  1. All I could ever think about, after reading that kid’s supposed opposition to women romancing each other, was the scene where Jerry (playing the part of the OU kid) tells George he’s not going to participate in the ménage, which George’s advice set into motion, and George (playing the part of Surly) is rightfully incensed and outraged… (Sadly I can’t find a gif for the best part of this exchange, where George yells at the top of his lungs, “ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?” J. Alexander nails the stunned/confused/outraged reaction there.)
  2. Blowhard politicians perpetually seek attention because that has basically become the job description for elected officials (no CR). There is nothing substantive or genuine or meaningful about it. Carnival barkers carnival barking.
  3. Holy shit, imagine writing something - and then doubling and tripling down on it - so fucking asinine (and pretty overtly racist) that you (rightly) get almost unanimously called out and shamed on fucking texags for it.
  4. https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/bul-bul0000392.pdf From a summary of the paper: The researchers found that overall, people were motivated to believe in conspiracy theories by a need to understand and feel safe in their environment and a need to feel like the community they identify with is superior to others. The researchers also found that people with certain personality traits, such as a sense of antagonism toward others and high levels of paranoia, were more prone to believe conspiracy theories. Those who strongly believed in conspiracy theories were also more likely to be insecure, paranoid, emotionally volatile, impulsive, suspicious, withdrawn, manipulative, egocentric and eccentric.
  5. the best thing about this point is that one of the guys Jimbo hired was Elko.
  6. Just checking in to say fuck Bud Adams’s fat decaying corpse now and forever, fuck his daughter, fuck his entire fucking family. Eat shit.
  7. Rep for NE Heights
  8. I really don’t know what he’s saying, but I am certain that it is fucking stupid.
  9. Imagine thinking that the desperation to grossly overspend on recruits lies with the blue blood program that is currently in the fucking CFP and located in Austin, and not with the historically middling program in the midst of a coaching transition that has been the butt of jokes for weeks, and located in a suburb unattached to any city and in the middle of nowhere.
  10. The thing about Aaron Rodgers is that he is one of those people who grossly overestimates his own intelligence, to the point where he mistakenly believes that he comes across as profound and interesting. Like a typical college freshman, more or less. It is annoying but fine if you’re like this at 19 years old; when you’re 40, it’s just kind of embarrassing.
  11. I mean, any Aggie player of note should express interest in Texas; I can’t imagine a better strategy for bilking more money out of them.
  12. Yes. Thus, if I were a manager, I’d play the players more likely to perform so that I’d look smart more frequently.
  13. Arbitrary time frame and short sample that means absolutely nothing.
  14. It is real, but the effect size described in the article was like 14 points of OPS. Which is something, but not an enormous difference over an entire season, much less a few games. There’s no reason to think Diaz is a great hitter when he catches and a terrible hitter when he DHs is there? Note: I agree, of course, that he should be catching; not arguing that. Just saying that I think it is almost entirely small sample noise that makes him appear hapless as a DH.
  15. Who among us couldn’t, am I right?
