I was about to say Mos Def then I realized Black on Both Sides is almost 20 years old. Fuckin a

Politically there is potential for weirdness here if he listens to the billionaires. The elite class, unless invested in one of the major manufacturers, doesn’t give a fuck about guns. They don’t have the attachment/fear that drives the used car dealer in bumfuck Georgia to own 30 ARs.

Of the three culture war…

Still trying to get someone to publish my “25 Shades: Pull My Hair Near The Root Not The End, Asshole” spinoff.

Kylie ad is dumber, MLK ad is more offensive on every conceivable level.

They weren’t (mostly) just standing there kicking each other in the nuts. They were doing stunts, pranks and to some extent physical performance art.

At least until Jackass 2 - there was a meaner edge there and the gross out humor of drinking a liter of horse cum seemed more Fear Factor than Jackass.

I’ve had to explain to a ridiculous number of people over the last few years that it was “rape rape” (in Whoopi Goldberg’s terms). Polanski’s friends and the industry have done an amazing job over the last 40 years of defining the event in the public eye.

All this time I expected Drew to basically have a Minnesota version of Bill Simmons’s voice.

No kidding.

You can know a fact without grokking it. Knowing Fidel was old as shit he was so present politically until recently it’s still hard to wrap my head around him having a son who’d be our third oldest President.

Even knowing how old Fidel was it’s still hard to grasp that he had a son a 68-year old son.

This is what American cops are taught now - CONTROL THE SITCHIATION. Escalate until the subject bends to your will, one way or another. Always pretend you’re rolling down Main Street in Fallujah. Doesn’t matter that being a cop isn’t that dangerous and America is statistically safer than pretty much any other time in…

Dude with the gun is armed with a 12-gauge with birdshot - if that’s his armament he’s out and I’m not going to have to plan around him. Eagles are a requirement, nothing else on this list can kill them. I’ll take the rats as backup if they’re able to swarm.

The Mavs have been so horrible lately I didn’t even know they’d continued the fine tradition of bringing in big foreign stiffs.

How many more years of grace does Cuban get for 2011?

The negotiating amenities thing makes a certain level of sense - with baseball salaries generally so excellent, the grind of the schedule might seem like something worth negotiating to ease.

I prefer Crisco Pigs.

Anything happen to her girls who are laughing along with her but not quite bold/stupid enough to say it themselves?

I’m not sure I’ve ever read an entire piece at The Ringer - partially because of the layout, partially because the feel is much more “Bill Simmons’s toy” than Grantland was.

Semi-seriously, I knew a relationship was over when we no longer spontanteously went down on each other when playing GTA 4. It had been a joking thing from the beginning about “yeah, try to concentrate on the mission while I do this” and the lack of it was evidence of the missing spontaneity and evaporating…

PCP is technically a medication.

If you have a cat that goes outdoors and you care about birds, you can put a humiliating bell on your cat and stop it from being able to hunt effectively, too.
