That just seems like a bother to rub all over your head like that.
Anyone else think Fozzy Bear looks kinda like a chicken nugget? As much as I enjoy him, I fear he'll trigger a childhood based craving and eat Macdonald's POISON!

I made it to the playoffs in all three of my paid fantasy football leagues this year. In two of them I was the overall top scoring team. In one of them I was undefeated.
I lost in all three of them today. It wasn't even fucking close in any of them. I got destroyed.
Some days you are the hammer, some days you are the nail.

A voice in my head said I should say hi to @ThatNickGuy. The voices in my head are weird. 
Oh, and hi, @ThatNickGuy.

Don't be. I was just driving home from the grocery when it just popped into my head to give you a friendly hi. So again, hi.

It's my first day of vacation and my wife kicked me out of the house. She's having a Christmas party for Psi Beta (psych honor society). I guess I shouldn't have asked if I could make jokes about psych not being a real science.
Anyway, she gave me a coupon for a free movie and I am literally the only person in the theater. I'm at The Night Before because the matinee selection sucks. I wanted Spectre, but that would be another 1.5 hour wait. Here's hoping it doesn't suck.

You guys with your fancy beer selling gas stations.
Wh..what? This isn't a thing everywhere?
In canada, gas stations only sell maple syrup. It's actually what comes out of the pumps, too.
Our møøse-drăwn tobaggans burn through maple syrup.
This is probably a weird subform of schadefreude, but I generally get a bit of enjoyment of seeing when someone posts a really strong opinion about something generally unimportant, and basically all of their friends and respondents starkly disagree. Case in point, a friend posted about Pete Rose remaining banned from MLB for violating
It's a polite discussion, no exchange of "Fuck you"s or even slinging around the word idiot. But it's very clear that the OP has very little support on his wall on this subject. And that makes me chuckle.
The lone voice of support so far said, and I quote, "Well, he may have broken the rules, but he didn't cheat."
The responses are almost universally "No, he bet on games when he was a player and a manager, including betting on his own team, that's a pretty clear violation," as well as pointing out the Chicago Black Socks (Shoeless Joe Jackson, et al) being banned for life just on the suspicion of taking bribes to throw the world series, among others.Major League Baseball said:

It doesn't matter what you've accomplished with your life. If, in our society's eyes, you have done something wrong no one is permitted to appreciate all the good you did. Every historically important figure is being scrutinized against today's standards, and anyone attempting to appreciate their contributions is shouted down by people who focus on the bad things they also did.
Of course, if you, for example, made questionable calls on the team you happened to be managing because you had money riding on the line - or if you were in fairly deep with your bookie and needed to throw the game - that would tend to overshadow your individual accomplishments. Especially when those personal accomplishments include putting yourself in the lineup as a far-past-his-prime player instead of using younger talent that's on the bench, just to pad the record.
DEATH RAY! Your move.
Probably calling Jeremy Wade.
I see your calling Jeremy Wade, and raise you ordering a hoagie from Angelos!

My stepdad used to say, "one oh-shit will kill a thousand attaboys." Me, I call it "But you fuck ONE GOAT."
We need to sell it life insurance, that's the ONLY way to be sure!
BUT FREEZE THE WARLOCK!
That's also ignoring the tax evasion, for not reporting income made from selling autographs, memorabilia, and horse racing winnings, though he did serve time for that so that's more or less paid for.
