I like The Strain. It’s good, dumb fun. Not everything has to be Breaking Bad.

I wonder if networks realize they have programmed people like us NOT to get invested in shows, particularly of the Sci Fi Genre, for precisely this reason. Hell, I didn’t watch the first season of Heroes when it aired because of that.

The last bunch of episodes of Dollhouse were exhilarating. If season 1 started off that exciting that Whedon fella might have made it in the entertainment biz.

I’ve never read a GA comic and had no idea he and BC are a longstanding couple. I don’t think GA history is as iconic as Superman’s, so the writers probably have a lot more leeway than did the Smallville writers.

When I was in high school there was an old-fashioned candy store in the New Dorp section of Staten Island called Paul’s Sweet Shoppe that had a wall full of comics and magazines. Even after Jim Hanley’s Universe opened, I continued to patronize the candy shop because I liked the nice old man. Long before pull lists,…

Judging by your ID I’m guessing you saw Angel’s performance last night. For those who didn’t - Terry Collins confronted the home plate ump amidst a mild brouhaha over a quick pitch. Hernandez dashed in from 1B for no reason at all and started yelling at everyone. “Look at me! I’m here!”. What a tool.

MLB had the opportunity to crush the umpires union a few years ago and only bring back the decent umps, and they chickened out for some ridiculous reason. Now Joe West and Angel Hernandez still have jobs.

So upon boarding a fairly underbooked flight, I should put a heavy coat on my lap for two hours just on the odd chance the flight attendant is rude, lazy and bad at her job? Did you need even read my post?

Shortly after having our daughter we moved 8 minutes from my parents. I have literally never spent a penny on babysitting. Three months after birthday we were doing overnights in Manhattan and Atlantic City. Best move ever.

I don’t say anything when someone sneezes. Do you comment or issue blessings after a cough? Then why for a sneeze?

Pasta salad is a side dish, not an entree. It’s fine between your second and third burger at the cookout. At least it’s better than actual salad.

Baseball has layer upon layer of strategy and planning. People who don’t like it just aren’t bright enough to appreciate it. That’s fine, there are sports for them:

Your husband is nuts. He bailed on the responsibility of his new child to go to a funeral?! What’s more important - helping your exhausted wife and taking care of a newborn infant, or staring at a corpse? Standing around with distant family members saying “She looks so natural”, “It’s for the best, she was suffering…

My familiarity with Macklemore was that there is a performer named Macklemore; recently (via this site!) I learned that Macklemore is A). a person, not a group and B). he is apparently a rapper of little renown.

“the average NFL game (which takes 3-3.5 hours) has ELEVEN minutes of actual action.”

He will always be a hero for telling the municipal unions to go fuck themselves.

I told my daughter from the very beginning of school that if she ever REALLY has to go and the teacher won’t let her, she has my permission to ignore the teacher and walk right out. Getting detention (which I will have dismissed) beats pissing yourself in front of a classroom full of assholes who will never let you…

High school buddies have an annual fishing trip to the beach nearby. It’s essentially a 12+ hour overnight drinking marathon that generally results in hilarity, liver damage, and a 2-day hangover.

Nah, forget the hat. As my Dad said to me when I was 12 and excited about my Little League hat and wanted to wear it out to dinner, “If you’re not playing baseball and you’re wearing a baseball hat, you look like you’re on an outing from the retard home.” (That was a long time ago when people still said shit like…

Berman has been doing this shit for decades and still can’t control his breathing. I hope he passes out from lack of oxygen while yelling an inanity some day and dashes his head apart on the desk.
