I don’t have to go find it; I already know where it is. Check out “The Family Circus Treasury” for starters. Some brilliant, timeless stuff there (if you want great art, support it with your time and/or money). And Bil Keane’s four National Cartoonists Society’s Awards for Best Syndicated Panel in 1967, 1971, 1973 and…

Admittedly, comparing the arts to sports is difficult, so I’ll concede it’s not a perfect analogy. One of the problems is that, in economic terms, sports is much more efficient as a marketplace. You only get to hang around too long if you’re starting from a much higher spot to begin with. To pick a random example,…

Flippant sign-off? Not mandatory. Just more fun that way. ;)

I’ll repeat... “Couldn’t possibly be more wrong.”

Ken Griffey, Jr. isn’t much of a ballplayer anymore. But they still put him in the HoF this year.

Piazza didn’t get into the Hall of Fame for his season with the A’s. And Calvin and Hobbes is, inarguably, the greatest strip of all time. It ceased publication almost 21 years ago. So... yeah.

I’ll give you Markmaduke, but you couldn’t possibly be more wrong about Family Circus. That shit was gold in the ‘70's.

I fucking hate you.

I’m a man. I have daughters. And, yet, it seems like I’m always meeting women who know more than me about something. Even the kids!

Nope. While it doesn’t change the fact that Letterman wasn’t a great advocate for women writers, when he retired, CBS took over the franchise from Worldwide Pants, Letterman’s production company. He apparently had no say in selecting Colbert (source: http://www.thewrap.com/david-letterma…)

Even football has an (often stupid) excessive celebration rule and making the other guys feel bad is part of of the game. There’s nothing wrong with “making baseball fun.” But this kid’s kind of a dick.

+1 x 1 = 2

Does he pay that or does the hiring school, though? They’ll build that into their “cost of acquisition.”

There’s your salad-tossing (heh) problem right there: You shouldn’t put raisins in your salad in the first place, you goddamn heathen.

“That somehow a group of monks once had an abbey—not a church, an actual abbey—in the downtown of a major metropolitan city?”

You really can’t. You can build a very good PC at half the price. But the integration between the hardware and software on a Mac tops the integration of hardware/software on a Windows machine every time. That may not be worth the price difference to you or plenty of others. But that’s a cost/benefit judgment only.…

Re: Brandon

One of only two episodes I never rewatch. The other being “War of the Coprophages.” Incest and insects really creep me out.

Can we just talk about your screen name for a moment? This makes me so happy.

No Bujold? A clear mistake.
