I was always proud of my minivans and never ashamed to drive it. When my kids got bigger and I wanted a slightly smaller car that got better gas mileage I got Subaru Forester...because it’s based on a car body, not a truck body.  I honestly would get a station wagon, but they’re not sold anymore because they’re even…

Sinclair would have called it “Code Blue” if they thought they could get away with it. (Code Blue is actually a way to assist homeless in finding housing for the night on particularly cold nights, allowing shelters to take in more people than normal, in case you live in a warm weather area and Code Blue warnings…

My grandfather, who’s been dead for 17 years, and drove almost into his 90's, believed, and I’m not making this up, that the left lane was for going the upper speed limit and nobody should ever go more than the speed limit. This means that when he was driving on the Beltway outside of DC, since the speed limit…

I’m not siding with the adoptive parents, but if the child had been removed by CPS and placed with them (I’m assuming, given what little information the article has about that aspect), then in a small part I don’t fault the adoptive parents because either a.) CPS, and others associated with the case, didn’t do their…

Fire these coaches.  Prosecute them for murder.  Never let them work a day again in their lives around football or around kids.

the New York Yankees are a wicked, awful baseball team that deserves to play its home games on fields of fire and brimstone in the very pit of Hell itself.

I’ll do it, and I’ll do it for a quarter of Grunfeld’s pay.  I mean, I can’t do any WORSE than he did, and it would definitely be a pay increase for me.

I’m as much of a traditionalist when it comes to baseball as the next guy who’s 40 years older than me, but I’m tired of the “unwritten rules” of baseball. I don’t care if it’s a complete game, no-hitter, down 33-0 and down to the last out. If the batter decides to lay down a bunt and gets a hit, so be it. If a guy…

Maybe you should read the excellent Richie Incognito article from the other day and rethink how the media operates in NYC.

Looks like he’s about to pop some sort of food in his mouth.

Young Man Jenkins?

The first two seasons are great, with lots of great talent writing and animating it, like C.H. Greenblatt, Merriwether Williams, Dan Povenmire, KAZ, and Aaron Springer.  And then, like a lot of animated shows, it’s been on the air for way too long.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, but for a casual gamer like myself, it’s not a great game. I’m not going to say it doesn’t look amazing, because it does, but when it comes to story and gameplay, it’s a far cry from the other games, and where the other games might lack in certain areas (Twilight Princess’ story, for…

Zelda II isn’t the worst Zelda console game. It’s Breath of the Wild. I’m not your typical gamer, I grew up with a 2600 and only played an NES when my roommate brought it to college with him. (A lot of Contra and Super Mario 3). I didn’t really play a Zelda game until Ocarina of Time, but I found it to be an…

It’s not my sort of humor.

The funny thing is that in a tune-up match against Afghanistan, one of the wickets England took was from a fielder knocking the ball up into the air before he went across the boundary line (catching the ball but going over the boundary line is the same as if the ball went over unimpeded) and then stepping back into…

What sucks is that the last ICC World Cup was broadcast on ESPN so I would be sitting in my home office at midnight, doing work, watching matches.  This time, I’m just getting updates from either the ESPN Cricket App (Yes! There is such a thing!) or BBC Sports.

To be fair, I hated Borat too.  However, I wouldn’t divorce my wife over it.

To be fair, he probelmatic logistics that you point out are not all that different from most built-in TV sitcom premises.
