I honestly count on my fingers. I know people think counting on your fingers makes you look dump, but it helps me win at bar trivia, so they can go kick rocks.

I mean, it’s actually way easier than that. You really only need to know African country names and vague geography, then play the word game they set up. The countries have to be on the opposite coasts, start with the same letter, and have 7 letters. That’s pretty constraining.

I agree, but the Circle Jerks and Emilio are in Repo Man, so...

Honestly, it’s less weird that Harrison’s production company funded a Monty Python movie. Monty Python is kinda out there, but they were popular. Repo Man is a deeply weird movie with a great soundtrack.

FIIIIIINNNNNEEEEE

Yeah, I was reading Tom Breihan’s excellent Stereogum series The Number Ones and started reading about The Monkees and discovered the Repo Man fact as well and was like “well that’s cool”.

I was gonna be a little annoyed if breaking made it as an Olympic sport, but skateboarding didn’t.

The Hindu nationalist Trump supporter in the cube next to me (he speaks very loudly and often about these things) thinks that Jussie should be charged with an anti-MAGA hate crime...

Yeah, I’m honestly surprised this cosmic brain hasn’t been on the Joe Rogan Experience yet. It seems to be where all cosmic-brained beings go to air their weird-ass ideas.

Haha, I went a different way in dragging Brown. Dude is so cheap, he was probably salivating at the chance to sign Kaep for next to nothing.

I was thinking that Brown, being the cheapskate that he is, got all excited that he might be able to sign Kaep for dirt cheap until Jerry explicitly told him that they were colluding to keep Kaep out of the league.

I love courses like this. I took a handful of them in undergrad (I was a physics major).

I remember that I read an online article from an Israeli newspaper by a clearly pro-Israel Israeli journalist (living in Israel) where he criticized Bibi and Israeli foreign policy and was called anti-Semitic by his fellow Israelis.

Such a good song that it inspired an also good Jimmy Eat World song about it!

Where does the movie fall?

Deadwood isn’t an anthology series.

It was like I had trouble keeping track of who was who. Like I totally forgot who Robert was.

Related to the discussion about being ready to watch TV after a surgery:

There are reports the Bengals are looking to Dom Capers for DC, leading to questions like “Who would you rather have as DC, Dom Capers or Marvin Lewis?” on the CincyJungle blog.

This past Thanksgiving they had 4 bottles of Great Lakes Christmas ale in the fridge, so it was too early to have been from 2018. I’m pretty sure it was the six pack they bought for me back in 2016 and I only had two bottles, because I don’t really like Christmas ale much.
