I think I may have misinterpreted her comments about being confronted with the smell of meat and having some issue with people commenting on its pleasant smell. I still find that bizarre but I think you're right that the main thrust is directed to people who are in fact assholes about it. The initial setup just…

I guess when I hear "meat culture" and complaints about the smell of meat and people commenting on how it smells good, I imagine more is being referred to than douchebags being douchbeags about grilling. If she had said that a lot of men are dicks about grilling big pieces of meat and that that in particular folded…

Ok this is just too much. I have total respect for vegetarians and vegans and don't look down on them at all. I go stretches where I eat a vegetarian diet. I'm not totally opposed to the idea of working my way toward veganism. But you're sounding just a little insane.

There are 162 (162!) games in a season.

I don't think you know enough to know that with any certainty. I certainly don't.

And as I hope I implied, "lol trans people" is not ever funny on any level.

I would not concede that it's "lunacy" necessarily (as a cis white male I don't feel terribly great about lecturing others about gender) but anyway, the point of the joke was "lol trans people," and that's just really lowest common denominator frat boy bro shit that I thought Drew was moving away from. So I found it…

I really like your candor, man, and I'm pulling for good things to happen to you every weekend now. Good luck.

And what invented pronouns are you talking about?

Your "Fuck off" was way more chill than my "what the hell," you're totally right.

Except... it wasn't funny at all? Or are you one of those anti-political correctness crusaders who thinks you have the right to be an insensitive idiot asshole without any repercussions?

If you can't handle someone saying "I have to use the bathroom," (I obviously wasn't saying the guy should have shouted out "OH BOY DO I HAVE TO SHIT REAL BAD OR WHAT") then I dunno what to tell you, but the other relevant factor that led to my reaction was that he made up a story after the fact, and presumably didn't…

I try to fart when my partner is far away so that I can then warn him not to come near if it's bad. Seems to work pretty well, as I wouldn't feel very good about subjecting anyone to what comes out of me the morning after a falafel feast or something.

So that guy is engaged but can't tell his fiancee he needs to take a shit?

"(or HIMYM, which also doubles as a greeting for a transgendered parent)"

Actually, a comma wouldn't be grammatically correct. So it's just an issue with word choice. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!)

I don't know how I missed this yesterday. Also don't know how my boss didn't hear me stifling cackles for the last twenty minutes.

Sure. I stay away from Upworthy and the worst HuffPo headlines because I don't want to experience that regret (maybe I'm just being overly principled or petty but I don't like feeling like I've been tricked into reading something). But, I don't believe any of the Gawker blogs do this. Wonkette doesn't do it. Salon…

So because some Deadspin commenters use the term inappropriately, it has no meaning? I think we can just stop at pointing out that some Deadspin commenters use it inappropriately.

Margarita beat gin?
