Probably a lot of times you watched when the Jets didn't make it, eh?
Weird, didn't this dude just collaborate with Bon Jovi?
Agreed with most everything about that season ruining me as a Patriots fan and not being happy unless they were up 24, but as for being relieved by that catch? No fucking way. Still not over it. When they lose again tomorrow it will feel ten times worse. Ugh. I hate football.
Any idea how that sort of thing is not a scam? My, uh, friend wants to know.
Are people aware of the thing with 47? Pomona College and all that, and how it's become a trope in science fiction over the years? Was coming here to read about this last Fringe episode, which had a 47 reference (Jones built 47 shapeshifters), which was coming off the heels of the last Alcatraz, where the sniper kept repeating 47 as a mantra, and saw this (image attached): 4,747 views, 47 comments. COME ON!
Obviously what's going on here is the extreme results of dehumanaizing the enemy to the point that they're robbed of their personhood. The stream of piss is a metaphor, right? Meant to exhibit distance between the target and the pisser. That's typical of any war, right? But you're gonna have to piss really long and hard to blast yourself up and away from this situation, marines.
That makes a lot of sense. I just noticed your front door was opened so I came in and took pictures of myself in your bed. I'll post them soon. Just wanted to help you out bro.
Where do you work dude, that dungeon in Hostel? WTF kind of torture is that?
Way off on the scratch ticket etiquette my friend. You have to come to an agreed upon contract before hand. I have a group of friends that always brings scratchies back whenever we go to get them (like drugs, it's more fun to share the stash. Also it means you're not some sort of solo scratch ticket rubbing degenerate). We'll say "anything over 500/1000 and we split it."
You could take your stance, but you're going to have to be willing to sacrifice the friendship/family connection for cash, which brings up the question, how much is worth it to do so? Will depend on the level of friendship/love of course.
As an unlikable and provincial Masshole for life, I must admit I am a little jealous of even having the option to toggle your loyalties between teams like someone in Chicago, NYC or, LA might. It would be nice to be able to salve the wound of the impending Patriots loss in their first playoff game with a consolation win by a hypothetical second New England area team. But we don't have that option, and that's why we care more than the rest of you phonies from whatever weird state you're from.
It's ok though Dan, I still love you either way. I'm just happy to have two teams to talk shit about you to now. GO PATS KEHD
This may or may not be Radiohead, but have we forgotten already how many hundreds of soundalike bands started up in the wake of The Bends, (many of whom I quite liked, like Travis, Palo Alto, Aberdeen, Ours, Kent to name a few) that were doing this same sound and whose singers were heavily influenced by Thom?
I had the same reaction. It's not that I think it's racist, which it may or may not be, it's that so many thousands of people's first reaction to the death of a truly horrible person was to quote a shitty joke. "Hey, remember that pop culture reference we've all heard of" is what passes for comedy on Twitter and Facebook now. While I'm at it, get off my lawn.
Then again, I've never once laughed at South Park or anything else Parker and Stone have done, so maybe I just don't 'get it.'
I'm curious to know who the public sentiment is swaying toward for the Patriots Broncos game. Does that new-fangled punchability of Tebow among haters override the boring old garden variety punchability of the Patriots?
I've done this a few times in the past when something I've written was relevant, but always felt awkward about it because I know it's frowned upon. The question I have is why is it so frowned upon?
This site, and basically the entire internet, is built upon linking to things other people have done. I just don't see the harm. It's not like Gawker is any danger of being substantially harmed by a few links pointing elsewhere, and readers who aren't interested can ignore them, just like they would any other comment that didn't appeal to them.
If it's habitual, and only done as spam, then yes, that's annoying and worthy of banning, but the occasional link to something relevant/interesting? Eh, I don't see the big deal in a link to another site on a site based around links to other sites.
But, of course, this is not my site, so I'll play by the rules.

sorry, deleted for wrong thread.
The only other piece of entertainment I've ever spent as much time invested in emotionally, watching it, reading about it, talking about it with fans, is the New England Patriots, particularly in their near-perfect season in 2007. When I think about the way Lost ended, it reminds me of how that season ended. So close to being perfect, almost had it, then some bullshit magic came in at the end and ruined it. Miss you Lost/19-0.
Do you live on a sitcom set? Wtf. That is unacceptable.
Scott Hanson does a better job calling 8 games at once than most of these guys do calling one.
I find it kind of funny how eager many of the commenters on Gawker have become about "policing" the threads here, (via whose comments we promote, trolls, ban-hammering etc.), in other words, sucking up to "the man", particularly on a post like this where many of us are talking about our authoritarian state in which the police are given a free pass.
For the record, I found the original comment to be pretty disagreeable, and am strongly anti-police.

Not sure where to put this, so, sorry, but is there something wrong with the comment system here now? I notice this post has like 48 comments, but it has something like 250k views. Other posts on the main page have 10 or 20k views and like 14 comments. Are people not commenting anymore? I don't get it. See the same thing on Deadspin and Gawker as well. #observationdeck
