I'm going to have to pass on Marillion tonight at the 9:30 Club in DC, because I have no friends (locally that are into prog rock).

I'm a big fan of the Pale Joe Ale from Founders.

How pissed off is Simmons that he didn't come up with @Midnight?

I was listening to the Richard Deitsch sports-media podcast yesterday, and his guests (John Ourand and Jimmy Traina) were talking about Simmon's and his show, and one of them predicted it would be cancelled after one year. They were saying that one of the problems was the day it was on. On wednesda...

Apparently the voters think that Donald Trump is more "honest" than Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that Trump's campaign has been a series of lies from start to finish. Illegal immigration increasing. Unemployment increasing. High crime rate. High taxes. Illegal immigrants pose a crime...

I'd be all over Cleveland +134 tonight. I'm all over them already at +180 to win the series. I would think that as a general rule, betting against Cubs fans is a good strategy. If I had known I could get Cleveland at +180, I would have poured money into that. Win-win for me. I know everyone outside...

Given their respective futility streaks you have admit a Game 7 would be even bigger high drama than it normally would. It would just invite a mid-stadium plane crash or a hurricane or something. Lake effect hurricanes are the worst. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of N...

Sure, though millions of votes have already been cast in swing states. There's a weird disconnect between the popular vote polling (where Hillary is ahead between 4 to 5 points vs. Obama's 2 points in 2012) and the electoral math. Trump has to basically hit the equivalent of a four-team parlay in s...

A bunch of the southern schools have made leaps. You look at schools like Elon, Davidson, Sewanee (School of the South), UNC-W, and SCAD. These all seem to be moving up academic rankings all of the time (while providing great atmosphere). My wife went to Elon, back when it was just a college. It's ...

Okay so it sounds like a road trip from KY to Baltimore. Got the slightly southern route (i.e. 81 v 64). Without taking into account $ I would consider the following on your road trip. Pick one way on the outbound and another on the return * Richmond * UVA--Cville is a big enough city * Maryland Co...

Does anyone here know how to copy music from an iPhone to a PC (and then back to another iPhone)? I got a replacement phone, but I've tried backing it up three times, and each time a few hundred songs won't copy over. The guy at the Apple Store says that not all music will physically copy over when...

My problem with The Walking Dead is that it attempts to make a serial out of dystopia. I don't want to watch the TV show, Snowpiercer , because it'd suck. But it was a damn good flick just the same. If they'd make the episodes 90 minutes and cut the fat and made two seasons, letting it be known at t...

I just want to see any prominent Muslim, especially one as well spoken as Mr. Khan, become more permanent fixtures in the media. Not just every 4 years when political parties need them. Speaking of which I kinda wonder what someone like Shahid Khan thinks about all this shit. He's a Muslim and empl...

I don't think your sample is in any way representative of the entire population, but what do I know? What do you mean? What I talk about in private with friends?

Those are pretty old school knob jobs. It's probably going to be tough to find what you are looking for that will look nice unless you put something like this over it to cover the bottom hole (which won't be neccesary for newer knobs with in-handle mechanisms.) http://www.signaturehardware.com/medi...

Shades of '95 v the M's. Probably my favorite non-Cub baseball memory. The Mariners were a joy to watch during the last part of that season. My most puzzled Cubs-related memory is why the fuck didn't they like each other enough to sit and stand next to one another to take a normal picture, like eve...

There's the whole "Wetteland is a huge weirdo" aspect too and the fact that they let him go after 1996. There was definitely another level there. Yeah, but after 96 Rivera had established himself, and they viewed Nelson as Rivera's replacement at setup (and signed Mike Stanton of course)....

(And Wetteland had shit all over himself the day before, so there's some level of managerial logic there. Kinda.)

Yeah.

Except it was an elimination game. Eh. What's done is done, and though Torre had his own brain shart in '03 Miami, glory still abounded.

The problem with the road team in an extra inning game withholding their best relief pitcher until he can protect a lead, is that it presumes the last out is more important than the next one. You can't make that assumption, without knowing when the last out is going to get recorded. So freaking stup...

I, along with many other baseball fans, have long suspected that wasn't blood on his sock.

His bizarro-world views on things tends to lend credence to that suspicion.
