And if he also gets so touchy about other people being obnoxious while watching a football game (which obviously is so incredibly rare) then perhaps he should consider only ever watching games at home alone.

I also can get really touchy when watching a movie I really love with someone who's obnoxious, which is why I don't watch movies I really love with obnoxious people, or with my boyfriend when he's shitfaced.

Have a book reading, and they'll keep talking despite the shushing.

Either pay attention to the child or stop putting them in a room with other people.

If that doesn't work, might I suggest some COCAINE and MALT LIQUOR? The wildcat prevent will start to make sense.

Here's a hint people, torture was NOT used to find Osama bin Laden.

Why?

Cause it doesn't work. Never has. Never will.

Torture "reasons" are all excuses by people who want to justify their own desire to do revenge cruelty on other people and pretend it works, when it never has.

(caveat - based on all the counter-terrorism I've ever been involved with and every real expert who has ever been involved with counter-terrorism)

I personally enjoy it when the Hawks are good enough to draw the attention of non-fans and wannabes. The "prevent offense" comment alone would have kept me amused for a couple quarters.

If a few comments on SLOG is all it takes to dampen your joy and enthusiasm, then maybe you didn't have all that much to begin with...

Hey, who wants to go see the Oscar-nominated short films with me at the Varsity? Football will be done by then, so we can babble about the Oscars. I plan to just regurgitate whatever Nate Silver said.

When the Seattle Storm wins a playoff or even championship (which is the only time you post about them) its semi-sincere as its mostly a stab at other failing sports in Seattle. So why not just let people have some fun, why must you continue to rain on peoples short lived parades?

What is there to know about the Oscars?

I thought Zero Dark Thirty was a helluva cinematic experience. It gave me a very uneasy feeling on several different levels on several different issues - and really, what else can a great film do except get you involved and make you react?

Still, if you'll allow me to pretend to be a sixty-year-old Oscar voter who made Gandhi the best film of 1982....Zero Dark Thirty is too close to (which it isn't at all). I'm voting for Lincoln.

I think that would be OK with me, too, because Lincoln and cast and crew were marvelous.

Maybe I'm revealing my own ignorance, but what's there to hear? Joe Buck (who I'm pretty sure is a prostitute from the '70s) and Troy Whateverman (who I'm pretty sure is just stupid) talking shit about the winning team? Yeah, must be rough not hearing all that.

I think the author is an infinitely shittier fan who needs to take sports much less seriously. It sounds like way too much of your identity is wrapped up in a bunch of grown men who you will never meet.
