I remarked to my girlfriend after she heard about this story that “if I ever get that kind of brain damage from anything, please, pull the plug. I don’t want to survive that.”

To which she said “if I found out you got brain damage after a night in a whorehouse, I’d gladly pull the plug.”

Never start a hot take with “as a Pats fan” - the whole world knows what is coming next.

I take the A line from Rockaway Beach everyday to Fulton Street Downtown and I see some fuckin stupid shit, like grown adults like these assholes having a heavy make out sesh at 7:10 am..for the entire duration of the ride, do you not have a home to do this in?...is the idea of commuting to work really getting you all…

I’m actually 100% white and I can’t fucking stand the “I’ve been privy to their racist comments against minorities because clearly ALL white people are in this together” thing either.* Some white people just assume that races are “teams” and we’re all obviously out to get each other.

My mom cut her knee so badly the first time she shaved her legs, she needed stitches. She was so embarrassed, she did them herself, with dental floss and a sewing needle. She taught me the art of shaving legs, while also saying but don't do it unless you want to. She's awesome. And also a great nurse!

We're always happy to dump on ESPN when they screw up, but submitting a well-researched public records request on a subject of legitimate public interest in the expectation that it won't be sprayed all over the internet on Christmas Eve in an attempt to dampen its findings is definitely not an area where they screwed…

not much moral gray area in this situation... withholding/not-testing a rape test swab???? jesus h christ....

Three years without a test? What do they think those swabs are, FSU football players?

I've worked Black Friday (and Thanksgiving evening). I have no idea why people want to go so bad. Everyone is tense, rushed, and there's usually so many people you start to get that claustrophobic feeling. Plus, noisy. Constant background noise. I'm so glad I don't work retail anymore.

One Thanksgiving, my teeth were just starting to come in. I was miserable and crying. My material grandmother, a lovely and tiny woman from Ireland, decided the best thing for me was to rub whiskey on my gums. Unfortunately, she didn't realize my paternal grandfather, an ex-Navy Italian from Queens, was doing the same…

I see you, grey ghostie.

My god that was stunning writing - pure and evocative and heart wrenching.

He doesn't know how to behave in Publix places.

Don't you hate when you walk back to your car after shopping, pop the trunk to put the groceries inside, and come face to face with the corpse of your neighbor? That will ruin your whole afternoon! And it's what one woman in Los Angeles says happened to her at a local Walmart.

If your BAC reads like an area code, you're gonna have a bad time.

wow, see this is a story I'd like to hear more about. Has ESPN touched on any of this already?

I think Michael Sam has a pretty good story and it has nothing to do with his being gay. It is amazing that he's alive, not on drugs, not in jail, or not homeless.

And I can already smell the barrage of think pieces from pop culture critics trying to dissect a marriage they were never a part of.
