I do not worry about being polite; i just tell them. Who would rather walk around with food in their teeth than suffer the fleeting embarrassment of being told to check their ivories? I also tell people when they have a toilet paper trial on their shoe and have twice spared women the embarrassment of walking around…

this is a cultural problem in which we believe that athletes owe us their entire selves. if we think of isaiah thomas being one of our co-workers who just lost a sister 24 hours ago, we would all encourage, if not force, him to go home. no one would expect their computer tech/ pizza guy/ car salesman to report for…

i agree completely. barkley, clumsily, attempted to protect thomas’ right to private mourning. that poor man deserved to be able to process his loss on his own terms. i worry that we are a vampiric culture, insatiably living off of the authentic emotions of others.

i think it will go to O’Reilly after Gionta

probably not a pug mix then...arlo maxes out at 30 pounds. he does walk on furniture like a cat though...

those soulful eyes...

Maybe yours is a pug poodle mix...that is what arlo,my chunkier version of charles barkley, is. massive underbite and wiry hair, curly pug tail.

this is arlo. he is the best.

we had separate seating areas at our holiday tables...the chitlin’ section and the non chitlin’ section.

in college i would also have run ins with the occasional classmate from china wanting to touch my hair. one young woman angrily yelled at me when i insisted that my curls were natural. she thought it was a process and wanted to do the same thing to her hair. it was pretty comical.

the problem with “back in the day” opinions is that there is always someone whose day was back farther...in my case those days predate gretzky, whose presence, in my opinion, forever altered hockey because he needed a bodyguard. pre gretzky, skill players did fight, just not as often as other players did; most players…

Incognito is a rex ryan shit stain that i hope gets washed out by the bills’ new coach. yes, in this metaphor, the bills are dirty underwear.

that was a dick move....kind of how i imagine all pro golfers to be...unfairly and irrationally, of course.

my favorite surprise use for bay leaves is to throw one in the pot along with any potatoes you may be boiling. i did this with mini red potatoes which i finished with butter and dill. the bay leaf provides a nice, subtle layer of flavor. i read this tip somewhere and can’t take credit for it.

that is based upon a very old experiment by elementary school teacher jane elliott, first conducted in 1968, while teaching in riceville iowa. there is a frontline documentary about it:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/class-divided/ it is both fascinating and difficult to watch.

Olly is the Mary Katherine Gallagher of dogs.

two things:

I think that I speak for everyone when I say “why are you doing this to us”?

that man isn’t decent...he is fine! i mean foine!

this is one of those instances where it would have been better to have just ignored a photo. all this limp, uncreative douchebag wanted was attention...any kind of attention and we have given it to him. my kingdom for a firehose!
