I love the use of “prim” as a standalone adjective without its usual tag-along partner, “and proper.” Very stylish. I am going to borrow that.

Serious question(s): prostitution is illegal in many places in the United States, including where I live and where I am reading this (I am not expressing an opinion on that one way or the other, it’s just a fact). Is Gawker Media at all concerned about liability in connection with posts like this, viz., that its…

He turns 26 on November 8 of this year. Will be one of the youngest in history to reach 200 home runs. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: watching Stanton and Harper face off against Harvey, DeGrom, Syndergaard, Wheeler and Matz for the next few years (or at least until all of those pitchers bolt from Queens…

The Hack Sox Scandal

No, I think it was Englewood Animal Hospital. Even Oradell wouldn’t see them.

We had guinea pigs when we were growing up (as pets, never as meals). They were fucking disgusting and I have no idea how my mother put up with it. The best (though by no means only) story from our decade-long run as guinea pig owners occurred when we decided to let one of the males (Peanut Butter) bunk in with one of…

Smuttynose is having a real Sam Adams moment — their core offerings are great, but they are trying to branch in too many directions too quickly. Shoal’s Pale Ale and Finestkind IPA are so unconditionally fantastic, though, that I think these guys deserve a pretty wide berth at trying new things.

All those swimming trophies my mom has displayed so proudly all these years suddenly seem to shine a little less brightly today. Thanks a lot, internet. You ruin everything.

Tom’s use of the present tense to justify his sanguinity with a possible t-rex encounter (“t-rex’s are big and stupid . . .”) is my early favorite thing about this, my new favorite thing. Check back often for updates.

IT WAS FOUL!

It was foul!

This calls for an immediate off-season Jamboroo just so Drew can award this game negative throwgasms.

The Panthers are just trying to support the NFL’s Pay60 initiative.

I was going to poke fun at the mgk086’s spelling error, but I have to admit that Barry Sanders was idle for most of my childhood, too.

The NL East might not be is not the best in baseball, but it is an absolute pleasure to get to watch Bryce Harper face Matt Harvey 15-20 times a year. Harvey has owned him so far (0 for 12, 6 Ks and a walk), but that just makes me more scared of what Harper will eventually do to him. Bryce Harper is good.

One time I ate peanut butter and cheese cuz it’s fucking dope. #teamdickey

Roger Sterling should be ranked higher. One of the best television characters of all time.
