And also, it's not your house that's flooded, it's the whole street, and you guy lives three doors down and is going "Serves you right!"

(It's here that I maybe point out that I was viewing "gamifying dating" as a bad/dumb thing, treating human interaction -- and a particularly intimate one, at that -- as something to be hacked or, heaven forfend, "won."

This is also where I might go "Doesn't he have any friends he could ask for advice?," but, well.

And, like, I get it! You want to say the right thing after meeting someone, not so aggressive that it scares them off but not so casual that they think you're not interested. AND EVEN I, CLUELESS-ASS I, would have known not to go w/"Hey, Sarah, it was lovely to meet you" and figure that covered it.

It's gamifying dating, that's all it is. Maximize [outcome] while minimizing [outlay]. Dude wants sex without effort. As it happens, there's a very simple way of doing that, but he can't bring himself to do it because for this one thing and this one thing alone, shame still works on them somehow.

He's describing exactly some of the women who worked with me at my college radio station in the early/mid '90s. He's grousing about a style that was in play literally 30 years ago. Why not also go after the longhairs, dudes who wear skinny ties and the guyliner brigade while you're at it, Robert?

Incredible play that required the first baseman to forget three different rules of baseball and one of basic human metabolism ("If I run two miles an hour faster, I'll catch up with him"), all at once.

The man walked into two of the most notorious prisons in California, RILED UP THE INMATES FOR AN HOUR and walked away not only in one piece but a folk hero. What in the green green grass of home is this bullshit?

Someone once pointed out that it's weird that every insurance company has a sketch team, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

Every time I see a Liberty Mutual ad, I remain utterly baffled at the thought that they think that the Limu Emu and Doug are going great for them.
