I was pretty conflicted about The Athletic early on because I am very much in the “local papers are important” dwindling demographic. Hopefully they figure out a way to bundle subscriptions or something like that because now the local guys that cover the Columbus Blue Jackets for The Dispatch source The Athletic’s Aar…

My work for them is pro bono.  It makes my snark more pure.

Was raised Roman Catholic and can confirm that is a thing we do with baseballs.  So we don’t do...other stuff.  

Came here for the highlights of his dunks.  He was legit.  Quite unlike the stooge that accosted him in the restaurant.  Turd.  

That’s the direction they are running from.  It’s a futile quest, anyway. 

Solid tip, I always wake early and get in a workout whilst my wife follows your lead. So, any tips for how to neutralize screaming, running little hellions that have to race to the elevator button while mommy shushes them? 

Gym class hero!

Yeah but did you get hurt?

Jesus Christ a freaking eyelash under my contacts brings me to my knees.

Did not see that coming.  You, not me. 

Summer college job working at factory during plant shutdown. It was an old factory, crazy ass hot and deserted except for about a dozen of us college boys. My best friend and I got this great idea to go and clean the only office floor that had AC for the entire day. There was an old elevator that stopped up at that…

Hey, hey now! The little fella was himself an alien too, you know? But no, no I can’t imagine being in that scenario either.

After reading the translation of the lyrics am failing to see the issue.  Was always taught it is better to give than receive.  

The creepiest thing about this book: where are the damn people who are supposed to buy his caps? I think this is actually one of the first post-apocalyptic books to hit the market. The townspeople are all dead and this dude collects the caps from the corpses.   AND IT HAUNTS HIM SO HE WANDERS THE STREETS LOOKING FOR…

I would be in luck if I lived in Dallas.  Because I can ride my bike with no handlebars. 

I’m just going to sit here and wait for The Grateful Dead corporate marketing department to send out the inevitable copyright infringement letter for that paint job.

Born in CT, went to college in MA. I know firsthand how Katic feels.

Welcome to Ohio.  This state is truly a political microcosm of the entire country.  And don’t forget, the SCOTUS just upheld Ohio’s patently bogus argument for their “it’s not voter suppression” method of tossing people off the approved voter list for not voting in 2 consecutive elections.
