Well, see, the NRA is not really concerned about preventing a massacre, just so long as lots of people get lots of shots off.

This is really funny, but only because I'm at a distance.  The locker room at my gym is so full of old perverts that I sometimes blow off a work-out because I don't want to deal with them (they aren't the only thing wrong with the place; they're just the capper).

"I have a kid in high school?!"

Yeah, I can see someone maybe coming up with an idea like this and not seeing what a terrible idea it is, simply because they're caught up in what they see as the fun of it.  But there were 9 mothafuckas in that picture up there who should have said that this wasn't such a great idea.  Because of, y'know, the news…

Maybe such a shoot-out wouldn't happen:

Give it time, @avclub-e463f97ca6bc46b1ba706474e108c7e1:disqus .

I wanna give you 8 "likes" for Galaga.

Depends on what you call "close."  They're about 170 miles apart.

@avclub-5bc6960dad8ab0694bb4d6ff884b0c1e:disqus , that's exactly what happened to me last summer when I went to see the Batman movie, a few weeks after the Aurora shooting.  Turns out it was just the usher, waiting to sweep up afterward, standing by the door and catching the ending to the movie for the nth time.  I…

I got told by some kind of business coach the other day that Googling was "what the older generations do, while the young people just use their apps."

Panem et circenses.

But the beer and hot dogs taste better at the stadium!  It's one of the occasions where I can relish "the sights, the sounds, and, ah yes, the smells of other men."

I'm still not clear what McCain did before 2000 that had so many liberals saying that he was great, and that if he ran for president, they'd vote for him.  As far as I can tell, the man never saw even the hint of a military action that he didn't like.  Foreign policy to him is solely about what the United States has…

So… all this cash the colleges have been grabbing will be used to bring down tuition at these (mostly) public universities, right?

That might be way less cost-effective for some.  I don't have cable, but I don't want to wait for Mad Men and Breaking Bad to come out on DVD to watch them.  So I buy the seasons on Amazon.  It's about $26 per season, but I have to wait until the day after they've first been broadcast to watch (which seems unfair to…

I always would advise cities to call the team's bluff when they threaten to move.  The Vikings pulled that shit for years, and the good people of Minnesota basically told them not to let the doorknob cut their ass as they left.  Fast-forward 15 years, and the Vikings are still playing in Minneapolis, even in the same…

He's maybe on to something.  If his properties are crucial to revitalizing downtown, and the city has identified that project as a public benefit (a claim that's bolstered by people saying that the buildings are currently holding economic development back), then maybe there's a good case to be made for city funds…

@avclub-6ca57d2774f04ac8acf3d2b10f0338f4:disqus , Oscar Praetorius probably has some thoughts on your hypothetical scenario.
