The Swamp

Death of a Troll I think all Swampers will see a lot of eerie similarities here. A brilliant, but pain-in-the-ass longtime member of an online community is eventually banned by the mods. Some time later, he commits suicide. But the story's not over there. “Many people will probably wonder why I’ve ...

Not sure I can think of a fourth song.

Here's Ted Cruz in a heartwarming exchange with his daughter, trying to prove that not everyone hates him.

See, this is more my speed.

I love this clip of one of these apparently in action. The dude wrecks, and yet his bike's wheel keeps spinning and actually driving the bike away from him.

From what I've seen, there are a few bears in the Mad Max movie too.

UVA.

I know. But I didn't go to UVA. I was just playing with wlu.

I haven't seen Mad Max yet, but from the reviews I've heard/read, it seems reasonable to nominate it. A movie isn't just about dialog. Isn't The Revenant largely without dialog as well?

Did she go to Wash U?

Hey, I'm not too proud.

Steph Curry's upside was a combo guard/three-point specialist coming off the bench. Yeah, I was dead wrong about Curry. Granted, [nobody] foresaw what he's become (probably not even himself), but I wasn't even convinced he could stay in the league. If I remember correctly, I think I was leaning Ode...

I was born in nearby Radford, VA. My family lived in Blacksburg, but there wasn't a hospital there at the time.

Oh, and Henry Lee Lucas was from there too.

He'll just masturbate later.

I'm not sure I could love anything more than I did the way UVA played today against Louisville. That was as good of basketball on both ends of the court as any games they played in the past couple of years. The defense all year has been a step slow, but not today. They cut off everything Louisville ...

I had a hard time picking between Carson, Cruz, and Huckabee for scariest. I eventually decided that if you factor in the extreme high risk for complete, embarrassing incompetence - think Inspector Clouseau as president - I had to go with Carson. At least Cruz and Huckabee have enough experience to ...

So, I've been listening to Serial, season 1 during my drives this week. I think I just finished ep 9 of 12 total (I think). And ... at this point, I just haven't heard anything that makes me convinced that Adnan didn't do it. When I first started, I was very intrigued about getting to weigh all of t...

Damn. I wish they'd go back to comics. I'm a bit weak on my 19th century British musicals.

Absolutely. There is some gray area for sure. But the Patrice O Neal stuff was blatant. And I give a bit of leeway to her not checking her writers, but that one with the Magician was ridiculous. Yeah, the Patrice one was the most damning to me. I don't think pulling sex acts out of urban dictionary...

Yeah, I watched that video the other day. A few of those look to me like cases of different people coming across the same ideas. And not crazy ideas that you wouldn't expect anyone else to come up with (the idea that married women dress husbands in unsexy way has been around for decades). A few of t...

Here's another excuse for Obama wanting these evil people out of confinement you already know this anything that Obama wants is to do the opposite he's not talking of people that don't need to be confined 24 hours a day he's talking about the ones that do need to be confined for 24 hours a day he's...

Had to read that about three times just to parse it.

Virginia just won the craziest fucking game I've ever seen. They won with a banked (from the wing) three at the buzzer from a guy who hadn't taken a shot all night. That's not all. UVA hit three threes in the final 14 seconds. They went 4-4 from 3s in the final minute (18 points in the final 1:30). ...

If they keep going with trivia that can be answered via comics, I might keep getting them right.

I only watched the last 10 minutes or so, but holy crap could NE's line not keep Denver off of Brady. Even when they only brought 3, they got into the backfield every time. I don't like the Patriots at all, but Brady is one tough MFer.

I wish Chelsea could play Arsenal every week.

This goy stands by his cinnamon raisin bagels. Some people just can't stand fruit or nuts in their bread. I'm not one of those.

It sounds like Buzzfeed may have stepped in it a bit with their story on match fixing in tennis. If you haven't followed it, they published a big expose identifying purportedly suspicious betting patterns for certain unnamed players' matches and argued htat the most plausible explanation was match ...

Thanks, I made it home with no problems. There was really nothing on the road until I got within 30 miles or so of home. Saw a lot of power lines down though.

Yeah, there are certainly worse places in the world to be stuck. But, I'm trying to get home to my family. I haven't seen my wife or kids in three weeks.

This fucking storm. I was supposed to be flying home this morning. I checked before I left for the airport and my flight was still on and on time. At the airport, I got my boarding pass and I was in line in security, literally emailing my wife saying all was good when I got the text that my flight w...

That doesn't sound like the correct use of extenuates to me.

I voted the plain with chive, but I'd actually choose a poppy or sesame seed with plain cream cheese, normally. Although if it's a true breakfast option, lots of times I'll go with the cinnamon raisin with plain cream cheese. Great stuff.
