Also acceptable: PKs are fine.

Welcome to the 80s, sir. Although I thought the Cardinals’ nurse scrubs were worse.

What site is that? Looks useful!

** ...with more dumb internet comments is ineffective, and subsiding...

Dammit! I was saving “realizing that defending dumb internet comments with more dumb internet comments and subsiding into petulant silence” for my next play, but as always you, my cunning nemesis, are one step ahead of me. The game is yours, 2-1. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Oh, unnuanced repetition, I didn’t see that coming. 1-1. Good play. Next, I’m thinking you’ll either try to bog me down in semantics, or — and this is a long shot because it’s so specific— validate yourself with some kind of credential.

THERE’S that defensiveness, and insecurity manifested as aggression. I’m gonna go ahead and give myself at least half a point for my first answer. What are we playing to? Best of five?

Ummm FUCKING. Or have you not been watching the Lebron I’ve been watching??

D’oh! I see the correct answer was “reframing the discussion” and “minimizing the stakes retroactively.” I was close, though — there’s quite of bit of defensiveness, and a lot of posturing! Thanks for letting me play.

Ooh, ooh, I love this game! I’m gonna guess...through hyperdefensive rationalization and inappropriately aggressive posturing. Am I right?

This is a great comment to read in retrospect. Well done.

Burrito bowls are best but ONLY if the contents of said burrito bowl would not possibly fit into any burrito, AND if it is eaten along with at least one tortilla and/or pile of tortilla chips. If your burrito bowl is smaller than your head, it shoulda been in a tortilla.

As do we all. As do we all. I’m going to make one of these for myself for my 40th. But I have to ask: how long will it take to freeze the numbers?

Thanks to the awesome power of interneting, I found this — thank you, good sir, for bringing it to my attention.

Wha? Is this easily findable?

“Hasn’t grown in a writer in about a decade” just about sums it up.

Wow. Impressive. If Simmons were dead, you’d be a convincing medium.

All of the above is true and good, and just strengthens the NYT comparison of Simmons to Bill Maher.

Ditto. And the hefty knockdown officer looks like he even tries to break the guy’s fall (well, both of their falls). Dude did his job.

Golf courses deserve to be shat upon.
