Went to college in southern Indiana; wild turkeys abound and they are seriously dumb animals. I recall driving down a two lane highway and saw two turkeys fighting. Each was so wrapped up in trying to kill the other that they were completely oblivious to the traffic zipping by inches away and swerving to avoid…

Well, the rugged design of an office chair should be able to handle the high-G stress, right? Also, why is that “do not attempt” warnings make me want to try something even more?

That’s what we renamed the library.

My undergrad school was in southern Indiana and there was a Skyline in our campus center. Despite being from Ohio (Cleveland area; not Cincinnati) I had never heard of, much less smelled, Skyline before. The stench alone was enough to put me off that mess. The worst part was that it was right next to the mail room,…

Another old here. I agree that this is one of the best seasons we’ve seen in a while.

Ah, yes the “Ezekiel Elliot clause.”

As typical when watching as a Browns fan, I am sincerely hoping for success but fully expecting crushing disappointment. Is there a word for this feeling? Do the Germans have one? If not, can we make “Brownsing” a neologism?

Russia/USSR decided to go with turbo props over jets because during the Cold War the Soviet bombers would have to cover huge distances to strike targets in the US.

Duke University: lower your expectations.®

Prediction of statement from OU: “Whelp, if this involved sexual assault we’d be bending over backwards to make excuses for him...”

This is a D-I NCAA student, I’m sure some booster was more than happy to cover it.

I believe you meant to write “Hero Dutch Groundskeeper.”

I hope you guy will touch on the crisis of the 14th century. It’s an era I find fascinating and, like the decline of Rome, is an example of progress going unexpectedly off the rails after a long period of stability and growth.

It might be worth your while to contact the university and express this as an alumnus, as well as encouraging other UT alumni who feel the same way to do so. While it may feel like a David and Goliath fight, Texas as a university (at least compared many other schools) tends to consider to the opinions of Texas Exes,…

It’s interesting that the low visual fidelity of the old cameras actually helps make the practical effect in Sherlock Jr. work. The seam between the shots is invisible.

Once again, the Simpsons predicted it.

Once again, the Simpsons predicted it.

Dresses are still available in DC, but this is the new must-wear look for the Inaugural.

“Can we get R. Kelly to play the Inaugural?”
