I hate design. It’s a neverending contest to see who can find the most irrelevant thing and fetishize the shit out of it. Read more

Great. Now, let’s see how many female inmates demand sex reassignment surgery and a transfer to the men’s unit.

I’m betting we can check back in 20 years and that number will still be zero. Read more

Well this is it. This is the tipping point for sure. This will be what sinks Trump’s administration before it can begin, because if there’s anything even his own supporters can’t tolerate, it’s plagiarism.

I’d take John Brisker, assuming he isn’t dead and can be found, over anyone in the NHL. Read more

Why couldn’t Hess have gotten punched. Read more

Just popping in to say I read your handle aloud and then lol’ed. It was like a dog farting himself awake. +1 Read more

As opposed to Bill Belichick, who is too great to be a human coach. Read more

This reply is completely authoritative, given your handle. +1 Read more

Not much left to say; this guy’s family tree is nothing but Ashes Read more

I’m running out of here before someone lights this thread ablaze — the old leg before wick-it Read more

The refs are probably technically correct (the best kind!) but it’s hard, based on the lob or on Westbrook’s chagrined reaction, to believe he… Read more

I’ve made my peace with Bonds and Clemens and the other steroid cheats getting in someday. Hall of Fame voting is very much like our presidential election in that votes either for or against are more about telling someone else or their ideology to fuck off than they are for a candidate or his qualifications.… Read more

This is like one of those Jeopardy answers where Trebek asks for someone to be more specific and there’s a pause and they allow it. +1

Wait’ll you see what doesn’t happen to UNC. Read more
