“The formula for the show will always work” For this reason, I hope they find some likeable characters for Mulder and Scully to pass the torch to, so that series can continue on with some new blood. It’d be nice for Mulder and Scully to transition to secondary characters at some point, maybe even set Mulder up to fill…

When all is said and done, I think ‘melo may end up being one the least consequential hall of famers ever.

I’m just glad she didn’t say Malört.

I thought cops were blue... Are blue lives are only blue lives when they aren’t black? So confusing...

You could do worse than the Work Song version from the Count Basie/Sammy Davis, Jr. Album, but right now, I don’t know that you can do better for your ears than Vin Scully calling a Dodgers blowout on MLB Network.

Damn- this is ambitious. The only violence I can successfully do to a chicken results in a dirty sock, not a week’s worth of meals.

So, they surveyed “a random selection of 504 self-identified Native Americans, 36 percent of whom claimed a tribal affiliation”, meaning just people that told them they were Native American/belonged to a tribe? Is that seriously it?

He said “HEY- let’s play two!’, right? Seems fun!

Found the Billy Haisley sockpuppet.

Didn't realize they changed the 40 into a three-legged race this year.

My biggest issue is that it was the 3Bs wrist that was in contact with the runner, rather than his glove. If we’re going to say that the runner can never lose contact with the base, fine- the rule is pretty clear anyway, but then we should also make sure that the fielder is tagging the runner with the ball, too.

WTF- this sounds like it was more execution than shooting:

“D-I status matters for a number of reasons, including how many CONCACAF Champions League spots a league is allotted”

This is wrong. The spots are allotted to USSF, not a league. NASL teams can qualify for CONCACAF Champions League right now by winning the US Open Cup, and even with a D-1 status, USSF would not have to…

What would happen if San Diego instead gave $350 million to its residents? Like, split it up someway, and then distribute it? Would that yield a greater ROI than building a stadium? I have no answers.

The Stanley Cup is carry on luggage? I'd hate to be waiting behind him as he tries to fit that in the overhead compartment.

But the Arizona Republic notes the agenda for the city council meeting cites a state statute “that allows government entities to end a contract within three years of being signed if a person involved in negotiating the contract for the city is, in effect, an employee or agent of the other party to the contract.”

Not only that, but it seems like that skill is even applied on a pitch-by-pitch basis, with each pause in the story coinciding with the description of a pitch.

The headline says that the ridiculously huge boxer won the fight?

Benefits are capped, too, and could easily remain capped while the cap on earnings taxed is lifted. It’s not like Social Security is an individual “forced savings” account for workers, people working now are basically paying the benefits to the people collecting it (as you put it, ‘cashflow’) and at some point…

Sure, that works, too.
