Actually, the Hayward Fault/Memorial Stadium story would be good. I did a GIS project at Cal where we figured out how many people would die in the stadium if The Big One hit during a sellout.

Or, Martha Coakley. Third time's the charm.

Liberals are spectacularly bad at turning out for special elections. That’s how Mass. got Scott Brown after Ted Kennedy died.

Haha - FULL KINJA WAR! (seriously, great stuff!)

Point of order - it was “canned applause lines”. WWE used to call them cheap pops back in the 90's. Akin to saying “Cleveland has the best basketball team” or “We all love America” or just saying how much you love the state you’re currently in because the people are some sort of complimentary adjective.

Appreciate the response Jay - should have added that other that that I thought it was an excellent, balanced, well-judged article.

*Slams head against table at another well-meaning liberal saying Elizabeth Warren should have been Veep*

I mean, if you insist. You racist.

Zack Hample, Hitler of ballhawking??

I definitely do not prefer it myself, but nowadays it is very hard to find a group of reasonable humans to play organized sports with. Unless you are willing to pay ridiculous league fees to pay refs that have no clue how to ref, a lot of us have to settle for the testosterone driven pickup games connected to LA…

Hey, thanks for the reply, I figured this would’ve gotten buried. I’ve been on the disabled list with a really bad ankle sprain for the last month, but I recently came across the outdoor court at Judkins Park. It’s one of the nicer looking outdoor courts I’ve seen. Once my ankle gets better I will definitely play…

Another important tip:

This is so on bro

The old gentlemanly phrase was; “I would care to engage you in two handed fisticuffs”........

You mean of the 2 handed variety?

I think it’s only a bad call because you were new to the gym. Normally it’s fine, at least in the games I run in.

I agree with the racist guy above me who said you play at weaksauce courts.

The same rule applies to pickup basketball, beer league softball or rec league hockey that applies to life: don’t be a dick.

Same goes for subbing for an all-dude softball team in a new town: unless you can prove you were blocked at triple-AAA by Derek Jeter, you will play RF and you will bat 10th.

What’s your gym of choice and outdoor court for pickup in Seattle?
