The Swamp

A cup of Cheerios has 45% of the RDA of iron. I knew they were good for you, but I didn't realize they had iron, too.

An oral history of Boogie Nights (no pun intended.) But seriously. You should read it. This is...thorough. I'm about 1/4 of the way through and had to google one of the participants to verify she was just the girl we see in Eddie's bed for a couple of seconds at the beginning of the movie. It looks...

In. The Baseball Question was a good challenge. I'm looking at probably the most popular on that one.

He probably just needed to focus during team meetings. I was going to make that joke. I've been on Adderall for a couple months now, and it is life changing. For me, anyways. During my depressive episode, M-Tel and her mother diagnosed me (especially my M-I-L, because she had a BA in psych which ma...

I know I'm in the minority, but Pearls Before Swine irritates the fuck out of me. Not a fan at all of those shaggy-dog pun run ons.

Ngata... Ngata... Ngata gonna play again this year.

"Joe Barely Cares" and "Jon Kontract" are the Magic and Bird of 80's derisive NBA nicknames.

Thanks Rass. I didn't think Big Bang Theory was unfunny enough, now they have to diss my all-time favorite movie.

L-Jam3

I thought that Jordache Nelson was totally propped up by Rodgers, especially after those 3 or 4 drops in the Super Bowl a few years back. But that ~47 yard screen and run for the TD to end the first half was something I expected TO in his prime would do. That was a beaut.

L-Jam3

Maybe the two side blades are more of a defensive purpose (although not necessarily a Sith thing per se), such as a guard bell on a top of a hilt for an epee. Fuck it. I has the Millennium MuthaPhukkin' Falcon. I'm with Rass so as long as they tell a good story, looks cool, and keeps my interest for...

He needs a system that plays to his strengths. And of course he needs to be less afraid to get out and run, but maybe that's the system more than him. He doesn't seem to have any sort of grasp of what they are doing form the admittedly small sample size of me watching the Potomac Basin Indigenous P...

Updated total DVOA through Week 12:

AFCN:
4. BAL, 22.4%
13. PIT, 6.8%
15. CIN, 0.8%
19. CLE, -3.7%

NFCS
18. NO, 0.9%
20. ATL, -6.5%
29. CAR, -19.7%
32. TB, -31.3%

Good lord that's a shitshow.

L-Jam3

Ah, yeah. The outcries for that when this infrequently occurs always make me laugh. This kind of carnage, when it arises, is just fun in its own right. Yeah when the seahawks won the west at 7-9 and got to host the Saints, people (media) were freaking out, calling for immediate realignment, etc. It...

Going off of Week 11 (Week 12 won't be out until this afternoon), here's where they ranked and their total DVOA. 0% means the baseline average NFL team in 2014: AFCN 3. BAL, 22.0% 10. PIT, 6.9% 17. CIN, -2.9% 19. CLE, -4.6% NFCS 16. NO, 3.2% 20. ATL, -6.6% 29. CAR, -21.8% 32, TB, -25.2% CIN, BAL, an...

Or I work occassionaly.

Put me in the camp that doesn't mind if a shitty team gets in the playoffs every once in a while. I enjoyed watching the Saints go down to 7-9 Seattle. Sure, it sucks occasionally, when really good teams get left staying home (the 103-win 1993 SF Giants come to mind first), but does anyone look at t...

Not that it would change my already-submitted answer, but what are you considering a black SNL cast member? Are you using the one-drop rule? I was trying to remember them all, and unless I'm using partially black, I'm forgetting one. Carry on. The list was actually short one, so you're missing two ...

Goddamn! Read a book, Jerloma!

Carry on.

Wait, were you talking about Belichick or Smith? When I referenced Belichick, I was talking about when he went for it on 4th and 2 at his own 28 instead of punting to Manning in 2009.

L-Jam3

The Mike Smith meltdown suprises me a little bit, b/c I thought he at least in the past knew game situations. I remember him going for it on 4th quite a bit the first few years of his coaching, and it being the correct statistical call. Unfortunately for him, they didn't seem convert them regularly,...

L-Jam3

I don't get how you are being so incorrectly pedantic here. I'm only using my reasoning but the way I logically read it was this: We're looking for a military operation that resulted in at least 18,000 casualties post WWII which was either: a) A full war lasting less than 8 months, such as a war tha...

Christina Hendricks were in Drive? Maybe I'll need to see that sooner rather than later.

Inspired by AB's (unexplained) utter hatred for Biloxi Blues , here's the thread where we talk about movies we paid hard money to go see, only to say "fuck it. Sunk fucking cost." Mine was Hannibal . I didn't particalarly like it watching it, but in that last sequence with Ray Liotta, I go...

L-Jam3

With all due respect, Sabo, fuck you and the Reds for hating Diner.

ETA, fuck it. Let's start it a day early.

L-Jam3

Biloxi Blues is really underrated, by the way. See it if you haven't. Words cannot express how much I disliked that movie. Only movie I can recall walking out on. Why the hate? It's been 25 years or so since I saw it, but I can't remember anything sticking out in my head as particularly shitty. (An...

I can't remember if EGOTs were a SwampCrash question, but that's certainly a small enough group that can yield a good number of responses.

L-Jam3

Yeah, drop the hammer. And go to the party without oldest daughter out of spite. Be all like "nahh, you said you were sick. Don't want to pass germs."

L-Jam3

That's just flat out unforgivable blackness.

He was an EGOT. He absolutely deserves his own thread.

Fuck scrapple. Pork roll would fucking any scrapple any day of the week. Trenton's own. It's even on their city motto:

Well, duh, Delaware. Frank Francisco wasn't black.

And color me surprised that Colecovision ranked 12th of all time. Colecovision sucked.

For #2, casualties = deaths + wounded + POW, right? Not just deaths?

Seroiusly, can we start a new Random Thoughts thread, like I started that secondary Learn Something New Every Day Thread? I hate the fact that I have to see that colostomy bag's name every time this thread gets bumped because he started it.

Yeah, I generally stay out talking in music discussion threads. My basic belief with music has always been that the underlying goal for any musician isn't to tell their views or promote their art, but rather ultimately to get pussy (or cock). So to argue who's better at their pussy-getting ways seem...
