An update for you, as a Pens writer myself- thus far the little guy, Trey, has gotten 2 pucks, a jersey, a stick, and last I saw was with the teams’ PR staff, apparently to head into the locker-room with them to meet the players from what I gathered. While the old guy was booed out of the arena right afterward and…

Congratulations! In a comment section full of dumb comments, this one is the dumbest!

Even then, I have a problem with it, because the coach and the Christian kids are going to notice who’s not attending those prayer meetings. It’s implied coercion.

Thank Christ for the Satanists, keeping it fun.

Because it is. It has a deity and it has ceremonies, just because a lot more consider it weird or strange doesn’t make it any less “religious”. Being strange and weird make it the the perfect counter to practicing christianity not to mention it’s the yin to its yang.

When I was in high school one of my teammates (who battled and survived cancer in the months before this particular season) lost his grandfather, who came to most of our games, a few hours before he was to pitch. He ended up throwing a no hitter against our rivals (his second of the season). It was an emotionally…

Because some (most) people don’t have the flexibility to pick and choose employment to find a perfect fit. Sometimes a trans person needs to work at a shitty Wal-Mart to pay the bills and dammit, they don’t deserve crap from some shithead assistant manager who disagrees with their lifestyle.

Interesting. Thanks.

Obviously, the design needs some work, but I think it’s a powerful message the NFL can rally behind.

It’s all part of the 12-step program. Just as soon as you’re 12 steps out of the building, they fire your ass.

That’s what old Multiple Miggs was in prison for.

I see it as the best of the bad. I don’t think it deserves to be hailed as one of the best movies of a summer movie season. The fact that it actually was one of the better movies of the summer just shows how shitty other movies were.

I call this entire ensemble the “What would happen if Rodney Dangerfield and a bloated, possibly mumps-infected Andrew McCarthy reproduced a fully grown man?” look.

Sure, you could say that, but you’d also look like a huge asshole b/c the statement is absolutely correct as stands, and your comment only serves to take away from the important message here.

They’re a less scary stand-in for the bleak reality that is our post 9/11 world.

Weird. Back-to-back stories about farting hot dogs.

That’s just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

That’s a good point, but where I think that the CoSA solution falls apart is the whole, “you can’t find enough volunteers” thing. It sounds like a fairly substantial commitment for a volunteer to take on. Not just the non-zero risk that your sex offender will reoffend or harm your family, but also the societal harm…

Personally, I’m not even looking at it from the point of view of sympathizing with the offender. I’m more concerned about what works.
