I bet that team was the Bucks. They recently got burned by some bastard Kidd.

Oh hell yeah! Fun story, one of Lawler’s minis was actually in my candlepin bowling league. Louie Waterhouse, guy was HILARIOUS. Last I saw him was 2013 or 14, and he was still getting residual checks from the WWE every year just after WrestleMania.

Sort of like Tim Duncan.

Rip Emma, gone too soon

Hazel! I work in a job where I have to deal with a lot of county courthouses and sheriffs here in Illinois and I love that Pope has no bones about admitting they’re a tiny county where all the business probably is out of the back of Bob’s garage on alternate Tuesday’s, like most of Illinois south of Kankakee.

I think you were a little bit dismissive of Weird Al there. Yeah, comedy songs don’t exactly have a long shelf life and they’re not things you’re going to want to re-listen to a ton. That’s kinda the nature of comedy, plus the fact that so many of the parodies are a recreation of pop music that’s often not all that…

Trout signed a significantly undermarket extension with/for a team that has a long, comical history of terrible free agent signings. This even after they stiffed him by renewing his contract his first two years with zero bumps, despite his being the best player in the world (customarily a team will toss a guy an…

It does not appear to have a website run by the local government but instead it has what appears to be fansite run by a women named Hazel Dawn, who as best as I can tell is a real Leslie Knope.

I have a client who pulls this nonsense. I email them and within two minutes my phone is ringing. Even explaining that I emailed them because I need a written response doesn’t work.

Fun fact: Texas has 38 counties that are bigger than Rhode Island.

That’s because any state west of Ohio was surveyed using the Township and Range method, while the states that made up the original colonies used the old British method of metes and bounds.

You mean like Maryland’s 3rd district?

I prefer less counties. Texas probably should have like 200, but the fact that Illinois has 102 drives me crazy. Of course, it you got rid of some of them you would probably lose Pope County which is home to my favorite website. It does not appear to have a website run by the local government but instead it has what…

No, you’re in the right here. I do not like it when people are cagey about that kind of shit. Someone better be fucking dead if you can’t tell me what you need to talk to me about.

If you want weird shapes you should lookup the gerrymandered congressional district version.

I’ve always found it strange that the most uniquely-shaped state has such blandly-shaped counties.

get Mike Trout into a market where I, an old, don’t have to stay up until 2 a.m. to watch him. Or make the Angels play all of their games at 4 p.m. PST. That is the real travesty here.

Extremely excited to see these start trickling out in a few months...
