The Echolocation line slayed me. This is eerily similar to real-life conversations I've had. Read more

It's amazing how many things use red and green as their indicators when you consider that the vast majority of colorblind people have issues with those colors. Read more

When I was writing this Mario Kart definitely came up. Seems like a lot of colorblind gamers have trouble with it. Read more

Ya, color deficient is the proper definition for people like me. The word colorblind gets used interchangeably, but there are much fewer people who are actually truly blind to certain colors. My little brother's color blindness is more extreme, he actually sees shades of red as grey, whereas I just have a hard time Read more

If OKC gets a gold star for the Sonics' title in 79, I will lose my goddamn mind Read more

That is a really smart approach. The reason I don't like these "eff the man, don't be a slave to your credit score!" people is that they run the risk of being screwed if they ever need to prove they have good credit. Nice to live in a fantasy world where you never will, but no one knows that for sure. Read more

That's a wonderful attitude to have, but when you're ready to buy a house or a car, or need to apply for a loan, or any of the other million things where credit score matters, good luck! Read more

The problem with going cash only though is that you aren't establishing as much of a credit score that way. Read more

You must have forgotten how much Cleveland fell off a cliff the second Lebron wasn't there to carry the roster. Basketball is a sport where one person can make an absurd amount of difference. James by himself is worth a 10 win increase at least, and that's before you factor in Wiggins. Read more

Read the book Literary Rogues. It covers famous writers like De Balzac and how wonderfully absurd they were. What you'll find is that a lot of them came from wealthy families or married into wealthy families and that funded their writing (and often times their addictions and prostitutes as well). Read more

I love how Cleveland fans are showering him with love right now, and they'll turn back to despising him the second he signs somewhere else. If an athlete ever needed a lesson in how quickly fans' opinions can change, this is it. Read more

Every sports bar in Seattle that I've been to plays Sounders games. Read more

I dunno, they gave us the South Park wiener song and the screaming goats version, those two alone make me giggle every time I hear the real intro. Read more

Did you watch and hear the boos raining down on her? Or read the vast majority of comments on every MMA site? People don't like her, and the feeling is that she is being protected from legitimate competition (Holms, Cyborg) because she's one of the only active fighters with mainstream appeal. Read more

I agree, and I'm not saying that all of the debate/ criticism was transphobic. I actually think MMA fans handled that debate more maturely than most mainstream sports have handled similar discussions. That's why I said transphobia was only part of the criticism. Read more

If you follow the sport closely, you may have seen the massive backlash against Fallon Fox, a transgender person who used to be a man and is now a woman. She was fighting other women and a very vocal portion of the MMA community was enraged. Read more

The Matt Hughes effect, meaning you coach on the Ultimate Fighter and it reveals certain aspects of your personality (or it's edited that way) that make you look like a jerk. Read more
