Gun people don’t realize that some of us are TERRIBLE shots and would end up shooting ourselves or some innocent bystander instead of our targets. I’d be injured or dead within a month if I were carrying a gun around.

Yeah, I should have said something or done something. But it was a *ahem* game time decision that was based on a number of factors. Dude was MASSIVE and drunk and came back to his seat in the middle of the third quarter talking very loudly about “all lives matter”* and doing everything he could to make himself as…

My most recent was the same week that the pussy comments came out. Some asshole sitting behind me at the Texans game decided to put his hands on my shoulders and neck and give me a backrub despite the fact I had NO previous interaction with him in any way, shape, or form.

I was so shocked I didn’t even respond. And…

Heh. I think we work for the same entity.

In 2005, about three weeks after Katrina, Hurricane Rita formed in the Gulf. It was also a massive storm. Millions of people in the Houston area evacuated (including, sort of, me, I had tickets to ACL that weekend and wanted to get to Austin so I could use them). It was a nightmare. The highways were bumper to…

Due to the weird nature of my admission, I was a member of both the JCR and the MCR, and I’d say that the MCR was much more mature (as would be expected) but the two populations were pretty on par in terms of brightness. (Of course, I was one of the foreign students that helped keep my college afloat, so my…

There’s a car and driver blog post that lays out more of the specs: http://blog.caranddriver.com/meet-you-outba…

I have no problem with telling him he was DQed. They did not watch the tape together to figure out what happened. That would have taken 13 minutes. They watched what NBC producers guessed was the infraction and turned out to be a wrong guess. That’s what I have a problem with. Better journalism would have either a)…

But the reporter gave a reason that was not accurate. The reporter cited pushing and shoving as the reason for the DQ and made the athlete watch tape of an incident during the race that he was not disqualified for. So this newsworthy interview was based on false information that was provided for the sole purpose of…

The thing is also that Lewis gave the wrong reason for the DQ. The NBC guys were so excited to have the scoop, they went back to the tape and found the pushing and shoving and said “This has to be it!” So the “authentic reaction to the DQ” was really a “let’s make up a reason for the DQ and give him something to steam…

I really liked the “human labradoodle” description in another thread.

I imagine that US Swimming is now wishing for the Michael Phelps pot smoking “scandal.”

Yes.

He single handedly has my favorite moment in sports commentary ever. Roughly around the 5:57 mark, but start around 5:26 for context. Such emotion in three words.

My all time favorite Maca moment ever was the Man City over QPR two goals in stoppage time to win the Premier League over Man U. His commentary is at around 5:57, but it’s probably a good idea to start at around 5:00. Hell, Maca moment, it’s probably my favorite sports commentary of all time.

Rough chronology: 10 months of trying and increasingly learning all that stuff about cervical mucous and temping and ovulation predictor kits, 3 rounds of clomid, HSG when clomid didn’t work, month later pregnant with mono mono twins that we lost at 9w3d, 7 months trying again, 7 months clomid, finally go to a…

In the same period that my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant (4 years), one friend has gone through FIVE different adoption agencies with multiple heartbreaks. And she WANTS an older kid out of the foster system.

Congratulations on your little one! We’re taking this month (and probably next month) off…

Good luck! That is quite a journey, and I hope you come out of it with a little one.
