Smartly Pretty

As already stated, it's a Demitri Martin joke.

The first episode of Testees, was literally a half an hour long fart joke. I didn't watch the second. Any credibility FX has for broadcasting Sunny, it loses with every episode of Testees that airs.

This thread is awful. Except for Venk's potential energy joke.

"Take one Karate class"

The Rangers have killed all 23 penalties they've had this year—the two primary killers being Dubinsky and Callahan. As lost as Dubinsky sometimes get in conversation among great young players, Ryan Callahan gets even less credit because his best skill is back-checking. He's been the Rangers best defensive forward this year.

I'd just like to know when Brandon Dubinsky is going to get young-superstar-of-the-future praise. He's an excellent hockey player. His line with Zherdev and Voros on the wings has 19 points so far this season, that's ridiculous through 5 games.

David Harris deserves some votes at ILB.

How long ago was Roman Lyashenko's death? What are the odds?

Someone might as well get the Rhode Island School of Design joke out of the way early. You could make the case though that that's actually the best team nickname.

Bosh, flimshaw. Med student syndrome. You can pull out your handy DSM-IV and diagnose yourself with virtually anything if you want to. You're just aware of the glamour associated with bipolar disorder and approached it with that end in mind. Watch this. Selected at random: 313.81 Oppositional Defiant Disorder A pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior lasting at least six months, during which four or more of the following are present: (1) often loses temper (2) often argues with adults (3) often actively defies or refuses to comply with adults' requests or rules (4) often deliberately annoys people (5) often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior (6) is often touchy or easily annoyed by others (7) is often angry and resentful (8) is often spiteful or vindictive I lose my temper all the time, sure. Argue with adults? Story of my life. Actively defiant? Gave my English teachers fits. Deliberately annoys people? Ask Porter. Blames others for it? Ask anyone else here. Easily annoyed by others? Why else would I be diagnosing myself with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, right? It's because Matt is annoying me. Angry and resentful? Sure. Spiteful and vindictive? Yes. There, I didn't just hit four, I hit all eight, because I decided I would. I can do this all day if you'd like. I've "diagnosed myself" with paranoid schizophrenia, multiple-etiology delirium, and undifferentiated somatoform disorder. "Female sexual arousal disorder" might be a reach; I'm just warning you ahead of time. "Czech Diagnoses You With a Psychological Disorder" would be a fantastic thread.

I'm thinking Richard Dawson.

All this repentance is making me hungry...

The Rangers are awesome. I have a good feeling about this year.

It seems we say this every week.

Drinking games are pretty fun. Flip Cup is the only sport in the entire world that girls are inherently better at than guys. I don't understand it at all. Maybe it's their tiny hands.

There's a rumor afoot that the Mets have fielded some phone calls from the Yankees about Carlos Beltran. The proposed trade is Cano/Kennedy/someone from the Yanks pen/a prospect for Carlos Beltran. I'd be pretty unhappy with that. The prospect would have to be Austin Jackson and the Yankees would have to take on Luis Castillo's awful contract...and even that I don't really like. Hopefully this is a bunch of bullshit.

I don't see how anyone could argue against this being the best show on television. "It looks like this person had been eating wolf hair...." "Inconclusive!"

Little D by Fishboy?

Just came back from this. I liked it. I even liked Kat Dennings, though I've not really changed my mind on her. Islands were on the soundtrack! That was cool. And Nick had the Funeral cover art hung up on his wall, that was also really cool. Cool.

Not really, but I observe these things because it makes my parents happy. I broke my fast today at about 5 though, which is a little early. I don't even think the sun has actually set quite yet.

I forgot I wasn't supposed to shower. Oh well. Anyway, no, I will not be masturbating at any point today.

This is awesome.

Ryan Howard strikes out looking in Game 7 in the bottom of the 9th, ending the series with the winning run on base.

All of Illmatic is so great that you could reasonably pick any 10 of them.
