So here is what was completely reCOCKulous about the liquids ban: At the time my mother was still a flight attendant for Delta. Now, when she would have to have layovers, she would have to buy all of her toiletries over and over again, because she could not take them with her. This, my friends, not un-like the ban…

"Ooh! A quarter!"

ESPN apology:

It appears that they've pulled the article.

... and it's gone

I could be wrong, but at least from the link in the post, it appears they have pulled the article.

Oh good. My laundry. Is done.

Qatar Hero

He spent 4 days there and now he is the expert?

Well done. More ethics-free journalism. Let's not be naive though as to where the oil-rich nations get the money to buy journalists.

What's really amazing is that he calls out "objective keyboards" as if journalists with no stake in who hosts the World Cup shouldn't get a say, when he, of the "all-expenses paid trip" is allowed to opine.

Can't wait for Phil Ball's North Korean junket.

I visited Detroit airport. It was very nice and shinny. Detroit Rocks! What crime? What poverty? (aside: and Detroit Rocks City is an amazing movie)

Shearer and Qatar? Sounds like a convention for hairdressers, amirite?

The link on ESPNFC is dead, so that's fun and not suspicious.

I don't even understand what this is about. Seriously, I don't get it. Like, at a fundamental level, I have no comprehension of what this article's subject is.

conan always emphasizes the females wearing skimpy clothes. The thing is, for somebody who never plays games, those characters must look extremely provocative. I feel the conan clueless gamer videos are a good study in how numb most gamers are to oversexualized characters, in comparison to average, non-gaming…

Don't blame BMW, blame the pedestrian safety regulations. The minimum space between the hood and the top of the engine has resulted in every car getting larger, to keep them looking proportionate.

That is one thing that torques (heh) me off to no end every time I see it. I just want to rip the marketing exec's head off who thought of that.

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND NOT AT ALL WHAT YOUNG MEN SHOULD BE DOING IN THE BATHROOM!"
