Shit my ________ says

That's possible, who knows.

There's a certain kind of pseudo-intellectual for whom any competitive sport will bring their own inferiority complex into sharp focus.  Although they are tedious pricks with banal opinions they only half understand but are quick to spout, there is a certain kind of justice in that they also dislike themselves.

I mean, it is pretty true that a lot of professional athletes and other celebrities get away with crimes.

Sure, and the less I know about it the better.  But the dude comes off sounding like Pat.

[theinevitable]

Yeah, I mean.

Pat is right about two of those things. The point is that he shouldn't be a dick to his friends about it. Being aware of these dimensions of things we enjoy is good. The trick is trying not to look down on your horrible ignoramus friends who like rock music made by jerks and cheap hamburgers.

[Nabubrush]

You slapped him in the eyes?

I'm on your side here though. Just like a dumb hick from Coeur d'Alene shouldn't push LeGarrette fuck*ng Blount on the shoulder and not expect to get dropped.

You posted this just for little ol' me, didn't you?

[Asherdan]

Yeah, miles was pretty damn funny with that one.

[miles]

Yeah, it was an inter-thread shot for the Chip Kelly comment. All in good fun of course.

Bad in every language.

Edited to make clear there are two links.

Last year I volunteered to tutor basic literacy and numeracy for the local county council and needed to take an eight week training course.  The nice people at the council had thrown together a ring binder that we were working from, all of it in comic sans.  There is some evidence that a sans serif font may be useful to some people with dyslexia, but it became apparent that the way that information was eventually understood by council employees was 'Hey guys, we totally are not even allowed to use any other typeface than comic sans anymore!'.  I'm not an evangelical on this issue, but training materials written in comic sans did look like dog shit.

Is this a good place for this?

"Ugh, I hate this St Louis shit... like, listen to these guys talking. Would someone who wasn't from here understand anything they're saying? This is why STL is so insular."

Yeah, you're right. The conversation these local preservationists are having does rely on knowledge of local neighborhoods. Isn't that horrible!?

I run with a pretty cool crowd these days. That's what is cool, right?

[Nabubrush]

The cool thing is the same as it ever was - hate everyone and everything.

[theinevitable]

no wonder so many cool bands used to be grocery cashiers.

A liberal muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist.

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!”

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.

”How old is this rock, pinhead?”

The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian.”

”Wrong. It’s been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now.”

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the “poor” (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, DeShawn Washington, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist liberal professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!

The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named “Small Government” flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.

Semper Fi.
