I had literally never thought about this weird dichotomy until just now. But yes, I suspect that you’re correct and therefore I have to remove myself from civilisation and go howl at the moon on a remote mountaintop

I know PJ O’Rourke is an asshole, but I stand by his line from “The bachelor Home Companion”: “You’ll have to excuse the way everything looks, I’m psychotic”

My problem is that my friends, co-workers and family all like my SO better than they like me so I’m tempted to let her go to all those gatherings and leave me at home with the cat.

Oddly, I’ve realised that I’ve always said N.E.S. for that console and “Snezz” for the Super Nintendo...

How many old white dudes and/or Ray Lewis will be demanding to be taken out of the HOF if wunna dem kneelin’ commie bastuds get in? It’ll be the Beatles MBE all over again. I can almost hear Bayless’ taeks now...

Oh gawd.... I just thought of all the takes and thinkpieces that will dribble out if and when someone who took a knee comes up for induction. 

Couple of points, Dave (and great article BTW): the Cork local GAA board were happy to let the the game go ahead but were overruled from above. Cork people being immensely proud of their city and folk, they’ve rallied around the charity and the GAA are getting shredded over this.

Oh, well done.

The original article manages to mangle “Do not go gentle into that good night” to the extent that poor Dylan is on a spun cycle. And 'hoards’ for 'hordes'. 

Dangit, Chris, when are you doing another Foodspin? I couldn’t sleep last night so looked up some old ones on me phone... and woke my girlfriend up because I was cackling so hard at the “let’s make salsa that sends our asses to hell” article.

This is the best idea I’ve heard in a long, long time. 

Good skills.

I blame John Steinbeck. One of the characters in Sweet Thursday did exactly this.

Per the Grauniad, Corbyn is going to speak at the anti-cheeto rally later. About time, Jezza. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2018/jul/13/trump-trashes-mays-brexit-plans-and-hails-boris-johnson-as-future-pm-live

My old home town is doing itself proud with the demonatrations taking place. The Graun has a nice running commentary on what’s going on on their website

the Grauniad shared a tweet from Hunter Walker about the rest of the press corps backing Fox up in 2009 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2018/jul/13/trump-trashes-mays-brexit-plans-and-hails-boris-johnson-as-future-pm-live

I’ve been reading the Graun’s live updates and my jaw is on the floor. My estimation for May would have gone up at least 5% if she’d grabbed his tiny hand, looked him in the eye and called him a lying bollocks to his orange face in front of the cameras. No such luck. 

Well played

I agree completely. They don’t need to, either. Bryant/Russell/Baez cover his positions. If he’s available next year? Sure. 

Yup. No argument here. I don’t think the Cubs are all that seriously chasing him. Plus, if their interest is rumoured it could well up the asking price for a rental.
