The one on the left has an unfortunate case of Resting Receptacle Fur.

There’s always a bit of a disconnect because everyone be hires is way smarter than him. Not an insult, just the truth: I doubt he'd disagree. It’ll be interesting who follows and what their roles are.

I like how this post ends

This looks like the toy car littering abandoned buildings in Fallout 3.

You’re the only one I’ve seen to mention Pappademas...I think this has a good chance. He just lost his other half and he has a wide range in the culture department.

Jeff George was offered the job but declined, says a source intimately familiar with Jeff George

I didn’t know about the outcome-affecting test. Thanks for that info. There, again, poker seems to do better than daily fantasy. I may not be able to effect (hey cool a situation where affect and effect both work) which cards are turned over, but I can make moves that affect how many cards are turned over. At least…

I know we’re all tired of the ads, and most people think there’s something rotten about this whole daily fantasy thing, but when did we completely abandon the “game of skill vs. gambling” argument? How are the two even mutually exclusive? Daily fantasy is both gambling and a game of skill, just like poker. The powers…

I like this new trend. Playing Black Ops 3 for an hour saved me from buying it and having to resell it the next day. I’m sure I’ll instantly realize that I’m too old and slow for jetpacks, and then whatever itch I had to buy Battlefront will be scratched.

We generally call that “soda water” here in the Midwest, to the extent it even comes up. Whatever, it’s all good.

No, I wasn’t aware of that, but assuming it’s true and granting you your wholly prescriptivist snoothood (which I typically share but not when it cuts against me), now that I’ve just been thusly informed, I could not give less/fewer shits, depending on the continuous/discrete nature of shits in general.

Blow guns!

All “pop” has going for it is some degree of onomatopoeia, but at the expense of also being the name dogs probably give it inside their stupid dog minds (shit, might have just ruined onomatopoeia for myself, probably enhanced it for others). Because our species has developed actual spoken language, use an actual human…

I mean, if somebody bet you a six-pack that you couldn’t create four categories of random criticism of his post and instantiate them with legitimate English words, then cheers on both winning the bet and having friends who offer up free alcohol for surprisingly soft stakes *clink*, but I’m not seeing where you get…

Dick Vitale’s eye is gleaming with pride

I think he has talent, though woefully underrepresented in his archive, for writing something heartfelt, like the column he wrote when his dog died:

I’m paraphrasing, but it was basically: “The NFL is pretty top-heavy, and I don’t mean like Christina Hendricks,” referencing how there’s a pretty big gap between the top 7 teams and the rest of the league.

I listened and enjoyed them, like always. I’m a troglodyte.

But that Christina Hendricks line would have hit the cutting room floor fifteen years ago on The Man Show. It was like he realized his asshole meter was running low and decided to replenish it with a douchebag hadouken. Picture a Sports Guy video game based on…

I’d suggest Freedom. It has the interwoven political soapbox that we can probably expect to see in Franzen until the end of time, but it’s a better book than Purity.

“manic spree of ironic pitch framing”

I love this phrase
