Well, I guess the budget’s a little more out of whack now.

Just because somebody is good at something does not necessarily mean that they have the skills to be a leader. And that’s OK. It’s quite possible that certain people aren’t meant to be leaders and I’m not sure why they should be denigrated for not being something that they’re not good at.

That’s because the textbooks only go up until the end of WWII (I’m only partially kidding).

The Alamo and Maine are both shuffling off sadly, shaking their respective heads.

I usually like what Sherman has to say. He’s generally thoughtful and willing to speak his mind in a profession where most of his co-workers are loathe to do so.

I think one of the big reasons this is happening more (besides the anonymity of the internet), is that people desperately need to feel like they matter in some way. It used to be that people found meaning in their life through religion or their jobs, but those have both, for the most part, fallen by the wayside.

So…

Yes, we hate turning on the TV and seeing players kneeling during the national anthem. Or not standing. Or whatever new form of disrespect they happen to be showing. THAT’S why TV ratings are down.

So an octopus can unscrew a jar from the inside. Big deal.

Settlers of Catan is one of those wonderful games that rewards people who decide that “playing like an a-hole” is how they approach board games with friends.

Pandemic should be much further up the list and, while I’ve only played it once, Betrayal at House on the Hill is outstanding fun.

All 30 teams play on Thursday and Saturday, but 12 get the day off on Friday and six don’t play on Sunday. I didn’t check to see if there’s any overlap between the teams who don’t play on Friday and those who don’t play on Sunday (because that’s, you know, work), but I’m guessing there isn’t.

Ignore the monuments being blown up. Ignore then fighter pilot turning into a cheerleader. The craziest part of that promo was how many times they show Lions players (and in a positive way! Not just Lions cornerbacks getting burned for touchdowns!)

The Big Scumdamental

UghNot isn’t calling the wife an un-supportive nag. He said that OoT is painting her that way. I think, as others have said, it’s pretty clear that OoT actually wants out but he’s basically incapable of supporting himself (or at least he hasn’t been capable in the past), and he’s so immature that he can’t admit that…

I don’t think that the beginning of Up is necessarily sadder, but there’s something much more poignant and wistful about it because their dreams don’t really get shattered (except the “not being able to have kids” part, which is the exact opposite of the feel good movie of the summer).

The fact that these are made in China is really too perfect.

Hmmm I wonder why that could possibly be...

Did the right fielder just not show up for the game today? I was wondering how a guy could score from first on a ball thrown into the outfield, but it made more sense when I found out that Pittsburgh, always trying to save some money, thought they could just play two outfielders and call it good.

As long as they don’t disrespect mah Lettah Opener of Death, I’m OK.

A better analogy would be me inviting you over to my house and then taking a dump in the chair you’re about to sit in. And there are no other chairs. And I then force you to sit down.
