but I played a lot of Madden ‘94. My chief takeaway from that game, accurate or not, was that the Bucs were god-awful and it was a lot of fun to play as them while beating up on the computer, thus demonstrating my superior Madden skills.

Have you seen Barry’s car? He’s getting the best part of that deal by a wide margin.

YOU LEAVE THOR OUT OF THIS YOU RAPACIOUS HELLION!

¡Miao miao!

Something to do with a time machine and a paradox. Honestly if you don’t have multiple PhDs in quantum physics you’re probably gonna struggle with this one.

Which was the point, I guess, and as someone who enjoys watching teams take irrational and highly sub-optimal shots, is a good thing.
