This is really all I could see as they were dancing....

Found the John Wick Dickweed

Pray4Mojo is the guy who likes to kick down everyone’s sand castle at the beach. This is the guy who has to be put in restraints so he doesn’t torpedo the mission. This guy is Shane (to Rick) in the ‘Walking Dead’. It is good when these people identify themselves so they can be nipped in the bud.

it’s almost like you are taking this way too seriously.

Exactly. Watching the downhill last night...if it wasn’t for Bode pointing out the little nuances of the runs and how that resulted in different times, I’d be lost. I liked it.

I agree, he’s fine. His insights into the course and the experience of being an Olympic skier have been very informative.

Yeah, he has a fantastic understanding (well duh) of the technical aspect of the event. He recognized and explained the specific dynamic issue that caused a skier fall. I enjoyed that a lot more than I would some guy sounding like a hyperventilating soccer announcer. He’s fine.

This seems like an unfair depiction. He talked at length about the differences in the lines each athlete was taking down the hill, or the techniques that could be adopted to counter the growing wind speed. He also had insight into almost every athlete’s backgrounds and past performances. You’ve chosen to ignore all…

I feel like he’s been fine?

Bode Miller’s announcing style is...subdued. We’ll go with subdued. And listening to him talk about anything other than skiing makes me question whether he has a fully functioning brain. BUT...as someone who skied regularly and well before his knees went to shit, I think he does an excellent job of breaking down what…

Oh, man. You’re already past the hard part. Infinite Jest is worth it.

The first time I read it, I plowed through it in about 4 days. I went back several years later because I had been thinking about it a lot. HOOOOOOOO doggy was that a slog. But, like you, I just picked at it a bunch and, with occasional binges when the story gets really good, got through it. I think it was even more…

Infinite Jest—and other types of “hard” lit—are kind of exceptions to this rule, in my opinion as somewhat of a professional book quitter. Nick is right to suggest breaks. It’s not just long; it’s dense and complex. Taking a break here and there is not the same as getting, say, quitting a quarter-way through a…

If you’re already that far, and you like it even though it’s difficult, I’d say keep taking breaks and coming back as you please. But at the end, you might be confused, even angry. At that point, read this convincing theory about the ending.

How the fucking fuck did you get “Don’t try and put that on the chef, that’s entirely on her.” from “But we never say anything because she knows the risks”?

A: the kid wasn’t being a douche, he was being 5.

B: the host didn’t say “man that kid was being annoying”, he called him “an annoying little piss ant”. Are you a parent? Like, if some asshole called your pre-school aged child“a little fuck” or some variant of that and you shrugged it off as nothing, you’re an…

Fair enough. Convict is a legal term and thus not appropriate here. But we’re still labelling and stigmatising people, and quite seriously at that.

The last full marathon I did, I ended up running/walking miles 23-25 with a husband/wife. You know how you just kind of fall in with people toward the end. Every time someone shouted out “You’re almost there!” the woman shouted back “I will fucking murder you!”

You left out the music. The main theme is on my running playlist. It is a perfect “I’m 11 miles in to this half-marathon and I’m going to die” song.

The only thing in Superman III I am here for is him flicking peanuts at the liquor bottles. That still cracks me up.

Lastly, toward the end... If you’re planning on making…

I watched this a couple years ago with my then 8 year old daughter, who knew nothing at all about Superman. So she was wondering why we were spending so much time with this nerdy glasses guy. It wasn’t until the helicopter scene, and he pulls his suit open to reveal the S, that she realized he was Superman. It blew…
