That was a really good job, Drew. Thanks for reposting.

I and the Frau left in extra time, after the 3rd Stuttgart goal. It was raining inside the stadium, we were surrounded by drunk-ass VfB fans being shitty to everyone around them, and Yussi Poulsen just missed a glorious overhead and apparently broke his fucking hand or something. It was bad.

I am Cauliflower III.
But, I mean, he’s Pope Bob. This is heavy.

RBL is my club, but even I know…this is just not done.

This is very good. You should be proud.

Well, thank you. And I don’t need to prolong the discussion, but I’ve been eating that pizza since 1998.

Gosh. I love pizza in Germany. Tastes way more Italian than an American pie.

Does anyone see Leipzig troubling Bayern in the slightest at this point?

Our model has collapsed and I really hope Klopp can point a new direction. Being the world’s greatest feeder club has gotten old as hell. Plus Xavi is a pain in the ass.

RBL, if you can’t guess.

How about academic administrators? Permanent managerial classes are a bit of a drag everywhere.

Man, I get it. But Ossies need a team, too. I hope someday they figure it out, but the hate for RBL while Wolfsburg and Bayer skate get a little old.

Chaplin is often dismissed with a hand-wavey "Oh, he had pathos" but the political content of his comedies has been aging like fine wine, unfortunately.

True. Ironically, I had the worst Indian food of my life in Athens. Full circle.

I’m a big fan of Drew, but this is a huge swing and miss. Goldberg showed real guts and good judgement throughout, and did get what he needed.
What was that? Proof of the incompetence and adolescent atrocity-adoration of these goons, more clearly and embarrassingly than anyone else has yet.

Yeah, we’re kind of on a roll around here.

Well, I cannot argue with that. But surely they wouldn’t can him if he wins the cup again?
Sorry, Manchester United is calling me, as improbable as that sounds…

What does Marco have to do to keep the gig?

Hope we can get together in May.

If you’re in History, say hello to the Garrison conference room, where I’m sure the ghosts of my defense still roam.

I am an old, in relative terms at least, and I also find it “cringe.”

Many things, but one is that Peter Gulasci played out of his damn mind.

Well, if not totally ok with it, at least willing to do it when their boss told them to, which is functionally very similar.

That game was a real drag, and Marco seems to have the stink of death on him, yes.

Musk, Bezos, Zuck, and Tim Apple would like a word.

I dunno. It looks terrible but the credit union has been called that since 1989 and has been in SLC since the 30’s. Am I supposed to just throw away all my Francisco Franco-branded socks now? Cause those are comfy. A little tight, but secure.

This is a very odd and unattractive take. You were “opposed to the war?” What on earth are you talking about? You think the Ukrainians were for it?
