If you’re looking for one in DC proper I have a great one and a recommendation for Arlington as well. Further out in Va/Md - there be dragons.

Happy birthday fuckos. (It’s been a while.) Now that Deadspin is officially dead, I guess we are the true survivors. It’s funny, I was lamenting to a much younger colleague that I missed the camaraderie (and drama and flounces) of early aughts Internet. Nice to see you guys still here. Xoxo

I loved my balance chair...until I wrote three finals in it and gave myself nerve damage that took several years to heal. I had no feeling in my shins for approximately 4 years, 8 until it all returned.

Any chance I could get a new invite? CBS Sports doesn't remember me.

Hi, I'm back. Is anyone doing brackets this year?

Guess I'm a Badger fan now. What I can't understand is that I've got State winning both of my brackets and I'm in 1st and 2nd... the maths, they confuse me.

Duke sucks with the power of a billion and three black holes. But I figure they can handle their shiz in a first round game to a 14 seed.

For now - with the way the Jayhawks are dying on the vine it won't be for long.

Seriously Duke. You have one job-not to suck it up every time in the tourney. Why do I believe in you when it comes to tourney time? I should know better and keep the haterade from the rest of the year flowing. DIAF.

Brixton? I think they have a roof deck. Do we really have to wait until June 15?

Research shows that care is improved when both doctors AND patients ask questions. People make mistakes. Don't know why they're prescribing that particular medication? Ask a question. Do you really need surgery or is there an alternative therapy? Ask a question. Doctors and nurses are overworked, but if they can't communicate how they're trying to help, they might not actually be helping. http://www.ahrq.gov/questions/

I do love Arya Stark, but Tyrion wins. He wins so hard.

Is it "Turkey in the Straw", "Yankee Doodle" or that God-awful New York to Richmond "Hello?" clapping one? The "Hello?" and "Turkey in the Straw" put me into blind rages the third time I hear them. "Yankee Doodle" doesn't seem to have the same effect.

As much as I can't stand Eddie Munster err....Paul Ryan, this has my bullshit detector flashing red.

By the way, where did that Shelly chick suddenly come from? Dead mom? Dead eyes? Dead in the world of prodigal violin players?

I think the "P" is there to stay - the logo is very sexy. Betty as Elizabeth Taylor - I guess she'll need a few more husbands.

Mr. Vixen and I sat there, mouths agape. What the hell Betty? Additionally, while there has always been a slight nihilistic undercurrent to Mad Men, this episode was laying the death on a bit thick.
