Okay I will admit I had to look up what Slytherin was — But I coulda asked my wife — At this point I say Lets be friends! I look forward to fighting with you again — (tips hat)

" I just really dislike internet critics who can't argue their way out of a wet paperback book on Socrates." And how would one argue their way out of a paperback book on Socrates? (I ask using the Socratic method)

Yeah you totally got me there.

um... can you not tell that I am just messing with you at this point? But I really appreciate your nuanced reply. There is nothing wrong with liking the Hobbit but I am not sure what a Hobbit hole is and if that is something you do for kicks then that definitely adds "depth" to the conversation.

"It's just that the jazz faithful have largely preferred Miles Davis in Prince of Darkness mode to his later showboating incarnations"

Wow you need a lot of context don't you — To me it was like reading a story about cooking a steak written by someone who had never cooked one. Some info matters in order to write a good story. If you have never read an article by a person who was knowledgable let me encourage you to try it. My replies don't count so…

Thanks for the reply — I see jazz getting a lot of respect domestically. The lincoln Center showcases Jazz and it is doing better than ever while the Symphony in NYC appears to be about to go bankrupt.

FWIW Duke Ellington sold as many if not more records than anyone. When he was in his prime he was one of the top…

You make some good points. I remember playing with a jazz band at one of my shows a long time ago. I tried to make conversation with the sax player and I walked away thinking that it was interesting to interact with someone who played music but could care less about the whole "cool" aesthetic that is so important to…

Okay that was a bizarre waste of time. You talk about such a small part of jazz — and you do it with such a poor sense of humor.

Jazz is fine and maybe you should stop judging it by the standards set for artists like Justin Beiber. I am not sure what you want Jazz to be but making it more like the music you like is…

Of course he is wearing Beats.

Yeah Stephen Covey is worthless. Guy is probably still trying to sell people that stupid notebook thing they were trying to push on me way back in the day.

I live in Knoxville and she is not the hottest weather girl by a long shot. Jus Sayin'

I also live in TN and I understand that it offends people so I would never display it. If you want to represent learn to play bluegrass or do something of value to preserve southern culture. To act like this backwards rag is the only way to respect ones heritage is fucking laughable. And finally —- Aligning yourself…

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Agreed. And it is worth paying attention to the fact hat these guys haven't seen the post season in 5 years. So to defend this behavior or even try to mitigate it as if it has any value at all with regard to team building etc doesn't make any sense. It is how losers act.

I disapprove of her thuggish behavior —- Richard Sherman

I agree with you regarding keeping perspective on this but when I look at those pictures I think how devastating a bomb like the ones used at the Boston Marathon would be with so many people packed in like sardines waiting to enter security.

ESPN: He is a great athelete!

"Float like a butterfly sting like a bee - the only person who can smack talk after winning is me" — Muhammad Ali

I really feel for this guy.

You don't expect to end up paralyzed after weight lifting. Even after Crossfit.

Um... calm down man. I totally agree that the owner doesn't matter if they are winning. I was replying to the thread which said they were in good hands re the mgmt. We gave our opinions relating to it and that was that.

Be germane to the topic at hand? — first off nice use of the word germane in a sentence. But you…
