Put an eternal flame in that dumpster fire so that future generations can remember how shitty this entire thing was (the rape, the trial, Turner, Turner’s father, the sentence, Stanford U., 2018 in general. Side note: I know the rape occurred in 2015 and the trial was in 2016, but shitty behavior is everlasting.)

Really off-topic, but have you considered sending this story to Drew Magary’s Thursday Afternoon Jamboroo? I heard he’s looking for submissions since there’s no football this week. Who knows, if he picks your story, you might win an edible arrangement.

I see what you did there, but not many people outside Philadelphia are going to get this joke.

Some choice, eh? Walk-in freezer, or sauna. The windows at our hotel would only open a small crack and there was even a decal on the window telling people not to try to open them farther than that, which my friend blithely ignored, of course.

Ha, I’ll recommend this advice to a friend with whom I travel frequently. A few years ago we stayed in adjacent rooms at a hotel in New York City and the hotel had two particular rules which he violated immediately because he really likes to smoke: 1. don’t smoke in the rooms; and 2. don’t open the window past the…

Ugh, I remember that Homicide episode when it ran. I don’t know if the story was plausible, and I don’t ever want to find out.

Wait, you know Fergie? We should be friends. I live a couple of blocks from both Monk’s Cafe and Fergie’s Pub. A few years ago my cousin flew from Denver to Philadelphia for business and we walked to Monk’s because she can’t find Russian River Brewing in Colorado even though she knows the brewers. We celebrated our…

I usually don’t stack the plates but if I’m in a booth or at a large round table I will put them nearer the edge to make them more accessible to the server. My exception to stacking is at a dim sum restaurant - it’s OK to stack plates largest to smallest and as in your example, the staff are typically alert and…

I received a bag of Werther’s in my Christmas stocking and I just realized on January 18 via your comment that I’ve been shaded. Someone in my house is playing the long game.

Agreed. It was so good, with comments and stories by the Horde from all walks of life, and it benefited from moderation by TNC and his volunteer moderators. But I imagine that was so much work. Like Ron Swanson of Westeros said, you could not play games. If you argued in bad faith, talked out your ass, or committed…

It’s funny/not funny that NYPD’s Special Victims Unit is involved, because Law & Order: SVU did an episode a couple years ago that was not NOT about him: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5566126/?ref_=ttep_ep20

C’mon, Moore deserves to take his seat... in a courtroom facing various criminal charges. In fact, he can have several seats.

Good try, but you should save your dislike for Other. If farmers would stop planting Other in the ground, we wouldn’t have this problem, and beef would be cheaper.

As someone whose evening commute to Center City Philadelphia is routinely prolonged on game nights, I can confirm that the stadiums located near the Broad Street exit off Interstate 95 or a short trip from PHL airport are easier to get to than a stadium in the middle of nowhere. Gruden was right about a couple of…

That’s fair. Kim has had a rough life but I’m glad she’s off the show. Her shit-stirring just seemed pointless and cruel.

As crazy as Rinna is, wouldn’t she be likely to react like that if the rumor is completely false? I don’t know what is true or untrue about Hamlin and Rinna’s relationship, but the underhanded way Kim Richards brought this up was gross: “I’m not talking about that huge thing that you don’t want to talk about, I’m just…

I had the same question, but if you watch the whole clip (not just the GIF) you can see the bat lying on the ground between home plate and first (at about 0:12), as Mercedes begins his slow parade around the bases. If you just watched the bat flip only, it looked like he sent it into orbit and it didn’t come down.

In that GMA segment, Robin’s face is so calm and unbothered by anything Omarosa has to say. The thing is, only one of these women has a job and is esteemed by millions of morning TV viewers.

With respect, this is probably the wrong lesson to take away from this election. Roy Moore was a historically bad candidate with a lot of baggage. And Democrats shouldn’t ignore “financially insecure white voters”, just the proudly racist ones.

I compared it to a frat party. My niece, who was home from college, looked around and said “this isn’t a frat party,” and she was right; frat parties are classier. Weirdly, there were six in our group and I was the only one who wanted to leave. Have you had the pleasure of karaoke night?
