Let me take you out of the grays..

They play in Cleveland on 2/8. So...

This seems like an appropriate place to drop some Smooth knowledge.

It seems alive and well in the comments here.

Maybe next promotion they can put boot straps on everyone’s chairs. Well, not everyone, just the “people [that] lag in every conceivable category.” #GetFucked

Popular vote counts one vote for one person, that’s sorta how democracy works. Should we also go back to not allowing women to vote, or count black votes at 3/5ths of a vote/person. #Merp

It’s not really a misunderstanding. It’s the Chinese New Year, 2/8. California has the largest number of Asian Americans of any state. The Chinese Calendar is the product of centuries of evolution.

You’re probably right but consider California is home to the largest number of Asian Americans of any state. So, racists managed to fuck this up for two groups of minorities. Sucks all around.

Because you can’t be trusted to vote. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

Great movie, and great song. Gives me chills every time.

Bingo. Meanwhile, the fucking electoral college is still a thing...

For sure, sadly you are correct. My original statement was a bit hyperbolic, and wistful, but not entirely untrue.

The NFL is in crisis. Very few people seem confused about how destructive it is; even its own stars. It’s almost as if quality of life is more valuable than a fucking paycheck.

Sometimes Deadspin commenters really let me down. This is not one of those times. Thank you for starring and recognizing Coover’s brilliance here.

I’d feel a lot better if Mitch Albom wasn’t a “best-selling author.” But goddam, people willing read his treacle shitpies so...

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine.

Youtubers get the credit for pointing me to the roots of this song. Have always loved Lee Perry’s version but had no idea of the origins. Now I think I may like the original even more than Perry’s version.

From The Black Ark:

Nah, your musical tastes are fine Fran. Spotify just kinda sucks is all.
