* even with 10-1 on “other.” Hound should be -700/Mountain +500/Draw +1100. CleganeBowl must occur for action.

“2-1 The Hound emerges victorious in CleganeBowl

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.

Sabres Twitter gave up around Christmas. The one hilarious thing in this depressingly inevitable slide back to irrelevance in the back half of the season has been the official Sabres Twitter account slowly turning from straight hype, into Joe Friday delivering terse, Asperger’s-y just-the-facts updates, to utter,…

You just called down the thunder;” and almost no one made even a sliver of an…

This is why you never bring Joey Ramone into your party tricks.

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?

Protip: Buy a 12 of Celebration at the end of the season and stash it. I just cracked my ‘14s and they are goddamn DELIGHTFUL.

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.
