Boomer here. I still think it’s funny as hell, especially the hysteria. And I know you kids aren’t talking about me. I’m not a regular granny, I’m a cool granny.

Clearly, the winner here is Gen X for absenting ourselves from this slapfight.

So I accidentally lied. He does not have a scarf...though I could have sworn he did. He does however have a hat and boots and is still adorable and useful. And I photographed him in my tiny cast iron because it has a similar story... Went from "why do I need a pan this small?" to "this is my favorite pan". 

I take issue with that last bloc. Cultural signalling isn’t inherently a bad thing. No one is voting for someone because he does or does not eat fried chicken. I guess you can argue whether too much emphasis is put on it, but it’s silly to spin it as something undesirable.

I boiled that prayer down kid-sized for bedtime memorization:

I decided to look it up to find its namesake, and it turns out it’s a Spanish noun meaning “path.” As such, “the” is actually grammatically correct, possibly replacing “El.”

yeah. i was listening to westwood one’s broadcast and it was the funniest thing i’ve heard. kevin’s play by play was the greatest radio!

I feel like the circle for the D&D group would be shaped more like this:

No this isn’t a training issue. You don’t train people “don’t spit in peoples’ food,” you just fire them if they do because they’re supposed to already know that. They’re also supposed to already know you don’t cater to bigots in your dining room when assigning tables. So there’s nothing to train...just fire their…

Wrestling’s a sport. Not our department.

My child has a severe tree nut allergy. You know how they handle it when they’re going out for a meal? They look at the menu ahead of time and if they see a lot of dishes that feature nuts as an ingredient, they don’t go to that restaurant. 

I wonder if crafty chefs can get around the fois gras ban by using something other than ducks. there’s a rumor that corporate toad liver is even more delicious. They still have to cram a tube down their throat and force feed the toads, but for many I think it would be a more ethically sound choice.

You can tell 90% of Deadspin commenters are lawyers because the comments skirt so artfully around libel laws

Re: the email of the week -- Leitch?

Soooo it sounds like the ship is sinking. I’ll be adding deadspin and the like to the “don’t load” list in adblock. I’ll leave everyone with this (stolen and adapted from Pirate Radio):

Thinking of you all today and the near future. What you’re doing is right and important, and I’m sincerely so sorry this has fallen on your shoulders to take up. It’s shameful and outrageous. Deadspin means a great deal to me on a daily basis. 

Stick to sporting breeds!
