It's funny because it's true.

I read the latest funbag and I think I have turned into Drew Magary. Every thing in that was me.

Yeah. Those have been pretty great for a good while now. Between Funbag this week and the annual Williams-Sonoma catelogue article, a good week for reading Magary.

His takedown of "tweetstorms" in the last Jamboroo column was awesome.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2016 10:29 am**

The two things that make Drew hard to read for me even though I still do it in one sentence: His CONSTANT use of ALL CAPS and fake names like GLENNLYN.

He was on Jonah Keri's podcast recently.

And if he's having a good week, it's nice to see he bounced back from this.

You know he fisked that column after what happened, right?

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2016 11:26 am**

No idea what 'fisk' meant until I googled it. And further googling isn't showing how he fisked the column. Link, plz? I'm unaware of said fisking.

Scroll down to the Gregg Easterbrook Memorial Dipshit part of the column:

Good for drew. The self-fisk is the hardest fisk of all.

There are a couple of "models" on FTV Girls that would disagree there...

Oh, fisking...nevermind.

Now with the kid losing in this weeks jamboroo. Jeez. Get outa my head, MAGARY.

(He also fears the Subway rueben)

Why do parents threaten their kids with coal for Christmas? At least coal has a physical, tangible form. And despite what BIG RENEWABLE ENERGY tells us, it's as clean and as efficient as ever. If we really want to punish our kids, we should give them lump of sunshine or wind in their stockings.

That's right Tannynn, you shaved the dog, you get NOTHING!

Thank you.

Looks like me and rass both made the funbag this week.

I totally co-sign on the soothingness of watching ice melt as well.

Had to skim it again to get that one.

If anyone here likes Triscuits, fucking get it out in the open right now so we can deal with it

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 4:54 pm**

I can deal with the Black Pepper and Olive Oil ones, but they aren't my favorite. Cheez-its way too low on his list.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:00 pm**

Love triscuits.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:20 pm**

Yeah, Triscuits are great.

Third and a halfded (confusing AB).

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:23 pm**

Take a brick of cream cheese, put it on a plate, pour worcestershire sauce all over it, and scoop/carve with a triscuit. Delicious.

I commented on the Deadspin post, but I'll repeat it here: In my neighborhood, there is a super old-school broiler/steak house restaurant (home of "The Best Rob Roys in Town!") that uses Cheez-its as croutons on their salads.

Triscuits are great.

I just meant that I like the store brand better. Our store calls them Wicker Pillow Greats

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 7:04 pm**

That's a good wicker joke that wasn't already used.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 9:00 pm**

There are new Smoked Gouda Triscuits and they are spectacular

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:39 pm**

They should have stopped at the cracked pepper and olive oil. Those things are snack-fection.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:44 pm**

I love the originals, can tolerate the low salt, find the rest p awful

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:59 pm**

Also normal wheat thins are subtlety sweet and I don't dig it, but if you can find the multigrain ones, total game changer.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 11:10 pm**

There is no better cheese-delivery system than a Triscuit.

Wow. Ted Cruz just destroyed Deadspin.

Not for nothing, Deadspin has been great recently, in my opinion. It kinda always (I'm a fan) but in the last few weeks, extra good. And this is fascinating:

http://deadspin.com/the-fallout-from-sp ... 1797691830

Writes DeLeonibus in the tenth paragraph: “Sparkman started last year and will be back on defense. He plays a very physical, tough-nosed brand of soccer.”

Yawn.

Writes DeLeonibus in the eleventh paragraph: “Watson started last year as a defensive player. He works very hard and has good speed.”

Yawn.

Writes DeLeonibus in the twelfth paragraph: “Dixon sucks donkey dicks and doesn’t wipe the shit off before practice. We like to keep him at the sweeper position so his sperm breath will stop people from penetrating to the goal. Speaking of penetrating, he prefers tall, red-headed guys. Told me to tell Kris he said ‘hello.’”

Wait.

What?

What?

The story of the most flagrant mistake in the modern history of sports journalism begins with a 21-year-old editor. His name is Kris Freeman. He has red hair and a soft southern drawl and an earnest belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Back in the early 1990s, he was the kid at Portland (Tenn.) High who dreamed of one day becoming a reporter, and devoted his weekends to stringing prep football games for the News Examiner, the local thrice-weekly 12,000-circulation paper. A workmanlike scribe with a love for the craft, Freeman was smart and dogged and precise and as reliable as running water. He submitted clean, on-time copy, and local coaches came to enjoy his work.

Damn. That was a good, and surprisingly sad, story.

Yeah, helluva read all the way around.

And here's another pretty awesome gem:

Not sure how to describe it. If you are on the twitters, you will really enjoy it.

I love Roth.
