You’re giving me flashbacks. God almighty that was a long two hours.

Clover - you’re making that shit up, right? Right?

At first glance, I read this as Supervillian and was very excited.

I was in the same hotel as the South African national rugby team, and when they trooped through the lobby in their shorts, oh lordy.

The key, I think, is coming up with a site name. siteformerlyknownasdeadspin.com?

Andrew Sullivan tried this with the Daily Dish a few years back. He burned out b/c it was too much for one guy to do, but if we keep the gang together, they could pull it off.

So I’m kind of on the old side, but could someone explain why twenty- and thirty-somethings don’t stop and think, “Maybe I shouldn’t create digital copies of nude photos.”?

This is the correct answer. Granted I had this job in 1991, but for all the reasons listed above, it was awesome. (Our manager was kind of humorless though. When we remade our nametags so that the last consonant was repeated - I became Sammmmmmm and Matt was Mattttttttttt - she simply replaced them. Didn’t even yell…

Problem is - as others have pointed out - Hinkie needed only a handful of guys to turn things around. (And let’s be honest, were the years of hot garbage worth a second round exit from the playoffs?)

I attended a match (twenty?) years ago with my Little Brother (TM) and his little brother, both of whom looooved The Rock.

Is it too early for this?

Old guy here, who was never much into drugs.

Interesting. I’d not heard that, but it makes sense.

Depending on how you define need: football, boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, field hockey... that’s a lot of green space.

For what it’s worth, the rec center is just a few hundred yards from Georgetown University, and the neighborhoods around it are among the priciest in the city. The kids who fill those public schools - which are highly rated - are not street urchins.

For a guess, the problem is that real estate in Northwest DC is prohibitively expensive. I attended one of Maret’s neighbors, and when the administration decided it was time for a new gym, they built it UNDER the football field. It was literally cheaper to bury a three story building than to buy the land and build it…

I’m wondering how big of a hand the US tobacco companies have in the anti-vaping PR... it’s worth it to peruse studies/articles from other countries like the UK for hazard-perspective.

WaPo said that some of the vaping was THC, but not all. (Not exactly data, but it’s something.)

As a parent of a couple of teenagers, I can just about guarantee that LeBron’s kid was NOT cool with this. “Stop it, Dad. You’re embarrassing me!”

This is one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever read.
