I applied to Rice because of the MOB. I didn’t get in. I ended up at Mizzou because it left me in the least debt, but I didn’t join the band because it looked like zero fun.

I don’t take pleasure from their failures the same way I do when the Cubs lose. But I did not stay a fan - I was a fan of St. Louis’ football team, not the Rams organization.

When he wouldn’t even shake Hillary’s hand, I threw up my own and started asking everyone “how does this man expect to handle diplomacy with foreign nations if he can’t even get off his high horse to shake his opponent’s hand?”

The answer seems to be that he’s just going to do whatever he wants. I’m not surprised.

They did, because they were on the edge of bankruptcy. The thinking was “we’re not using these rights, so let’s sell them so we can keep the lights on!”

I often try and start one line for multiple registers when they’re stacked in a way that makes it possible. It works as the line for the self-check machines, but when I’m at the manned registers it doesn’t as often. Sometimes I’ll have people lined up behind me and we all turn and look confused as someone walks past,…

Ash’s dad left to catch a Packasmokes.

I get Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. The difference is that it’s never my secondary console - my 360 was purchased for GH/RDR; my PS2 for Sly Cooper/DDR. I own no PS4 or Xbox, and while there are games I’d like to play (specifically Mirror’s Edge), I cannot afford or justify affording a PS4. Don’t diss on the…

That was Mario Kart 8 music at the end, right?

I’d argue the PS2 “birthed” shovelware.

Levi’s Stadium has this. It supposedly works terribly.

I use online dating to meet people. We talk for a few days, and if it seems like we get along, I suggest we meet up. It’s a good way to weed out people while also being able to meet people (I don’t hang out at bars, so there’s not really a good “singles scene” around me).

Pandemic (and any co-op games really) can be ran single player by just playing multiple characters. Also, the 4e D&D board games literally run themselves.

Well done.

The logic is: how the hell do you sit-wipe? I need clearance, and if I’m not seated, I’m not going to crouch either. Maybe if I was thin, and a woman, I could reach through/around, but then I’m going to get dangerously close to the poowater.

“I give you doctors and medicine and you want magic!”

Assuming that God did indeed create everything, he apparently created everything to follow the rules of chemistry and physics. So why not believe in them? I guess to be fair, gravity doesn’t much care if you believe in it or not, it’ll be there either way.

St. Louis is dead! There’s no economy! Let’s build a bunch of retail that’s literally surrounded by tons of pre-existing, empty buildings! Also, it’s roughly 3 miles from a decade-old 250m mall that just sold at auction for less than 10m.

Got one of these at...Funcoland. The base looks better than this picture.

You can in Missouri! Save for a few counties. To quote Wiki:

I got a GBC battery cover for free back in the 90s. Called them up personally (I must have been 9) and the rep talked to me, saw that I was a Nintendo Power subscriber, and overnighted it to me for free.
