Knew as soon as I saw the headline it was going to be Yodaville getting shot up. It's in the desert outside my city. We always enjoy when MAWTS-1 is doing their WTI course here... all sorts of extra aircraft coming and going over town, and they typically conduct one exercise using our city as their training ground.…

There's a great section in Walter Cronkite's memoir where he tells of doing the same thing frequently. Plus the struggle to keep 'nothing' happening for 10, 20, 30 minutes while the ticker was down, being careful to not mention anything that would have been in the newspaper box score the next day had it actually…

We had a hive show up in an outdoor area belonging to our department yesterday. I replied-all with that to the entire department after the boss sent out the email letting us know about it.

Yeah, I was just trying to tell whether his tire crossed before Dixon's front end did. Interesting quirk of drag racing... you can completly destroy the car in an airborne disaster like that and still win.

Damn, I was almost excited for a second. Then I remembered they put a glass roof on this thing and I live in Arizona. Regular cars get hot enough without a sunroof. Might as well brand this thing as the Chevy Solar Oven here.

"Do not attempt."
Damn. There went my plans for the weekend. Anyone need 292,000 lbs of steel to build a teeter-totter? My Tundra should be able to deliver in one load.

Actually, it's a perfect example of how the sales/advertising and journalism side of any media organization should operate independently of each other, with one unable to influence the other, and the journalism side not afraid to go after a sponsor. Granted, the journalism was flawed in this case, but contrary to the…

Nevermind.

You're still a stroke ahead of me if you can hit the green in 3 on a Par 4. ha ha

Somehow a "5 person tornado shelter" sounded more legit than the 3ft x 5ft x 4.5ft casket I found when I checked out what the actual prize was...

Ours switched out their credit card machines a couple months ago to the new ones. They will work with both the Subway app (which I use since Ally doesn't do Apple Pay) or Apple Pay itself (which I have tied to my credit card).

Not sure about what The Purge used, but to be clear here, the issue is not with the tone right before the "This is not a test", it's with the three data bursts before it. When those are rebroadcast, it can trigger other EAS receivers to repeat it, as that's how the system is designed to work. The entire text of the…

I've seen far more desperate pleas for attention.

I'm impressed by the usage of 'obsequious'. In fact, it almost makes me suspect that this may in fact be a well-educated troll.

Wow. I have to say I was intrigued by the rumors that were going around this weekend... but that glass roof is a deal breaker. Hopefully they'll bring one of those beasts to the GM Desert Proving Grounds just down the road from here in July and August and understand why a glass roof on a car is completely unacceptable…

Honestly, I could give two shits about sports in general, but over the last year Deadspin has become one of my must-reads for all the other random stuff, and the obscene amount of smart-assedness. ha ha

Not hardly. We keep winning the conference over them.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Our (junior) college plays a team from Utah that's, shall we say, heavy on the blonde hair and fair skinned players, and our coaches about lose it every year over the number of racial slurs and other verbal abuse thrown at our much more diverse players. It's even worse when it's at…
