I have never heard of Clone High, but I love Party Down so fucking much that I’m going to go find Clone High and watch it just based on this comment. Thanks for the tip!

What southerners are like this? All of them? That can’t possibly be true, or else they would have to give out packs of Kleenex to everyone who walks through the gate at a college football game in the south.

The worst thing is that she would try to induce paw paw Tim’s rage on purpose. After singing the line “that our flag was still there” she would throw in “whoa-oh, we’re livin’ on a prayer”

People telling people to “stop” is the new shittest thing on the internet. Proceed.

Are those the only two choices? I always thought the best way to deal with your ex-wife was (1) get remarried to someone younger and prettier and (2) spoil the kids so they love the time at your house and hate the time they are stuck at your ex-wife’s house.

This is exactly right, and it applies to every show, not just The Wire. Say you plan to watch it soon and you don’t want any spoilers, and whoever is pestering you to watch it will immediately shut the fuck up. “No spoilers” are magic words.

Airwolf. It’s got everything: helicopters, Ernest Borgnine, helicopter chases, Jan-Michael Vincent, helicopter stunts. Put that show on Netflix and I’ll watch it as soon as I’m done with Manimal.

This is exactly right. The first thing you learn in Torts class is that even a signed document warning of the risk and releasing the company is not worth the paper it is written on if the company does not act reasonably.

I did this once with my 5 year old daughter, sitting in seats offered by a friend. The seats were right in the spot where the net ended, and the usher came by before the game to say that they would move us to different seats if we did not feel safe. I thought that sounded paranoid so I declined.

I think an autograph can be cool if it is part of a memento of some other event besides seeing a player and asking for an autograph. I think getting an autograph on a home run ball that you catch in the stands is fine. People who throw out the first pitch usually get the ball autographed by the player who caught it.

Everybody who follows the NL even a little knows that Grienke is an odd duck. A more gentle approach, one that doesn’t involve hunting him down during warmups to “confront” him and “tell him what I thought of him,” probably would have worked better. But leaving strategy aside, Neshek comes off as an aggressive asshole…

Don’t think of it as how many yards he attempted to throw for. Think of it as average yards gained per passing play.

Your statement is a strong one, but I don’t think I can argue that it was overrated. It was really good, but it was also too fucking precious, you know? If not for the stars and their outstanding performances, I think the cracks in the foundation would have been easier to see.

It seems to me that the umpires would also want to make the switch at this point. All balls and strikes were arguable back in the last century, when televisions were fuzzy and computerized pitch tracking did not exist. But now every person watching the game sees the umps fucking it up in real time, and even the umps…

Uh, you can be as fuck the police as you want, and still see that what happened was an appropriate use of force. This was after three hours of the teams fighting during the game, and it boiled over into a full-on brawl among dozens of large, strong teenage boys. What was the cop supposed to do, keep yelling at them?…

Too soon.

Maybe I am remembering the movie incorrectly, it’s been many years since I have seen it, but as I recall there is a scene where Alex and Dan talk about it and she makes it clear that she’s down for a no-strings fling and was not looking for a relationship or to break up his marriage. I thought she was the one who…

No, money grows in the ground. It is the root of all something or other.

Dogging Billy Zabka? Never! It’s exactly the opposite: he was the first person I thought of wearing weightlifting gloves without lifting weights. He is an icon. Hell, he’s a goddamn national treasure!
