I love this. I knew the reports of “went really well” meant LaMarcus smiled and nodded politely, maybe threw in an awkward laugh, and they all took that as “yes! we got him!”

I swore I read somewhere that they got “went well” from “was polite” and “listened.”

I still don’t get the original intention c

Where do you live? Lots of good microbrews in a lot of places— nc, co, vt, or, and more (But I did like the joke!)

I see where you’re coming from, but there was still someone talking to you on the phone, putting the order together (napkins, plasticware, condiments), and interacting with you at the register. It depends on the place (predominantly dine in or take out?) but I feel like at the very least a dollar or two is warranted.…

Right? I’m surprised there aren’t more comments about that. I read this article hours ago, laughed until I cried at that line, and have been laughing every time I think of it. “Albino rage turtle” is just such an apt description.

I’ve had Prime for a while, but I recently got the Fire Stick. I really like the layout of Prime video on it, and the selection isn’t too bad. I just cancelled Netflix last month. Hulu gave me two free months when I tried to cancel that. The Criterion Collection on Hulu is pretty nice, too. But yeah, I’ve found Prime…

I don’t know, I just felt a little bad for him when he tried to hug lebron and ended up clinging to his neck while lebron pushed by him. I don’t have enough NBA knowledge to judge his coaching ability, but he’s almost too much of a doofus for me to take him seriously

I watched a bit of the fourth quarter, but Harden had one of his ridiculous flops and then I got distracted by stuff in his beard (towel lint?) and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I wished I loved to hate him but I think I just hate him.

Aw! That was probably his dream job, too.

Well, second, but depending on how that last game of the regular season played out, could have been fifth (Fourth, standings-wise I guess). And lots of other western conference teams have injuries too! (Sorry, only trying to rain on your parade because I have an almost irrational hate for the rockets.)

I know! I saw it in the moment and was distracted by the fact it even went in. In the replay it looks like he’s practically tackled. (After he got the shot off, maybe, but still. What is this, rugby?)

I turned it on at the end of the third because of the 20 point lead— I’m a sucker for the underdog, which is not working out for me so far. I had hope. And god damn.

You can watch the video, but that image really says it all. The double bird. The v-neck sweater thing, with a collared button-down underneath. The hair. The eyebrows. The expressions. And the watch! Oh, the watch.

Except poor Matthews! They showed him on the bench and he looked like he was going insane.

I don’t really know, but I think they want to give the division winners a bit of a playoff advantage but not too much of one. So by virtue of locking in 4th (5th, for all intents and purposes) they’ll play the team with the 4th best record. If it went just by record and their division win meant nothing, they would…

Central division in ’06, I think. But yeah, still pretty cool.

Spurs 2, clippers 3, rockets 5, Grizzlies 6, okc 8. Crazy, right? That’s why this game was so big for the Spurs. There was a chart called “western conference bloodbath of death” that illustrated the different outcomes.

They mentioned on ESPN that the only team to have won the championship as a six seed was the ’95 rockets, so there's that too.
