What a blast from the past. (B.A. in Classical Languages, 2002.) I did an independent study in Hellenistic poetry with Brian when he was still the new guy in the department.

GiveLively wrote back immediately and updated my address. Looking forward to the bookmatch.

All academic sources indicate that the origin is the other way around, i.e., that the origin is English, even though the etymology is uncertain.

Louis C.K.'s set in Riyadh is going to be like, "Women want to drive cars. Women WANT to drive cars. They WANT to. You WANT to? Who wants to drive a car? I wish someone would tell me I wasn't allowed to drive a car. Please!"

I miss your podcast, the healthiest parasocial relationship ever, feeling at home listening to you and Paul talk about horror. This is one of the gems I'm thankful to you for sharing.

The crowd was mostly old 90s indie rock kids like me, and it was fun to see an alternate world where Pavement was as big as we thought they were.

I saw it with my 15 year old, who only really knew Pavement from Harness Your Hopes becoming a surprise social media hit. I was worried it wouldn't make sense to him, but he loved it.

It piggybacks on the 2002 Slow Century documentary by Lance Bangs, but takes as its conceit that Pavement is the most important band in the world, and fictionalizes a response to their great success by mashing up that past footage with a jukebox musical, a Hollywood biopic, and a museum show.

People need to learn that soccer is used wherever football rules that permit handling took precedence, which explains not just the U.S., but Ireland and Australia.

And soccer was in common use in the British press in at least the first half of the 20th century.

Ah, the tried and true video game strategy of signing as many young keepers as possible to create steady revenue. Wait.

Look at Forest in August 2022. I think they had about a dozen, including loans.

Those photos are from S.A.T. Soccer in Miami, where he trained with Charly Alcaraz and Thierno Barry last month. I wouldn't read too much into it, though. His contract situation is too difficult to make any deal work, Farke is open to keeping him, and he started in your recent friendly with Man U.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone did it wistfully once upon a time, just daydreaming that their hero had actually signed it.

That seems an odd thing to fake, but it looks like a fake to me, just at a glance. For one, it's misspelled "Lactford" and the second b on Bob is always lowercase, but here it's upper case. You could go into more detail if you wanted, like look at the way the loop from the o in Bob connects, etc.

That’s true. Your dad is right. Also, I own every kind of classic car. I even have doubles of some of them.
