Here’s to my grandfather, one of the toughest, funniest guys I’ve ever met. I have a lot of issues, but genetics ain’t one of ‘em.
Holy crap, this band is terrifying, and totally awesome. I wish I could plug this level of energy directly into my brain. I mean, it’s pretty much what’s going on in my head anyways, at least when I’m angry, frustrated, or properly motivated.
(I have no idea why they’re dropping all those F-bombs in the very beginning, but they seem so genuinely intense that I really don’t feel like I have the right to question them.)

“God, you look terrible.”
- every single person at work
Videos take so little time to post. “I’D JUST LIKE TO SAY, THIS GIG SUCKS.”
I’m always a sucker for a good bass player joke.
Somebody needs to introduce D-Wade’s face to the basket support.
What would you do if you were the President of Ohio State University?
“A lanky 68-year-old who is known for his bow ties, horn-rimmed glasses and sometimes zany antics (he has shown up, unannounced, at 21st birthday parties for his students, which he finds on Facebook), Mr. Gee has…”
THAT IS FANTASTIC, although disturbingly unproductive. It also probably says something about me, socially, that I would love showing up to a 21st birthday party in a completely ridiculous, inappropriate manner like this, but have little to no desire to attend such an event when properly invited.

“when a meeting gets out of hand and the buzzwords start flying”
The statement also said the school teaches boys respect by not placing girls in athletic competition, where “proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty.”
This is so weird to me. Ever since I was a kid, I had no problem playing my hardest against women, unless those women were actively uncomfortable and obviously didn’t want play against me, or anyone at all (gym class floor hockey, for instance). But that applied to unathletic, non-competitive boys I played against, too.
And in a league? Forget it. Everyone is there specifically to compete. They know what they signed up for — so what’s the problem? I guarantee you there’s a dude in this league who is worse than this girl. How is that not a problem?
I play in recreational leagues year round, in a sport that involves way more physicality and contact than baseball. In the summer, our league is co-ed. A few years ago, in a playoff game, they switched me over to guard a girl on the other team, who was killing us from the outside. I went into full destroy-mode, and after getting baked on a few head fakes, basically shut her down to the best of my ability. And it was awesome!
I guarantee you some people thought I was a little weird for playing full-tilt against a female opponent. But I don’t care — she was good! She was roasting the girls we had matched up with her, and the old guys who probably couldn’t cover her anyways, but made it even worse by playing awkward half-defense and worrying about whether they looked like they were trying too hard.
Now, did I get in the girl’s face and talk smack to her? Of course not. First of all, she was really good, and I didn’t want to piss her off. What, am I being too honest? And secondly, I don’t do that to anyone.
Gender relations are not complicated, as long as no one expects special treatment. I’ll play sports with anyone, work with anyone, argue with anyone, learn from anyone, as long as they don’t expect to be treated differently than me. And most of the girls I’ve played sports with don’t expect special treatment, so it’s all good.
There are, of course, a few exceptions.
