I knew there was a sequel with a "Rise of..." subtitle and knew it was Kal Penn's character, but couldn't think if the character's name. Then I saw it for sale in the video section of a Big Lots yesterday, got all excited about the serendipity of it all and completely forgot about the confines of the question.

Exactly how can Providence be wrong? There are no other actual cities in Rhode Island. Just rest stops and gas stations off of 95. And Newport, but they're busy with the folk and jazz festivals.

I buy stuff in liter bottles all the time. Are you saying that they are cheating? Or that I'm not buying it in America? Liters are 100% American. It's litres that you have to watch out for.

Damn, this is beginning to feel like the Dallas game, where the Lions were deprived of their rightful Superbowl championship by conspiratorial NFL officials. Except I think my team here is the Bears. Confusing. But still deeply wrong.

Cerrano with back-to-back Jordans! Didn't know this was even possible in the modern era.

Are there going to be random drug tests in the play-offs?

Only 25% of 2014's top ten Swampers in the divisional round. You'd think that would correlate a little more solidly.

Yea. Half of Jerloma is still pissed about that battle question and was DQ'ed.

Basically don't draft any offensive linemen named Levi.
