There is no way anyone could ever describe licensing a pre-existing facility as “building their own field.”

It is not. They donated funds for improving a a pre-existing public facility and licensed that facility. They certainly did not build their own field.

I’m of a similar age and my dedicated stoner friend from college swears by this gear when stealth, quickness, and convenience are required.

Hi, person with editing experience here. The answer to your grammar question is: you rewrite the sentence so you don’t have to think about it. 

I think Sprint has the worst commercials.

He means the latter. Drew has already talked about how he breaks spaghetti in half before he boils it, and wrote about making pasta carbonara last year. So he’s definitely gotten pasta from a box and boiled it.

Don’t even get me started on trailer trailers. And trailer release dates, like what happened with the Star Wars one the other day. 

Fuck these guys and as we all said the last time, let them build their own field.

As a DC resident I can confirm that this dude is one of the most evil motherfuckers ever — he double parks everywhere because the DC counil give themselves special tags to pre-empt tickets. What a fucker.

Yeah, you’re right. I should have said something like those Alka Seltzer “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” commercials. It’s all a blur.

It’s fairly common in restaurants and bars. The purpose of the ice is to keep the smell down by watering down the pee, works pretty well actually.

Yeah: urinals stink because nobody ever flushes them. The ice melting is a slow, constant flush.

“Where’s the Beef?” is such a pure product of the 1980s.

before the baby was born I had some pot two or three times a week 

Commercials are WAY better than they used to be. Take a spin around YouTube and look for commercials in the late ‘60s/early 1970s. A) They would sometime go for a full minute and the pacing was horribly slow. The commercial would end with the camera just pointed at the product for what seemed like 30 of the 60…

Yeah, like AUTOPLAY ADS IN ARTICLES WITH A VIDEO.

Also, Jack Evans once called him to berate him for writing that Nationals Park was being built with public funds; the dumbass argument Evans made repeatedly during his phone tirade was that all the money used to build the stadium, a tab that eventually hit about $1 billion, would come from new taxes implemented…

I still have the old school dugout/pinch-hitter like I used in college (I just turned 55). Works great when I’m doing a couple of one-ies while out for a walk.

Oh, and movie trailers are better now, too.

Making your own crackers is such a cracker thing to do
