Missed 'em both. Somehow when I read the city question, I thought "capital" city and that threw me off. The band question seemed so easy once I saw the answer.

I read that earlier today. He does sound like a serial molester of young girls. Crazy stuff. I had ignored their previous KJ pieces, because I just wasn't that interested. From that one, and assuming there's some truth to it and the other stuff they've written, he's a real asshole. It's funny how di...

Hopefully that's granite and not marble. Marble is a shitty counter surface, because it's actually pretty soft.

In Haggard's defense, Dawkins DID come across as very arrogant there. Granted, he was totally right, but his delivery was condescending.

Fuck me. I got half of the answer right, but had the wrong word for the other half.

I've heard the title. Never seen/read it or realized it was "huge."

I'm listening to the Ryan Adams now. I actually haven't listened much to either him or Taylor Swift - outside a few of her big hits on this album. It definitely reminds me of some late 70's Springsteen. Or maybe the slightly poppier 80's Springsteen, actually. Bad Blood just doesn't work in this sty...

The e-cid/vaping explosion has been pretty startling. Suddenly now, you can't drive through a small town without seeing some Vegas-style, light-covered TOBACCO store. I had forgotten that those things (tobacco shops) used to exist 20-30 years ago. Now there are more than ever. I"m assuming this...

I think it says it all when he considers a book written over 150 years ago to be "relatively new science." (while talking on a microphone, and being recorded on a video camera) 150 years is a much shorter time, relatively, when the history of the Universe is 6,000 years rather than 13 Bil...

Sure, Jesus is a big scorer in Draft King of Kings, but he's just priced too high. If you want to win, you're going to need some value picks. I recommend taking a look at Artemis and possibly Anhur as sleepers who can really score big for you at a reasonable price.

I'm in as Swamper Rerun. Didn't want players to think I was impersonating a woman.

It's been a long time since I've been this far above .500.

If the Jets hold on in this game, ljam will win our Survival pool in week 2. Wow. In the other pool I am in, it's down to two players after this past weekend.

Fucking Brees.

I should have gotten the poem. It was the first thing I thought of, but I immediately thought that was too obvious for Jeopardy and went with some stupid guess.

I've got pop-up ads (as separate tabs) all over the place in Chrome all of a sudden. 3 or 4 removal tools haven't helped. Reinstalling Chrome hasn't helped. It happened during one day last week, then disappeared, then returned today. Doesn't happen in other browsers. Don't tell me to change browser...

Actually, it looks like I picked Green Bay in the Swamp pool. Huh. Well, that worked too. But I had Dallas in the one I have money in.

And my survivor pools thank Tom Coughlin for that. Whew!

I did have to sign some sort of form(s) with the NCAA to be able to compete though. I think it was just an agreement to follow their rules, not get paid, not do drugs, etc.

Has there ever been anyone, anywhere who thought the Coneheads were funny? How the fuck are they in a commercial in 2015?

I caught about 5% of the lyrics. It was something about Detroit and two penises?

It's time for another episode of Dave Goes To The Movies (Dave actually sits on his sofa and watches old movies on Amazon Prime)! (probably some spoilers ahead, but these are all old movies) The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version with subtitles) - I recently listened to this book, which I ...

Nike made an awesome video for themselves and the University of Oregon. They recreated the toga party scene from Animal House with famous Oregon alumni.

OK, this helps heal the pain of today's football loss. UVA just signed another top-100 basketball recruit, DeAndre Hunter (just sounds good with a name like that). ESPN has him at #79, which is actually the lowest ranking of their top 4 guys. Earlier, you may recall that I wrote that Bennett would n...

Dammit, this is not going to end well. I knew it. But of course, the football gods had to tempt me first. When Virginia scored with just under 2 minutes and ND only needed a FG to win, I was very worried. ND had moved the ball all game, but they were playing their backup who hadn't looked that good...

UVA with the lead!

I love this Harlem lacrosse commercial.

I really feel like I should be all up in this thread with anecdotes and important info considering where I live, but I'm being ignorant with the rapidly approaching timeframe of when I'm leaving. I can tell you that Germans are completely opposite of Americans when it comes to people from other cou...

Virginia got their asses completely kicked by Notre Dame in the first quarter today, but something clicked after that and they are giving the Domers all they want in this game. Note 1 - a kid from my high school (CJ Prosise) who had never played RB before this season looks like an All-American. Not ...

It let me in now. Weird.

I've never gotten used to the idea that Jim Caldwell was able to land an NFL coaching job. Twice. He was a thoroughly shitty coach at Wake Forest for years. When you're a shitty coach at a shitty football school and you get fired, you kind of assume the career isn't heading up from there. In fairnes...

It's telling me the password is wrong for the survivor league. I tried 1202 / frog.

Friend just sold his house for 75k more than he paid for it. Granted, that was 10 years ago, but still, nice little chunk of cash. Obviously it depends on what he bought the place for, but that's not exactly great appreciation for a house. It was about a 40% increase in value. Seems pretty good to ...
