The great Mike Royko claimed that he had an absolutely infallible system for picking the world Series winner- the team with the most ex-Cubs on it would always lose. Perhaps some baseball statistics maven could ascertain the truth of that; me, I wouldn't go against Mike on that. Whatever is wrong with the Cubs is…

Greasy is the word.

Bob Ross- The Wrath of God.

?

The Hall of Fame game cancelled by field conditions- while Olympic Rowing events continue on a river of human shit. When did Americans stop being tough?

Has D'Sousa fed Wu's pigs lately?

I find it hard to believe that "Atlas Shrugged: Part III" is on the list. Surely, there's some nasty little fruitcake Objectivist out there willing to give it 100%+. Maybe Paul Ryan, if he isn't too busy starving grandmothers.

Thank you, Mr Bill! Were it not for you and your Bushmaster, Elizabeth II could just wander on in, setting her corgis on people, like Ramsay Bolton's hounds!

Hey, are you slumming, too? Personally, I get sick of David Frum and Peter Beinart after a while, need to stroke my pop culture lobe a bit. Also nice that any RW trolls that turn up here seem all confused, like a duck hit in the head with a canoe paddle.

I miss "Dog-n-Suds", just for the name.

Another one that I wish Death would have spared over for another year.

A girl always has a roommate named "Mary".

Ya wanna know how old I am? I read "Dying of the Light" when it came out in hardcover. Sad. :( Oh, well. Growing up, I ate science-fiction/fantasy like it was candy, drifted away from it after cyberpunk broke (seemed to me that the field had become moribund- not strictly true, but don't get me started). So, I've got a…

Look, if it's so obvious that it occurred to me, independently, maybe it'll just dawn on one of the characters as well (Poderick slapped his forehead- "Well, DUH, Brienne, why didn't we see this earlier?"), or Jon casually walks naked out of the bonfire that Ramsay tossed him into- whoops, nobody in Westeros saw…

To give you an idea of how casual a viewer I am, I had no idea of that. It must be even more obvious than I thought it was- maybe I shouldn't even say that, lest the virulent dissenters howl and pounce.. Anyhow, good morning.

Ah, what the hey, serves me right- less than casual viewer stumbling into a conversation of serious fans, blurting out the first thing that came into my head- of course it would be something that people are already arguing about. Frankly, I just feel fortunate that I didn't stagger into the "Emilia Clarke boob double"…

I am humbled and shamed by your superior Knowledge of Game of Thrones. I'd grovel if I gave a sheet. Have a nice day.

It'll make for a great reveal. By the way, love your handle.
