The Corn Palace is amazing, though.

“Hazel’s obsession with Hoosiers around the world was a textbook example of a false karass, of a seeming team that was meaningless in terms of the ways God gets things done, a textbook example of what Bokonon calls a granfalloon. Other examples are the Communist party, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the…

I thoroughly enjoy the half-hearted first down point of the Colts player behind Pagano’s head as they wait for the announcement of the penalty.

The King is dead. Long live The King.

Yeah. That’s one of the limitations of the show, especially now, is that we are losing some little scenes or little dialogue. Like an extended scene between Sam and Jorah or Jon and Jorah about Jeor Mormont. (Especially for Jon, it would make sense to explain how he and Ghost saved Jeor from the wight, and how Jon got…

Shared this in another article, but was in Milwaukee over the weekend and caught a couple of the Reds-Brewers games. My friend remarked that Votto is 12th all time in OBP. Only two players with higher OBP aren’t in the Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds and a guy who played 8 seasons in the 1890s. Votto feels criminal…

It was Lord Glover of Deepwood Motte (North) and Lord Royce of Runestone (The Vale) in that scene, and Lord Royce makes that point. The Vale’s allegiance is to Sansa.

It makes sense. Jon’s force was mostly Wildlings, and people overcoming thousands of years of prejudice against them is hard. Furthermore Lord Royce’s…

One undercurrent of the show that has always fascinated, is “where does power lie”? It’s a fundamental question in the real world as well as in Martin’s.

The Targaryen’s conquered Westeros because they had the power, whether it was earned via fear of the dragons (As Dany mentioned, Jon’s ancestor kneeled when he saw…

Wednesday Samer is the Samer we all need and deserve!

The synergy between topic and burner name is well done.

The Ark of the Covenant from Raiders of the Lost Ark. You could use that as a cooler at a tailgate.

I was in Milwaukee this weekend and caught two of the Brewers-Reds games. Everytime Votto came up, he mentioned that Votto is 12th all time in OBP in baseball history.

The only players not in the Hall ahead of Votto are Bonds and Billy Joyce who played 8 seasons in the 1890s.

They blew up the Inspirational Chicken Man in Philly, last night. They blew up his house, too. ... cause Philadelphia.

I don’t see how this effects the Nashville Predators one iota.

“you can walk a couple blocks and find things outside of it” - I don’t know whether to read the lack of specificity in that statement as a ringing endorsement, or dry subtle observational humor.

No, but I borrowed the joke from a female friend who had an awkward experience holding up her friend who had to pee in a Bourbon Street alley during a bachelorette party.

It’s not terrible. It just is bland, though having the skyline gives it the win over Sun Trust. At least I feel like I’m in a city and I can tell what that city is.

Yeast infection.

Yeah. Fenway is still pretty muted with between inning stuff, which is kinda amazing, considering how much the current Sox org leverages the team brand into partnerships. Let’s hope it lasts. Though, “Beat the Freeze” was kinda fun.
