Better late than never!

Horrible, but compelling in a twisted, can't look away way.

The LA Dodgers played this on their video screen when hosting the SF Giants a few weeks ago.

The Dodgers lost the game, and were swept by the Gigantes.

Not good luck.; 9/13/12, 7:25 PM

You can make paragraphs. That's fine. But some people put 10 empty lines or something to signify a pause before delivering a punchline.

I am not amused. It's an attempt to grab attention that I don't like. It's appropriating space in my place without delivering proportionate value.

It's also dull and old.; 9/14/12, 10:27 AM
