Nicely played. I guess they stuck him on the cup to keep the Worm out of the food. Read more

And your disdain gives me the impression that you may be sort of a jackass. Read more

Not at all — a big thanks from this side. Fixing now. Read more

Yeah, I blipped this earlier, too, but it got erased. I don't know why. I suspect a tag-team effort between me and Kinja. Enjoy. Read more

I think this line of reasoning works as well if not better on the common gripe that such-and-such fans don't support their team by coming out to games. Read more

Before you start thinking Craggs would write a $5 word without knowing precisely what he's doing, allow me to suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanuensi… Read more

That's great, from Cole. He went scoreless in Game 4 and Game 5, then was a DNP COACH'S DECISION last night. Been a rough series for him. Read more

My father, who never misses an opportunity to parent other people's children, let me in on a bit of dad ninjitsu when I was well into my twenties.
