I liked the craziness, tbh. It was one of the most uneven books I’ve ever read—probably because Beaston was vacillating between coke and smack at the time which seems to make for a pretty bumpy ride. I thought the basic A story of a spoiled brat with a father so ruthless he hires an agency to kidnap him, replace him…

“I sold half of it to Tomsula, which was pure profit.”

Yes. When a “Caller at Boost Mobile” shows up on your caller ID you know it’s the Knicks and you do not pick up.

Did you know Bret Easton Ellis considered suing because Zoolander was so similar to his weird, nearly-unreadable post-modern monstrosity Glamorama? And the thing is, having read the book and having watched Zoolander a few times in various states of lucidity, I think he’s right.

Today, we are all grammercypolice.

I think it is weird for people who have never gone through periods of intense suicidal ideation to really grasp how scary it is to worry that somewhere down the line for reasons you can’t even think of right now you might have such a strong urge to off yourself that you can’t resist. That’s really one of the most…

I just assumed this was what Dr. Bornstein was hinting at in one of his bizarre diatribes where he went out of his way to say something like “I mean nobody ever discloses everything wrong with a President, do they? Did they go out of their way to say Reagan had early onset dementia? Of course not.”

hopefully you mean it was sad to see him get away with it and not be publicly humiliated for being a doddering, gibbering old psychopath? this isn’t even an empty, vacuous desire for vengeance on my part—as a practical matter and for the good of the country reagan’s legacy should have been savaged early and forcefully…

eerily perfect synergy between user name and image posted

Yeah, my two favorite Cubs of that era were Moreland and Ron “If Not For Mike Schmidt....” Cey.

Also, I’m not sure he lost nearly as many fly balls in the sun as Steve Goodman would want you to believe. Although he did lose SOME fly balls in the sun (and in the lights in road games) and some of them were fucking spectacular, like the time I still remember from that terrible 85 season when he played a lazy pop…

The rationalization I hear most often from kids who do and say horrible racist shit (but still don’t consider themselves racist) goes like this, “I can’t be a racist. Everyone knows racists are bad people, but I’m not a bad person, so I can’t be a racist. I’m just trollin’ and people should lighten up.”

A very long time ago, the Cubs announcing crew got a LOT of mileage out of playing up how good Keith Moreland was at playing balls off the wall (because so many got over his head or past him in the gap) and fielding line drives on one bounce (because so many balls landed just in front of him). Pirates announcers may…

lol yeah right. “40 years old.”

meh. he can put together a few nice regular season games, but he’s p soft in the post-season tbh. can’t win the big one. can you imagine what he’d do if his team went down 3-1 to the warriors? probably cry.

they have that guy who did beibs in the trap...a$ap rocky i think his name is?

There’s an old saying that punk died when the first kid said punk’s not dead; by the same token it was pretty clear West was no longer relevant to his original audience when he started showing a lyrical obsession with talking about how relevant he still is. I really liked him for a couple of more albums, at least in…

I’m starring you because you made a good comment that I don’t want to stay grey. I’m also pretty sure you’ve expressed far and away the more popular opinion.

So I’m a 40 year old white guy who loved West really hard until recently. I loved him because he’s funny, and he’s brilliant, and he always seemed fearless. My old, broken down ass lost 60 pounds one terrible winter running endless miles on a treadmill with the inspiration of the second hand ego boost MBDTF gave me. I…

At least Booth did wait until they said the best laugh line, the one about the sockdolgozing gold-digger.
