Apparently the fans in Cincinnati were chanting "F*** the Mormons" at the game against BYU on Saturday. This is obviously rude and classless and altogether what I expect from benighted corn-fed Midwestern rubes. But it made me think of this, so maybe it's ok:

It's good that it's only 30%, but keep in mind you'd get the same results if you worded the question, "Do you support an unnamed thing that Trump supports?"

Pour one out for Clock. I bought Clock for $10 at Walmart in 2001, changed the battery maybe 3x in a quarter century, and was reliably told the time by it till last night, when it fell (leaped?) from the wall and broke on the floor. Probably the best value I’ve ever gotten on anything I’ve bought.

I'm in this situation where I had a one-night stand (it was Game 7 of the World Series!). I made it clear that things weren't going any further, but now they keep blowing up my phone. Do I just keep ghosting them? They're making it awkward.

What do we think about a company that makes bourbon in honor of police officers who die (on the job or not), all the proceeds allegedly going to the family, but who DON'T ASK THE FAMILY FIRST? This is my cousin, a non-drinker who died in a way unrelated to police work. Thanks, I guess? Seems tacky.
