Much like “Global Thermonuclear War” in WarGames, about the only way to win in 1929 was not to play.

Protip: The Magic 8 Ball is not an effective tool for decision making.

I didn’t like the way Dale Sr drove, but I’ve heard stories about him being not an asshole in regular life, like this Onion article about Ray Allen.

Those advertisers are pitching to a broad spectrum of prospects. Nascar fans are, ironically, a minority in America. If you have to choose a market segment, it would be much more rewarding to emphasize “people who don’t care about Nascar,” unless you actually sell race car parts.

Richard’s advertisers include the US Air Force, Ford, and numerous retail brands.

It’s okay. They blamed it on the Injuns.

Does “timely” mean when no one knows about it?

Is a sister school like a sister wife? How does that work?

Yeah, that stuff goes with being a 25 year old luxury car, unless it’s a Lexus.

Those aren’t horrible cars, if they’re what you like. The 92 doesn’t have a Northstar timebomb.

Paul Allen doesn’t, and he’s easily the richest owner.

There’s a prize budget, just like makeup and catering. The show is owned, ultimately, by RTL, which is a huge company. This isn’t a charity buying insurance for a hole in one at a scramble.

A raffle ticket isn’t a deductible donation on federal taxes. It’s a wager, not a donation. The fact that the “house” doesn’t pay 100 percent of the wagers back to the players doesn’t make it a donation.

It’s relevant because you were dishonestly making up all those reasons that it was phenomenally popular, when in fact you are probably full of shit.

I really, really doubt that half of the people who are (allegedly) in favor of it can articulate *any* of those reasons except that the 84 olympics (33 years ago, which over half of the population of Los Angeles is not old enough to remember) look cool on video. Maybe ten percent of them can remember the largest…

Rickey likes the way Rickey thinks. Rickey.

I’d call bullshit on an IOC backed poll, but the Loyola Marymount poll sounds straight, although it’s still incredible that there’s such a high percentage of support. As a rule, 30 percent would be against it just to fuck up the other 70 percent who want it. Thanks.

That’s impossible to believe. Do you have a source?

And it’s fair to say that Jerry knows the footbaw b’ness. If you’re in the footbaw b’ness too, you should listen to what he has to say, even if you know all there is to know about selling hamburgers or sheetrock.

Monopoly should be below Life on this list. This only reason anyone claims Monopoly is a good game is that they’re confusing “complicated and long” with “good and fun.”
