Sorry, but no matter how delightful you find this story, are we really going to give him a pass for the unnecessary reference to having his “usual waiter” at Galatoire’s? Not on my watch.

Look, I love Iceland, and I love your post. Really, grade A passion and flow.

Is the stream down, or is it just not available abroad? Why does CBS hate the troops?

Shirt stays are the best, except the Sherman’s Trail of leg hair running from my thighs to my knees. The stirrups don’t keep the shirt tight enough, might as well not even wear them. God I have so many things to say about shirt stays. Someone please kill me.

I find her redemption story (from mocked actress in young adult blockbusters to intelligent, brooding actress who has been getting rave reviews for performances) really compelling for some reason. The trailer for this was genuinely great, and I was shocked by the low scores on rottentomatoes. I really want to go see…

It’s absolutely tremendous in that position, too. God someone really fucked up by pulling it in the first place.

They posted an article about goat racing in Dar es Salaam yesterday. No one complained that the sport wasn’t popular enough to deserve an article, and that’s clearly not the bar used to determine whether a sports story is interesting. This was absolutely riveting sport. Shut the hell up.

Nécib is my queen, and this was a brutal loss. The call sucked, some of the subs were maybe bad choices (unless Thomis was completely exhausted she shouldn't have been taken out), but they did have their chances to avoid PKs. And personally, at least now I don't have to root against my favorite team to watch in the…

This period of tennis is historically bizarre on that front. The 3 most successful men and 2 of the 3 most successful active female players are still the favorites to win events that they first won 8-10+ years ago. It's a combination of racquet tech making the game more physical (thus less of a game for 14-18 year old…

The match made perfect sense in the context of the last 11 months, but it was hard to ignore prior history at the event when making a prediction. When it tightened back up in the first, I think it could have easily gone 5, but Djokovic was so on top of the points today that I think he would have pulled it out no…

All of a sudden Nadal has missed a bunch of forehands down the line and Djokovic has set points. But he can't pull the trigger on them like he can at 15-0.

Monfils could do it even better 1 out of every 4 tries, but the other 3 would involve him stopping mid-point and trying to hit a squash shot winner cross-court and missing by 20 feet.

Good point. On the other hand, Djokovic managing to win the first set after Nadal came back from 0-4 is in contrast to the 2011 final between Federer and Nadal where the same thing happened and Federer allowed Nadal to remain in control. So Novak has something positive going for him re: Nadal's lack of momentum.

Some corporate sponsor (BNP Paribas, Longines?) gives them out to all the fans as free advertising.

Djokovic is killing Nadal’s backhand. But he’s also pretty unsettled for someone who is winning—yelling about court watering, especially. There are a couple amazing shots per game already.

And the Kardashian girls go / do, do do, do, do do do, do do

Yeah, the rest of the world is just sitting back and laughing at us, mocking how progressive our attitudes and laws have become in every state towards trans and gay people. It’s so embarrassing.

Interstellar is perfect, you shut the hell up.

“It’s not just being there, standing there on the courts wearing a nice tie and suit.”

Fair enough about the English, and the background context. I know nothing about his time with any club, but I got sucked into the article and then his statement, and that’s just how it struck me.
