It seems to me that “maybe” - it pretty much always means “no”. Jack Johnson

In the NBA you need a superstar to succeed in the playoffs. The whole system is geared toward this. Playoff games are officiated differently in the playoffs with the benefit going to the superstar. It has always been this way. All you can do is shrug and acknowledge that Michael Jordan’s final shot in a championship…

This is a huge deal. Scouting was one way that Mormons were able to access the mainstream culture in this country. When a boy put “eagle scout” on his resume, that meant a great deal to a certain generation of adults. Now they’ll put, “obtained the rank of Captain Moroni” or some nonsense and it won’t mean anything. I…

He wasn’t all that impressed with Harden’s baiting of the officials:h

My father in law is a reformed conservative (Trump was the bridge too far). I took both he and my wife to see the theatrical version of Les Mis on Christmas night the year it came out. He openly wept through the last half-hour. After the movie he was telling me about how the story is all about conservative ideals and…

How many jerseys do you think he keeps in his carpet bag?

This list is alright. It’s missing my greatest enemy, the sun, Sol. I moved I the desert to the PNW to escape it. I was promised rain and overcast skies, relief from cracked hands, chapped lips and dry sinuses. Instead, the sun followed me. Friends from Las Vegas taunted me last summer when the temperature here (105)…

Came to ask if the Cavs even have an offense? I root for Utah and so I’ve been able to watch Crowder regain his Boston form after having spent the first half the season floundering in Cleveland. Meanwhile Hood was serviceable in his role in the offense here and in Cleveland I just don’t hear anything about him at all.

There are probably worse things to come home to than a clown? Like this one from Pinterest isn’t so bad:

They’re not the Orlando Illusion

I believe the consensus is that the Nintendo dock uses a proprietary chip to handle both charging and HDMI switching. Nyko reverse engineered this functionality for their device. Nintendo rewrote the software for the chip with the 5.0 update in a way that is incompatible with the Nyko dock. I don’t know who is at…

Don’t use the Nyko dock. I have one that I used for travel. My Switch is bricked. Nintendo was nice enough to repair it for free but that they couldn’t save any data.

I hope ROY voting hasn’t closed yet

Had a friend in high school who got arrested for the same joke. This was pre-9/11. They’ve never found this joke funny

I thought that romney had illegally hidden income in off shore accounts and in Switzerland and only brought it back once the government announced amnesty? There was also some shady shit that went down with his untaxed retirement contributions. It was speculated that these were the issues that led to him not releasing…

Visited the national Holocaust museum last week and the first few rooms chronicling the rise of the national socialists in Germany were chilling. Trump is using the same playbook.

I recently learned that if you fart when someone hugs you, it will make them feel strong.

Clicked in hoping for a Netflix for news sites, clicked away disappointed

He’s wrong about it being a “gloryfor kids”. My kids are way less interested in the Disney movie-verse than I was interested in transformers and GI Joe growing up. In fact, I think a lot of Marvel’s success is playing off my nostalgia for my own childhood. Like I go buy the merch for my kids so they can live my…

Yellow as a color is problematic because as one of the primary colors of pigment any additive makes it not yellow. We don’t think of green as a perfect mix of blue and yellow pigment, we think of it as containing too much blue to be yellow and too much yellow to be blue.
