Anyone know if they sell beer at Philips Arena for the ACC tourney? Need to know if I have to flask in some booze tonight.

I would think yes, but I’m not sure.

fear and loathing

I have an odd soft spot for Where the Buffalo Roam with Bill Murray as the Hunter stand-in.

No Eifling? The Fuck?

The fact that the majority of that comment was you cutting and pasting my comment I think is very appropriate.

I assume the Rockets would have to part ways with Lowry and Scola, at a minimum. I don’t buy into Morey’s thinking that Gasol is the type of player that other “stars” will want to team up with.

I used to be an editor, but once I got out of the game, I relaxed my sphincter and learned to love the rough-and-tumble of the Internet, the atmosphere of which is what I imagine the brawling newspaper days of the late 19th century were like.
I like to think of bloggers and commenters as my drunken buddies arguing over sports, girls and whatever the fuck. That’s how I enjoy it, and I find it helps to be drunk yourself.

The cursed legacy of Hunter S. Thompson and the havoc he wreaked in spawning a generation of Raoul Duke wannabes without the insight or talent.

I’ve found the wannabe Hunter S Thompson is the one who watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and maybe read the book.

The ones who have read more of work easily realize you can put together an immitation, but his voice was one that could never be replicated.

oddly enough, fear and loathing on the campaign trail ’72 translated well to the 2004 and 2008 elections. can’t wait to read it again this year.

Lisk, CRM, Hernia, Duffy seem to do all the heavy lifting.

If he respects anyone’s background or training, then it is not an occurrence that I can recall. And yes he goes to great lengths, it seems, to ignore our criticisms. Which, I think, leads to us being even more critical. Young Jason clearly has talent, one doesn’t work at the places he has in the past without it, but I feel like he’s been mailing it in for awhile.

That would be a sign of some weak ass shit, though, especially if this is what TBL wants to get into (long form stuff/profiles).

TBL, snark aside.

I like what you’re trying to do here. The article starts out really great but it feels like the last 1/4 was really rushed. You’ve got a really well constructed voice in the beginning, but towards the end it feels very loose and rushed to completion without edits.

this type of article is a good change of pace, nice to see something new.

I agree with what y’all are saying. Still, I suspect that JMac will write off any criticism from the masses unless by chance he respects an commenter’s writing background/training.

Of course that’s the case. You’re only going to listen to criticism if you respect the person handing it out. I suspect TBL doesn’t take much of what I say (if anything at all) with much more than a grain of salt.
