One useless man can be a law firm (a sole proprietorship)

Holy shit, an actual porn spoof of the classic Lea Thompson/Victoria Jackson movie Casual Sex? right down to the question mark.

Apropos of nothing apart from her ongoing excellence into her 90s (American Gods), can’t forget the Queen Hippolyta that kicked off the TV show, Cloris Leachman.

If he and his writing partner really wanted a TV breakthrough, he should (a) make half the episodes “New York Stories” anthologies (b) make Angela Bassett and the other ladies of Denise’s family recurring characters (c) scale his and Arnold’s screen time back about 80%.

My favorite unofficial mascot was General Admission, the cannon-firing guy dressed like a cavalry officer in the Astrodome’s cheap seats. Then my least favorite super-unofficial mascot, Batty Bob, a low-rent Max Patkin who also patrolled the same bleachers and was about one missed check away from living in an…

I’ve heard about 10 variants of this answer. By all accounts Jordan was/is a mammoth jagoff, so I guess the takeaway from the several dozen responses is “although statistically and winningly impeccable, Kareem was never the leader of his own championship team(s).”

Great, now Dyan Cannon is going to be appointed National Security Adviser.

I’ll never forget the time Jody Watley got inside Greg Kite’s head in the ‘86 Finals. I mean at the time she hadn’t reached solo star status, but had some leftover fame from Shalamar.

Unrelated question, since the finals aren’t actually that interesting after a 7-week layoff: why is Kareem (12 championships on 3 different levels, all time leading scorer) not in the GOAT conversation?

Holy shit, he was actually at Mizzou when the football team integrated, and by integrated I mean had one black player play.

IIRC that’s how they finally got Tom Penders the fuck out of Texas basketball, something to do with Luke Axtell (sp) academic records.

He took a victory sip of champagne after getting drafted #1 overall out of the wrong Holy Grail.

Waiting six weeks or whatever the hell it was since the end of the Conference Finals for this was like waiting in line for several hours for the movie Popeye (which I did as a 7-year-old) only to be freaked out by the songs of Van Dyke Parks.

Why, without it they would have lost by 26 instead of 22.

I love the ultraplanned spontaneity, it’s like being amused when Bill Murray photobombs a funeral.

An entire several paragraphs and no mention of Joe Maddon. I tried “Wile E. Coyote, Super-Genius” as an alternate search term, seeing as he was using the both the Acme Lineup Construction and Bullpen Utilization Kits.

I’m going outside the box with my prediction this year, but think it will be every bit as useful and connected to reality as anybody else’s prediction: Syracuse Nationals in 11.

C’mon, he was on CNBC, it’s like he didn’t even want what he said to be heard by anyone, much less written about.

Garrison: I never realized Mr. Met was so dangerous to the establishment

It was definitely a repeat of her having Armando Ianucci-level caricarture  Mark Penn out there in 2008, e.g. not knowing about proportional votes and caucuses v. primaries. A campaign that featured no debates or appearances by her at all and spent 100% of its money on a GOTV effort would have been more effective.
