No, we checked, turns out there’s nothing in the rule book that says a dog can’t be head referee.

Not two separate vowel letters, just two vowel sounds. e.g. “fight” combines “ah” and “ee” into one syllable, despite the one letter “i.”

“I have not yet begun to defile myself” is one that I use more than I probably should.

You’re so close to the right idea for extra innings, but I think you take it in the other direction: every inning both teams lose a fielder (8 fielders in the 10th, 7 in the 11th, etc). They’re free to pick anyone other than the pitcher and catcher, and arrange the remaining fielders however they please. This has 2…

You’re a bug.

I remember a camp counselor back in the day telling me one of the best stories of true friendship I’ve ever heard: he had recently quit drinking and went to a party with his heavy-drinking friends, and posted up with a solo cup full of water. When his friend asked what he was drinking and he told him that he had quit…

Ok so my knowledge of this is from being on the front line of the return team in HS against a team who regularly executed exactly this onside kick, in TX (where HS football is played by NCAA rules). We were instructed to line up wide, and just fair catch the ball if it got popped up in our direction. According to rule…

Yeah when there are local governments lining up around the block to unload dumptrucks of money into billionaires’ pockets, it’s hard to fault said billionaires for saying “okay.” A much easier target is the politicians who betray their constituents by participating in this perverse race to the bottom.

They continue to astonish me by not starting to suck as they get older, both live and on record. English Oceans is an above-average DBT album in my assessment, which is no small statement.

As someone who recently had a friend get concussed in a wakeboard fall and proceed to ask the *exact* same questions for a half hour (if I believed this guy had the persistence to stick with a bit that long, I would have sworn he was bullshitting us), this sounds like a pretty accurate depiction.

As much as I hate everything about the Patriots organization, I think it would be awesome to see a giant honest-to-goodness “Suck it, Goodell” tifo in the stands.

Great stuff. Couple additions:

I just googled that stadium just cause, and Christ that place is frightfully ugly, inside and out. How does that happen?

As someone who rewound to catch bits of missed dialogue A LOT last night, watch it a second time and I’m confident you’ll have a much better idea of what’s going on.

Agreed. There were a lot of Chekhov’s guns that went unfired in the first season. I guess if we know that’s the way Nicky Pizza’s playing it, we’ll watch this season in a different way, but that really pissed me off about the last season. Really not sure why I’m watching this season, as all the things I loved about S1…

I think the biggest knock on these guys is that they live in a fantasyland enabled by independent generational wealth that’s normally not the purview of adults, who the fuck has the time, let alone money, to just go do this for a year? I don’t think these guys just all happened to sell successful businesses they built…

Mark it zero, Dude.

This is also the gist of a 5-year-old Patton Oswalt bit:

I'm not gonna argue your choice of recipes (let's just say I'm from Texas and leave it at that. Well actually, I'll say that other than the beans and the peppers this looks pretty delightful), but some easy tweaks that could improve this recipe:

This says more about your delicate baby tissue-paper mouth-roof than it does about CC. Start flossing or something idk
