"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to:
"Nice shirt."
"You write about bobsledding."
"Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team."
"Your favorite football team is a CFL team."
All just statements of fact, really.

Hamster cages from the store are great if you find “hide and go seek” super exciting.
Once found mine in a closet with some sports equipment. Picked the girl up and felt what I thought were bones or something in her back (I was more dumb then than I am now)
It was 4 golf tees

@Ida_Bomb
dealt w/ complaints that she was "distractingly sexy". Someone complained to HR
"She doesn't dress like a physicist"...but she's a physicist, so however she's dressed she's dressed like one

A few friends and I had this talk the other day (it turned into a shitshow but whatever): I'm perpetually amazed that George Washington didn't know about dinosaurs. Every time I read that I'm all "well I'll be damned"
Also, that we're closer to t-rex than t-rex is to stegosaurus

Unfortunately Scott, there's a relatively large portion of this particular country that REALLY values paste eating and mouth breathing over anything that may slightly inconvenience them for a week or two.
So basically we're boned.

I can’t tell if it’s terrifying or if it’s just a horrible, horrible PR attempt.
I imagine that, like most things, it’s somewhere in between.

Picking Jim Jordan to be on a committee to look into 1/6 is like picking Jim Jordan to be on a committee to look into sexual abuse at Ohio State

You refuse to get a vaccination because you’re worried about faking the shakes for internet attention?
Weirdest reason I’ve seen yet, but whatever.

The fact she still has that chicken bone on her plate...and that whole bowl of soup for that matter...on her table and not on top of those people behind her makes her a far, far better person than I.

I feel like the people that need to be interviewed are whoever looked at some guy's napkin that said "PLANE SEAT" on it and went "Yeah, that checks out, welcome aboard!"
A bunch of you are following me because of my coverage of these Olympics, which is awesome. But PLEASE PLEASE watch along during the other 3 1/2 years. All of these sports have World Cups every year, they have World Champs, and they're all just as great then as they are now
Dear News Organizations,
I know you've got the Olympic fever. We all do. But all of these great athletes you're profiling for the next three weeks are also amazing for the other 3 years and 10 months that you seemingly forget about them.
Maybe check in from time to time.

The thing that once dropped over 10% in value because Elon Musk tweeted something?
Yeah, it's best that we tie our currency to that.
At the supermarket and someone saw me in my
@calstampeders
jersey and hat, and goes “excuse me sir, what team is that?”
“Calgary Stampeders in the
@cfl
!”
“And
@DougFlutie
played there?”
This led to a 5 minute convo about Doug, the Stamps and the CFL. Solid start to game day!
