These are all great dogs (& Mexico City is awesome, even after my wallet/phone was pick-pocketed on subway there). I look forward to many more dog stories, although if they were written as the dogs themselves that could be a novel way of adding content. I’d also be interested if you were to go to restaurants with a…

It seems to me that you’re missing a shower and a snowglobe.

That was my first thought to. About the right time with Stormfront appearing this season.

Best solution I’ve seen was at last year’s Miami Open. The morning was a Men’s semi-final, you sat in the seat you were assigned because the stadium was full. In the afternoon, it was Women’s Doubles and most of the crowd had bailed. You basically had open seating, (we moved from nose-bleeds in the upper bleachers to…

Yep.

I breezed through everything in this post, because it was mostly filled with shows I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about, but Morty being a “nephew” makes me want to beat this reporter with a stick...

Admittedly, I’m a lib-tard from Chicago (even worse Hyde Park), but Northern Wisconsin has as many rednecks as anyplace I’ve every had the misfortune of passing through (and I worked in Mississippi for 1/2 a year.) It’s not just Trump-country, it is the reason Wisconsin continues to elect local leaders who shit all…

People are assholes is why. Vader/stormtrooper cosplay. Confederate Civil War reinactors. The list is endless.

I think he’s a rightie, so passing the dutchie might not be a strength.

Corvette Summer is wildly underrated.

Hey, I like my $10 second row bleacher seats in July and August. Don’t go trying to take away my cheap seats by actually trying to field a winning team...

The Morgan Library in NYC has a current exhibition on Tolkien. I saw it last Friday and highly recommend it to anyone who would like to understand the life and creative output of J.R.R. - https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/tolkien

This first time I saw this show during its first season I was disgusted by its lack of understanding of science, genius, and simple human interactions by people from academic settings. Being genius level smart while being socially introverted are real issues in many of the places I’ve worked; Fermilab, UChicago,…

Clearly things are a brew-ing...

I read this as well and I think it adds a lot to the underlying story of Rey becoming a fairly skilled opponent so quickly. I admittedly think most of the movie (& the novelization) is trash though so I’m not set on giving the film the benefit of other’s doubts here.

As a fellow Marriott I approve.

I’m shocked you can’t pull off a $2 bill (Jefferson) from the stash I know you have hiding in the coffee can in the basement...

So how many lives have been “saved” by easy access to guns? If it is more than 10% of total annual gun deaths I would be shocked. I expect it to be about in the 1-3% range. The argument for easy gun ownership simply don’t pass the sniff test.

You are completely right. Lambrusco over ice and fried gizzards are the top of my list when the wife/kid are out of the house for the night/weekend. The slight hangover the next day is not that great though...

That said, Orion, as in Orion Samuelson it a goddamned national (or at least midwestern) treasure.
