This is not really the sort of post you’re looking for but I wrote it back when I was with Mental_Floss and it’s good for reliving the movie (which is easily the best baseball movie out there) http://mentalfloss.com/article/56212/… Read more

Thought Catalog is the worst thing written *by* millennials. This is the worst thing written ABOUT millennials. Read more

Oh for sure, I’m not knocking talking about this in theory. Just skeptical than any couples are ever like “great, glad we got that worked out. Should we include a clause in the prenup? how about the wedding vow?” Read more

Is Bill that surprising answer? A decade ago Bill had some serious charisma. Read more

Tell me more about this anchovy-lemon dressing, it sounds so legit. Really just lemon and anchovy? Read more

This is a good argument. I will consider updating my internal superpower rankings.

No good funny answer: just genuinely happy to be here. Read more

Replying to say how at home I feel here at the Deadspin offices knowing everyone would ditch wings. I, too, would nix wings before many many other foods. Read more

You don’t *have* to plan but you do have to realize that 15 minutes will seem way longer if you don’t. Read more

Bake bread. It’s insanely satisfying and super cheap (so if you mess up you only wasted time and some flour). If you want something that’s a whole meal at the end of the day, make bread dough and then use it to make focaccia. Read more

What if you got bored but then instead of doing something stupid did something awesome? Read more

I would love to be within walking distance. But being *so* close is definitely not better than being slightly further but still walking distance away. Read more

This is completely true and I regret not having thought of it. Read more

I’ve seen and really don’t get this argument. My last name has been my last name from birth. Just like it was my father’s last name from birth. Is it more “his” last name than mine because he’s a man? Or because he’s older? It’s not “my father’s name”—it’s a whole bunch of “Keyser’s” (men and women) names. Including… Read more

I have suggested that we use the name of the first street we cohabited on as our new last name. He doesn’t love it and I’d probably need a lot of mulling it over to feel realistically comfortable with it. But it’s not a bad idea to go entirely different. Read more

This is a great point and going through the work to feel closer does actually appeal to me. And so does the idea of being the “LastNames” as a family. Which is part of why this choice seems so difficult. Read more

Honestly, the idea that my fiance would have to “allow” me do anything weighs pretty heavily in my wanting to keep my own name. I do think that if things were more even overall, it would be a less fraught choice and I would be *more* likely to consider taking his. Also! Congrats on the upcoming wedding/strong… Read more

I love this solution, and it doesn’t sound overtly portmanteau-ish. Read more
