If you told me there was a Blah, Pennsylvania, with a population of 75,000 people, I would believe you without even bothering to Google it.

Just the tips, though. Just the tips.

It's too bad, because if they would have, then Paul F. Tompkins would have made money off the show too. The perfect hate-watching show, plus an awesome comedian gets a cut. It was obviously too good for this world.

I just assume that every doctor show is Dr. Face-Hands trying to get back in the game, and so that's why these shows are constantly being cancelled.

Yep, sounds accurate for an engineering school. Might make it east of city center at some point in the next two years. Not likely, though, based on what I've seen of the bus system outside (and inside) of campus.

Nah, I'm at GT, but since I've only been here two weeks and I've been busy with school, I haven't gotten out much. I'm definitely not the best source for stuff to do in Atlanta yet.

Heaven or hell, you'll connect through Atlanta. Guaranteed.

Just moved here for grad school. No, you aren't.

Wrap a wet paper towel around the outside of the beer bottle/can and put it in the freezer for ~10 minutes. Alternatively, and most expensively, you can flash-cool a beer with a blast from a fire extinguisher.

That's a fair point, and feudalism combined with the nobility ingratiating themselves with the monarch meant that there was no real way for another type of political system to exist during that time. So the monarch could commit atrocities at will with almost no domestic power checking. It was the dominant political…

Call me when they can get the 55 gallon drums of lube through Atlanta traffic to my apartment in under an hour. Then, I'll be impressed.

The fact that I felt shame just relating to this is…. not the most positive sign for my liver.

Yeah, my first thought was absolute monarchy, and it did work for a ridiculously long time in Europe (even that kind of undersells it). But most of those regimes were also based on divine right, and once that aura got removed around the time of the Enlightenment, they failed just as much as any other absolute…

I agree with you, but it brings to mind a question: would the purest form of any political ideology work in practice? It seems like pure democracy would be the best among "pure" options, assuming that human nature is still a thing in this thought experiment.

Eh, it's totally pointless to know past a certain extent (if you don't know what continent a country is in, you need to learn more), but if you're a history nerd, you have to know these locations or reading/listening to information about battles and movements will make no sense. That said, being a history nerd…

There's a Hair Jordan on Jordan St. in Bloomington, Indiana. That's honestly the best I can remember. The Bob & Tom show had a great time with fake ads for these kinds of businesses back in the early 90s.

You know, morons.

I definitely see that happening unless something catastrophic just sinks the team entirely. They have a few places they could shore up, but it sort of just feels like an inevitability that the Cardinals' ludicrous consistency will falter and the Cubs will just keep getting better over the next few years. The Pirates…

No one was worried about the Cubs when the season started because of all their young players. That's still somewhat the case, just because the organization as a whole isn't in a hurry to win it all. Even if they don't go all the way this year, they'll likely be a favorite for at least the next half-decade.

Well, he felt that his given name, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, was just a bit too on the nose.
