If I could answer law school exam questions like this when I was in law school, I’d probably have gotten better grades in law school. Alas, I’d say “You get one free bite, unless you know your yard is often used as a shortcut by kids. If your dog has charged at kids previously, and then bites someone using your yard

Caliendo nails the voices AND the speech mannerisms, then runs with it to a meta level with his SW geekdom. His Shefter is amazing. He’s channeling these goons.

As I was reading this on the train ride home, I had a moment where I just felt a deep sense of gratitude that deadspin exists, precisely for articles like this. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Myles Jack’s injury was probably the main thing that imperiled UCLA’s season. They had a decent shot at a playoff spot (Jim Mora notwithstanding), but only if Myles stayed healthy. He’s a hugely disruptive force on defense, like Anthony Barr, because he can go sideline to sideline. When you don’t have to worry about

Yet it was still that first passage of play, those three goals bearing the indelible marks of Sánchez’s and Özil’s world-class abilities, that had for the first time convinced anyone watching that these might not be the same old Gunners we’ve seen for a decade .

As an Arsenal supporter, I concur. When I looked up the day's UCL scores, I was surprised at some of the "upsets," but not this one. This one I saw coming before the day even started.

This sort of sums up Arsenal's options, in general, in every situation.

And before this, it was the Washingtonian, a yuppie society mag for DC, that did a lengthy profile on Hera’s relationship with Joaquin Rams and how it led to her son’s death. So basically a magazine that is mostly known for “best places to brunch” lists and the website known for being the world’s foremost purveyor of

Is this pronounced "alfa-whores?" PREMIUM!

I’m not disagree with that assessment, but for me Larry’s early performance in the streets of Paris set the tone for how I view his skills. He was...”elegant” in his driving. He was not maybe the best combat driver (as you noted he was poor at ramming/pitting), but he did have more technical expertise and apparently

Larry was a noticeably more skilled driver, albeit with a better car. Not that the other characters weren't also good drivers, but Larry was clearly a pro, before he got his throat slashed that is.

Mourinho’s just taking the Sir Alex way to the next level. This is (thus far) the only proven way to maintain consistent managerial success in the EPL/BPL. Mind games, 24/7. Wenger is “PWNED” by Mourinho and has been for years. So why do so many people (esp. Billy Haisley) still insist Arsenal is a serious team? They

I first saw this movie when I was a kid in the mid to late 80’s, maybe a couple more times as a teenager in the 90’s, then forgot about it. Never really got anything more out of it than “Vietnam Vet goes berserk, cool action scenes.” The sequels just reinforced the whatever-ness of this franchise (only scene I

For a party whose supporters like to think of themselves as the true patriots and supporters of the troops and the military, the candidates sound like some pretty cavalier war mongerers. Perhaps it’s the total absence of any direct military service on the stage, or the ZERO days spent being the parent of a

Having been to Boston more times that I should have as a person who hates New England weather and Boston accents (or the RI variant), and who has had the misfortune of knowing too many current and former residents of the “greater Boston area,” I suspect that when you live in one of the drab dying cities outside Boston

Yeah but who, other than teenagers looking to “rep” their shit to other teenagers, as teenagers are wont to do, is really “pretending [they’re] an urban sophisticate?” I just assume anyone who lives in a painfully suburban place is very much at peace with that fact (otherwise you just frickin’ move to some shitty pad

What does it matter to anyone other than the “I live in the city proper so I’m the rillest of the rill, you suburban twats” crowd? Just when I think I might remotely care about such geographic exactitude, I recall my first day of college in Connecticut waiting in some line for some shit and having a version of this

A lot of ground covered in the comments here, but I’ll note this: For middling commoners like these two, the hyper-rigid social norms of the Victorian era and the brutally enforced class/racial/ethnic stratification of British society would have made their lives’ incomprehensibly more miserable than they envision it

Ah when the Bears were “good.” Boggles my mind now to think that on the same team you had Marshawn Lynch, Desean Jackson, and Alex Mack. Having that kind of NFL caliber talent on the Bears now is unfathomable. You know your program is in a sad dark place when you pine for the days of wine, roses and Jeff Tedford.
