You know when you’re chugging something out of a bottle and your lips get suctioned? Same idea, only this is an actual thing some people do to inflate their lips. It’s damaging, however. Doing a Google image search for “lip suction” shows some of the worse results.

That color looks lovely on her.

People really suck sometimes.

Unlike Favre, Peyton was quietly laying the groundwork for his talking-headdom retirement for years. Unicorn blood can only keep Terry Bradshaw’s face from falling off his skull for so long, and Peyton’s football analyst cred is pretty solid. The only question mark was if people would like watching him, and that…

Great response — it is nerve-wracking to sign your own name, then sign your friend’s name while trying to use different handwriting, and then sign a third name for someone who doesn’t even take the class (to throw off the professor), all while you’re hoping nobody notices

Having a buddy sign you in? I went to a tiny university for my undergrad degree and only attended law school at a large state university so I don’t have a ton of experience in auditorium-seating classes. Still, in some of my larger classes during law school, this was an issue. Every semester or so, some poor sap would…

Many possibilities: Manning skips the class and has a friend sign him in (some professors pass around sign-in sheets, which is of course ridiculous), or he signed somebody else’s name, or he just skipped class altogether and tried to alter the professor’s grade-book.

I'd argue that's more the institution committing academic fraud, not just Peyton specifically.

I think my favorite part of all this Manning drama is that the networks are afraid to report on it much since they all want to hire him as a broadcaster.

Fourth Circuit 4 Lyfe — Technically Correct 4 Lyfe

Sure, it sounds like SB Nation has put its longform program on hiatus and, for all intents and purposes, actually enacted this plan, but maybe that’s what longform wanted.

Good point—we’re on the same page.

Agreed. I simply didn’t want non-lawyers to think that federal judges have unrestricted discretion to disregard the guidelines. The days of downward departures of seven levels - which I once saw a cooperating witness receive - are long gone.

OK but the guidelines were mandatory up until 2005 when the Supreme Court struck that part and made them advisory. So, they aren’t being too insane in thinking that.

Same. It would lead to just months, if not years, of uncertainty, sadness, and emotional rollercoastering, over something that probably didn’t mean anything and was not going to happen again.

If your partner already suspects something. People can get a funny sixth senses about these things. If your partner already fears the worst, fess up.

I’ve been on this earth for 29 years and I’ve come to the conclusion that most people rather not know the truth. Despite the fact people say they want a honest partner, they want the truth when it’s convenient.

There is literally no excuse anymore to write, or especially to accept, a personal bank draft, unless maybe you're sending money through the mail. But when is that the only option either? Thanks for the paper promise and the cute memo and the three day wait, but I’ll take the actual money right now in any one of a…

And while you’re at it, get off my lawn!
