Does Trump have a direct line to Putin now? I know this is a running joke, but I’m legitimately beginning to wonder if it’s true.

No, you are absolutely right. He always tantalizes with ifs, but LMA is a AAA 21st century NBA cog/wingman with the mistaken impression he’s an 80s-style face of the franchise. On paper, he is invaluable and an easy fit just about anywhere in the League. Off the court- in the locker room and away from the arena- he…

Ah, but if Kawhi were healthy you wouldn’t be getting this LaMarcus. He needs to be The Man, but being a leader just isn’t in his DNA.

On the other hand, “Disgraced Hot Sauce Huckster” has a nice ring to it.

There was a girl in Middle and High School who played the same positions as me (catcher and soccer goalie), but on the girls team. She was very, very good, probably better than me, and I went on to play both sports through college. It was an eye-opener little me never forgot, and it’s been 35+ years since.

Which one? I still see your original response to me, did you post another one? But no, I don’t think I’ve ever dismissed a post on Kinja.

Yup, but that’s punching down. Punching up is a whole ‘nother matter, and I don’t think he has the stones for it.

Looking at that picture above, I’m going with, “Quietly pack up his Hummel figurines as a single tear rolls down his cheek.” Maybe unplug the coffee machine on his way out, if he’s feeling particularly rebellious.

Is it just me, or is Dickie Brownshirt looking a little methed-out of late?

Man, he looks pretty wound up in that pic.

Ha, I was going to post this exact thing.

He’s trying to be retro-cool by enabling Big Head Mode.

I had not played it before, so was kinda shocked to discover it was just a AAA Loot Clicker. Which turned out to be just the low-stakes, “watch the numbers go up” thing I needed at the time.

Golf Story was pretty good when I was feeling stressed by BotW and AC: Origins. Also Diablo 3 for some reason.

Eh, it’s an adequate simulation, at best.
