I have to admit, I’ve been getting down about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of the world

This is probably my favorite scene in both the books and the musical
A snake crawled out of the grass. “If Toad looks funny in his bathing suit,” said the snake, “then I, for one, want to see him.”

“We want to see him too,” said two dragonflies.

“Me too,” said a field mouse. “I have not seen anything funny in a long time.”

It’s a hell of a thing to be a lawyer and watch SCOTUS destroying the republic in real time from their high horses.

If you haven’t been through a pre-Trump indoctrination of sacred doctrines like state decisis and statutory interpretation, you might think it was always like this.

Listen, outside of the OG Star Wars trilogy, I’ve probably seen the first three Indiana Jones movies more than anything else, but Bull Durham, Monty Python (both Holy Grail & Life of Brian), Raising Arizona, and Princess Bride all have to be close.

SMU lost 3 games when they had a lead in the final minute this year. All 4 losses included blown fourth quarter leads.

But I can walk to this game with my Owl kid. Hooting imminent.

Sad my alma mater isn’t in the Mayo or Pop Tarts bowl but also they are dumb and do not deserve good things so whatever

I got this far in December 6 before wishing you all a Happy Woolseymas. My apologies.

Happy Woolseymas! 92 years since district judge John Woolsey ruled that Ulysses was not obscene and could be legally sold in the US.

Good to celebrate these things while we still can.

We restored the zip ties on baby Jesus. The #Christmas story is literally about an authoritarian ruler using violence, causing fear, and eventually driving the holy family to become refugees in Egypt. The parallels couldn't be more clear between scripture and our nativity. We're not going anywhere.

Still better than that little hill they had in center at Enron Field

Nice - congrats!

But he can rest on it between pitches or on plays in the infield, which is good for his rickety old man back and legs
