I think anytime a campus gets to the point where students are on hunger strikes the President overseeing that campus has failed seriously enough to not be effective. It’s not a job where you sit around and passively deal with problems, and the dissmissive nature of his comments on this huge ongoing issue at Mizzou…

Full disclosure time: the wife and I are house hunting, and went to lunch before a round of houses on Saturday. Something did not agree with me and I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to quietly ditch the wife and our realtor so I could get some gas out. Things like checking out the yard or garage worked great,…

True, but I also don’t think being a legal scholar is a job requirement to be a Chief in Philly.

Kenobi’s line about the choosen one was the only watchable 3 seconds out of the combined sequels, and that’s partly b/c he could be talking about his disappointment in Anakin or the movies themselves.

Nicely done! I usually prefer a bourbon-brown sugar glaze on salmon but this looks fantastic. There’s no harm in slightly charring the slimmer ends while the thicker middle gets done either, especially with a sugar-base that can carmalize. Too bad I’m the only one in the family currently eating fish, otherwise I’d try…

How would you even think to try that in the first place? This clearly wasn’t a spur of the moment idea on the part of these people. Who the fuck would do this?

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. The ad blitz this fall is a perfect illustration, but I don’t blame these companies for getting a little greedy. I’m not rooting for them to fail but I’m not going to cry over never seeing those dumb ads again either.

That wasn’t even Bennett’s best quote on Sunday. When the kicker made a Jordan reference Bennett turned around and said he needs to talk less about Jordan, more about Steve Kerr.

This team is young and fun to watch, and winning 90+ games is a big enough surprise around here that people are ready to go nuts at the slightest hint of something magic happening. Let’s get the playoffs started already!

Absolutely right, and if you do it a few times you can tailor the ratios according to your taste in pie too. I go a little heavier on the allspice, I like the extra oomph it gives the pie. Just don’t add too much more, you don’t want it to turn the texture gritty. It’s October. That’s late enough for a pumpkin pie in…

I feel cheated we didn’t get any shots of Bears’ fans collapsed over the railing like we’re getting in every other college game this season. Speaking as a Bears’ fan and ND grad, I get a perverse pleasure out of rooting against Jimmy Clausen. That guy flat out cannot play.

Next time I’m job searching I’ll be taking the entire day off to interview, thank you very much. I started wearing blazers at my last job and got some suspicious glances. And this was a shirt and tie kind of place already. I joked about ‘dressing for the job you want, not the one you have’ trying to explain it away.

This didn’t surprise me too much but I was surprised the number was so big. But when you think about it, there are enough high-rent areas where ownership is rare that it probably weights the average in buying’s favor.

It looked like there were plenty of other teams’ fans there perfectly happy to also look like idiots. Yeesh.

A newborn’s fingernails are like tiny little hypodermic lightsabers. They’re not even organic, they’re some horrible hybrid of everything sharp you’ve avoided your entire life.

Not if they’re still going to the gym. Fuck these people.

My first successful haggle is still my favorite, got a bike shop to agree to knock $200 off their listed price for an older model single speed. Had some good fortune buying our first place at less than it was appraised at a few years ago too, I just wish some of that had rubbed off as we try to negotiate selling it…

Zing!

Ah, that’s fantastic! My favorite part of visiting Yellowstone was the crystal clear realization of “holy shit, we are actually in the wild here” about half a day into a camping trip after college. As a city boy I greatly enjoyed it and can’t wait to take my family on something similar.

And if I lived in the area and knew which groomers, I know which one I’d be going to from now on. B/c that’s good press, vs the bad press Longhorn is getting for firing their good person of a waiter. I’ve never understood how the bad press from firing someone for doing something good is outweighing the bad press you…
