An autocorrect that I didn’t originally intend, but then decided, “actually, let’s leave it in.”

I miss Mel and Sue lots, though I think the newcomers are quite good. Not sure whey they left once GBBO went to Channel Four; Mel had cited a fear of change in format/artistic freedom, but everything I saw in Collection 5 looked just like it did during the BBC years.

Had PG13 not re-signed in OKC because of the 1st-round exit to Utah where they regularly targeted Melon in the pick and roll switches, the OKC crowd definitely would’ve booed the crap out of him.

Eat shit, Clay Bennett III!

I’ll be saying this plenty over the course of your column, but here’s the second one: “thanks for this, I learned a lot.” Tare’s one of those things that’s always talked about, but rarely explained in detail and definitely not to the depth here. So this was great!

So when I have mediocre ramen where it looks like…

Agreed. If $2 shouldn’t be a big deal to me, then why is it a big deal to the server? Especially when the tax has nothing to do with the service interaction between myself and the server?

Well I was thinking about Sunday roasts and other pub food that I’ve had during the various times I’ve spent in the UK. I know they’re an institution and I for one love scotch eggs, but pub grub in general has never really clicked with me. If I’m in Britain, I’m getting Indian food.

Thanks!  I’ve heard great things about Pinewood Social from others, but Butcher and Bee looks terrific!

Pepperfire was on my list, but I hadn’t known about the baked apples, which I love!

Can’t we gerrymander the effects of global warming and sink Florida so we don’t have to put up with this bullshit anymore?

I’ve done Hattie B’s and Prince’s before, and liked them both a lot and can handle them at the medium-setting. (Got the hot, extra hot, and mothercluckin’ hot wings from Hattie B’s and accidentally wiped my eyes while driving on I-75 and...it was a bad idea)

Was going to do Bolton’s when I drive through Nashville in a…

In that case, was that trash Nebraska’s very own Godfather’s Pizza?

Counterpoint: it’s still English food.

(I kid, mostly. It’s a very heart-warming gesture)

Rockets still need to send back players (Chriss and Knight, most likely) to make the salaries work for Butler (and Rose, if we want to run with my absurdist proposal). But those guys suck, and they represent negative value that will force Houston to give up more in terms of picks/protections.

The point of the seven 1st…

Also, for KAT: Maybe he just needs to hook up with Mary Steenburgen. I do hear she’s single now.

Since Houston also has a massive hole at backup PG (because MCW’s ROY trophy is not good at basketball), Glen Taylor should fire Thibs, and then to send Butler and Rose to Houston for all the picks and pick-swaps available with minimum protection.

It makes sense (sorta), but the real benefit of this move is D-Rose…

The Carter Jr. clip really shows why it’s so hard to play with Jabari. He’s talented offensively, but his movement/passing/decision-making is so herky-jerky and unpredictable that it’s hard for teammates to anticipate his moves and either move into positions where they can set a pick for him, or run off the ball to…

I just keep that (and my Costco card, Shell membership card, and everything that I know I can access only if I’m driving) in my car’s center armrest storage.

A lot of hot, malty tea with a bit of milk. Lance peanut butter crackers to go with it. I don’t feel like cooking or moving when I’m sick, and this works.

Though only Devlin and Phillips were investigated in the article, all three Republican judges in Harris County lost their seats to Republicans yesterday.

Yeah, this was six years before Suge Knight shook him out of a balcony, so he can’t even use that as an excuse for such a brain-rattlingly stupid answer.
