Maybe a compromise would be if a pitcher throws two consecutive pitchouts, the batter is awarded 1st base and it's scored an IBB. You don't see that many pitchouts now trying to catch runners stealing, so I don't think it's affect that aspect much.

A lot of folks on the internet tend to badly misuse the term "ad hominem". So I want to thank you for giving us such a great example to learn from.

Here's a star to help build your own Fort Kickass.

yeah, but are we getting a dance studio?

the current subscription is currently 6.8 million. thats a 3.2 million drop over 2 years. No other Xpac has been so bad for subs.

are you even aware of how much you're just making up now? Look, ingredient labels aren't in random order. They list the ingredients in order of prominence by weight. For example, the ice cream portion of these sandwiches weighs more than the wafer portion. And in the ice cream, the weight of milk is greater than the…

No, in point of fact we don't agree, because you clearly don't actually think it was wrong. That you don't even realize that, or are pretending that you don't, says nothing good about you, my friend.

Duh, indeed. Tell you what, next time someone makes you angry, punch them in the face. Then see how far "I couldn't help it, they provoked me. I mean, you wouldn't poke a bear, amirite?" gets you. I anxiously await your story of vindication.

Oh, I get the analogy. The analogy is just asinine. It's also very very old, so I'm surprised no one ever told you how asinine it is. You see, the behavior of a provoked bear is both predictable and inevitable. Is it both predictable and inevitable that a human male will commit an act of violence when provoked? If so,…

Husbands and boyfriends are as dangerous as wild bears? Who knew...

Yes, I know I brought it up. And I know why I brought it up: because in the absence of any other standard of pertinence, that's the one I applied. You don't seem to like that one, but you haven't offered any other. And it's not the definition of pertinent in question here, it's the standard. So, no, legally…

Well, you'e not exactly being forthcoming with what would qualify as "pertinent". So I'm having to do the work for you. Your hypotheticals don't rise to "pertinent" because they wouldn't exonerate the attacker. If you'd like to use some other standard of "pertinent", fine, but only you know what that is.

"Hypothetically speaking," sure, those are the facts of the Rice case. But Mr. Maybe isn't talking about the Rice case. He's posing his own hypotheticals. So what the hell are you talking about?

Then only one party is committing a crime. (Even in states where adultery is a criminal offense, I doubt it rises to a level where it can be used as extenuating circumstance for battery.) So, no, it's not pertinent.

Does rubbing stained sheets in your spouses face rise to the level of domestic battery? Would it justify retaliatory violence? Is there a point coming any time soon?

His Twitter profile does indeed identify him as "Anthony of Opie & Anthony". The argument will be that doing so makes the Twitter feed an extension of the show, and therefore representative of SiriusXM. Your health food worker example probably isn't relevant, unless she was a public figure or at least the public face…

I think you're confusing "private" with "personal". His Twitter account is not, AFAIK, private. It's very much public. It's even a "verified" account, meaning that Anthony Cumia, a public figure, wants the public to know that tweets coming from this account, and only this account, are coming from Cumia himself. If…

According to the linked article, he'd already played his "Do you know who I am?" card on the ushers in the theater before the cops arrived. Extra points for adding, "Do you know my life?"

Some VA's specialize in dialects and accents, other's in performances, others in "silly voices", and others in being "That Guy". Phil LeMarr is good example of the first. He regularly voiced Green Lantern John Stewart and Aquaman in the same productions. Jennifer Hale is the second. I love love love her performances,…
