Pegboard, corkboard, huge gobs of sticky putty. You get the idea.

I got a car loan with no credit score and a pretty measly downpayment at an 8% rate. While that seems high, given the fast amortization and the fact that the loan was about $11,500, the difference in payment between an 8% rate and a more “prime” rate wasn’t all that much.

Yes, well, unless I give up more ... energetic ... aspects of uh ... other activities ... my wife will know that this isn’t true. I’m not quite prepared to give those things up in exchange for cork board in the kitchen.

Here’s how I imagine this conversation going with my wife:

Is rich in your book “anyone who has more money than me”?

I think the “everyman” nature of Tecate is important to maintaining the illusion that your carne asada is not pretentious carne asada, but before the awful “Most Interesting Man In the World” commercials, Dos Equis was pretty everyman-esque, so the Amber version might work.

If we contemplate tactfulness on the whole, instead of in the narrow portion of it that has to do with not probing where probing isn’t wanted, we might also conclude that having bizarrely strong positions on trivial things, such as, I dunno, adults drinking milk, could be seen as pretty tactless.

To me, the best way to do cheap steak is with a very simple carne asada recipe on a skirt steak.

It’s not that my wife doesn’t recognize that these are smart sentiments, it’s that she’s too paranoid something important will get thrown out / burned to let me go through everything myself, which would be a more cursory review of everything before tossing it.

So a bunch of old, worn out scrubs left?

I think it’s a lot of things besides just those injuries. I think it was the media’s reaction to the injuries, specifically that they would be so obnoxious as to count any team out that has Lebron James that isn’t going up against an all time great franchise. I think it’s the MVP voting, and I think it’s the constant…

True, but the way in which they are beating an offensive powerhouse very much looks like the ‘04 Pistons.

If the Cavs win this series, the Hall of Fame should probably just start working on a 100-foot-high LeBron James statue that breathes fire.

I dunno about that. From what I’ve read, it’s really easy to run micro-breweries into the ground, even if you are selling a decent number of bottles.

I don’t think it’s irrelevent to include that at all. It should put the problems of frats in perspective, which is to say, of all the behavioral problems of college students, the way frats are organized might in fact be a very, very small part of the problem.

Yes, it is unreasonable to set your goalposts at zero dead people, because these are 19-20 year old students who are for the first time in most of their lives’, completely able to decide for themselves what their limits are. Invariably, some of them will overestimate those limits and wind up injured and even dead.

This is another one of those whew moments. Seeing the previews for this, I was really, really nervous that this was going to be awful. As glad as I am to see McCarthy on top, I’m also somewhat equally relieved to see Statham willing to participate in a movie lampooning the kind of movie that is his bread and butter.…

George’s constant foibles while trying to navigate his relationship with her actually evolved George & Jerry’s constant scheming about women quite a bit I thought. Also, h/t to to Fighting Polish elsewhere for pointing out Jason Alexander’s more lengthy post.

Well, that was actually pretty sweet. Kudos to Jason Alexander.

Is the right answer here “both”?
