Bravo to The Root for following Paul Maidment’s memo and sticking to sports.  

This is a true story: When I was in my dirtbag 20s, my friends and I used to hang out at a crappy bar because we loved the main bartender and the culture there. Then the scumbags who owned the bar fired the bartender we loved. He went to work at another bar and we followed him there. The first bar is closed now.

I feel like venture capitalists would consider theft a sport, right?

Man, I love people who self-own through being hilariously inept. You know, pumpkin thieves, thin-skinned vulture capitalist owners of blog sites, those kinds of folks.

What are we supposed to read for national news now? I relied on Splinter for that. I still read Jez and Root but without Splinter, I’m not sure where to go.

Me and this guy share 99.9% of our DNA. It took me two hours to get out of bed.

Shock Waves (with Peter Cushing and Brooke Adams), the best Nazi zombie movie. Well okay the only good such movie. But still 

Remember in 1988 when Geraldo got hit in the face with a chair tossed by a Nazi? Now he works for them.

For some reason, this reminded me of the Sopranos episode where Paulie and Christopher are stuck in a van, freezing, somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the snow. They find old mustard/ketchup packets and end up eating them just to stay alive.

A fair—and respectable—position to take.

I wish you luck in it.  I tried the same thing for a long time, and after a while, the urge to drink the idiocy out of my brain was a little too strong.

I mean, so? I don’t want Biden to run anyway, if we can get both out of here with one stone? Yay!

Good for you!  Oh man, Moon 44. Michael Paré. There’s a guy whose star rose and fell virtually overnight. Started with Eddie and the Cruisers, ended with The Philadelphia Experiment just a year later, with Streets of Fire in between. Watch that for some amazing 80's absurdity, including Willem Dafoe as a melodramatic…

It’s doesn’t seem like you’ve moved on, dude.

The Jets starting QB has fucking mono like some horny teenaged hump, the main back-up, who actually forgot how to play football, got destroyed in a matter of minutes after taking the field, and they now have two dopes named Fuck and Fails as the only breathing QB’s left. Yet somehow, I’m still glad that Cousins…

I seriously cherish my Shudder subscription. I wish more people had it, I’ve tried to convince so many people to watch Horror Noire, but getting someone to subscribe just for that documentary is somewhat difficult.

Can’t wait to see how they handle the new Queer Horror Documentary.

Anyway, I’m super excited for…

This is yet more proof that his addled brain is stuck in the 80's. Hypodermic needles washing up on coasts was a huge issue a few decades ago. And they tried to blame it all on the homeless and addicts then - and, I am sure a little of it was - but it was really from medical waste companies who had no regulations on…

The immortal Rick Mirer was also worthy of the list in his day.

... but Dr. Detroit was a pimp. (play on ... but Black Dynamite I sell drugs to the community)

Just put McCaffrey in at quarter back, he is gonna get the ball on every play either way.
