It’s got retro-futuristic chic!

In light of the FBI investigation reported today, I think the actual explanation is that “Contractor” is some celebrity’s kid with a weird name, like Moon Unit Zappa or Pilot Inspektor Lee, and he’s just self conscious about having gotten in on his dad’s “Homeboys in Outer Space” residuals instead of his own merits.

While I’m sure I could really be a Beau Brummell if I just gave it half a chance, my favorite anecdote is buried in a link within that thread, where George IV spoke to a few of Brummell’s friends and pointedly ignored him, causing Brummell to interject, “Oh, who’s your fat friend?”, in reference to the Prince Regent.

Yale could use an international airport.

I’m more amused by the prospect of “photoshopping students’ faces onto the bodies of ‘legitimate athletes’”. I like to imagine some interviewer in the admissions office quizzing young Braydyn on how come he has the exact same tattoos on his arms as David Beckham.

The readers (or at least twitter users) picked sunny-side up over poached. How can we trust people to vote if they keep making the wrong choice?

Well, Dale Cooper’s on your side, at least.

Why add an E? I thought this was Studio 54!

I was looking up Tim Lincecum after his name was dropped in the Blake Snell article- there’s an even faster and earlier decline. Back-to-back CYA’s at 24 & 25, then leading the league in losses with a 5.18 ERA at 28. (The next few years were marginally better, but he was done by 32.)

Easily a top-two Ken Griffey in Mariners history.

That’s making the bold assumption that the number of Wikipedia articles doesn’t grow over that time, as the need arises for “List of people who died in teleportation accidents” or “Real Housewives of the Moon” pages.

Geoff. Geoff God.

I bought a small filing cabinet at IKEA when I moved, as part of a giant furniture purchase (finally replaced that shitty old blue couch from grad school- I found someone to take in spite of my girlfriend’s insistence that it had earned its retirement.) but I did make room to keep my Lego instructions in there,…

Uh, surely you mean ‘zalad’.

I think it’s the recent origin that makes it all the more frustrating- it’s not as though Braves fans are clinging to tradition that dates back to Hank Aaron or Eddie Mathews. The chop at least made sense for a football game, since it mimics the referee’s first down signal, but there’s no similar umpire gesture in a…

I dislocated my jaw watching this GIF.

You didn’t bring up the most pressing question- is the eucharist vegan? The Pope isn’t very well going to go forty days without saying mass and receiving communion. Can he partake of bread that becomes the Body of Christ and still meet their challenge?
