The only problem is that I was waiting for him to end the commercial with “Maximum Derek!”

“Olyphant’s delivery of his line to the annoyed Eleanor (“I don’t have a dog in this fight little lady, Im just lookin for clarity.”) is easily one of the biggest laughs of the series.”

This didn’t land for me at all as someone who’e never seen Justified. “One of the biggest laughs of the series”? Not even close.

I can’t really remember the last time The Good Place made me laugh a lot.

too bad that you didn’t get “Mothers and Sons” or “Stamps from Arount the World”

Your statement vis-a-vis Live checks out.  

People who think addiction is just about will power piss me off. I’ve got some experience with addiction. Fortunately, opiates were never one of them. I’ve taken them for weeks on end after surgeries, and even not after surgeries, and stopped without ever getting a craving. I quit cigarettes without much trouble too.…

I give the edge to historical figures being the most famous. How many people are going to remember somebody like Cher or even Michael Jackson in 200 years?

New York: We’re savages in that box.
Colorado: Hold our artisanal dry-hopped 8 ounce taster.

I know I’ve told this story before, but, when my son was three, we were at the zoo and he made that face that little boys make (it’s always little boys) when they desperately need to poop but really don’t want to stop what they’re doing.

Or the Rodman theory, in which they move to North Korea.

Or the Madlib theory when they [verb] a bunch of [plural noun] all [preposition] a [place.]

Or the MadBum Theory, where they give up home runs into large bodies of water and get butthurt about it.

Well at least Harper is in a city known for being understanding and forgiving for the next 13 years.

I really want it to come out that Harper has decided that all the effort of playing the best baseball isn’t worth it. So he’s just going to work to rule, coast along for 13 years and get paid his $300 million or so.

I get the digest email every day at 12:30. So I make sure to grab lunch right before that and then play “Which completely innocuous looking headline is going to devolve into a massive shit show invoking the second amendment, bible versus, name calling, threats at least three people threatening to quit the site and…

Counterpoint:

Been going to the supermarket at about 9am nearly every Sunday for the last 20 years. Nearly empty on the way in, starting to get crowded (but not yet at the registers) on the way out.

Don’t be silly. From one of the related articles to the trade story on ESPN’s site:

Voting is slacktivism. The House is gerrymandered so much that it worsens obtuse radicalism with each cycle. The notion of each state having equal repreaentation in the Senate is so outmoded that it has become the downfall of the nation. And the electoral college is antithetic to the very notion of democracy. And it…

Maybe I missed it, but I dont think the author is arguing for not voting. They’re saying that Lynch’s valid points about his community’s history and needs were ignored by two old white men who think they know better than him.
