Can’t believe you left out UPMC. As a physician, I am fascinated by the amount of world-changing advances coming out of there. Also, and I say this as a Philadelphian who is apparently supposed to look down my nose at yinz, Pittsburgh has completely reinvented itself. Nothing bad to say about it, except fuck Sidney…

There’s a (possibly apocryphal) story about Merle meeting Cash for the first time and mentioning he was at the famous San Quentin concert, and Cash saying “I’d forgotten you’d played in my band,” at which point Merle corrected him by stating he was in the audience.

I was in Austin probably 15 years ago and was coming down the elevator of a hotel around 6:30 am to go for a run. As I reached the bottom floor, the doors opened, and Merle Haggard is standing there with some woman, both three sheets to the wind. Merle slinks in before I can get out, and he looks me over in my gym…

Given the side of our population (~320k) and general unity, we get things done quickly which usually takes muuuuch longer for other larger nations to get results. This will be interesting

Not only are the Cardinals in last place, but they’re winless in the month of April. Trash.

likewise the Specials’ A Message To You Rudy

The classic tune by The Clash “Rudy Can’t Fail” however is fucking awesome.

You know what else sucks?

The jokes on you, I lived in Ocala for 8 years, I know the Villages very well. Nothing like driving through the villages at night seeing old people in gold carts with panties on their heads. Old people hedonism is appalling and scary, but you can’t look away.

Can we all agree that while golf is utter shit, and people who actually spend 6 hours a day watching people whack a ball are crazy, but how awesome are golf carts? They are the tops!

My brother had an apartment in somewhat wealthy area of New Jersey. So when he signed his son up for soccer, he ended up on a team with a bunch of wealthy kids. They were always doing soccer fundraisers. It would be like $100 to go golfing for a day.

Golf is the worst. Holy shit, golf is the worst. Goodbye, golf.

“Say hello to my little beer!”

I don’t speak Spanish too well. … I think it was a Cuban person, frustrated about the politics of it, I guess. He threw two beer cans. Nobody got hit. Nobody did anything. Maybe some guys got wet. It was a Cuba thing.

The only way that any president, including the Messiah Bernie, can live up to their campaign promises is to elect a democratic majority in the House and Senate. And even then, not all democrats are liberal. Because that is how government works. Your lot can blame Obama all you want for not magically swooping down and…

I once saw a woman in Portland who was about 4'8" in 6" platform sandals with rainbow leggings. Then a ferret peaked out of the hood of her hoodie. I was totally sober BTW.

I don’t get it at all. I voted for Bernie in my state’s primary, but it makes literally no sense to sit this one out. She might not be as progressive as I’d like, but at least she won’t be sending us backwards. And we can keep pressure on her throughout her presidency to come through with her campaign promises. But…

Of course it would be Portland!

The conversation, as it stands right now, is that CHILDREN ARE FUCKING DYING OF EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASES AND VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM YOU FUCKING IGNORANT FLAMING COCKGERBIL

Possible third option: the GOP convention will predictably result in the complete and total destruction of the city just before the football season starts, the Browns’ season will be cancelled, and all will generally agree that things worked out for the best.
