You’re absolutely right — I completely got tripped up by the double-negative!

Thanks for the correction! We don’t wanna fool any of these MARKS out here!

(...or do we??)

Haha, you’re right!!

I’m in my mid-30s and my brain is clearly aging. Ugh, these double-negatives catch me quicker then they used to. I think I was just so excited to see wrestling/carny parlance in an article that I jumped straight to the comment section.

But yes, I stand VERY MUCH corrected: saying “we’re not…

A “work” as opposed to a “shoot”.

This is carny talk (which in this day and age, has evolved to become pro-wrestling talk). A “work” is something that is planned or scripted beforehand, yet the audience doesn’t know it’s been planned as it’s happening in real time. A “shoot”, on the other hand, is something that…

Pissed me off a little, too. That game was hilarious and unfairly underrated for being the sophomore entry after Maniac Mansion!

Also disrespectful to not include it’s full title, “...and the Alien Mindbenders”.

Get it right, People!

Also, sometimes “feminist icons” try and hold swanky songwriting retreats at plantations, where you can have cocktails, make music, attend workshops, and “otherwise get suntans” during 3 days and 4 nights of “mind-expanding fun”.

At a plantation.

You horrible man.

[*looks around nervously, recommends post*]

OH HELL YEAH. One of the few games I never let anyone borrow because it was too precious to part with and I couldn’t risk a “friend” conveniently forgetting to bring it into to school to return when asked because it was just too damn good.

Elect THIS GAME into the HoF!

Mark Jackson’s Brooklyn born and raised, my friend. Played high school basketball in BK and collegiate hoops at St. John’s in Queens.

Please leave Philly out of this. We get enough flak already.

Same thing happened to me. Very embarrassing; but I realized quickly — after expressing my complete thanks and embarrassment — they’re honestly just happy (relieved) you didn’t die on them, and they don’t begrudge you for it.

Now, whether that sentiment is to make YOU feel better or to make THEM feel better is a much…

I know I’d totally seen this before, but had somehow forgotten about it until now. What a trooper.

But how does no one make the executive decision to just cut it back to the station so she could receive basic medical attention?

Also, I’d TOTALLY do what she did and try to act like nothing happened if I woke up with a…

Jesus, Abigail Fisher. THAT horrible person.

It’s always mildly fascinating to me when awful people have notably awful faces that conveniently match their awful insides.

It’s like a “chicken or the egg” situation to me: Were you originally born a horrible human, or did you just reactively become one out of despair when…

“knees creakier than Rey Mysterio”

Why do I get the sinking feeling that you’ve got some deep-seated personal issues with Rey that remain somehow unresolved?

“Starfish and Coffee” has grown on me in recent years. (Jeez, the whole Sign o’ the Times double album — which I didn’t appreciate on first listen — has grown on me):

I mean, I was halfway-serious suggesting that anyone in Wu besides Ghost could seriously stand in an argument against Nas’ legacy.

Rae’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... is probably the best Wu record bar none, but the album also features Ghost prominently (and even has Nas guest-dropping one of the best verses on the entire…

“but even Nas is pretty mediocre in comparison to pretty much every member Ghostface (and perhaps Raekwon and GZA) of the Wu....”

Had to fix that for you.

Come on, man; don’t make us post U-God and Masta Killa verses.

Hahaha THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME

And if the above video is too long (or has too much Hitchens for your taste), Penn & Teller provided their own abbreviated (and entertaining) take on Theresa back on their old Showtime documentary series Bullsh*t!:

This aired on Channel 4 in Britain back in the early 90s. It’s worth the 25 minute watch if you had no idea of her troubling legacy, including her publicly praising and accepting donations from autocrats like ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier and investment fraudsters like Charles Keating, and then not using the monies to improve…

Haha

Yeah, that “AW!” got me, too.

Such fierce disappointment at the bird for being so dumb to immediately off itself in such a ridiculous way three seconds into freedom. Great absurdist comedy; you couldn’t have staged the whole thing better.
