    Hooray for Lisa!

    Oh, and congrats to the other two, too. Yeah, even Jay.
    (We needed some fresh ammo anyway ...)

    Fuck the columnists hires. They'll always have somewhere to go.

    The problem with the industry transition is the rationalization that copy editors really aren't needed anymore.

    Let me know when AOL, or Dave Morgan, or ESPN, or MSNBC hires top-end sports copy editors.

  4. might want to add a comma somewhere

    are you happy for Lisa and Kevin, and Jay can eat a bag of dicks?

    or happy for Lisa, and Kevin and Jay can eat a bag of dicks?

    main clauses connected with conjunctions + commas

    always a good idea

    Could you be any more insufferable?

    Hey, when you're talking three people and eating a bag of dicks, clarity matters.

    I swear to God, I noticed that after about 20 minutes and considered going back and changing it, but it already had been quoted twice by then. Either way, it was clear I didn't mean Lisa, comma or no comma, so I don't really care what bitch then moan thinks.

    I still don't know who is eating dicks and who isn't.

    Can't even insult Mariotti anymore without it going wrong. I suck at life.

    Me neither, but I hear Kathy Griffin will find whoever is and slap it out of their mouth(s).

    I blame you for making write then drink right, dammit. Or is it right then drink write?

    Dammit! I should stop drinking before I write.

    We figured that Mariotti could eat a bag of dicks. The big question is what's in Blackistone's bag -- chips or dicks?
