  1. I was shocked at the collapse. I'm not kidding when I say I got up, turned on the coffee maker, sat down to open cricinfo, and thought my wireless had dropped or something.
  2. You absolutely should. It’s so much better on second read. Here’s a picture I took at dawn outside Marathon. I think of BM each time I look at it:
  3. Stick with it, once Glanton shows up, the book takes off like a rocket ship.
  4. Blood Meridian is the great American novel. A book about violence, racism, and the beauty of the American West. It was the last book I read before my kind shaky vision pushed me to audio books. I’ve read it twice and already hungry to go again. And that was only one of multiple books he wrote that are amongst the greatest books in the 20th century canon.
  5. This is all I use it for, other than the DC subreddit.
  6. Whelp, I guess it was the latter. I woke up expecting this thing to be nip and tuck, and it was all over except the trophy presentation.
  7. I’ve said it once I will say it again: Look at the ocean. Swim in the pool.
  8. Yo, I got bad news for anyone whose stood in front of a Paul Gauguin painting for more than a few seconds…..
  9. I was a broke divorcee at the time. 5’9”. Don’t be a goblin and have a personality that people want to be around.
  10. My first marriage failed in my mid 30s with two small kids. I was dating an NFL cheerleader the week after I moved out. I’m not a looker by any means, but I keepish in shape and can make people laugh. I met my current wife not long after. Again: just don’t be a gross loser.
  11. Brisket hit the nail on the head: If you are interesting, employed, understand your dating pool, and make an effort not to be disgusting on the appearance/physical lifestyle front, it shouldn't be that damn hard. There are plenty of women out there who are also looking for companionship. But if you are going to box them all into the madonna/jezebel framework, don't be suprised when people don't want to sit across from the table from you and enjoy a nice seafood dinner.
  12. I don't know about all this "Women being un-realistic, thus horny incells are leaving the country" stuff, but on the upper eastern seaboard, every staright dude I know, even the tools, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. The ratio of single professional women to men is outrageous. Basically, have a full set of teeth, be able to put together a few sentences, and a have a job, and never sleep alone. Essentially the multi decadal demographic shift in college to being much more female than male has finally shown up in the dating scene on the east coast.
  13. Terrible in DC. Biden needs to get on the horn and let the 51st state know what’s up.
  14. This. It's encouraged in corporate. I've heard the phrase "Let's not reinvent the wheel here, just re purpose that memo from last week" a million times. It's also not consistent with IP law: you can't plagiarize your own work as long as you solely own the copyright. But the university holds all the cards here, so your BIL should tread carefully, smile and be deferential, and don't be afraid to apologize without a "but" if it'll get him out of this with minimal pain.
  15. I can’t believe y’all watch any of the Sunday shows. fun fact: I got shithoused at an Nanny O’briens a couple of seats down from Russert back in the day.
  16. The only solution for a bad biker with a gun is a good biker with a gun?
  17. Happy Pride!!! Y'all are fabulous!!!!!
  18. I mean, borscht is delicious…..
  19. Tom has an anchor baby with Shiv. He pulled a Liz Hurley.
  20. This. Tom, the grasping riser, is the only person on the show capable of showing any empathy or relatable human feeling.
  21. Logan knew it, as did Mattson. Logan despised it, Mattson used it.
