I can just imagine that Lindsey reaaaalllly sung & danced along whole-heartedly to everyone in attendance when the line “I’m sorry that YOU, seem to be CONFUSED...” came up every time the chorus played. Complete with accusatory finger-pointing.

To me, it just looks tragically rented (like he didn’t even go to a decent place, he just threw something on in 5 minutes after stopping into an Al’s Formal Wear) & it’s not fitted in the least. Baggy doesn’t ever strike me as even being remotely formal, and the legs & arms are both way too loose & long for him. Also,…

We could dedicate a whole new series of posts to how much Highland Park sucks.

That’s Naked *Julia Roberts*, you rom-com plebe.

I'm doing that internet thing where I assume you're a guy, but I find things like that are one small advantage of being a female sports fan. Those kinds of fans of other teams seem to just figure you're a silly girl & don't know any better than to root for whatever team & drop it after a few minutes.

I beg your pardon, but my fey boots are clearly gator skin. *goes back to sipping her soda*

As a Cubs fan, I feel the same way. (Or, if by some miracle we keep that WC spot, there will be some way to Cubs it up & get demolished in the first round.)

As a Born-in-Dallas Cowboys fan, I approve this message.

Speaking of Courtney Barnett, am I the only one who chokes up and/or straight up cries every time she hears “Depreston”? Maybe it's that my grandpa passed recently & my grandma is on her own & the imagery reminds me that someday in the future we'll have her own estate to deal with, and *sigh*, well, there I go again...

Counterpoint: I'm a Texan & I don't get it either. This lady is bonkers.

The only “favor” from any wedding I’ve attended that I still own is a pint glass with their name & wedding date (and a nice little maple leaf, because Canadians) etched into it. During the reception, they were used to drink from the provided kegs of craft beer. (This wedding also had a vast & varied cheese spread…

As a Texan Cubs fan, I keep wanting Kerry in the booth more & more each year. If it ever happens, I'll be *so* damn happy.

That is a goddamn epic life experience. Thank you for sharing, seriously.

SOAK was playing as I came across this post, and it really fits the feel of these photos SO DAMN WELL. Ugh, I love all of this...

I worked phone support for the BlueLight ISP back in 2000. The graveyard shift, at that. Oh my god, the people we’d get... So desperately computer illiterate, even for that time period.

No kidding. If we need to have another “America is so awesome” old-timey tune Grandpa may like, how about something a little more tolerable than that Irving Berlin treacle (let’s just be sure nobody goes with that other piece of Lee Greenwood swill).

Of all the reasons why I love my ever-faltering Cubs, their staunch refusal to bow down to BIG MLB by playing that debbie-downer tune in the middle of a fun game (AND immediately prior to a rousing “yay baseball!” ditty) is a big one, which I’m reminded of any time I catch them playing an Away game (which is almost…

Then it’ll be a good double-excuse to add a 5th star to the municipal flag.

On point #4, Roger & Marie’s whole last scene and then your mention of “how long do you think they stay together?” made me instantly see them sitting in for Seth Green & Lauren Ambrose in the ending bit from “Can’t Hardly Wait”.

If you think some stranger offering to randomly buy your pet is weird, my best friend’s mom was asked out of the blue one day if he was for sale when he was a baby & she was out with him on a walk with the stroller. The man was not joking, but - in addition to it being just pretty fucked up - his offers were pretty…
