I’ve wondered for a long time about when enough people will miss boring competence enough to reliably and persistently vote for it.

Haha - fair enough. My head ends up getting too far in front of my feet and it’s just a mess.

I’ve tried this and just absolutely cannot. Intently watching something messes with my equilibrium something awful. Wish I could, though! Is there some kind of trick to it?

Was introduced to Moxie when I was 13 or 14 and had it at every opportunity not because it was good (which is very much open for debate) but because it was so different from everything else that was available at the time. Same thing with Chaos Iced Tea.

And the amount doesn’t quite fit on it, so you append a sticky note to it with the last few digits or something.

That you accepted the request demonstrates the level of your commitment to the Proud Lilywhites, Spurs. Do better.

And stride, no less. Phenomenal.

My wife is from an area where they pronounce this word “greeziest,” and I’ve never been able to get behind that pronunciation until now.

And if you have the opportunity, support artists you know or admire by paying for their art! Or try making your own art! Art is awesome.

Just because he can’t help himself, Lane Kiffin is going to announce that he’s agreed to a deal to leave LSU and go to Penn State.
