Fair enough re: heartbreak. The Brewers haven’t been good enough in my lifetime for me to be heartbroken (and I was 3 when they were in the WS).

At least you have the right attitude!

I was 3 when the Brewers lost the WS, and you are the first person I’ve heard say they choked. Maybe because the beer goggles here still have such reverence for Harvey’s Wallbangers, but I’ve never heard “choke” referred to with that team.

The Cubs are just setting themselves up for even greater heartbreak in either the NLCS or WS. I can’t wait!

not as bad as this Lambo blunder

How would Weinstein know? In the article you linked to Vulture, it was an improvised response to an improvised line. It would only be Dan Castellaneta who could provide that insight.

Fair enough

Oh, god. What did gallahad just do?

when two Cubs, trying to catch the final out, run into each other. Ball drops with the winning runs scoring from 1st & 2nd.

I can only imagine.

Yeah, no. While I don’t specifically despise anyone on the Cubs roster, it’s been the insufferable Milwaukee Cubs fans that has me actively rooting against them.

Sure. Still doesn’t change the fact that using that term, in this context, is stupid and confusing.

So, because the amount of time they are in violation of DMV regulations is small, there either shouldn’t be a regulation or they shouldn’t be ticketed? That’s a specious argument.

I wasn’t arguing against your point. I agree that equal application of the law is important (in many areas, not just DMV regulations). My point was that the OP takes issue that there ARE regulations on vehicles in the first place.

Yeah! Fuck regulations on vehicles. Let’s allow semi-trucks pull 200,000 lb of freight. Let’s allow cars to have 1200 lumen flashlights as headlights. Catalytic converters? Fuck that noise. Emissions requirements? Don’t tell me I can’t pollute the air with whatever quantity of poison I want!

That’s what I don’t get about this whole situation. The anonymnity of an author of a work of fiction is of zero consequence if it’s something I enjoyed reading. Hell, I read and enjoy both Brad Thor (staunch conservative) and David Baldacci (liberal-leaning democrat) novels. Not once have I ever given two shits about…

oops.

I can vouch for your statement regarding the athletic ability of punters. Our next door neighbor’s son is a DIII punter, and he is, by far, the most athletic person I know. It’s insane.

What is the most hilarious misinterpretation of song lyrics you’ve ever had?
