To be fair though, America was really pissed that we were apparently letting the Iranians get away with holding our embassy staff hostage.

I hope she is able to get the Republicans to recognize the basic equal humanity of LGBTQ persons. I doubt she will, given that they seem to exist to be the party of bigotry, but hey, good luck.

Big Lebowski, or else NHL 95.

You know, a high quality bong is worth a decent amount of money. I'm not rich, and I don't smoke pot any more, but back when I did, for the right bong, I think it'd be reasonable to drop a hundred. And that was like 15 years ago, so maybe this isn't that bad?

I mean, ephebophilia has been at least somewhat of a social norm for most of human existence. It's one that we don't really hold truck with now, and that's a good thing.

"Because art exists independent of the artist, dear."

Yeah, that was my question last year. I basically compared Brandon to a Westerosi George W. Bush, just fucking things up because he's bored and stupid.

OK, so apparently one of the Lannister redshirts is famous? Is Ed Sheeran a name a dude in his mid 40's should be aware of, or is this one of those youth things I can safely ignore?

Give me ten Lucies rather than one more anodyne bullshit Marvel movie where the same characters experience the same crises and learn the same lessons on their way to triumphing over the same goddamn threat. I love an ambitious, entertaining clusterfuck even if it doesn't really work because goddammit, it took a shot.

I mean basically, he's an auteur whose signature is "fun, if you can stand the dumb".

Nonsense, you have…

It is almost outrageously eclectic.

As a guy who lived in Minneapolis in the 90's and smoked a shitload of pot, the answer is the Big Wu. But for a band that people outside of Minnesota have heard of, I saw an awful lot of Phish and the ABB.

1. Fuck you for mentioning Garvey and triggering my 1984 PTSD, even if the Tigers would have set fire to the Cubs in the World Series as they did the Padres.

Also possibly the best fielding first baseman of the past 40 years. I mean, granted, fielding's not a huge part of a first baseman's CV, but it is worth mentioning when a guy is fucking awesome at it.

Ah, the St. Louis Cardinal path to the Series. Can't say I'm a particular fan of it.

Frank Thomas's number. Which hey, Big Hurt was awesome.

Yuuuup. A decade ago, I'd be throwing shit. Now I just remember Kane dancing on the ice after hitting the lower left corner of net in OT in game 6 back in 2010.

There's a lot more Cardinals greats. We can't be so fastidious about filling out our ranks.

I'd like to see this year's Cubs round into a bit better shape before wanting to see that. Get back to me when the Cubs have a leadoff hitter getting on base 38% of the time.
