I think you mean Lawrence Krauss, not “Lauren Kraus.”

Lauren Kraus, Geoff Marcy and now, Tyson. Astrophysicists tend to be nerds that go googly eyed when they get some power over women. Einstein, Richard Feynman and even Stephen Hawking were known sexual harassers too.

Yeah. Just -- wut?

he kept a list of overweight actresses on his phone to prove that women aren’t inhibited by portrayals in the media when it comes to health and fitness

Well actually, celebrity scientists can be assholes along with being annoying.

Every time I see McCarthy I’m reminded of the cartoon on the bags of “beaver droppings” (Canadian maple candy)

Read this last night. It is a pretty good piece. I actually found Ted Thompson related bits more illuminating. Related more to me from a corporate culture perspective.

Well, McCarthy is not a good play caller and as a result of calling the plays, he manages to piss away a couple timeouts and generally do a poor job of managing other head coaching duties.

Exactly. It’s borderline professional malpractice how the Packers wasted an ATG’s prime on substandard coaching. McCarthy should have been fired 5 years ago.  

So basically, he’s having trouble figuring out which shitty plays to call because his all-time great QB keeps calling better ones on the field? That’s not alpha-male, that’s just stupid.

That’s an editing error on my end. Copy and paste mistake while I was shifting paragraphs. 

Nah, fuck that. Watching a mom/dad spend the entire meal prodding their phone while their child stares longingly at the parent phone is disgusting.

There is nothing sadder than seeing a family out to dinner with Mom and Dad typing away at work emails, teenage Sally updating her Instagram feed, and little Tommy “Attention Deficit Disorder...let’s go ride our bikes” watching some YouTube video posted by some creepy guy of himself playing GTA V as Spider Man (https:/…

Guess I have to go back now. 

I am lucky in that my best sandwich isn’t a vacation-only affair. I can get there from my house in fifteen minutes.

Yeah pickles were a nickel.and kept in big wooden barrels at my corner Jewish grocery store. They even gave regular customers credit if you were between paydays and didn’t have any money. Different time

That sounds more like the 50's prices my father talked about. 50¢ for pickles or a soda sounds like 1990's prices.  I was paying 35¢ for a can of Coke in Alabama as late as 1993.

This is where I hear the voice of my late dad, and old New York Jew, explaining the difference between overpriced and expensive. “This sandwich,” he is saying in my head, “is not overpriced. It’s expensive. They cure that meat themselves. That’s real rye bread. You get what a pound? It’s an art. You’re paying for…

In 1958 I use to get two slices of pizza and a Pepsi for 50 cents.

The trick with Katz is to go late at night, since it’s open til 2:45 am on Thursdays and basically 24 hrs from Friday to Sunday.
