    All your Moose are belong to us.

    Maybe the deputies all had problems with bone spurs.

    And what should happen to those who were responsible for training these officers? Apparently they failed in their jobs as well. For that matter, what of the FBI agents who had a file on the young man, and the social workers who visited his home after his self mutilation and pronounced him not a threat?
  5. Craig Arko
    I wonder what will become of the other three deputies who arrived and promptly took up defensive positions behind their cars. Perhaps training is not a substitute for having actually been in a firefight.

    I'll never post on another game thread again.

    You're just going to get an 'Eddie Rosario is fat' meme started now.

    He's just worried his gravy train from the arms manufacturers will dry up.

    Grammar Girl agrees with Brock: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/two-spaces-after-a-period As do the Chicago, AP, and US Government Printing Office style manuals. A Law Professor freaks out about it. https://abovethelaw.com/2017/03/in-defense-of-space-the-extra-one-after-a-period/ And I just want my Oxford comma. And maybe a hula hoop.

    I do like the Loon. Also the Monte Carlo for brunch.
  12. Craig Arko
    Well that's good.

    It seems to me the two people here who have actually seen Sano at ST are not panicking over this. Maybe we should listen to them.
  14. Craig Arko
    Yes, I am engaging the crazies once again, too. Thankless task but somebody’s got to do it.

    I want automatic placement of Oxford commas.

    It's Steven Pinker's new book... https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress-ebook/dp/B073TJBYTB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518533935&sr=8-1&keywords=enlightenment+now

    I always pictured you as more of an Alfred Russell Wallace person.

    How about Bobby Darwin?
  19. Craig Arko
    No panic, no wasted time, no refunds. Happy Darwin Day.

    Have you? What do you think about the third stanza? https://amhistory.si.edu/starspangledbanner/pdf/ssb_lyrics.pdf And by the way, it’s a poem. The music was taken from a British song about drinking and sex. Maybe we should lie down instead of standing. http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-star-spangled-banner-200-anniversary-20140912-story.html

    Alternatively, we could unite to foster a culture where homage to tribal symbols is less important than respecting and seeking justice for all of our fellow citizens. Not just the ones that look and act the same way we do. It’s a thought. You know what I will stand for? Today’s launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy. That is humanity reaching for our greatest common factor instead of our least common denominator.

    No, the analogy works just fine. If it is ‘unfair to the pitcher’ to deal with a variable height strike zone, it is even more unfair to the cobbler to have to make variable size shoes. Were there only one shoe size, manufacturing could be even more efficiently automated; leading to both higher profits for the cobbler, and possibly lower shoe prices for everyone. Unfortunately, in most cases one size doesn’t actually fit all. Having spent as much thought on that as I care to, I have a different question for all: Has anyone asked the pitchers and catchers their preference? If a statistically significant majority of those folks wanted an automated zone, I would reconsider my objections. Is there anything published on this?
  23. Craig Arko
    In much the same way as Shaquille O’Neal and Peter Dinklage should wear the same shoes.
  24. Craig Arko
    Indeed.
