Hey! I’ve had to kite a check at the grocery store before because my card would get declined and the check wouldn’t. The key is if you absolutely must write a check to have all filled out except the dollar amount and scribble that shit in ASAP. I hate it when people hold me up and the checkout and try to get done as…

I bet he has excellent handwriting though. That’s what he is talking about when he said he made sacrifices equivalent to those of POWs. I have never seen an instance of the Orange Toad’s handwriting, so I may be totally off base here....

Asik was decent at best with a lot of better players around him in Chicago. I cannot fathom why you would re-sign him when the best player on your team plays the same position. Surely there was some other big oaf that provides some kind of paint presence and 6 fouls that was available for less money.

I am not presently seeing much evidence that capitalism works at all when in many corporations the salary + benefits of a single executive is more than the yearly wages/salary of hundred of their employees combined. Not all that long ago executives made about 20x the salary of their average employee. That proportion…

I would pay good money right now to watch George C. Scott hit in the groin with a football.

To be fair to bus crashes, that is exactly what Charlie Sheen’s career has been.

Counter-counter-counter-point. It happened to the Jets, so it’s automatically hilarious. I root for the Bears and sometimes the Eagles, so I’ve eot no real skin in the game, but Jets failures are inherently funny.

Yes, I could have phrased that better, but the point stands that I was probably able to get that apartment at that price precisely because a lot of middle and upper class whites do think that minority neighborhoods are inherently high crime areas.

Granted, this was nearly 15 years ago, but I rented a three bedroom/two full bath apartment in north Dallas for $780/Mo. It was in an “ethnic” area (mostly Hispanic, some black, and a contingent of Kurds who were refugees from the first Gulf War), but it wasn’t a high crime area and I’m frankly glad I decided to…

You make a convincing argument

I kind of feel like it would be a very Bears move to make to get him. Although if they draft a qb at least he probably won’t have to play until week 2.

IIRC, the people bringing the lawsuit are related to him anyway. I might be wrong, but either way I’d cozy up to the guy and see if they’d help me fix up my shitty car in return for helping them out rather than getting pissed off and filing a lawsuit.

MeTV was available all day year round near Boston when I lived there. They played the entire run of Banacek over the course of a couple of months. A show I had never heard of and didn’t realize was great until I came home and found my roommates watching it. Te Rifleman is the only other thing I’ve seen on there…

People think I’m shitting them when I say there’s a direct link through that type of protest music, but Kingston Trio was woke as fuck when it came to the issues of their time and place.

Let us all celebrate the continuity from Kingston Trio through Public Enemy, and Tricky.

I’ll be damned.

This has to be the first time I’ve heard Chicago referenced as a Rust Belt city.

I know it wasn’t his real name, but Oil Can Boyd is definitely held on higher regard solely due to his nickname.

I knew the origin and it didn’t occur to me at all till I got down to the comments

Fun
