I guess at Deadspin HQ you can watch sports at your desk and then go home at 5:30 or whatever and be roughly on time.

It didn’t last very long, so I think it kinda fizzled. I don’t remember much (it was nearly 20 years ago) but the tone was markedly different and they cut at least half of the plots.

Ppl forget that Bond (especially book Bond) is a raging alcoholic who would probably drink turpentine.

Back in the 90's when the show Ally McBeal was popular, they made a half-hour spin off version called Ally and the episodes aired I think the same week as the main show. It was basically a sitcom version of the main show, remixing the original episode and cutting out all the courtroom stuff.

It’s fine! But its the kind of beer you think is awesome when you’re on vacation in Jamaica but then you have some back home and you’re like, “that’s it?”

Man, there was a time when Heineken and Corona where the go-to prestige beers for a certain breed of yuppie. Picture a mid-90's lower Manhattan bar and all the Wall Street types are drinking Heineken and Corona or maybe standard Michelob (remember that?!)

Speaking of fools judging places based on their extremely limited experience in tightly-restricted bubbles, here’s candidate Trump condemning the US based on a handful of airports:

My first (very used) car was a 93 929. Basically the car above with about 40% more early 90's Ford Taurus looks.

Hahahahahaha, “brief” is key. I’ll make an exception for drunken celebrity train wrecks. They can take as much time as they want.

The thing is though that, yeah, “choice” and all that, but I’m ok with the lobbying (*sigh*, fine, bribery) here because big dairy was right. Butter is good and margarine blows.

You see this is exactly the problem. The whole concept that people need to grab the spotlight and make a big statement. Not that they simply “may”, but that they “must”. Don’t get me wrong, I support #oscarssowhite and #metoo and all that. But the idea that EVERYONE needs to address the cause celebre is absurd. For

Now playing

Hockey officials are chill, but they break up fights and I bet they could throw hands if need be.

Do you really want a deep award show speech? I can remember two awards-show speeches off the top of my head, one is Sally Field’s “you really like me” and the other is the famous Clooney “smug” speech. I’ll take impassioned but superficial and hopefully brief every time.

Solid choices for next season. The current cast has been stone-cold amazing, I’m hoping there’s a flashback or something so they can get the old band back together.

The casting in royal historical dramas, like the royals themselves, is notoriously incestuous.

My dad had the sedan version. He put over 300k miles on it and it was still going strong when he sold it.

Trivial to implement, but they’d still charge you 50 bucks for the service.

*Whispers*

It wasn’t exactly the Godfather or anything, but it had magical animals, chases, and explosions (probably? can’t remember) so it was officially Good Enough for Me. 

PAGING ZMF. IT WORKS, GET THE DEAL.
