Better yet, someone in Cricket had a record 256 of something. What was that thing?

“who doesn’t love The Fifth Element”

Ha. She shows up on @Midnight now and again too, and she’s pretty funny.

Fairly sure that was Scotty Nguyen, not Men the Cheating Douchebag Master.

Yep, this. First of all Rounders preceded the boom by several years. Hole-cams making the game watchable + Moneymaker’s great cinderella story + online poker blowing up in a legal-gray-area-but-still-easy-to-do space all kind of coalesced into a big self-reinforcing surge.

Bracy was entirely on the moral high ground until he for some reason decided to drop right down to Hernandez’s level by calling him fat. Talking to the dealer or the floor is absolutely the right thing to do.

And on top of the marginal value of a dollar being less than the marginal value of being part of what has a chance to go down as a historically great dynasty, being part of that team could possibly, in the end, even be worth more financially to Durant than the extra 9 million with advertising, sponsorship, etc., etc.

OK it’s not just me then.

Well I think they’d both do pretty well in an “actual fight”, but not against a world class “actual fighter”, whatever that is (maybe an armed forces person who specialized in hand-to-hand combat?)

I’m just not clear on why this has anything to do with MMA “legitimacy”. Of course McGregor is going to get wrecked, just as surely as Mayweather would get wrecked if for some insane reason he decided to fight McGregor (or any other top level MMA competition) in an MMA match. You could take a great NFL running back…

We choose to make the Mambo #5 pun. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

I don’t think pre-episode 4 Han was murdering babies evil, but yeah, I could see a good story where he starts by being idealistic and cocky and then gets his heart ripped out in some way or another (roughly parallel to Mal in Firefly) and ends up in a place where he doesn’t trust anyone and doesn’t expect anyone to…

Eh, reading and reading out loud are two different skills. I did college radio for a while and while I didn’t have a problem with it, I remember several people who did (and they could certainly read and speak just fine if they weren’t trying to do both at once).

Tell us the truth : are you a drunk 5-year old?

Yeah, I feel like a few boxers who weren’t quite good enough to stick could put together a stomp-style vegas show where they work these things in a synchronized choreographed way.

Though the fact that they are willing to offer diagnoses without actually having him as a patient kind of throws those conclusions into doubt (not to say he *doesn’t* suffer from any or all of these things, but offering a professional diagnosis based on TV appearances and tweets is, well, not very professional).

I saw it in college and I really enjoyed it. My friends hated it and all gave me a hard time for making them go see it. I am much more tolerant of Robin Williams than most (even when I can see the parts of his performances that bother others sometimes).

+10 murdered main characters

I don’t know how I’m the first one to star this.
