True story. I don't know if craze is the right word for it, but there was a brief nationwide explosion of all things Cajun in the mid 80s. Prior to that it was not a familiar concept outside the region. We went from zero to everyone owning a jar of fancy spice powder.

We're always optimistic. That's the nature of the curse.

Otherwise Jim Brown played for the Ravens, and that's just stupid.

That would be our dads. At middle age we're in the lower 200 range. For those below 200, assume significant coke or meth use.

There aren't many lyrics Republicans can enjoy so I think they just ignore them, or they cherry pick.

He supported the fuck out of Reagan… what?… really?… OK, never mind.

English doesn't generally capitalize nouns, only special ones like names of people or places.

The other difference I notice, comparing mine to that sliver of Sean's, is that all the girls in mine have giant 80s hair. Even though it was the early 90s. I lived in a time vortex.

For us it wasn't coordinated, we were expected to supply our own photos. Local studios all offered this service but of course you had to make an appointment and pay. As a result, you get to see a lot of people exactly as they were then, or at least how they wanted to be seen. Also as a result, a few kids got theirs…

Well, that's over. I wonder what the new era will bring.

Right but I think he was referring to the modern era. As for when that began, I would suggest the first election of Nixon. To me that's when things really started to become what they are.

Carpenter is awesome. In that video, he looks a bit like David Lo Pan.

He slapped a pregnant Catwoman!

They're working on it. Give them time.

As a local, I wonder what part of town they're going to use. This city is still very segregated and we aren't seeing much gentrification in predominantly black neighborhoods. My prediction would be somewhere around East 55th and St. Clair. LeBron once had an apartment nearby and there are some hipstery…

Points is points, I guess. Same thing may happen Sunday with Terrelle Pryor on the Browns. He's starting as a WR but is probably the #2 QB, at least for this week.

Me too. Mine are deeply embarrassing and, thankfully, impossible to find.

The Browns are trying to sign Giselle to their practice squad. Gotta get in his head somehow, and besides, she can't be that much worse than Whitehurst.

I started Edelman, halfway hoping he might get some QB stats by the end of the night.

No pressure, no diamonds.
