New England fan here: I was genuinely disappointed that Cam did not work out in NE. After 20 years of Brady’s boring marches down the field and overall persona, Cam was electrifying. A running quarterback? Press conferences that were honest, outrageous and fun? McDaniel’s seemed to have fun drawing up a whole new…

If I stream it on my phone, does he like me then?

Tom Hanks?

She’s a woman. Women aren’t funny. So, doesn’t count.

When Neons were still popular, it was the car of daycare workers. Every Neon owner I met was in their 20s or 30s, they got it used, and they worked at a daycare.

Wait until they get what they want. Then you’ll hear really whining.

Except... they aren’t babies yet. Just a cluster of cells that are not viable without a host.

There is a point where some people’s lives are so crazy that everyone just accepts it as normal. Trump is the first to come to mind. The family drama that drove Charley home in the very first episode was so public that “Oh, her brother is a criminal married to a former drug addict prostitute....” is a shrug.  This…

To celebrate the end of the trimester and the start of Thanksgiving break, I had a bonfire with s’mores for my middle school students. It was in a field about 200 yards from where a gravel road ended. On the Monday of break, my wife and I were going shopping and I said, “I have to pick up the fire ring and clean up…

When Pat Robertson lost the primary for the president in ‘88, he switched focus to local races.  That’s where the real power is.  And look, now we live in a Republican hellscape with Dems scratching their heads how they are struggling so badly when the majority of Americans agree with them.

When I was in high school, the town library got those detectors (this was early 80s). When another student left his backpack unattended, someone would slip in JOY OF SEX or some other teen body book. It would, of course, set off the alarm and the confused kid would open their backpack and pull out the books. Cue…

I might be misremembering (I’m old, and it’s been a long time), but didn’t Richard Pryor joke about those things AFTER he did them?

You assume he gets laid?

She’s great in SPEAK. The first scene on the bus, with the shoes and creating that insta-bond.

Maybe getting laid a lot in it wears it out?

Two questions here.

This episode is a mess. The season is a mess. None of it should work.

Just as the centerpiece of Season 1 was Ted winning over the team one-by-one, Season 2 should have been entirely Ted dealing with his shit and how he can never be enough for all of the needs of everyone around him.

“It’s unimaginable how the scariest day of my life started with applying for a job at Michaels.”

This is where I make my annual appeal:
