Lifelong Texan, but I've only been out in west and far north Texas a few times. Weirdest landscape in the world out there in the Davis Mountains. It's like this empty, rocky lunar landscape with a freeway being the only thing to break the monotony. Out of the blue you come around a curve and there are freaking huge…

MRSA.

I'm a dad and not a mom, but I did the bulk of my son's care when he was in his first two years. Tried everything to get him to stop - gripe water, bundling him up tightly and rocking him, singing to him, taking him outside (which did seem to temporarily help), on and on and on. The combination of two things - putting…

I'm going to assume that if the Hoff paid $2 million for a house that the floors are clean enough to eat off of.

I'm with you. I'll state first that I always liked the show because I've been familiar with recovery for 20+ years. However, I don't buy that almost 66% of the people have stayed sober. I believe the success rate is more along the lines of 5% of people who attend a 30 day inpatient program.

My apologies too for my mean reply. No, I didn't mean mine was the best way, just that it's the way that works for me. To each his own, I suppose. No harm, no foul.

Y0u're just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. I didn't say there aren't people who like the company of someone older or younger. I said it didn't work for me. I don't find it difficult to talk to anyone, but I typically have closer relationships with people closer to my own age. And I didn't say I was into…

See, I don't understand this. I mean, I get that a lot of men just want the pretty, young face and body, but I just couldn't ever bring myself to look for women that much younger than me. I mean, assuming that this is all eventually leading to the bedroom, what do you talk about after that part's done? I can't imagine…

Perhaps it's just Grieco perviness.

Dude, the Models with Bottles video is so obviously fake, but nice of Deadspin to give SWM a free plug. Is that plastic storage tub that just happens to have empty beer bottles in it the best they can do for a trash can? I love the way the guy who's protecting bottle head make sure he moves the right direction so the…

Actually, no. I'm a software engineer, but the school I went to was really big on developing critical thinking, especially as it relates to social issues. I was already long employed in IT when I went back to school so it was really all about studying what I enjoyed rather than what I did for work.

This is one of the worst things that were done in a knee jerk reaction to the "crack epidemic." My dissertation was about disparity in sentencing and mandatory minimums. The stories of the people affected by mandatory minimums are shocking and it's hard to believe anyone could contend that the sentencing guidelines…

Unfortunately, no. I'm down in Texas. I've grown to hate the heat, but I'm too attached to wearing shorts in February to ever be able to move to colder climes.

Thank you. Me too.

This. I'm relatively an old so I've seen more than my share of them up close and personal and in all colors, sizes, etc. I can honestly say that any time a woman was willing to let me get that close to hers, it was the most beautiful one I'd ever seen.

I'm not sure if you're serious or if there's a joke I'm missing somewhere, but if you're being serious, the odds are correct. A 7-1 shot is less likely than a 2-1 shot. They're using betting odds (what you're calling ratios). 7-1 means that for every dollar you bet you get 7 back if you win, 2-1 means 2 dollars back…

Whatever, man. I honestly don't care what you do. I'm just encouraging you to take a public stand for your stated ideals. Don't just sit here on Gawker and rail, man, get out there and tell the pigs how you really feel!

Okay, well go ahead and yell at them then. You can commiserate about ideals with your fellow inmates when they take you to jail. I never said anything was okay or not okay, I'm just stating the reality of the situation.

I won't argue the statistics with you because I'm too lazy to go look them up and they sound reasonable. With that said, I would disagree and say that they are taking that risk, no matter how likely or unlikely. If I was applying for a new job and they told me that there was a chance I might get shot someday, I'd have…

Yeah, I want to see you walk over within earshot of the nearest cop and scream that. They tend to try to make examples out of people who are blatantly disrespectful. It's not just town/city cops who do this. I live in one of the largest cities in the US and they do it here too. If you antagonize them they're going to…
