is allowance that other people can gang up on you and let you know repeatedly how terrible you are and showing that you are extremely “weak”.

Joe Buck, is that you?

Yep. Not cheating. This is how everyone hits once fastballs hit 85mph and above. You have to look for every advantage. When I played in college, we would use first-name or last-name to tell the batter what was coming, and our coach would excuse those who figured out signs or pitch-tips from postgame conditioning (if…

This is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Don’t do it. People love you.  

I’d like the Habibi-Likio: A block of wood on top of some melted vanilla.

Next, per tradition, the Hell’s Angels will be called in to secure the situation.

Mick Pence would have a much better chance. 

You are correct. Dickishness comes naturally to me. My father was a dick. And his father was a dick. I can only guess that his father, too, was a big dick. It’s why I generally dislike my father, and also why I got deservedly punched in the face twice in high school. As a result, I’ve spent about 98 percent of my…

You have to earn lines like that ... usually with a slurred, half-hoarse voice, followed by a clearing of the jowls.
