At first I thought the "imaginary hike" sign was there because the patients wouldn't remember whether they'd actually gone on the hike. That seemed hilarious. Then I realized that one of the effects of later-stage Alzheimer's is the loss of mobility, so the sign turned into the equivalent of watching a really boring…

Denver is on the west coast now? When did that happen and why am I always the last one to know?

I'm honestly surprised the Bears only came in at #3 for most quarterbacks used to start games since 1999. And that with only two years in that whole "era" where the Week 1 QB lasted the whole season.

In somewhat the same vein as the commenter who asked about determining whether a boxer broke a bone in his face, how does one know (or strongly suspect) that a boxer has broken a bone in his hand? He just stops throwing punches with that hand for the rest of the round?

Bone removal, for the unacquainted, is the single most infuriating activity a human being can undertake other than viewing any random three-second stretch of

As one of those people that has been forced to pass people in races in the past, I'd just like to throw a little hate towards those groups of friends that want to run the race together and insist on taking up as much of the road as they possibly can. Really, folks? You need to run four abreast like that? You really…

And this is why, as a member of the Marching Illini, I hated that student section. Buncha frat-boy fair-weather fans that only showed up to get a decent seat (they used to sit between the 25 and 30 yard lines).

Wouldn't you? Some guy shanks it a little and blasts one into your groin instead of a beautiful bend like this and you'd wish you were protecting your sack.

While I'm old enough to remember having to type this (and old enough to have played this game), I don't remember the point of the numbers after the "load" command. Anyone care to remind me?

If you get that picture from the Brooklyn/Washington game again, just adjust the vertical hold. Should fix you right up.

Hey, fair enough. Like I said, I was giving a rough estimate.

Wrigley Field, as the crow flies, is probably between 4 and 5 miles from the city center (which for this response I'm considering State and Madison; the actual "zero point" for the city is a bit to the southwest of that intersection). US Cellular Field is something like 6 miles from the city center.

Could I be a passenger for this test drive instead of that Toyota commercial?

Oh, yes. A sausage stand in Chicago cooks their french fries in duck fat on the weekends. Holy hell are they tasty.

My mom used to fry thick potato slices in bacon grease to go with burgers. That's some damn tasty stuff right there.

I know I shouldn't feel this way, but every time I see Tom Hiddleston not dressed as Loki I think he looks weird. He just looks like he should have long hair.

You think "after work" begins at 4:00? Wish I had your job...

I must be doing it wrong, then. I run that path all the time but never when the super-hot women are out. I only see them at races for some reason.

Yeah, it definitely gets better after Labor Day.

That's almost as much fun as trying to navigate the lakefront path. Between the pedestrians either walking 12 abreast or having a conversation while standing on the dividing line and the guys getting in their triathlon speedwork, it's a real treat trying to use that path as a form of simple transportation.
