I’m not entirely sold on 8's story, but I do love me some Junction system shenanigans.

Uneducated take, perhaps. Not for you? Absolutely acceptable there.

Well, he does have another show on Fox.

Every time I revisit it the original, I’m a little surprised by how well it holds up (janky translation aside).

I just played FF7 again about a year ago and... yeah, no, the themes I love all hold up. A bunch of broken, effed-up people fighting to save a world that only is marginally interested in being saved.

Why did they say he’s not and never has been their Chief Knowledge Officer? It’s stated right on their website. https://journal.crossfit.com/article/sitrep1-2

This. Even being a heavy defender of the media, our media needs to start doing a better goddamn job. Everyone’s comfortable and defending their turf, focused on setting themselves up more than doing their job.

This is less for Trump and more directly for our media to stop spewing the same both sides shit. By putting what he said in writing on their video no one can sound bite the part they want.

This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Gaiman shorts...mostly because it’s the very first story in Fragile Things, if I’m not mistaken, and that was the first book of shorts by him that I read. His books of shorts are all pretty stunning; he’s such a talented and creative writer.

I love that hop breeders are giving us these new varieties, but the whole patent nonsense drives me nuts. I’ve long wanted to take a little vacation to Yakima with a shovel to cut off a rhizome or two of Simcoe and Mosaic to grow in my backyard.

Can verify the inexplicable CT jam band love.

I thought it was him being somewhat sarcastic — that this is something that f***ing sucks that he saw coming from a mile away (like a game show contestant who knows they’re going home with the year’s supply of rice-a-roni), but he’s putting on a surprised face for appearances sake (like a game show contestant trying…

growing up in CT, the most popular bands in HS were the grateful dead, phish, dave matthews and blues traveler. all jam bands that i fucking hated. and i still pretty much hate them.

Kids love any song as long as you sing with inflecccctiioonnn.

I thought the point was that although everyone who goes on the show knows about the parting gift but nobody believes they will be the one sitting there in abject defeat clutching a case of Rice a Roni.

Blues Traveler is the 90s blues pop that even Dave Matthews fans will be happy to dunk on without a hint of self-awareness.

Their music is alright. Not terrible, not great, just alright. I could sit in a Chili’s and say “Oh yeah, I remember this” without vomiting on my Crispy Chicken Fingers. The hyperbole from those…

Ok, then how about “Two Princes” by the Spin Doctors?!? It’s rootsy, hacky-sack pop at its 90's finest (worst).

Not seeking recommendations on how to get my kid deeper into Blues Traveler at this time, thanks.

You should play “Hook” for her, from the same album. Even catchier (I mean, it’s called “Hook” for crying out loud) and all kids love the part where he sings real fast.

Nothing profound there—just something annoying you have to live with. Like “Run-Around.”
