I read a few articles after seeing your original comment, sounds like it’s a good thing Timberlawn is closing. Little too much rape and suicide going on there. It’s goddamn shameful how we treat (or more accurately, don’t treat) mental health in this country.

But this is, quite literally, a blog. Maybe not a personal blog but it’s also certainly not a professional sports media outlet in the way you seem to be implying.

“Video rights for the Olympics are, uh, frustrating...”

Wow, Timberlawn is closing, huh? I had some high school acquaintances who would weekend there occasionally. I kind of hope the next owners keep the property intact.

You know I consider my BS detector to have a very sensitive threshold, but the first time I got one of the IRS calls a couple years ago it caught me off guard. I hadn’t heard about this particular scam yet and I’d settled a small amount to the real IRS a year or two prior. Yeah the automated message sounded kind of…

I sometimes have long 6+ hour drives for work. Got an IRS scam call during one recently and kept the guy on the phone for about 40 minutes, went so far as to act like I was interacting with a western union agent before he started to catch on. That’s 40 minutes of real calls he didn’t get to make so I feel like I’ve…

I literally had identical shoulder surgeries, one on each shoulder, one year apart. One without insurance, one with.

It’s been a secret wish of mine since the day Disney bought SW that they completely remake the prequels, even as far as naming them Episode(s) I, II, III. Those core story arcs that Lucas et al created would make amazing movies in the right hands, including the political stuff.

Thank you. THANK you. Gravity was advertised as a “real” space movie and I was excited as hell to see it. The very first goddamn scene has George Clooney doing loop the loops around the space shuttle or whatever, with an eventual crescendo of Sandra Bullock WALL-E-ing between space stations with a fire extinguisher…

Same. I really wasn’t impressed by CG Rachel at all. She had that strange soft focus fuzzy/glowy look in a movie that wasn’t soft focus, not to mention the stilted looking facial movements common to all CG humans.

How did we both end up here today? This article is two and a half years old!

That’s fine. We all have to deal with the prequels in our own ways and the author of that article has picked a reasonable explanation for the canon existence of a Force bacterial infection. It works, I guess, whatever comfort it brings.

USA? Ha, no. There is exactly a 0% chance of the USA going to Mars.

Personally I’m more surprised you manage only 20k a year in DFW. When I lived there my low year was just over 25k, high year was 38k. It is simply mind boggling how many miles are required for one to exist in DFW, and broadly, Texas.

Always nice to see a shoutout to WCCW. I grew up going to those matches with my father at the Sportatorium. That place was filthy, shoddy, dangerous, gross and kind of scary... and I loved seeing matches there!!

I just listened to that Stern interview. It’s brutal. You can hear Takei hearing himself admitting to some pretty awful stuff. He’s so uncomfortable and caught off guard and Howard and Robin are literally like, ‘what the fuck are you telling us, dude!’

Used to be in the g-butter and pepperoncini business. (Technically I believe they are friggitellos.) Anyway, their goddamn peppers haven’t been any good for years now either. They’re all small, dry as fuck and tasteless now. I mean, how hard is it to source decent peppers?!

I’ve heard a few first hand and a lot of second hand stories about Singer and young boys. I’m honestly really surprised that nobody has come forward yet.

Von Neumann probes. That’s what happens.

You shouldn’t trust me, that’d be ridiculous. I responded to your random internet comment because I drank too much wine and stayed up way later than I should have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
