You know what’s good for absorbing alcohol while you drink?

You could tell Red Sox fans were going to be insufferable if they won the WS, because they always talked about how they deserved it. The Sox were Sisyphus, virtue denied. Ditto for Giants fans. I haven’t gotten the same impression from Cubs fans, because they know the franchise has been mostly bunglers.

I agree. The parents definitely screwed up— big time. However, the part about the midwife concerned me more. The article doesn’t indicate that she was in any sort of trouble. People use doctors and midwives because they don’t know about medicine, so to have one that seems poorly informed and poorly trained is very…

Grew up Catholic, and I’d like to believe in the axiom that god helps those who help themselves. Which in this case means calling 911 and availing oneself and one’s child of the best medical care god’s creations (i.e. humans) have to offer.

This reminds me of the parable in which a drowning man is offered help by three successive sets of people, and he keeps denying them, saying that God will save him. When he inevitably dies, God asks him why he was such an idiot; He/She had sent all those people to help!

I’m going with E) God maybe exists or maybe doesn’t exist, but if he/she does exist, he expects you to use every avenue of help available.

I imagine that Tomlin was thinking, “let’s win this now rather than go to OT on the road.”

Throw in the fact that the Steelers running game was doing well, the Chargers can’t stop the run, and the Chargers were nice enough to take their time out to let Pittsburgh talk it over, I’d say Tomlin made the right choice -…

Honestly, he may have been thinking “Fuck this, I don’t want to go to OT and have this game decided by my eighth-string kicker.”

That was insane. I have to wonder what Mike Tomlin was thinking there.

Especially because he put an ass whipping on a juiced-to-the-gills Wanderlie Silva when he was in his prime. SHUFFLE. SHUFFLE, H-BOMB!

Actually, cartels love drugs being illegal. Their whole business model relies on dealing on contraband, and ripping off highest possible prices for lowest possible quality. They have no place in a well-regulated, legitimate market.

You and I are BEST FRIENDS now. These cuisines are amazing.

But they haven’t had the same General Manager in those 40 years. And they’re still not considered an elite franchise and play on national television 11 times a year.

I’ma have to defend “whitey” again and stand up for French, Italian, Spanish, and Greek food (in that order). Although, in my book, nothing will everrrr compare to Thai.

This could be the subject of a really insightful PhD thesis: Kings and their musical kingdoms. When you think about it, it’s a nearly perfect inverse. Presley, a white dude, was channeling/ripping off very old forms of Black American music and rendering them into a ‘safe’ version of sexuality and passion, while…

Let there be Lite.

Man, I almost cried when I heard this news. Fedor is my all-time favorite fighter. And while I thought PRIDE was better than UFC (back when both existed), I’m not one of these diehards who’ll get violently angry at suggestion that UFC was better. In his prime, the man was untouchable. No doubt the greatest of his…

You have it all wrong on Fedor. After years of dealing with sketchy Japanese and European managers and promoters, he is finally getting paid (rumored $2.5 million for this fight). He also got paid handsomely for all his post-Pride fights even though most underperformed on PPV and maybe even sunk Strikeforce. That he…

So long and thanks for all the fish.
