I love books (or any media, really) that is filled with weird minutia. That’s why I consistently come back to “The Jackal.”

I used to work night audit at a large hotel/conference center. The conference area was well off from the front desk, and the overnight security guards would usually spend a good amount of time there just fucking around on their phones. One night, one of the guards (Joe) and I decided to prank the very superstitious…

The thing with Goldberg was he was the antidote to the overbooked, nWo ruled WCW. He was silent, didn’t fuck around, and had an actual aura. Like all things WCW though, it couldn’t last beyond it’s initial premise.

Most of the folks I work with are in recovery, and I always tell them that it’s not a straight road. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment plan, and it’s often frustrating and relapses definitely do happen. The important thing is to be non-judgmental and supportive while at the same time pushing them to keep on…

That is, like, 10,000% wrong. On all levels. This isn’t even a third graders level of understanding of the First Amendment. This is a total misunderstanding of the rights of free speech and limitations on those rights.

The Pelicans basically own the next 7 Lakers drafts, with the picks and swaps, and when you’re looking at the legitimate prospect of having Mo Wagner start at the 5, that’s a bad sign. They sold the house for AD because of the angst surrounding Lebron and Rich Paul. The only upside to this is that both Klay and KD are…

Eexactly. You always announce your position in a kitchen, especially if you're coming up behind somebody. Good save, but his fault.

Yeah, Drake reminds me of those basketball fans who think that because they’re so close to the action they can insert themselves into the game. Cheer, jeer, support your team...but once you start thinking you’re a member of that team you start to forget that these people are doing a job and don’t need you being a…

Never. We are a country that loves violence above all else, and those that cling jealously to their firearms are just waiting with baited breath for the day they can use them. We may collectively abhor mass shootings, but the cost of actually working towards resolving the issue is too much for those with the power…

My mom once played that on Words with Friends and I was absolutely horrified. She tried to play if off as her just putting in anything and seeing if it works, but I knew. And now i can't forget.

La Croix tastes like balsa wood and a strong breeze that blows dirt in your mouth. I was out of soda once and asked my roommate for one of his; shit burned when I drank it. 

I'm from Albuquerque and have met people from Arizona who have to take a second when I tell them I'm from New Mexico. When I moved to Vermont a few people asked me if I speak Spanish or needed a passport to get there. 

I hate (HATE!!!) fighting over aisle space and the mad dash to the exit, so I always try my best to book the last row window seat. I'd much rather be the last person in/out and be comfortable than in the middle of that madness. 

Ccounterpoint: sure as fuck is.

I lived in Orem for a while and would make weekly trips down to SLC on the FrontRunner. It’s a very cool town with lots of good eating and a surprisingly large amount of good beer. But fuck anybody who says Utah streets are easy to figure out because they’re all numbered. That’s a fib.

I liked them with I was kid, but they both turned into their dad: a right-winger who who drivers a lifted truck, chews tobacco, and have the sort of politics that usually ends with “...I thought this was America.” Everytime I meet their kids I think of that Maria Bamford bit about going to art class with kids names…

I get a bunch of pointed comments about how my similar-aged cousins are now all married, buying houses, and having kids and they are just SO GODDAMNED HAPPY!!! I'm fine eating my Hot Pockets and chips out of a Tupperware on my bed at 2am, thanks. 

Michael Keaton is the best Batman. He's the only one to accurately portray the necessary insane side of Bruce Wayne, instead of just being a hunky tortured soul who can murder you with a pinky.

“You know west? Can we go, like, more west?"

Cody has said that he's not looking to compete directly with WWE, but wants to offer fans a domestic alternative. I don't think they're going to go the WCW route and try to match Vince blow for blow, but I do think they'll siphon off fans who want solid, actual wrestling combined with any sort of storyline.
