I will name my battleship the Donnager, and name my frigate the Tachi. Then, later on, I will rename the frigate the Rocinante.

Still live in Manassas about a 20 minute drive away, when I was a kid my mom worked for them part time as an usher when they were the Cannons and got me in for free on Friday nights. I thought it was the greatest.

I was not ready for this nostalgia bomb. Grew up 10 miles from there. When I was in high school it was a great place to pay 5 bucks to not watch a game while my friends and I feebly tried to flirt with the girls working the concessions stands.

TI-83 support coming this Fall.

I like these recent “did you know?” posts.  Next, do one on how there seems to be an infinite number of ways to access Reverse on a stick shift car.  Do you press down and out?  Just press down and up?  In and up?  Why so many variations?

This is unreal. I live in the US. I don’t have cable. The year is 2018, and I cannot watch the official feed with commentary online without resorting to VPN or piracy. What a clusterfuck. AGAIN.

Wrong. I’m an assistant football coach for a private school, and I can’t tell you how easy it is to recognize teams that recruit and are able to give financial incentives to their players. And when those teams smell blood off of a big hit or big play, they just play even harder, further exacerbating the skill and size…

Just want to say I appreciate all of you early adopters for working through the bugs and issues. Can’t wait to sign up next year.

I too was ready to pay for this. I wouldn’t have even thought it through. I had my credit card out and everything!

FUUUUUUUK

It’s so bad! I don’t mind the commentary team we have, but then the broadcast gets interrupted by a zillion commercials and it’s the worst.

We’ve got a couple of big brand-name no-haggle used car dealerships in town (not CarMax but they work the same way).

Use a stovetop popper to make popcorn with coconut oil. Trust me, it’s fucking mint.

3rd Gear: Would LOVE to! But guess what, they aren’t fucking available for my car yet and better, no availability date is provided. Fuck you Takata.

Let’s say, hypothetically, I were to put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff’s car, and slash the deputy’s tires so they don’t get very far when they finally get the word that there’s a been a hold-up? Uh huh?

As a broadcast professional with over 20 years in the business I can tell you with some modicum of experience that this will be a shitshow. Will I watch? You bet.

Are they making LotR/Hobbit crossover episode?

Obligatory George Berger comic:

Massachusetts license plate. Holyfucksticks are they terrible.

A job is just a job. Doesn’t mean the guy wakes up every morning to be possessed by the spirit of the Volkswagen brand. And anyway “some guy at a dealership” is definitely not necessarily in PR.
