Jozy Altidore looked at the scoreline at halftime and said, "Nope. Not today," and then proceeded to take the offense onto his shoulders and pretty much just wreck the place. At 23, he's already a complete class act. I think we can look forward to many years of Jozy being amazing.
Yeah, Altidore really does have the best first touch in all of football, combined with the worst second touch. Once he realized he only needs the one, he went from a scoring threat to a force of nature.
Regarding Enigma, there are also a few other factors that played into everything. At one point, the Allies had already captured an Enigma machine, but they didn't know how to calibrate it to get the current cyphers...until the Nazis used the Enigma machine to send a coded "happy birthday, Hitler" message, which gave…
It's not laziness, it's the natural evolution of language. Consider the word "silly." Today, it means "humorous, absurd, stupid." However, the earliest known definition was "innocent, blessed by God." That part about "innocent" gradually morphed into "naive," which then morphed into "stupid," and the rest is history.…
While yes, it's a mod, running a full-scale MMO is no small task. In that regard, 80,000 seems a little lowball, budget-wise. I hope for their sake that they have alternative funding sources already lined up.
Actually, the most Mariner of ways to lose is to get yourself a 10-0 lead and take it into the 9th inning. Then, you bring on your worst reliever. This is saying something, because you are the Mariners, and all of your relievers are bad. The reliever will then proceed to give up 20 unanswered runs on walks, hit…
Zuckercorn: TAKE TO THE SEA!
Yeah, I suspect that without B5 to spur it on, DS9 would have probably stayed a generic Star Trek show, and died after 2 seasons.
It's the equivalent of the low kick in Mortal Kombat: Easy to defend against, but no one ever does.
Any time Arjen Robben pretended he wasn't going to cut inside and shoot with his left. Oops, sorry, mistook this for Deadspin! At any rate, I've committed to the gag, so enjoy these images from a hilarious Grantland article!
Steve?
While the DS9/B5 rivalry may not have had a point, it did do some good. DS9 needed that extra kick in the pants to veer off the beaten Trek-Path to be its own series, which was awesome in its own right. B5 was just plain awesome.
When talking about Meta, I don't know how we can forget Scalzi's Red Shirts, which just starts as a funny goof on Star Trek's tropes, and then turns into something much deeper and personal once it gets at the end.
The other thing is that base rookie salary goes further in some locations than in others. A guy making 35k in, say, Columbus, Portland, Salt Lake City, or Kansas City can do a lot more with it than a guy in San Jose, or Seattle, LA, or New York. This isn't any judgment on any of the teams or the cities involved, but…
I'm the fuckin' Doctor, you fuckin' prick!
I don't think you will find much argument about EPL being a higher-quality league, but the fact is that at Spurs, Dempsey is not getting a whole lot of play-time outside of FA Cup matches, and the most important thing going into a World Cup year is getting playing time, because that helps you keep in form. Riding the…
Actually, Khadvar would be an entirely new character, as the mage pictured above is actually Khadgar, who was Medivh's apprentice.
I think we would be remiss if we missed out on the old Targaryen rule in Game of Thrones, specifically in the time when Tywin Lannister was Hand of the King. He ensured that people were taxed fairly, that people had enough food to survive the long winters, and that there was a minimum of chaos. When Aerys went mad and…
I thought the old lady was pretending as Godzilla, but really, she was just out of vodka.
