Once a name becomes a state, it's pretty much toast, right?

Have you ever watched a football game. There is less going on between plays during a football game. At least between pitches the ball is still live. Something could happen. In football, there will be 8 seconds of excitement followed by 40 seconds of a dead ball and people standing around. The reason football has…

Despite the huge TV contracts, television is a huge reason why baseball is second to football now. Baseball, to this day, is just as good, if not better, on the radio. Football only good on television, and then only for the past 20 years or so.

My personal conception of hell is a large white, brightly lit room with no window or doors and an old-timey radio on one wall that only gets two stations and can't be shut off. One station plays nothing but Celine Dion music, the other Barbara Streisand, and they both sync to play that god-awful duet they did. That's…

Oh, fuck that kid. I hope he loses everything.

Curiosity.

It's a family name on my fiancee's side. Surely, no one thought of naming a baby Mabel before or since a 90's era sitcom.

Mildred is terrible, but Eleanor isn't bad. I like old woman names. At least they're names.

My fiancee and I have settled on Mabel as a girl's name? Are we awful?

Locals don't hang out on Bourbon Street.

So, just being himself, then.

Does this apply to e-books too? Because now that I have a Kindle I say super-fuck e-book DRM.

Yep. I'm the worst.

This probably won't help the person who's thinking of switching, but I've banked with USAA my entire adult life, and I've almost never missed being able to walk into a branch, especially now that they've partnered with UPS stores for instant check depositing. They also reimburse me for ATM fees on the rare occasion…

Right? Why do I have to be subjected to a bunch of horrible crap I have no interest in just to get the thing I want? Get in, get out. Browsing is for antique malls.

I honestly didn't know that.

Well, she said yes, so...

I've told my fiance I will not go into the IKEA. If she wants something from IKEA, she'll figure it out online, and then we'll go directly to the warehouse and get it off the shelves. If she wants to browse the whole store, she's doing it without me.

Sorry, still dumb. You're assuming 1000% growth over 40 years, and that just ain't happening.

What about shooting zombies? They only have a taste for people.
