Did you really have to ask that? He’s a Celtics fan...

I just recently came across an article in Japan about a little boy with vision problems who loves that series so much he sent a letter to Nintendo to thank them and ask them to keep making the series. Nintendo replied with a thank you and said that they had passed his letter on to the development team.

Believe it or not, bread and water is actually a pretty good deal. If that’s the punishment imposed, no other punishment can be imposed (restriction, forfeiture of pay, confinement, loss of rank, etc.) Three days and done.

Oh because all squirrels know each other, right? You’re despicable.

If I saw that goddamned bear looking through my door I’d be making brownies too.

Except for the native people who came up with the game.

They have the two of the three oldest players in baseball, in Bartolo Colon and RA Dickey, at a combined 85 years old. If you replaced them both with players that are 30.4 years, the average drops by a full year. Drops them to “only” 6th oldest.

I assume the Braves being ‘younger guys’ is facetious because I’m naturally charitable this early in the morning, but they’re the oldest team in baseball (averaging 30.4 years), and only part of that is Bartolo Colon being 67.

Maddux: Max, I think we should put JJ on here.

The guy is an annoying sports broadcaster, there is no reason to shit on him when his wife was tragically killed. Holy shit, have some compassion as a human being.

Although delivered poorly, I don’t think it’s bad advice. Code switching has been necessary for a lot of people, even poorer rural white people. My husband had a strong Kentucky twang as a kid, but he forced himself to get rid of it in college because of the treatment he received from people when he spoke. It sucks (I…

Take the L on this one, man

The quotes served to indicate that I am not going to put an asterisk on the fact that he killed himself and we should somehow be okay with this. It doesn’t matter what he did to get where he was, ANY time someone decides their only option is suicide is a tragedy. Full stop.

why did you put bad guy in quotes? Piece of shit killed dudes because someone accidentally bumped into him. The story of his downfall is tragic - his death most certainly isn’t.

You don’t need to use quotes when he was, in fact, a sociopath murderer.

I believe it still counts as a pickoff—just a very, very slow one.

Don’t be the “Why aren’t you drinking?” guy at the bar who won’t let it go. There’s always one and he’s an asshole. Sample quotes:
