Given the circumstances, I certainly can’t blame you for assuming the worst about that book. While I’ve never been forced to be around a large group of Confederate apologists in that way, I have encountered them from time to time, and it is disturbing to think of how widespread the sentiment is.

While I agree with your point, as a man who has had to use a men’s stadium bathroom, I don’t think it’s much more appealing to us :)

Phil’s reply is a decent summation of Lies My Teacher Told Me, although I’d argue it’s only revisionist in the sense that it attempts to correct some of the flaws that whitewash US history.

Lies my Teacher Told Me has a rather lengthy section about how Lincoln tends to get misrepresented in American school textbooks to appear that ending slavery was a means to an end. While preserving the union was his chief goal, there is certainly evidence that he believed slavery must end as well. Admittedly, I…

Uh...one of those books is very different from the other.....

I had some fun with Angry Chicken after Karazhan when I made a Menagerie Priest deck. Curator would pull the Chicken and a Corrupted Seer along with a dragon, then next turn I’d play the Chicken and buff it with Tentacles. If it lived to the next turn and hadn’t already been enraged, I could activate it with the…

People who are being chased often wind up getting hurt, regardless of profit motives.

This is good Kinja. If OP had included something to this effect it wouldn’t have felt so much like “all set-up, no punchline”.

I have always contended that the singular should be White Sok/Red Sok.

I’d argue that OKC would have seen a much bigger drop in win % without Westbrook than SA would without Leonard. If team wins are the most important stat we had better line Curry up for another MVP.

The fact that OKC was 33-9 when Westbrook got a triple double sort of belies any complaints about “stat chasing” hurting his team.

I think I caught those guys opening for Eat Static at the Bronco Bowl in Ft. Worth!

So, “totally fucking blazed” is your response here?

How fucking high are you right now?You can readily find a novel worth of shit about drug laws in the US, and virtually none of it supports your batshit claim.

You would totally think so, but Dallas is actually pretty cool, while spending any time in Illinois outside of Champaign or Chicago is basically killing yourself slowly.

LOL...I am from Illinois, and I got accepted at Yale and Vanderbilt, among other very good schools, and I did not once even consider Northwestern as an option. I wound up going to UT Dallas, but that was largely because they offered a great financial package and also had a neuroscience program.

Well duh. It was still funny.

It almost certainly depends on the variety of Spanish too. Mexican, Spanish, and Peruvian Spanish all have words that are fairly innocuous in one dialect that are hugely insulting in one or more of the others. Sort of like how “fag” has very different meanings in British and American English.

I used to work at a video game studio and for a while we had an internal newsgroup devoted to complaints about the disgusting shit people did to the bathrooms. It was actually pretty entertaining reading as long as you weren’t the person who encountered the bathroom catastrophe. People got really creative about…

Gotta be way up there. All of the Rex Ryan *door flies open* posts were good too.
