The fact that we have so many petty, miserable bastards in this country that just want to put other people down is very much indicative of why Trump got elected.

Welcome to Trump’s America dude.

Welcome to Trump’s America dude.

Luckily we are now at a point where treaty and obligation have prevented world war for 75 years. Unluckily, some clown and his cronies got elected. I plan to learn Mandarin.

Why do you have to drag Peter Gabriel into this?

Arrogant and stupid is the American Way, last time I checked.

I’ve always shied away from reading Infinite Jest because I’m afraid it’s going to be like Gravity’s Rainbow. Which is a fantastic book, and also one that ultimately took me about ten years to finish because I got about 100 pages from the end, moved, lost the book, and then had to basically read all over again…

That’s a pretty bold statement, assuming that the Mets are going to make it all the way to spring training.

And the only man who could defend Shaq *and* Jordan.

The whole book is great. It really makes you realize how great some forgotten stars were and also points out just how exceptional guys like Jordan and Magic and Shaq were.

People hate on Rodman because he became a joke, but dude was legit one of the best basketball players ever. I grew up being too young to really appreciate the first version of the Bulls, then got spoiled with the Rodman era Bulls. I only realised after the fact how awesome they were.

Just want to point out that the FreeDarko guys’ book on the history of basketball has a great chapter pretty much devoted entirely to the Iverson Sixers and it’s great.

I like how it’s literally impossible to not read that in James Earl Jones’s voice.

Yeah, both Popovich and Sager are guys that I really wanted to hate a while back but I just ran out of reasons to be able to.

I was going to make a similar joke about pound for pound, but let’s not act like Tolstoy wasn’t trying to write for maximum volume also.

Nice. The Volition crew used the Blind Pig as our drinking hole, due to having a wide selection of beer and being about a block away.

*A* Saints Row team anyway :)

I used to work at a video game studio in Champaign, IL, which is blessed with an abundance of good food options for a Midwestern town of its size. And while I was grateful that they would buy us dinner when we had to work overtime, apparently there was an unwritten requirement that at least 3 times a week said dinner…

In all fairness it’s been a number of years since I had to do that. I assume it goes through as quickly as your debit card these days anyway.

Morals? That means telling gay people and women seeking care at Planned Parenthood they’re going to hell, right?
