To be fair to Trump's comments on Milwaukee. Milwaukee rests on Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan has a huge shark attack problem, and this was Donald's way of pointing that out. to folks the dangers of the Great Lake Shark. I mean Great White Shark. I mean Shark Lake. I mean Great White Lake.

Yeah, I think we talked about this on the old site, but Jason Alexander gave an interview just a few years after the show finished. And he goes into these stories about leaving the set to go home and he'd quietly watch/listen to Michael who has either on the set or behind it, just drilling down all these little movements and mouth clicks and mannerisms. And Jason was, and had worked with, very committed thespians. But he said that Michael treated it like a stage in that he knew they could go back during post and add emphasis to his clicks or head donks or falls, etc. But that Michael wanted to make it as loud and realistic as possible so he did most of that shit himself and had them mic it accordingly. And Jason says the truly amazing part was when Michael was doing all that goofy shit, some of which hurt him physically, he could just roll right into the dialogue be it dry or silly, and not skip a beat. And Julie and/or Jerry would crack up, but Michael broke the least of any of the 4. I wish I could remember who Jason gave the interview to, this would have been right about 20 years ago. It wasn't terribly insightful or entertaining, nothing you couldn't glean from the DVD commentary which started coming out about that time. But to hear Jason tell it like "I've worked with committed actors on stage and screen, but how Michael could switch from painful physical comedy to dry sarcasm on a dime was something I had never seen before and didn't even really knew existed." It was like Season 2 or so the way he tells it, but he mentioned other times down the road. Much as we all love to quote the brilliant writing, and as funny as the four of them are, there really was 'lightning in a bottle' chemistry' between them that can never be replicated.

As a kid looking at baseball cards, I used to think John Candelaria (winner of that game) looked like Booger from 'Revenge of the Nerds.' Then I found out Candelaria was like 6'7" and Booger (Curtis Armstrong) is about my mom's height at 5'5" Still, they both loved pure snow.

Yes. Rich Rhoden becomes the first pitcher to start at DH in 1988 this week, first time it happens in the 15+ years since the inception of the DH rule. Due to mounting injuries to a number of Yankees, Billy Martin calls on Rhoden (who hit very well as a pitcher in the NL) to start at DH. Rhoden has to borrow a bat from Mattingly, who is injured along with Randolph, Henderson, and Slaught. Can't find the box score, but how this didn't become the basis of a Seinfeld episode, baffles me to this day.

It's not quite "east", but it's that tract between Dobie and the South University Avenue "promenade" that just got revamped. It'll kinda screw up the line of sight between the tower and the capitol. Plus there's another project in the works just north of Rowling Hall. It'll be called the Dolores Clitoris Complex, or Mulva Plaza, please

Wait, who the hell said that?

Well, is the shark "woke" because it likes to attack people on boats powered by alternative energy? Or just ill-tempered?

"I think we're all comfortable remaining within the confines of.the.honor.system." /JerryContest The only Seinfeld trivia contest I ever played at a pub, it was 15 seconds to answer. So nobody could even really type that fast, then relay the answer, then enter it on the device. This was early days smart phone. You could audibly enter the query to shave time, but everybody else could hear you. Either you knew it or you didn't kinda thing. I did okay. My knack is for quotes and then Larry's denouement. But Biff can seemingly recall apartment numbers, intersections (not just 1st & 1st), restaurant orders, etc. It's a whole Rain Man thing with him apparently. I'm stuck on the JV team for now.

God was very specific about border security, electricity, and boat motors. Because countries, hydrocarbon energy, and powered watercraft were clearly laid out in the old Testament. He should know, he has "Been studying my bible for 40 years." Tomorrow morning, he gets to wake up and go buy some guns because he's clearly not batshit fucking insane.

so then Heidi says, "I've been watching you from across the bar. And I wanna tear you apart.........and your friend, too!"

Earth's shape, lame or funny? "Not unless round is funny." the guy that says we're living under a dome? wouldn't that suggest 'roundness' to some degree? You want to watch some heads explode, explain not only is it round, it's spherical. And not only is it spherical, it's slightly ellipsoid. Which these tough guy alpha males can tell by the degrees of latitude and longitude on the hunting GPS finders they sold at the pawn shop to send Trump an extra $200 this last week. Just like their wives, the Earth is slight more round around the waistband than it is "tall"

Holy shit, just got home from work. Did "Blues on the Green" get a massive sound upgrade? The orientation of the stage is different but it's literally louder through our home than the usual ACL headliners are. I guess I'm attending Blues on the Green on my front porch or maybe the neighborhood park in about 10 minutes. Wow, it's never been this loud and we either go every year or listen from the front porch. /csb

Well, to be fair to old Norman "Motek" Greenbaum, a lot of Jews had a friend in Jesus. They were called the Apostles. And everyday, they would go fishing together and he'd do magic tricks for them. He'd even be their winged man to help them pickup chicks. Still a great great road trip song for those reasons.

