Captain America, in the first and signally shitty movie, is played by J.D. Salinger’s son. America is an amazing country. 

Top discovery of 2018: James Crumley’s detective novels. He never really broke through in America, but he evidently used to be “Big in Japan.” Imagine if Hunter S. Thompson wrote high quality crime fiction, and that will give you an idea of Crumley’s awesomeness.

Willie Mays is clearly the best center fielder of all time. There’s not even really a discussion about that, is there? 

I think the greys, and we are legion, should band together and only star grey comments.

Fair point, boss. Go GATORS. 

Now he needs to apologize for saying, “Shouldn’t have did.”

I taught ESOL in the Prague for a few years after college, and at that time you could get a half-liter of beer for the equivalent of 50 cents. I gained 40 pounds while living there.

“...and the fact that its humor came from characters grappling with the angst of having an unfulfilling job rather than, well, just appreciating that they had stable employment at all.”

So happy to hear this about Mad. It was the first magazine subscription I ever had, and probably the best one. 

The NYRB Classics series is a national treasure. I’ve read about ten of them, and they’ve been uniformly incredible. You could write a column that focuses on those titles exclusively, and IT would be amazing. 

I lived in Prague for a few years after college, and my favorite place to take visitors was the National Technical Museum—which sounds horribly boring, but is actually a blast. It’s fully of crazy prototype automobiles and unusual airplanes, and weird ephemera from Czechoslovakia’s early 20th century heyday as a…

The handicapped stall is “accessible”, not “reserved” like a parking space. We need to recognize the difference. 

It’s interesting that Sarah Jeong can be considered a “minority” when Asians make up 60% of the world’s population. 

You, for president. 

I would never in a million years have expected to see a statement like yours in a forum like this. Very well done, sir. 

The standard answer generally is that “it hasn’t been tried properly.” The standard answer on this site is that you’re in the greys, not part of the hive-mind, and your thoughts are therefore irrelevant.

I wonder what Harbaugh will have to say about Jim McElwain’s compulsive Chiclets habit. Wait—those aren’t Chiclets?

What about Droopy Dog? Sufferin’ succotash!

This is going to be a minority opinion that will likely get me shat upon and referred to as a troll from “the greys”— but Craig Kilborn’s Daily Show made me laugh harder and more consistently than Jon Stewart’s. Five Questions was absolutely reliably goddamn hilarious. 

Taking a little break from the victimhood shit with a dose of humor today, huh? I mean, it’s still your usual victimhood shit, but at least it’s funny.
