I’ve heard of shotgun weddings, but never Python weddings. How scared shitless was the groom?

Disappointed that The Limerick Leader didn’t summarize it as a limerick.

You hinted at where I think Mr. Simmons will land next: as a member of Mr. Carolla’s podcast team. They are close friends and I could easily see Adam giving Bill the creative freedom to do whatever he wants to talk about.

The bigger problem is that ESPN’s philosophy of not wanting their on-air talent to be “superstars” is consistently backfiring, whether it’s Simmons, Cowherd, Olbermann, Berman, Smith, Bayless, Witlock, or even the recently departed Scott. Their on-air talent will always be recognized as superstars even if only a few…

Getting fired by ESPN answers the whole “do Simmons/ESPN need each other?”

Very good to hear. Thank you.

It is true that direct carbon dioxide measurements only go back to the 1960’s, which would make it 56 years worth of quantifiable data. Beyond that, other measurements have been used with pretty good accuracy, whether we’re talking ice core samples, tree rings, even pond floor dirt samples can be used. All of it is…

Monday’s comic about the “Degree-Off” was better. (Alt Text: I’m Sorry, From Your Years of Condescending Towards the ‘Squishy Sciences’, I assumed you’d be a little harder.)

Give Wexler the money to legally change his name when he turns 18.

I would have put “Getting Hit by a Car” between 3 & 4, and also added “Driving in a Car” since that’s also very soothing.

I wish my high school had its own swimming pool.

Oh, Canada...

You’re on to something. For the longest time, it seems to me that the American “solution” to the abortion debate has been abortion okay for the first trimester, but the mother is on her own for the last two trimesters. (That has changed, obviously.) And I think it’s because the photographs of fetuses shifted the…

We have gone from the industrial age to the information age to now the “internet of things” age, which isn’t just infrastructure, but a whole lot of other physical things. (Like Nike or Under Armor “athletic wear”, for instance.)

As I’m looking for a new computer, these “small PCs” are something I’m very interested in. Look forward to your final recommendation!

So it’s really not for college kids and divorced men?

I like the fact that he can keep an eye on his car while building Legos with his kids.

It hadn’t occurred to me that they had such terrible luck at developing non-video game stuff in the 80’s and 90’s that they’re now gun-shy about letting anyone other than themselves use their intellectual properties. I think this may solidify my belief that they want complete content control of all their possessions,…

I can totally see this concept working in Portland, OR and Los Angeles. (Not sure if Seattle or San Francisco is as wild for Hello Kitty as the other two west coast cities are. Pretty certain San Diego isn’t.)

I’m disappointed she’s not wielding a sword.
