Was in Osaka twenty yrs ago, and the locals next to us ordered young octopus. They cut the legs off and served it squirming. They were amused by our reaction.

If we want to be a little cringe about it, like, who is the admin's Josh Lyman from the West Wing? The guy whose only job is to be the pipeline between the WH and Congress. Don't know if they have one, and if they do, if he's like the rest of these fuckers, he has no respect for the institution.

51 yrs old here, we're grading on a curve. Like the half life of isotopes or something.

The memorial Marcus Johansen Roster Position or Guys Unfairly criticized.

Who's next on the list of guys fans gripe about because they don't understand the value of the player? One of the big caps site's readers must feel rudderless without Carlson to slag on.

Well i certainly need to eat a little crow now, huh?

Marsha Blackburn in the top 5. Real dark horse in the race.

Another check in the "glad I'm not the Youth today".

I'm legit impressed you have that view. I got a C+, and my old man stewed about it *at the national honors society dinner that night*. Took another parent scolding him to get him to move along.

May I introduce you to the good word of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers(pre-2014) and the Refreshments? I believe when you move to Arizona, they just give you a copy of Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy.

As mentioned, the superior mid-90s Arizona band is the Refreshments. Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy is perfect, no further questions at this time, and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Disappointed I had come down this far for a Refreshments mention. Fizzy Fuzzy - a perfect album.

Day ending in Y, so...

If y'all like baseball, the Flying Squirrels open their shiny new park in a few weeks. Pretty close to the science museum, maybe 10 minutes from them Ethiopian place, too.

Wait, we have good Ethiopian here, too? Man, does this city punch above it's weight.

Sir and/or ma'am, I beseech you, what in the living fuck is that?

Damnit, I meant didn't get it. Just looked blankly at the screen and sighed.

I laughed so hard my wife asked what was going on. She did get it, which I think speaks well of her.

I was hoping you'd throw in the CT day school he attended. Truly, salt of the earth.

I wish the folks who spend all day pissing about The Dems to take 5 seconds at what is getting done at the state level. Especially a place like NC. Looking forward to y'all joining the Virginia club.

I mean, I wasn't but since you it that way I think I need to reconsider!

Didn't expect this to swerve into Dan Savage's domain of expertise.

Don't think society writ large should give a shit about the understandings in a marriage. Lots of shades of gray here.

Fair enough, thx Sean.

Where is the Carlson stuff coming from? The team and player and talking next contract, the local blogs don't have anything here, and in fact suggest TvR is the blueliner on the market.

Seems it's a little bit X's and O's, and a little they don't have the horses. Or the wrong X's and O's for the current horses.

Menswearguy is forged in the fires of pre-social media forums. It's like the generations of seasoning your grandma's cast iron skillet has. Makes it, and him, indestructible.

Any of the fancy stats convert this to wins? Like, if they had a perfectly bog standard, middle of the pack PP and PK, what's that translate to in terms of the standings?

13 word headline, getting more wrong with every new word. I admire the efficiency at least.

Non zero chance 9/11 doesn't happen under Gore because there's less turnover and a more focused attention on obl.

What ifs, so fun, so frustrating.

The number of things I mention that my wife has no earthly idea is, quite frankly, one of her most redeeming qualities. "Did you know the Oystah guy in Maine..." "Who the fuck are you talking about?" God love her.
