  1. My brother and his wife just split up. It was a long time coming, but the final catalyst was that he discovered her affair when she failed to log off her facebook account.
  2. I'm not going to pull a cliche and say "be yourself", because we all wear different masks for different occasions. But at the same time, it's usually best not to intentionally decide upon a persona. I've tried it before, and people can usually tell that you're fabricating something.
  3. Remember, March is Breast Cancer Obliviousness Month. http://www.theonion.com/articles/march-named-breast-cancer-obliviousness-month,256/
  4. Seriously? I'm sure the world is waiting with baited breath.
  5. Three cheers for continuity.
  6. My thoughts exactly.
  7. Nah, the Sages are notoriously inbred. It's always tough to say exactly whose sperm and whose egg engendered whom, so we refer to them all as "ancestor".
  8. Except for Charles Robinson, who's excellent.
  9. They have women in North Dakota now? Good for them.
  10. 11 of my ancestors died on the Titanic. The Sages were the largest single family to perish. http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-victim/john-george-sage.html
  11. Funny how we've been to the moon, but only know a relative modicum about what resides in the depths of our oceans.
  12. MARK IT ZERO, YOU WERE OVER THE LINE.
  13. Any Downton Abbey fans? Jessica Brown Findlay
  14. Well put. Bizarre is the way to go, especially with the dawn of tivo where people can strategically miss commercials. As far as major corporations go, I think Old Spice is ahead of the curve...even they have to find something new though, they've been milking the p-p-p-p-power thing for a year now.
  15. Breaking Bad. No bracket necessary
  16. This is blasphemous to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who came to me in a dream and admitted to sinking the ship.
  17. Because she was hilarious and realized her role to an unbelievable capacity.
  18. My sister is a belt sander and my brother is a jack-knife. I'm offended by people who are offended by people calling children tools.
  19. Pretty typical young adult lit, still riding the coattails of Harry Potter...miserable teenage kid becomes special, schmaltzy love triangle, deus ex machina all over the place, poorly concealed war allegory.
  20. This is what ails political discourse more than anything. Those who are willing to admit, "Hey it's a complicated issue. I can see both sides. The truth is probably somewhere in between." are called wimps. What's the purpose in "making a !@#$ing stand" just for the hell of it?
  21. It should be frustrating for any statistically minded person. Essentially, the NHL standings value games that go to overtime 50% more than regulation games...for absolutely no reason. At least the system isn't unfair. Every team has to live with the idiocy. There's every chance the Capitals will miss the playoffs because they have 5 OT losses and their intradivisional rivals Florida have 12.
  22. I've been suggesting this as a compromise for a long time. The ideal situation, of course, is the simplest - a win/loss record like every other sport.
  23. I guess it depends on how you view terrestrial radio...I think it's a service industry (and yes, I work as a DJ/occasional sports personality). If the clerk at the supermarket gave you attitude for saying "How are ya?", wouldn't that rub you the wrong way? Radio is a different job, but Joe Q. Listener is ostensibly your boss - no listeners, no advertising revenue, no job. Calm down. Dead air is dead air, pleasantries are white noise...not ideal, but 10x better than the on-air personality rudely telling a caller "get to the point!".
