If you have to ask, you can’t afford it...

That’s it, everyone. I’ve seen enough. I’ve talked about this at length with my wife, but this video has really been the catalyst. I’m never going to let my daughter play football.

Ye of little faith! I live in Spain: my wife, daughter, family are Catholic: trust me, you doubting Thomas!

Tiene tre-meeee-ndo, Coulomb!

I have no dog in the fight, but watching Butch Jones go full tomato after the fumble made me really uncomfortable. I thought he was going to Adrian Peterson the kid. And his crying afterwards just made me mad after his rage... I mean, kid was just acting like he had been there before.

Ohm my God!

Neither: Hail Marys.

There was a fiiiiiirefight!!!!!!!

You don’t read much of Billy’s stuff, I see.

I suspected you might have, but I thought it was funny to think about!

It’s also strange that LE -part of the executive branch- is expressing a (disconcerting) opinion about who should be allowed to make opinions and who is deserving of protection. And they seem incapable of recognizing that their stance is itself an opinion. And diametrically opposed to what should be the case, legally,

At least it’s better than what Roman Polanski’s parents tell the neighbors!

Really? I don’t know anyone here in Madrid making much more than a BCG consultant or anything. I’m pretty sure it’s more of a US thing (and none of my Wharton friends went into it and, in fact, seem to mock it for vapidity).

Why do you keep suggesting I’m an accountant. You’re the GAAPing asshole. That shit is for dullards. It’s akin to “marketing gurus”. You're cogs.

I live in Spain (I am not a tax accountant: I was terrible at it in law school). I grew up in Montana. I went to Penn and then Michigan Law. I came to Madrid (Argüelles) to be with my girlfriend (wife and mother of my child). That you can’t conceive the trajectory I’ve had isn’t my fault. After all, you were a

People didn’t get picked on in my area (NW Montana). We learned how to react to black and brown bear, mountain lions, moose, etc. We had guns, not drunk uncles like your redneck degenerates.

Tax accountant: Ohio. Tenuous grasp on the English language; delusions of grandeur. When, confronted with unfamiliar grammatical structures, attempts to gain control by throwing out pedestrian terms that he believes people equate. Forgets that most of the United States isn’t from Ohio and, shockingly, isn’t taken
