The Swamp

I wonder how many OB/GYN's practice circumcisions. I trust the experts. I'm gonna guess all of them. I would guess that most perform an average of one or more per day. I watched my kids get circumcised. They were both less than 1 day old and it only took a few seconds. A small amount of blood, a ba...

OK, so I don't watch Game of Thrones. What is this Hodor thing about? Is it a legit Swamper making some sort of really funny joke? Or is it just annoying?

Honestly, for you folks who are for it, nothing will be. That's the attitude! But yeah, if your only argument is that criminals won't play along, then you're gonna always lose that argument. Why outlaw rape, it's not like rapists are gonna check the local statutes first! Why check IDs to buy beer -...

That wasn't the most persuasive of arguments.

Global trade is a huge factor in the interconnectedness of today's powers and the idea that today's powers face different threats than historical ones. But I'd say global communication is an even bigger factor. There can really never again be an instance where one major power sneaks up and attacks a...

I'm gonna say that most societies (great or otherwise) in history collapsed because someone came in and conquered them. The long, drawn-out decline due to prosperity and the gays is actually fairly uncommon. Usually, it's the Mongols.

That's awesome. My sister was a professor at Stern for a while. I'm gonna ask her if she knows this guy.

Steely resolve and grit. Does the article mention if it was Kirk Gibson?

LOL

so, to make this serious... inspired somewhat by the college do-over thread. say you really don't like your main job and don't see a future there. (and are actively looking) you have your second job income that pays the mortgage and savings that would allow you to live well for the foreseeable futu...

If I have any fault, it's that I'm too deep into the NBA rulebook.

I was surprised by how interesting I found my Accounting class at Fuqua. For me though, having worked as a programmer at small companies my whole career, accounting provided great insight into how "real" companies were run and how they made money. That said, I would never want to be an acc...

I did a double major in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. While I actually really enjoyed that, in hindsight, I'd drop the EE part. It never really helped much. Instead, I should have still majored in CS, but taken a lot of business and/or economics classes. Maybe even a double-major or a...

I kow you're just joking but there was a lot more body contact by Burke: http://25.media.tumblr.com/31badb5356f3448ccd5c8efa8a78a65e/tumblr_mkzpb3Tuj81qm9rypo1_1280.jpg That still looks totally clean to me. There's gonna be SOME body contact on a play at the rim. Burke has just as much right to spa...

Back when I was in junior high, the one guy in the phys ed locker room who wasn't circumcised was an object of some juvenile ribbing/derision. I wonder if that possible issue affects parents' decisions nowadays? I wonder if it is any more common nowadays for a kid to be uncircumcised? Yeah, that's ...

The subway one? Yeah, that one didn't do it for me.

Wow I gotta get me one a them Final Four ladders!

I almost called out Howard and Scottie as two that would like that story. Rollins is a great storyteller.

And Iggy Pop is awesome.

This one's for Brian (although a lot of you will like it):

This is funny and awful at the same time. Well, unless it was a Syracuse fan - then it was just funny.

Done. It seems to have worked.

Wiggins will probably pick Florida State over Kentucky (I believe both of his parents were FSU athletes). So you may get your wish, but it'll come at the cost of him taking Joe Harris behind the woodshed 2 or 3 times next season. Joey Hoops will eat that kid up! (when he slides to help out Akil Mit...

Tired of people challenging me 1on1. Let me be direct. If ur white & not N the NBA u have No chance. If ur a brother, maybe...but i doubt it Was it here that I watched the videos of Scalabrine playing guys 1 on 1? Some radio station in Boston sponsored it because so many people loved to bash on...

I hope this kid doesn't go to Kentucky next year. The other 6 McD's AAs Kentucky already has probably are thinking the same thing. The kid is unreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLsK-ZoL9sY Yes, it's mostly a collection of dunks, but his spin moves and crossovers are equally impressive. He's the ...

I've been on countless teams as a player or coach since I was a kid. More times on than off in my life, I'd guess. Like the rest of you, I've also watched a hell of a lot of sports of different kinds and at different levels. I haven't seen too many cases where a coach was that abusive. Usually, it's...

I don't think I've ever seen Fallon's show. But I've liked a lot of the "Hey watch this!" videos from his show that people post various places - usually him doing songs of some sort. Like Johnnie, I've been impressed by his talent, because he never seemed that good on SNL. He basically got...

http://i.imgur.com/985hj47.gif That's pretty damned funny. I reallly wanted Kimbo to shoot the Governor right then and there. And I still don't understand where they went or why, unless they went back to the prison and are staking it out. Actually, now that I think about it, it's the only thing tha...

This song is like a year and a half old but Minchin likes to block some of his music from youtube so that people that see him in concert will have some new material to listen to. Anyway, there's some stand-up at the beginning but if you want to go right to the song it's at 5:25. The story he tells ...

I seriously doubt there's a woman basketball player out there insulted because Cuban mentioned this or that anyone else would like to see the result. Given they're not, you know, in the grips of the splendor that is womanhood. That said, when is the last time an NBA owner mentioned giving a woman c...

Absolutely no reason not to do that. In addition to the publicity garnered, it'll be interesting to see how bad she's dominated. I wouldn't draft her, but sure, bring her in for a workout/tryout. It can't hurt, but god do I get tired of this argument. It happens every couple of years, whenever ther...

I hadn't heard that one. Since we have our first GOP governor in forever and the GOP has had a majority in the state legislature for a while now, they'e been trying all kinds of crazy shit. Good times. Whenever these stories come up (e.g. the amendment to our constitution banning same-sex marriage),...

A college friend just posted that if you Google Image Search his name, you get a lot of pics of him ... along with one of a dick. I tried it and it's true. And funny as shit. https://www.google.com/search?q=Michael+Rinzler&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=pEZcUbCVGLHE...

I'm surprised he ever hits threes wearing button-down shirts and dress shoes like that.

I just watched the first half of "Survive and Advance" with my kids. Man, it's great. I had forgotten just how many games that team fell behind and won in the final seconds. It's staggering. And the characters - Valvano especially - are so compelling that it makes for great storytelling. I...

I just watched. I really liked it. High tension throughout. My one beef - and I think it's a pretty big one - where the fuck is the Governor and why wasn't anyone else asking that question? Shouldn't that have been among the first things discussed between Rick and Tyrese? I assumed Guv had gone back...

I got two Westinghouse 40" LED (1080P/120HZ) refurbished for $186 apiece. Yes, I know, Westinghouse refurbs should throw up a red flag, but why the hell not at that price and it's a business expense. When I was shopping for a TV for my bro-in-law for Christmas, I read a lot about Westinghouse....

3) I think there was a Duke Player leaning on him, in the air, and coming down with him (and I am not gonna look again to check; I could be wrong). Just a little extra force from the other player could make the crucial dif. No, it was just him. He had jumped by Thornton who had shot (and made? I fo...

Holy shit, that made me queasy. God. Just awful.

I saw an injury very similar to that in a high school soccer game. Kid was a few feet from me and he just stood there in shock holding his dangling leg in the air, screaming.

Ugggggh.
