What are you talking about!? I do that every game game I go to. I do it at Raiders games. I open up teaching class with it. I expect to use it when my wife gives birth.

What line do they put him on? Pavelski and Couture, or with Marleau?

as a lit grad student, i could direct you to thousands of books written for social justice reasons, but for now, I’ll start with one (a book that is admittedly very problematic) that Abraham Lincoln said was the cause for the American Civil War: Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

This headline should win the No Shit Sherlock Pulitzer.

I think this article is terrific, especially since I was thinking this question myself today. I hate how people need to say, “He died but I still hate him!” When there’s no human reason to do so...or, of course, the absurd lionizing of a person that probably did not mean anything to you.

When I was in high school, I worshipped the beats. When I worked and spluttered out of grad school in my 20s, I began to grow weary of them and the nascent hippy ideals. Now, in my 40s (how the fuck did this happen?), I have returned to them as a returning MA student in lit, and realize what fucking phenomenal writers

Of all of these, the one that really hurts is Latrell Sprewell. The impact he could have on the voting public can't be measured.

This is one of those moments where I know I should have a joke in me, there’s a ball on the tee, and I...just...drop the bat and mope off. I don’t even get a participation trophy.

Make America Great Again!

The US avoided Brazil, Argentina, and David Suarez’ hungry jaw...how is this a bad draw? They even avoided World-Beaters Jamaica. That being said I’m pulling for Mexico.

As a rabid anti-carver (I actually foam at the mouth when people count calories), I want to point out one advantage of low carb diets: alcohol and spirits have no carbs. They do slow down weight loss but do NOT add pounds or stop ketosis.

I have always believed that Sports God is a complete dick (he let the 90s Dallas Cowboys win three SBs! He allowed Derek Jeter to win a gold glove! He didn’t make Doug Flutie athletically immortal!) but today, he (she?) redeemed himself somewhat.

So the smart money lost?

All of the Zorks! Not Azores. F’in auto correct.

Yes!! You can download almost all of the Infocom games (including all of the Azores, well except Beyond and Zero) on iOS, and just as good, you can download Frotz and download almost any IF game released in the last 20 years. They are amazing. Just search for Infocom and Frotz.

Murphy’s. Drank it in Cork (great town). Switched back to Guinness ASAP.

Comp lit student. :) poetry is sex.

Guinness should not be served at room temperature. I don’t disagree with the article that the amount of Guinness sold is down because of the myriad of options available. I disagree that Guinness is a beer.

It’s difficult to read kinja’s beer columns. Guinness is not a beer, it is a religions, way of life, an elegiac experience that is akin to a human’s first sexual awakening. I understand that people in the U.S. Aren’t drinking it, and that craft beers have exploded, but it’s also because Guinness isn’t usually served

For f sake, don’t use “it’s” as a possessive. Last Graf. That’s poor English defending.
