I’m right there with you: very much a coffee person, and love my mug in the mornings, but you couldn’t pay me to drink the iced kind.

I’ll go farther: iced tea is preferable to iced coffee in *all* situations. Iced coffee is a sick joke that was taken seriously by a tone deaf buffoon and foisted upon the masses like a plague.

It was Seattle that Ainge got Ray Allen from, and he was coming off of surgery on both ankles at that point, so there was a question mark hanging over him. Which isn’t an attempt to cast a pall over Ainge as a GM, but Ray Allen didn’t take a ton of wheeling and dealing.

I was unaware of this tidbit. Thanks for enlightening me (you, and the others — I see you folks, too).

This is right on the nose. I was with some friends recently and we saw an ad for the Power Rangers movie, with Bryan Cranston playing Zordon. And one of them said, “That’s really sad.” And my thought was, why? He probably made a boatload of money for that film. And Cranston didn’t get famous and become “respected…

Nothing quite says “both sides need to calm their rhetoric” like a screed about one side in particular being the American ISIS, as well as McBain villains.

The people who rail against the awfulness of buses are generally people who took it once and had a bad experience. It’s the “a liberal is a conservative who’s never been mugged” argument.

Christ, I still remember the William Regal tribute where he wouldn’t say anything positive except “Chris Benoit was an excellent wrestler”:

Please, please, someone push to get Drew a reading at Eso-Won. I just want one photo of that.

I love you.

Yeah, these people are the biggest fucking cry-babies, but because they have a reputation as the “Daddy Party,” they get a constant pass. Drives me insane.

Yeah, kinda sounds like Cruise knew they had a dog on their hands and figured he could force it into something watchable/successful by Cruising all over it, based on most of his career to this point. He was wrong, but I don’t think this one was going to work out either way.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty telling that it was ultimately Adam Silver who swept that cockroach away (and helped give us Steve Ballmer’s incredible dance moves). Which isn’t to suggest that Silver is some paragon of virtue who acted out of sheer altruism, but handling Sterling definitely bolstered his rep.

Oh, god, this would’ve been great, too — but I don’t think Milla is at the “level” they were looking for, in terms of star power. Which is unfortunate, because I think she’s underrated as a performer (check out A Perfect Getaway if you haven’t) and she definitely has the action chops.

Yeah, I always thought Cate Blanchett would’ve knocked that role out of the park, and then her KGB background would’ve been a hell of a lot more believable. Don’t know if Cate would’ve been down for all the stunts, though, who knows.

Hug intros/hellos are the worst, and that I’ve been pretty much forced to embrace (ho ho ho) them is really the only thing I hate about living in Los Angeles. I had to do hug hellos at a sales conference earlier this week. A fucking sales conference! Why do I have to hug these people?

After the Expos became the Nats, the Montreal Canadiens adopted him.

I mean, this is primarily about having powerful companies and people begging him for something, right? It has nothing to do with jobs and/ or skepticism, it’s entirely to do with people groveling (not in the Trump definition of the word, the actual definition).

Nope. Voted “No,” because stopping all construction entirely is just as dumb, and Measure S was primarily pushed by rich people worried about the views from their homes, without a single thought paid to how it would effect things south and east. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t serious issues with the current state…
