By being the second team go winless on the season?

I think you just suck at it. I’ve seen this on the beaches in Chicago all summer and the people that use it don’t seem to need to reinflate it. For $40, I’d consider buying one; it looks way more portable than a full-on chair of any sort.

I’m guessing that the Mongolian beer is pronounced “Zhalat,” but that’s running on the assumption that the name is in Cyrillic.

Have you been to a fast-food restaurant ever in your life? The number of people “on the wrong side of 30" (to use a phrase from the linked article) working behind the counter might max out at 2 at any given time.

When did oil become a “tool?”

Double Dribble or GTFO. There’s nothing like a totally legitimate goaltending on the last shot of the game.

I’m the only one of our friend group who has yet to tie the knot with my girlfriend.

Got that a lot in my 20's. It amazed me how many people assumed that I either had a religious reason for not drinking or that I was (already) a recovering alcoholic. I just didn’t like beer yet and was generally too poor to pay for spirits at the bar.

Hey, Little Caesar’s idea to have basic versions of their shitty pizza available for immediate purchase and consumption was definitely a not-bad idea.

Give the kid time. A number of people in my family started out not liking pizza as young children and came around to the proper way of thinking.

This picture makes me want to vomit.

I could be wrong, but my impression about Mad Men and Breaking Bad is that they were exceptions to the general framework of a network drama. Police procedurals still abuse the formula heavily, and even something like Person of Interest used it to a large extent.

Which to me makes it harder to develop a plausible “monster/bad-guy of the week” story if you have to devote some portion of your 43 minutes to advancing the overarching story while still coming up with something that will be wrapped up in one episode.

The current runtime for an hour-long drama in the US is 43 minutes, so I’m not sure you can blame shitty writing on the amount of available screen time.

He probably spent some time with the Jaguars in the off-season.

Considering the nine kinds of hell that dogs can unleash from their butts, I’m not sure this plan is all that viable.

Hey, don’t knock “the Sipowicz!”

I’m not saying that at all. I realize that there are many, many more people that go to law school and become lawyers than there are single-A ballplayers who make it to the majors. I am saying that law school attendance is no guarantee of becoming a lawyer or even a licensed attorney.

Well, going to law school doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have a career, much less a well-paying career, as a lawyer. Aside from that argument that a law-school graduate has more marketable skills than the career minor-league baseball player, I’d say the gamble in the early years is probably pretty close between the two.

Why on God’s green Earth did Snyder put both the pro and collegiate three-point lines on his backyard court?
