Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I like to imagine "you win or you die" references are part of the KPI, and that Simmons personally oversees them

BWV

One of my favourite recent ticks of Simmons is him complaining to professional comedians that people are way too PC. This is followed by the comedian routinely telling them that they don't think so at all. It's like he can't understand that the problem with his "racy" jokes is not that they are too racy or not PC it's that they are not funny enough to justify being so.
You can get away with anything if you're funny but since Simmons hasn't been funny in five years of course he'll get called out for it.

Also, the "gun to your head, who you got" phrase is just such a dumb crutch.

Tim Marchman (Deadspin Editor) has been having a loving meltdown about his site getting owned to the center of the earth and back. You really need to see it.

Also, I wasn't saying that Mike Pence would be better. I was just saying that by the time Donald Trump is impeached for turning the US into a shadow Russian colony there will be nowhere to go but even or slightly up under a lame duck Pence. Then in 2020, Jeb! will save us!

I used to really like Deadspin but man it's been circling the drain lately.

Even Magary (who I adored in HS/College) has gone down in quality.

Magary has a book deal to protect and the GQ gig to protect.

He's not an idiot, after all.