It says Christie's was on Barton Springs Road. I'm usually pretty good at recognizing the orientation of a building, but what is there now? The Hyatt?

Well first Jesus made a roux.

What's more annoying to me than my in-laws watching FoxNews or my cousins doing the same when they have us over in Hays County. Is they put it on, and set the volume at an insane level. And don't really pay attention. It's just like soothing white noise to them. If you want to sit intently and watch just by yourself at a reasonable volume, that's one thing. But to just blare it while we all socialize and cook and kids play so you can just be comforted by the voice of Jesse Watters.........that's fucking insane. Invariably, when people come over.......I do what I always do.....put on some background music. My own playlist, quiet classical, even the kids' favorite artists. And wife tells me it's too loud for her family. And it's 10/50. Her parents put on FoxNews at 45/50 and it's "Well, they like to keep up to date with current events." Well, CURRENTLY...I'm fucking annoyed at this event.

^ this. We topped a pretty big milestone in our home equity with this latest round of appraisals. And are very tempted to sell the house and move. Obviously interest rates play a factor, but our neighborhood's dirt and ISD are very coveted this time of year. But invariably, I think about the hassle of packing and moving and I just think "Meh, fuck it...we'll stay." I had 8 different mailing addresses before graduating high school. My wife only had 2 (born in one house and moved when she was like 15 months). I just assumed everybody in America moved all the time, maybe it's a Texas thing-I dunno. I've had 7 different addresses in Austin alone, in the last 28 years. We're 18 years in this house. I want the kids to have continuity, I suppose. And I'd like to get some bang for my buck for all the shit-ton of money I've paid to live in this 'elite' ISD that we poured money into almost 15 years before our oldest even set foot onto a campus. But in 13 years time, the little munchkin graduates---we're getting the fuck outta Dodge. I gave a presentation about the facade of low-tax/small-government narrative of Texas in a finance talk recently. But blended it in with philanthropy and education and civic engagement. A gentleman asked me, "If you hate Texas so much, why don't you just leave?"

So you literally ate two of Ann's platters? Kudos, sir. Kudos. For many years when i traveled back home to Chicago for work. I'd stick around until Sunday night or Monday morning to fly back to Austin. Finish work stuff up, see mom and some other family on Saturday. Then go into the city that night to hang out with old friends. And invariably get towed along to "Ass Mass" (lotta guys I grew up with were Irish and Italian). Wake up hungover at noon, get brunch with lotsa bloody marys, shower up, and head to church at 5:00p. And it wasn't even fair how easy it was to pick up chicks there. I usually had to head back to O'Hare that night but these guys would close ass like Chaz at a funeral. Sometimes I think about how odd it must feel for some of those guys and gals from 15 years ago to walk into the same parish with to get their new baby baptized, looking over at the pew where they were doing hungover handjob homily. What were we talking about again? Jesus. Yeah, that dude's alright...

Just embarrassing that a U.S. President would go out for ice cream. True Class and Statesmanship is hosting an official White House dinner catered by Burger King.

Like legit handicapped placards/plates or like 'Mentally Crippled'? I could see it going either way.

Me, "Well, what's the other conference breakout session besides "Christian Nationalism: Preventing Democrats from Ridding the Earth of the White Race"? Registration table, "Uh, we have one on eliminating homosexuality and another on women knowing their roles in society." Me, "Okay, well---I'm gonna go up to my room, check out the mini-bar and take up drinking again."

Pro-vaccine choice, Pro-practice choice, Pro-dumbass choice. He is so brave.

It is 1515 hrs. in Normandy. At this very moment, Supreme Allied Command is informed that Omaha and Utah have converged, thus completing the entire aggregation of all 5 landing zone forces. 80km wide, 30km deep. 18 divisions, 55k vehicles. All at this moment, locked in unison. Though there are very large, though disconnected patches of both Germany and Russia personnel on the Eastern Front, this is the largest connnected military movement in human history.

There's a "Ghostbusters" sequel in here somewhere if Bill Murray has the courage to do what is right. The Ghostbusters once again commandeer the Statue of Liberty to fight evil while Donald is jerking off the two ghost dicks to "Higher & Higher" song. And something about slime. And he looks like an orange marshmallow. All in Manhattan, near Trump Tower. I'm telling you, there's a script to be made.
