This is a great article, and I love Robin Wright and all that, but I really think we need to make sure that the beauty of “Geoduck-in-Chief” doesn’t get lost in the shuffle here...

nah, if it was a dead woman they’d just find a way to make it her fault. dead man in his bed, maybe.
There’s a triathlon in Boulder, CO that goes up into the foothills during the bike leg, and a while back someone hit a black bear on their road bike during a speedy descent. The bear was, understandably, scared shitless and ran off (presumably not badly hurt) and she had some road rash but actually finished the…
but I mean he’s freaking beautiful so...
oh god, Gerard Butler. The reason I didn’t turn off Phantom of the Opera in a musical-nerd rage 15 minutes in.
