For someone who watches more Twins baseball than me, what are the comps on Larnach?  Is he Adam Dunn?

Profiting off of likeness will be here soon.    I both think that it’s a good and fair thing for the student athletes and that it’ll completely change the game for the worse moving forward. The gap between have and have nots is already high, I can only imagine what kind of endorsements you get...

The organized religion thing actually scares me more than any alien. Some would move on but a lot would go f’ing insane. The really religious people define their entire lives around it, I don’t think pulling the rug out would enlighten them, they would double down hard.    I also don’t think...

The Aliens in the Sheen version inverted their legs and reminds of Willis McGahee’s knee injury. 

They’re probably just waiting for Martin to finish the Game of Thrones books before wiping us out. 

So I’m going to tease this out a bit just because I find the possibilities interesting. So let’s suppose for the sake of this post that these ships are non-terrestrial life forms.    You have to cede that they’re far more advanced. However, not advanced enough that they were able to completely...

Well I suppose the good news is they could have blown us completely away by now. The bad news is some of the reasons they may have for not completely blowing us away by now. I can’t imagine an outsider POV would see earth as a bunch of cool people they’d want to interact with. 

So play this scenario out for me. If it’s some secret faction spec ops program...  they’ve been outed sort of, what happens now?  

Why would the the U.S. govt want to declassify their own technology?  Also let’s be real, if the U.S. had this technology, the world would be on its knees right now. 

The 60 minutes piece on this the other night was interesting. It’s leaves you with really only 3 options; 1. Aliens 2. Other countries with capabilities far more advanced than ours 3. False calculations which seems unlikely

It sucks but I think you have to do right by the dog and let them go peacefully. We had to put one of ours down 5 or so years back and I still get upset thinking about it, but it was important for her to not be in pain and for us to be there holding her so she felt loved and safe until she passed. 

I read through 20th century ghosts by Joe Hill (King’s kid). It’s a compilation of short stories.  I’d give it a B overall, some stories are good, some are not so good, and a lot of them seemed to end rather abruptly. 

Will someone just tell me all the cards I collected as a kid in the ‘87-92 range will be worth something?  I have a Barry Sanders rookie and then like 40 rookie cards of Todd Van Poppel and Percy Snow. 

This had caught my eye, but no combat at all?  So it’s basically a book, right?  That’s fine, but I find that books to a better job at being a book games generally do. 

I blame social media for a lot of the compounded stupidity we see now. There have always been stupid people, but now they have outlets that let them find other people with similar lines of “reason” and it festers and grows. Like what would Jonestown look like if they had Twitter and Facebook for...
