Tell that to her throne.

Daenerys is the worst and I hope Cersei sends out Qyburn’s scorpion to blast her off the back of a dragon and lands perfectly on top of the gates to the Red Keep to serve as a warning to all other usurpers.

Don’t worry. We’ll get that feeling back as an 8 seed sacrificial lamb somewhere between 2022 and 2025.

Cashman was fun. I’m a little torn because I did love it, but getting there and back from anywhere in the city unless you were right downtown was a pain in the ass. And anything the new stadium does to alleviate the heat in July/August will be better than Cashman’s halfassed misters. But I’ll definitely miss it.

MiLB is getting in on the grift. Vegas is opening a new stadium this year with predictably higher ticket prices (more than some MLB clubs). Their longstanding Dollar Beer Night promo is now Two Dollar Beer Night.

I can’t believe the bartender didn’t recognize Kojack. 

Are those presents, pretzels, or a present of many fine, gourmet pretzels? Either way, I’m with the baby on this one.

I’m VERY interested in a Universal Monsterverse, but it’s A) gotta be Creature-centric and B) Creature’s gotta be a guy in a fish suit. NO EXCEPTIONS.

At least when they inevitably make Ferris Bueller Clocks In, the scene where he returns to his bedroom 35 years later, it should be a breeze to get Cabaret Voltaire to sign off on the set design.

Wait, so who is sprinkles in this scenario? Are they rainbow or chocolate?

I went into my office bathroom and a guy in the stall had left his wallet and phone on the sink while he was doing his business. So, long story short, I got a new wallet and phone. Not out of greed, mind. TO TEACH HIM A LESSON.
