No one hates the Cubs more than I do, but christ, just let them have their fun for another day before going on seemingly pointless rants about how they may or may not end up like Boston fans. As Barry said, they get until their parade and then they can go fuck themselves (paraphrasing).

I’m really glad the Cubs won. I’m happy for the players. But man the fans are going to be insufferable after this aren’t they?

Definitely “burning bridges”. Waititi, notoriously cruel, humorless, and brutal to his cast and crew, is well-known for being virtually impossible to work with. Set reports from Thor include rumors that he regularly shouted at, belittled, and even struck Hiddleston, and that Hemsworth was hospitalized four times and…

I’m leaving the state if they make it to the World Series. Fuck these people.

But you already know his response to that question:

You weren’t by chance at Illinois State at that time, were you? They had us all gathered in the quad with the Blo-No police on a megaphone saying go back to your rooms...I may have screamed “take it to the streets” while drunk and shirtless, wielding a broom, and caused a stampede. We made it all the way to 55.

So many pastel colored shorts and Sperrys

I already got my Cubs fans friends telling me how I should root for the Cubs because “in 2005 I rooted for the White Sox” ... like I fucking asked them to do so. As long as I’m not actively rooting AGAINST the Cubs, take that and run with it.

You think Cardinal fans are bad? Wait until Cubs fans finally taste success

Curt hasn’t been this invested in a trainwreck since 38 Studios.

Yes! I agree. We mush immediately stop the use of purposeful exaggeration to highlight a specific property of an item, unless we explicitly admit to that exaggeration. I myself clicked on this link believing that Gizmodo had broken a story on lifeforms from beyond our planet before all other news outlets.

How many stars can I give?

You can’t abide by a national anthem that makes you think about the oppression of minorities? Try thinking about the 380,000 Northern soldiers who died in the Civil War primarily fighting to end the enslavement of black men, women and children more than 150 years ago.

Scouts say Reid has great quick-twitch muscle, and Lane is a natural athelete. The scouts are split on Kaepernick, some saying he athletically gifted, some believing he is a student of the game. All agree he was raised a grinder.

Marine here again. I can’t stand how conflated “the flag” has become with “the military.” I also can’t stand the knee-jerk “patriots” whose default position toward the military is genuflection, and anyone who fails to bend the knee is shunned. These are not the hallmarks of a free society.

I thought it was just a Douglas Adams thing?
