Such training in tactical patience allowed Paul Atreides to defeat Jameis, after which he became Paul Muad-dib. I would’ve never figured Floyd to be a Frank Herbert fan, but I have most of Dune series audiobooks, too.

I’d like to see a windmill off his head.

Pfft... you kids. I’ve been online so long that I once had this, the entire Internet on a floppy disk. Yep, pretty much every web page that existed at that time on a single 1.44 MB floppy.

Pretty sure the Chargers don’t need to worry about filling the position of trophy manager.

They’d better hope his son isn’t John.

I’d prefer giving up my nationality before my humanity

“I support you guys, and it’s not about me. I’m not 100% how to handle that, is it cool if I stand behind you?”

I think people can legit feel differently about various forms of activism, and in this case, have legit different relationships with the national anthem. And there’s value in acknowledging and supporting a cause even if they don’t choose to engage in that form of protest.

Genocide seems counterproductive here, no?

Jesus Christ. 35 comments on this article, and 14 of them are about the school’s relative proximity to DC versus Baltimore. I swear, they could release Ebola at Ft. Meade, and half the news would be guys from Dundalk and Glen Burnie pointing out that “it’s really not D.C. when you look at a map,” while their internal…

Baltimore is a quaint DC-area community. I go there to eat often.

Nice try. Never once heard Centenial HS mentioned in The Wire, so you must be wrong.

Tragic. Take away sports and kids will grow up to be useless unproductive bums who lay on their couch all day commenting on Deadspin waiting for their Dominos to arrive.

Geographically, yes, but Howard County is considered part of the Washington-Baltimore-Arlington Combined Statistical Area, making a school within it, by definition, a D.C.-area high school.

The problem with Will Cain and dudes like him is that he has studied and made himself well versed on various subjects in order to stall the progress of a conversation or to simply extinguish it completely.
