“…was way out of his league, but somehow banged him for two months and gave him unrealistic expectations for the rest of his life.”

What the hell was this from? I definitely need some context on this.

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

I was just thinking that myself. Poor bastard.

ballsofsteelandfury

I believe it was in last night’s Englishman post.

Cuntler

That was my description of what the 1985 Bears are to the typical Bears fan, thank you very much.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Bears preview.

Wow. Did you see the last comment on that article? PFTCommenter lives!

Worst “professional” sport in America. Glad I gave up watching this BS five years ago! Growing up in the TRUE golden age of the real NFL (the 1970s) I can’t believe how money has transformed this once hardcore, blue collar sport into a PC microcosm of itself. But the enablers keep tuning in.

Horatio Cornblower

Way too much spelling, not enough telling if you ask me.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

No dick jokes? Giant “Sponsored By” ad in the middle of the article?

Dear god, Uproxx has it’s final revenge on Ape…

Bloody Lethal

Why am I having a hell of a time finding new posts?

ballsofsteelandfury

Are you logged in?

Bloody Lethal

Cleared my cache…

Maybe you’re reading the print version.

“…lightly sniffling in foetal position in empty bathtub.”

It’s like you have cameras in my house. Wait…do you?

montythisseemsstrangetome

NO, WE MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT.

Btw, that picture is hung on your wall a little crooked, and I think the cat wants out.

I find myself instinctively drawn to, “…and shows no desire to do anything about it, with technology or otherwise.” I find the range of possibilities in which that could reference fascinating!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Agreed, I feel like that one is the pick of the litter here.

ballsofsteelandfury

Was that part of the Hitachi discussion?

King Hippo

Heh, no that was my ranting about the EPL powers-that-be turning a blind eye to the WWF-caliber officiating.

Covalent Blonde

Honestly, from my perspective, everything is an Hitachi discussion.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think the cordless vs. cord discussion could be as contentious as the Girl Scout Cookie debacle.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, gotta go cordless. Otherwise the cord gets wrapped around thin….Aaaaaaand I’ve said too much.

Covalent Blonde

But you sacrifice power, output, and longevity! Generally, one is not moving about from the garage to great room to the cellar whilst in use. Perhaps I am too sedentary….

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I have a set of these; with the Wand’s power consumption and the shear danger of running the battery down at the wrong time, I’m thinking these easily replaceable ones with lots of power would be the acceptable design.

ballsofsteelandfury

I gotta go with Covalent. Cord gives you consistent power output. Plus, there are such things as extension cords.

laserguru

The first time I encountered a cord was quite the eye-opener. I had been around some battery operated cordless devices and the first thing I thought when she broke out the cord was “Holy Jesus! She’s using power tools!”

I was only frightened for a brief moment.

nomonkeyfun

They’re making sentient real dolls now?

Sweeeeeeet, uh for a friend…
/backs slowly out of the room

ballsofsteelandfury

I had a very similar reaction, but then I saw how well it worked and I was a fan.

The Moroccan spice market comment was during one of the more “tender” moments.

sunrisesunrise

All he wanted was a little rub.

ballsofsteelandfury

That one reminded me of someone. I may have said too much.

Covalent Blonde

Is this another one of those jungle gym-massage parlor combos you and Yeah Right were so kind as to teach me of their existence?

ballsofsteelandfury

I am still super curious about that!

Actually no. it was this girl I knew.

But “jungle gym-massage parlor combos” needs to be on the next version of this post!

laserguru

As well you should.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m older; my balls hang too low now to in danger at the local jungle gym-massage parlor combo.

laserguru

And all this time I thought I was just giving recipes.

laserguru

In reality those places smell like massage oil and incense so not too far off!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Me too, but mine was more like “Just arrived in Marrakesh after a month on a camel.”
