Other than all the Confederate monuments, it’s pretty nice there. Also, Monticello is nearby.  

Season 5 of NewsRadio pulled in around 9 million viewers...that made it the 77th most-watched show in ‘98-’99.

I saw them perform a few times back in their heyday and they weren’t that great as a live act. I’m going on the assumption that they aren’t any better now.

The pronunciation of “home” is a dead giveaway too.

Still waiting for the V40 to head this way. Had one as a rental in Norway and loved it.

I’m not crying you’re crying!

That is an excellent summation of the LDS afterlife!

Am I the only one that thinks that electing law-enforcement officials is a terrible idea that’s outlived its usefulness? Aren’t there better ways to hold law enforcement accountable to the community?

Huh. I mostly listened to metal and New Wave when I was in my teens but now I mostly listen to myself sobbing over the terrible listening choices I made when I was young.

“Jazz serves a cultural function in the music scene. It is a signifier for musical “adulthood.” To embrace jazz is to don a kind of graduation cap, signifying a broadening of tastes outside “mere” rock music. This ostentatious display of “sophistication” is an insult, and I find the graduation cappers transparent…

It’s one of the problems that I had with the books (which I enjoyed).

I once received a bindle of cocaine from a customer who only wanted his water glass to be kept full and for someone to listen to his incessant chatter. Go figure.

Some maniac probably called to report that Gronk’s 6th Super Bowl ring was stolen.

A buddy of mine was a border patrol agent back in the 90's. When he’d talk about his work he said it was mostly drug interdiction and rescue operations. He had real compassion for these folks who were willing to walk through the desert with a couple of gallons of water for the chance at a better life. There was no joy…

Sometimes New Yorkers move to other places and write column after column about how their new home should be more like their old home. Lookin’ at you Matthew Yglesias.

I went to New Orleans with a flight-adverse buddy. He used the Xanax/bourbon combo to get over his flight anxiety and was cool as a cucubmer...when he wasn’t asleep that is. Don’t know what Florida Man was taking but it sure doesn’t sound like Xanax.

She’s also a member of the Church of Scientology. The group that, you know, used to force women who worked for the church to get abortions.

Please tell me the official mascot of the Saskatchewan Rush is a guy in a Geddy Lee costume.

I will always refer to that game as Space Chess.
