I think he had Lynch go down, as to make last year’s Super Bowl play call to look like less of a bad decision. You’d have to be some kind of conspiracy theorist to believe that, though.

This is why African-American is a very unhelpful term.

I think a hetero couple would have a better case- now everyone knows the kid isn’t biologically the Dad’s. But everyone probably had a pretty good idea going in that there was a sperm bank involved, so who cares?

I also have a platonic female friend who was a reoccurring character in my dreams. There was no patter, but for 5-6 years, our only correspondence was me telling her about what she did in my dreams. That has also gone away.

1. I have often kept aquariums or terrariums. In my dreams, either the frogs start reproducing at an alarming rate and escape all over the house, or the fish swim out of the water and through the air. Either way I end up with aquatic critter throughout my house that I need to chase down.

Jacko On His Backo.

Well, it wasn’t for rape, so that’s refreshing at least.

Strange you’d bring up music as a downside of 1968-1975, when that would be the only reason *to go back* to that era. Plus, Styx, while technically existing in the early 70’s, didn’t take off until the mid-late 70’s, so you aren’t even right about what people listened to back then.

I guess they don’t know about nanobubbles over in Washington.

Maybe I don’t really understand the concept of “rape culture” but I don’t really see how it applies here at all. Society doesn’t look too kindly on child rapists.

Everybody knows Usain Bolt is black. This is not news.

I’m having a hard time with the fact that this isn’t apparent to everyone.

Whoever put together this photo-collage forgot to remove the arm growing out of the neck of the woman in the pink hat.

You make a good point.

Naw. They show underwear in TV and movies all the time, but chest hair for some reason vorboten.

I am very confused as to what the masses feel I should be wearing, but as a hirsute individual, I mostly wear crew neck undershirts to keep the chest lettuce under wraps.

I know the point is how terribly degrading the whole thing was, but geez, pretty dangerous, too. Let’s house an undersized man with an unhappy great ape? That Verner dude was lucky he was only indirectly responsible for his death.

So, uh, nobody’s going to make a Welcome Back, Kotter reference?

I was watching live. At no point did I, nor the announcers think that the ball hit his face.

You’re battling the perception that NFL players get arrested a lot. I’m not arguing with your numbers, but from my viewpoint and the viewpoints of many others, there’s no way for those stats to change that perception. I’m slicing thin because that’s the reality that color my individual perception.
