I hastily mis-read the title and thought this was going to be about The America’s Cup. Disappointed to see it’s about kickball instead.

I know that you know that there is a difference between wanting something and feeling entitled to it. Martin has claimed he’s working on the book. It has a title. It is reasonable that fans would expect it to happen at some point. This is just about wishing that point was now.

Sick chemical burn

Can I add:

He looks like he threw up in his mouth a little when he realized he was outclassed and everyone in the audience was against him.

Even at only $35 a year, the dues payable to the NRA for a sudden gun-control majority would add at least $175 million a year to their lobbying budget. And I’m pretty sure they would just invent ways to keep the “right people” in charge of how that money is spent.

Thank you for pointing this out to him. She did to him literally the same thing he insists she should have done to Milo.

While I am a person who brings a 90lb Olde English Bulldogge on a plane, I think your list is good. I think you could further distill it to two simple rules:

Holy shit is there no way to turn off or mute those auto-play ads?

I’ll hold my breath for this complaint to make a difference.

Dude what are you talking about?

But just like the crazy mall in Dubai, with the ski slopes and everything, this mall provides a place for people who live in a sometimes inhospitable climate somewhere to spend time outside of the house. It’s a mall, but it’s also like a city’s retail district - just all indoors and out of the cold.

Thanks. It’s honestly not that bad of a memory, actually. It was a stressful time, but we were young and kind of in the middle of a major global turning point. I kept my job during it, so that was good, but she lost her visa on account of the sponsoring entity no longer existing. It led us to get married in a rush so…

I just came here to say that it’s me in the header photo. I’m the guy in the grey suit hugging the blonde woman. It was taken the day Lehman went down. She was my fiancee at the time and she worked at Lehman in London, while I worked for Barclays. This photo crops up in my life about once a year, usually when people…

This had not occurred to us, Dude.

I am from Minnesota, and I am a fan of pizza. I am aware of no specific MN style pizza. I think what it takes for cities or regions to develop a signature food style is:

Dude, it was King vs. Bobby Riggs, not McEnroe. Had it been McEnroe, and people were rooting for him, that would not make them garbage. Riggs, yes.

It seems to me that some of the dumber aspects of The Grand Tour were developed as petulant swipes at the BBC, who wouldn’t let them use certain elements of their old show. The test driver can’t be a silent road-race driver, so they made him a blabbering NASCAR guy. They can’t do celebrities in a reasonably priced…

I definitely see your point, and I think you may be right. But, I’d like to propose an alternative explanation: XiXi wants none of the attention or publicity that would come with nannying for the Trumps. She could well hate Jared, Ivanka, Donald et al., but love little Arabella.

He spoke at my HS graduation. I listened to his radio show for years and have met him several times. He has always used language in a non-typical way. Hard to criticize it since he has had a life-long career as a writer.
