Man, I don't know about that. You can get those guys into shape, but I don't see Ewing's knees or Bird's back holding up for 4 weeks of game-level intensity. That'd be a fun thought experiment for the programmers at EA, though.

+1, even though it feels sort of weird to admit to and agree with that.

Either Gamblor reads at a level way below his age, or he's got a good memory for children's books. Either way, I applaud the Matt Christopher reference.

You had me right up until "musty apple edge." "Musty" is really not something I like to associate with anything that's about to get in my belly.

I wonder if you have a silicon spider rather than plastic and that's how it survives the hot-oil dunking.

Everyone knows that you go to Hoopeston for a sweetcorn festival. Jesus.

US contracts can be valid for as long as the parties feel the conditions that led to the contract will still be favorable to them. Hockey players are starting to sign 10-12 year contracts, so a "lifetime" contract wouldn't necessarily be invalid based simply on the length. Now, if NBC didn't give Pardo the right to…

It may not be worth the trip just for a brown ale, but it's probably a better drive than having to go all the way to Montana.

You only have to come as far as Chicago for Moose Drool. It has pretty decent distribution here.

Jesus Murphy, Glenn Robinson III is a rookie? That makes me feel almost as old as the realization that Marlon Wayans has a kid old enough to headline a movie.

I can never remember, especially when I need the answer to get into a secret lair in a joint where the Cannibal Corpses are playing.

If you're going to spend all that time cutting your bagel you're going to have to save time somewhere. Having to clean one knife instead of two is one way to do that, but a better way would be to not cut the bagel at all and just dredge the topping out of its little tub with the edge of the bagel.

Don't feel too bad. You're not the only one that complained about the host omitting something that was clearly in the post.
