Call if a phoenix all you want but that’s a goddamn dragon, and I’ve got the huge stack of Weis and Hickman books in my childhood bedroom to testify to my authority in this matter.

“A 15-year-old mega nerd’s tattoo. It’s also very DragonLance cover art.”

You might want to pick up a history book there. Or two.

I think most of Europe is staunchly anti-hate speech because they learned first hand how that kind of shit can get out of hand.

Sounds like a perfect GOP presidential candidate.

Yes. Michael Schumacher, 1994-2004. 7 Formula One championships in 10 years.

It’s a question of scale. Roman London was smaller than Victorian London which was smaller than Modern London. Hence the need to spend over £4 billion on a new “super sewer”.

The power dymanics in press relationships is that the press should have the power. When your subjects control your access, your subjects also control your voice, as you will do anything to maintain this access.

But if you hold of on actual news to maintain a relationship, you’re just an arm of their public relations department and not a journalist.

If you’re pissing people off with your journalism, then you’re doing your job. Ruffling feathers, even if you’re entertainment reporters, is par for the course. Don’t stop doing it just because a couple publishers are a wee bit on the childish side of things.

“Idris Elba is from London. Thus, he’s an Arsenal fan.”

An Aresenal fan being arrogant in mid-November. Where could it possibly go wrong?

No doubt, today’s biggest tragedy is that you are still employed here

Billy can’t tell the difference between _____ and _____. (fill in anything). He can’t take a hint or tip. My tip to him has been STOP WRITING.

YOU’RE A GREAT WRITER BILLY!

The DS writers all are on the gooners jocks so there is only one club Mr. Elba could root for. Which is funny because he doesn’t look like a fuckin hipster douchebag.

Not sure I get “he’s from London, thus he’s an Arsenal fan.” I mean, Chelsea play in London too, as do Tottenham, West Ham, Crystal Palace, and several teams who are currently in lower leagues but have been in the Prem. Am I missing a joke here? (Probably.)

Pointless anecdote: when I first arrived in the U.S. with zero knowledge of American football or universities, I spent the first couple of months so confused that there was a team called “LA Shoe”.

YEAH WTF. Kitchenette is like 90% of why I’m even here... and I know I’m not alone.
