I have performed an analysis like the one you described, only not as complex and based on words from the database at www.wordaxis.com, as well as simple frequency counts from ENABLE and TWL06, plus data on existing Scrabble variants and the frequency of each letter in English texts (which I found on Peter Norvig’s…

There goes my dream of them losing all the QBs and running the Wildcat all season.

“used to”

Let he who doesn’t chop his parmesan cheese with a credit card cast the first stone.

Allow me to submit that the middle seat is actually the underrated one, at least for a human of broad shoulders, twitchy back, and antisocial disposition. Aisle, the obvious choice, subjects you to knee, ankle, and shoulder abuse at the hands of the cart and other passengers. Window, the overrated torture chair, sucks…

Learn the rules, people. That was NOT traveling.

Shoulda been you, Jim Ryun.

I’ve been in increasing turbulence in recent years, and I get so nervous of my impending doom I’ve taken to writing goodbye notes to my husband on my skin midflight.

There’s an old saying in aviation, at least according to the old geezers I’ve hung around in midwest airplane hangers:

Gimme the delay.

Oh man, I had a 8pm flight up Minneapolis delayed for an hour and I had about 2 1/2 hours to kill at the bar. Got hammered, almost missed the flight, and find out that I am the only person in the entire Exit Row section. No one within 3 rows of me. I spread out like an absolute asshole.

You’d be catatonically staring at your ceiling, crying just a little and wishing the fucking plane had just crashed and put you out of your post-traumatic stress bed-wetting.

I’d rather have the flight delayed, and then canceled, and then the pilot quits, and then the airline goes out of business, and then the airport shuts down, and then all flights are grounded, and then humans lose the knowledge necessary for mechanical flight, than be on a barf plane.

Sitting in Atl right now waiting to board a flight into the northeast barf zone with five coworkers. We’re split 4/2 in favor of more drinking time in the airport over potential chunk plane.

I’ve never been to Minnesota. Is it flat enough to attract Geno Smith?

Yes, I was watching the Rising Stars Challenge on a Friday night.

Dude, seriously? That’s a whole lotta fancy words to castigate a team that is constantly - and usually deservedly - castigated. Other hand, if you actually understand the subtleties of baseball, maybe they did great this offseason:
