History’s Greatest Football Bloopers

Every football blooper, prank, slip-up, joke, and gaffe in the history of televised football can be yours on one video cassette. Not a single one has been omitted.

I mean, I take responsibility for my actions. It’s late, I’m screwing around with a piece of code; I should turn the television off instead of leaving it muted on ESPN. Save electricity for once. It’s my own bed I’m shitting in.

“

You hold up the book. “I don’t want it to end. You’ll be killed at the end.”

“And you don’t want to lose me? That’s touching.”

“You will, won’t you? You’ll burn up in the fire and Captain Ransom will go away and leave Talar.”

Dr. Death smiles. “But if you start the book again we’ll all be back. Even Golo and the bull-man.”

“Honest?”

“Certainly.” He stands up and tousles your hair. “Its the same with you, Tackie. You’re too young to realize it yet, but it’s the same with you.”

“After his solo series ended, he was paired with the mercenary Deadpool in a new ongoing series titled Cable & Deadpool.[12] The series largely dealt with Cable’s efforts to change the world for the better, including turning his old spaceship Greymalkin into the floating utopian island of Providence.[13] The first story arc of the series features a Cable that has learned to suppress his techno-organic virus to a nearly effortless degree, allowing him to access the better part of his vast psionic powers. He gains a power level similar to his Nate Grey counterpart from The Age of Apocalypse reality and tries to use them to force the people of the world to live peacefully. Using his powers at this magnitude also means that he will die due to the vast power being too much for his body to continuously maintain. He tries to carry out his plans quickly, defeating the X-Men, Power Pack and S.H.I.E.L.D. with little effort. They turn the tide of the battle on Cable by enlisting the aid of the Silver Surfer. Cable and the Silver Surfer battled, destroying buildings and other structures but were immediately rebuilt by Cable’s vast telekinesis. All the while Cable tried to explain his good intentions to the Surfer with no avail. Although Cable destroyed his board and briefly held his own against the Surfer, he was ultimately defeated when the Surfer destroyed Cable’s arm. Eventually Cable recovered but his psionic powers were close to none.[volume & issue needed] Around the same time period, Cable becomes a member of a team of X-Men that consists of Rogue, Iceman, Cannonball, Sabretooth, Mystique, Lady Mastermind, and Omega Sentinel.[volume & issue needed] In preparation for Messiah Complex, Cable seemingly died when he detonated Providence remains to prevent Gambit and Sunfire from stealing his database,[volume & issue needed] causing the series to focus mostly on Deadpool for the next six or so issues. This series was canceled at the fiftieth issue and was replaced by two series starring each of the characters.[volume & issue needed]”

Fuck comics and fuck the comics people who can’t do any better than this gibberish on Wikipedia. I’m just trying to figure out who this Cable guy is so I can better enjoy this second installment of terrible Rob Liefeld drawings that I only now realized existed.

Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch - Good Vibrations

Has anybody else seen this in the past 20 years? Because I hadn’t, and having watched it again just now I must say it hasn’t changed any of my opinions about Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg.

“Business school graduates like the young man I interviewed are going directly from college to startups, if they even finish school at all. Business majors, traditionally risk-averse, now say they don’t want to work for big companies. But startups are the new big company. They are, as I’ll describe below, the field offices of a large distributed workforce assembled by venture capitalists and their associate institutions.”

- Alex Payne sums up most of my curmudgeonly old-man views about startups in a pretty well-written post.

I don’t want to hear you call your best friend “wifey” Friendship is not the new romance, but if it is then tell me what you’ve done to her. Tell me how bad it was. Tell me what you really think of her writing, her choices, the way she looks when she’s hungover.

I don’t want to hear you call anybody ”wifey”.

Gratuitous Picture of Your Kid Dressed as a FUCKING SHARK Monday.

This little monster turned four years old today. His younger brother, who is nearly a year old and is gigantic, will probably be wearing this costume next Halloween.

All of this makes me feel happy, and also old, although maybe not quite as old as the realization that this tumblr has existed for 5 (!) years.
