Dude had some speed in his day, too. Despite his...shape. But the hitting! I loved Tony Gwynn. I’m enjoying the Ichiro-love, but the answer is Tony Gwynn.

Isn’t the relationship (correct vis-a-vis interesting) required?

Sooooooo painful, right? I’m pleased someone read this (and got something out of it, too!), but also mildly shocked. I thought I was the only masochist.

Yeah, you’re right. So, listen: there’s this academic thing called “Grice’s maxims” (there are 4 of them) and they posit that people make default assumptions when they engage in communication, and that we also assume that other people are making these assumptions. So, for example, one of the maxims is the maxim of…

You saved me the time of replying to that. Thanks!

You don’t have to be, or feel like, a major cog, for narcissism to be the motivator to think you’re a part…

No offense, but this is what I have to say to the statement that “there’s some logic to the idea”:

Everyone who subscribes to this theory at any level secretly (or maybe not-so-secretly) believes it. It’s the fundemental narcissism of our age.

But we were all thinking them. Those are the best lies!

Yes! I love “True Facts.” I think Cuttlefish is my favorite.

I laughed. It was audible, but not, like, “out loud”, you know?

Yeah, it was surprising that it went unmentioned. That post is years old. But I never tire of it, so yay for new opportunities!
