Wendel Suckow, who I always figured would die on a luge truck somewhere, with his last name serving double duty as his epitaph.

Most of the time, there’s at least a few members of SCOTUS who don’t show up - they haven’t had the whole 9-member bench there since 1972. But this year, they’re only getting four, the lowest turnout since over half the bench skipped Bush’s last SOTU in 2008. Roberts, Breyer, Kagan, and Gorsuch are the only ones…

Don’t forget the Kansas City Chiefs, who play in Arrowhead Stadium. And the Chicago Blackhawks, with their racist logo, too. That’s all the pro sports teams I can think of, but there’s probably a ton in college that I’m missing.

Don’t put that evil on all of us. He’s a reverse carpetbagger who moved up from Arkansas specifically to run in this Senate election, because Missouri has a Democratic senator.

They just beat the everloving shit out of the ball. The NLDS against the Phillies was pretty tightly played, but they scored 43 runs in 6 games against Milwaukee, 38 runs in seven against the Rangers. In 18 games that postseason, they were shutout only once. In the WS, they had four guys who OPS’d over 1.000. David…

...who sent him on to the Cardinals for the stretch run in...2011? I think? I can’t even remember if they used him in the playoffs, but I guess he has at least one WS ring from that year.

Best part is that North Korea came to the Atlanta games in 1996. And they were in Vancouver in 2010. Hell, they won a pair of golds in Rio in women’s weightlifting and men’s vault.

Ed Lampert ran them into an Ayn Rand dystopian future by being a vulture capitalist John Galt wannabe. They had the catalogue, shipping, and retail experience to be Amazon before Amazon, but they ditched it all to pursue Wall Street financial tricks to artificially inflate share price and then cash out:

I’m still not convinced that Neal Stephenson knows how to write a proper ending. It’s a problem he’s had from very early in his career - the plot runs out of control, events keep rushing forward with tidal-wave force, and then he just...fizzles. He still writes a cracking great book, but man, I think I’ve been…

1992 was the year I went to my first ballgame, because I remember watching Bob Tewksbury beat the Padres from the very very top of old Busch Stadium. We were sitting so high you could look out the concrete arches around the top and see the rest of the city. I want to say that Tewks went the distance and gave up like…

My favorite Bobby Bo trivia answer is “how did Albert Pujols break into the majors?” He was the 25th guy to make the roster after Bonilla got hurt in spring training and started the season on the DL.

I mean, Bearden v. Georgia is related to probation vs. imprisonment based on ability to pay a fine, but two-tier prisons based on ability to pay? Right up the same alley, dude.

About that whole family: she married Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s brother Al, who was also a gold medalist triple-jumper. Jackie married Flo Jo’s college track & field coach, Bob Kersee.

Missouri just implemented a revamped criminal code starting in 2017, so felonies now run from A (murder 1) to E. The range of punishment for an E felony is anything from probation/fine up to 4 years in prison.

They’re charging him with a Felony E “Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Exhibiting”, which, if the charge sticks, would cause him to lose his guns. No felon in Missouri is allowed to own a firearm, of any type.

The Alabama constitution permits restricting the vote for people who commit crimes of “moral turpitude”. There were at least two, maybe as many as five different lists of what constituted “a crime of moral turpitude” prior to this law being passed. This law didn’t actually restore very many voting rights - it merely…

Didn’t they give the alien in Predator dreads? Now you know who wypipo would be voting for in the Alien v. Predator movie.

Wasn’t he an evil pirate in a movie about a kid who gets marooned on an island and discovers the pirate’s treasure, and then they come back for it and he pulls wacky Home Alone-esque hijinks in the jungle to defeat them? There might also have been a gorilla.

Was there a list of winners posted somewhere and I just missed it?
