There is literally no better feeling in the world than when I dropped the Bears as my favorite team. Not my divorce from a soul sucking marriage. Not when I left the worst job ever to teach kids with disabilities and found my true calling. Not the birth of my niece or my nephew. Not the fucking Cubs World Series.…

I am just entering my last semester of my special education masters program and this is something that has been hammered into us by my teachers (as well as boys, specifically minority boys, being overrepresented with emotional behavior disorder). Don’t know whether information like this is representative of all or…

Never have. The worst I have ever dealt with, surprisingly, was in Tampa. I have been to a ton of stadiums as an opposing fan (Cubs fan here). In 2008 (first year Rays were ever good and the Cubs were also in first), a Rays fan called my mom a cunt for cheering the Cubs. I asked the usher to have him removed and the…

Ahhhh, I was at this game! Why couldn’t I have been in the “give Chris Christie shit” section versus the “asshole cubs fan who gets into it with an usher for doing his job” section?

I have to say Charles that every time I see a piece by you, I jump at the chance to read it. They are all brilliantly written, insightful, smart, and funny. I haven’t followed boxing in a decade, but when I read your pieces I instantly want to get back into to. Another commenter recommended “The Bittersweet Science,”…

I am lucky enough that I am close with the guys at my local gamestop and I live in a town small enough that demand isn’t going to be crazy. My plan as of now is to show up outside the store at 5am and wait. GS hasn’t started preordering it yet and I doubt they will bit in case they do, I did a pay in full on another…

Trust me, living somewhere with easily accessible, cheap, fast internet then moving somewhere where it literally isn’t available sucks. I moved here to help my mom take care of my father who has cancer and go to grad school. I have literally begged charter to come to our area to no avail. It just isn’t “financially…

Hahaha that’s awesome!

This makes me think of when I was 22 and had shoulder surgery. As they were wheeling me to recovery and I was all drugged up I saw my mom in the waiting room and loudly proclaimed, “mom, i’m not sure what happened in there but my shoulder still hurts and I have a vagina now.” Apparently my mom and the nurses were…

Don’t worry, Nintendo’s primary audience isn’t their fans anymore. It’s scalpers who make their items seem super rare and sold out in every store!

I have the money to pay more for this if need be. I would prefer not to, but I will. I generally will not do something like that but this is one time I make an exception. One reason is because I am donating a kidney next summer and will be off my feet for 4-6 weeks and would love to have this to play some RPGs from…

Or for those of us who work early in the morning and are sleeping at that time.

This is one item that I (stupidly) will end up paying too much money for if I can’t find one on shelves in the first six months of it being out. If these are just as hard (or harder) to find than the NES Classic, it also means I will be done with Nintendo. I got the NES when I was six, 32 years ago and have been a…

Finally just up and deleted this game yesterday. I mostly held on to it because I would play with my niece and nephew when they visited me or I visited them. When they were here a few weeks ago, we never even opened the game. Where I live you rarely see anything except the crap low level pokes and where they live in a…

Fucking definitely Raubahn’s fault! That one-armed bastard!

God I can’t wait to not watch this fight.

Fully aware of that.

Yeah, except for there is no proof Einstein ever said that (he likely didn’t). The earliest attributable time it was ever used was in a British mystery novel published in 1983. It is also commonly attributed to Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, people who also never said it.

Trust me, I am fully aware it is not normal.

I am fully aware that I respond way over the top when it comes to this. For some reason it is the one thing that sets me off. You could punch me in the face and I would smile, but parrot this bullshit and i’ll lose it. I may be a bit unhinged.
