I was in my horse crazy girlhood when Affirmed won and will never forget that race. That horse was uncannily expressive and so, so determined.

I think you need to carry the legacy.

A lot of sex with pretty mares. Not a bad retirement.

You could stack them.

One of my earliest memories, watching this with my parents.

The 1970s were a good time to be a horse crazy kid. I remember Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Secretariat all sweeping the Triple Crown.

I remember hooting and hollering as Affirmed ran Belmont and swept the Triple Crown. It’s really a phenomenal horse-and-jockey-and-trainer team who can pull that off.

We just set up our swamp cooler. Long live the swamp cooler!

Christ, people, quit with the body shaming. Can’t you come up with something more intelligent to say about Christie? It's not like he shies away from the limelight.

There are very, very good reasons to prohibit these liaisons, above and beyond sexuality, responsibility and social mores; e.g., example, the possibility of biased evaluations of a student’s work or outright academic fraud.

My pre-WWII generation parents taught me and my sister to a) work hard and look forward to a career; and b) always turn off the radio when ‘needy’ romantic pop songs came on. “I’m not raising my girls to cry about ‘needing’ a man,” I remember my dad saying, gruffly.

Christ on a bicycle, I am so glad I didn’t pursue an academic position.

Okay, so I’m old... But are ‘jorts’ really a thing? And I mean that in two ways:

If the athletes had a conscience, they’d refuse to play the World Cup in Qatar. But everyone’s in on the FIFA cash cow and it makes me want to barf.

That shirt really needs tailoring.
