Correct.

In the right direction, but not quite.

All incorrect guesses so far.

A rap musical about Alexander Hamilton has opened on Broadway. I patently refuse to believe that GPJ was not involved somehow.

I couldn't stomach actually watching the debate, but I've been trying to glean a summary of the reactions: - A lot of media pundits are declaring Kasich the winner of the debate, though that may not mean much. - Some online polls show Trump as the winner, because people are dumb. - Fox News was real...

"The military is not a social experiment." Actually, it kind of is. It's a society run without democracy under a guise of inclusiveness and readiness made up of volunteers from all walks of life from all over the country and world. And there's a rank system and funny rules. Only assholes ...

There is an acclaimed classical musician named Kim Kashkashian.

I came across this card and had to verify that it was real, and that "Joe Pettini" was not a '70s comedy where a woman puts on a fake mustache and goes undercover as a baseball player.

I like Zach Lowe's. I'd listen to Jonah Keri's if I still followed baseball as closely as I used to. The NFL one with Barnwell/Mays is pretty good but you have to get used to their idiosyncrasies. I'll listen to the Game of Thrones segments of the TV podcasts when it's in season, but beyond that I d...

Actual African guy politely explains why he and his people don't particularly give a shit if a lion dies. In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror. The American tendency to ro...

Being too much of an obnoxious reactionary asshole for that paper to like you is quite an achievement.

Saw a TV commercial for that. Furthers my conclusion that all consumer products will eventually be shaped like a gun and/or phallic object.

Possible (or probable) controversial opinion that's been brewing in my mind: was Frank Sinatra actually kind of a shitty singer? Not in terms of his vocal talent, which was obviously superb, but in his style of singing--just strikes me as lazy and unfocused, pissing away any semblance of melody the ...

eta: a pretty good wild guess. But I would've been wrong if asked to name the countries.

Yes.

What is the only national capital whose city limits border two other countries?

Shit. I grew up with the 80's Rock-'n-Wrestling era--I hated Piper at the time because I was supposed to, but in retrospect he became one of my favorites. One of the best-developed personas, a guy who understood his role as an entertainer and played it to a T. Plus he ad-libbed the greatest movie li...

Not that it was really "journalism," but Kissing Suzy Kolber's editor is stepping down, possibly spelling the end of the site . This site has a long history of riffing on news, culture, politics and just about any issue where satire works, which is basically most issues. Bowing to fears of...

"I'm Boy George. I set the standard for androgynous 80's pop frontmen." The key is to use a noun as a verb. So it would be "I Boy George at various locations worldwide. I set the standard for androgynous 80's pop frontmen." e: Also for what it's worth, if that girl had said her ...

Azerbaijan did the same thing a few years ago. Basically a no-shot bid designed to get them a little bit of international recognition and show that they were organized enough to put something together.

I get that you can't have people firing off guns every time they encounter something that annoys them, but the drone shit needs to stop. Imagine if every douchebag with a Google Glass gained the ability to fly--that's essentially what these drones are. Also, the guy should have used this: Second mee...

degenerasian wrote:Are people more mad about the killing of the lion or that he's a rich bastard?

That's a good point too. If the fee were 1/10th of that, the worldwide population of lions would have been exterminated by Floridians decades ago.

Johnny Carwash

If there was a cow that roamed free in a town and the residents liked it and then some smalldick paid $55K for trained hunters to lure the cow just outside of the town limits so he could kill it, you'd see plenty of outrage. Nobody lets cows do that though because there are lots of cows and there a...

I can get with that. I don't get why this particular lion is more sympathetic than any other lion. There's really a shitload of hypocrisy when it comes to people getting outraged over the killing of animals, unless you're a vegetarian (I am not). When you think about it, even this outcry of sympath...

yeah it's odd that some people, and especially people on those yelp reviews, are so appalled at the murder of another living being, yet have no problem at all torturing/ruining/murdering/flaying the dentist. Yeah. I was the one who first posted the story, so I was pretty quick with the "Hey, l...

I don't presume to have any idea around the legality of it all, but I personally think it's complete horseshit to demand unfettered access to someone's personal information in order to determine whether they cheated at a football game. It's not a fucking matter of national security. I don't doubt t...

Underrated in its awkwardness: when you're in a public place and two acquaintances who haven't seen each other in a while run into each other and start talking excitedly.

Looking forward to his meeting with Checklist #4.

'86 Topps were the first set I had a substantial number of, so that's some pretty cool nostalgia. That's actually a pretty good pack he got; almost makes me wonder if he's being completely truthful about it being randomly selected.

Thanks Bensell for putting this together and congrats to the winners.

The Ikea checkout page apparently does not work, on any device or on any browser, furthering my theory that is an elaborate front for a cult bent on world domination rather than an actual store.

Had a thought: what are some songs whose instrumental music has a good deal of merit, but are tarnished by bad lyrics and/or poor vocal performances? Here's the first one that came to mind for me. If this were purely an instrumental, it might be one of my favorite rock tracks of all time, but then i...
