The Brewers don't have a ton going for them, but damn, do I love that they're the Commissioner's favorite. I hope to see a lot of this system this year.

Most of the water out there comes from snowmelt off the Sierra Nevadas, so I bet it's just a way to keep one farm from diverting all the water. I'm not a pro, though. From what I understand, snowmelt is pretty reliable, but a three year drought is just too much.

I've heard this is the worst in a century, so no, at this level or with this level of infrastructure. My friend whose entire family works ag has told me that farmers have been informed they get zero water allotment this year around Modesto. I'm not sure where they're going to get the water, but it's going to be very…

But I don't really want the FBI kicking my door in. I just want to add a lot of noise to my signal. It's a really nice door, after all.

"I would say that the fact that the death of a parent is a predominant theme for superheroes is pretty good evidence that its is an art form for children. After all, who is terrified about the loss of a parent and needs a fantasy response to that event?"
Let's give him a chance, people! Pierre, are your folks dead? Or…

I don't know, Putin may be helping us have a new movie villain.

+3 frigging hours in Cleveland.

I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet (and, unlike some commenters here, I may watch the entire video, because I'm pretty much a tinfoil-hat wearing fan of privacy), but some days, I just want to flood the NSA, advertisers, and whomever else with false data. Make long phone calls to random people, send e-mails…

It's a weird story for a lot of reasons, if you ask me. Yes, California's been dry for a long time, but that means that very little water will be absorbed into the soil. This means flash floods for a lot of spots. Even three inches of rain is a big problem out there if the soil and sewage drainage doesn't work quite…

That's actually really cool. Is there some prohibition against having someone read his lines? It seems like a big part of the worship is doing just that.

I read once that some people think the hanged man is supposed to be the same person as the sign painter in Beer Street, the companion piece to this.

Do you know what conventions they did them at? YouTube and I are about to spend a quality eight minutes, but I need more details to find it, I think.

So corny, but so much fun. Thanks!

The Assassination Of Jesse James was good? I hadn't heard anything about it, but it kept catching my eye every time I was at the video rental shop. I kind of wish I'd picked it up now, but unfortunately, it was always second choice. I may have to look it up.

"Okay, admittedly I haven't seen this."

My feelings are hurt. I may cry. I think it's selfless to put yourself in the worst role.

Thanks for the response! Any guess how long this deal will be good for?

My Xbox Live subscription is almost up, and I'm looking to renew. What price should I be looking for? Is this $40 deal good? Because I'm lazy, I always just let it auto-renew.

I don't hate the idea, but I would prefer if they made his spot a very brief tribute to him. I mean, he still had his hand in the script, and Egon was always the least interesting character of the bunch.

I wouldn't be surprised if they could take the Bucks to school right now.
