Yes. My 6-year-old takes taekwando and she was playing around one night as I was bent over to tuck her into bed and kicked me so hard in the face that I saw stars. The moral of this story is that a kindergartener almost KO’d me, so it’s hard to even imagine taking a pounding from an adult with years of training. Also,…

All good points. She was looking pretty gassed. I understand the anatomical reasons, which I guess I could have made clearer. It’s just fascinating to watch fighters take square punches over and over, then take a shot that looks glancing but hits a nerve plexus or something and they drop like a rock. It’s also partly…

BELTGHAZI!!!

Here’s a pretty recent catalog:

Two season tickets, please! I’ll go StubHub if I have to.

Had to be done in committee, too. No way just one of them alone is that, uh, clever.

I’m guessing it tastes like wood and accelerant, with subtle notes of poop swastika.

Yeesh. This is probably as good a place as any to point out that “poop swastika hoax” is actually a thing people believe.

I believe the actual quote is:

“My impression is that Obama is eager to get out of town. I’m eager to have him get out of town.”
