Shouldn't we just let the invisible hand of the Deadspin comment marketplace decide these things? It got like 10 "+1" replies. Therefore, it is clearly funny.

"Records are a poor apparatus for reflecting anything. For one, the grooves greatly distort the image. Second, they're not polished to a smooth enough surface to allow for proper reflection of light."

The Chinese are having a much easier time dealing with this than the Aussies. They're used to disappointing Tiger moms.

"Rzepczynski is worth a shitload of points in Scrabble. R-Z-E-P-C-[has stroke]"

Damn. I had no idea he was that old. I stopped watching wrestling about ten years ago, but the Ramon/Michaels ladder matches were easily my favorite matches of all time. Such a good heel.

Okay, this brings up a good point. What the fuck is with some replies showing up BEFORE the comment they're a reply to? I promise I typed all those posts in order, and now they're all over the damn place.

Still around. Looking to party.

Those recs look great. They might be a little more specific than I'm looking for in this part of my run through history, but I bookmarked them for later. Thanks, man.

Juan Jose Padilla also sees the danger of one too many Red Bulls. But he's not sure how far away the danger is.
