Are you saying you don’t want to hear Boomer Esiasson and Phil Simms discuss the intricacies of a sexual assault allegation?

Bret, invite me to dinner at your house. I will NOT call you a bedbug. I will, however, give you a swirly and bang your wife. 

Johnny Cash fucking sucks. 

Just to head off too many idiots at the pass: The “well-regulated militia” clause does not IN ANY WAY limit the right to bear arms to a militia. It only makes clear that while everyone can have guns, they can ALSO form a militia - because one of the founding fathers was certain that future lawmakers would use that as…

Written at the same time that slavery was legal, women were property, and a black-powder musket was the deadliest personal weapon available.

And in addition to the “inviting harder punches” thing, headgear limits peripheral vision, which in turn makes it harder to see some punches (especially hooks) coming.

I concurr. I’ve not boxed but did Wing Chun for 15 years, which is mostly punching. We used to fight with no headgear on for a couple of years and then in the third year all of a sudden we had head gear. First time I got hit, I thought, hey this is like Christmas, it’s not as bad as without lets up the game a bit.…

Poppycock. Are you going to tell me next that Mario is a bad plumber because he allows himself to go inside the pipes?

As a kid, I had an unnatural lust for Knorr’s Butter Flavor Fettuccini. Like, we’d have it as a side with dinner like you’re supposed to, there’d be a bunch left over (because I could only eat so much in a sitting), and I’d literally spend the rest of the night picking at the leftovers long after it was cold. It got…

Agreed. I work for a grocery delivery service and if we shop an order and the customer isn’t there to accept it when we get there (as in, the delivery time frame THEY set up), we have to take the food back to the store. Every bit of it is thrown away, never opened. It went out the door, so now it goes in the dumpster.…

Tomsula should really use a better pseudonym.

I owe you an explanation for why I’ve been away for two months

My only experiences have been absolute shit shows.

The tail and shell are edible. I’ve smoked shrimp and eaten it shell-on. Same for shrimp on a ripping hot wok. Some preparations render the entire shell pleasantly edible and downright delicious.

This play is even harder to identify because the entire offensive line seems to be either overmatched or blocking incorrectly. Everyone on that line is out of position or beaten by their man. It’s incredible. So, like, if it’s blocking for a screen—you’d never know because there is no blocking scheme materializing…

That third down play was actually a performance art piece entitled Ennui

He looks like Conor McGregor after a month at sea.

I love reading everyone’s posts! Such cool random areas of expertise.

Shipbuilding. I know entirely too much about shell-first vs. frame-first building, the beautiful history of skin-covered boats and dugout-style craft, the advent of the keel, lapstraking vs. carvel-built hulls, etc. etc. etc.
Nobody else I know gives a shit, even people who own actual boats (which I, ironically, do…
