Once again, @mcsweeneys.net does not miss. ------------------------------------------------ "In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, 'What a lazy cheater.' Now you’d think, 'At least he’s not asking Gemini.' In a few years, you’ll say, 'Wow, look, a human being who can read.'"

Oof, this one hurts. For much of my childhood, Wrigley didn’t have lights, and WGN was on every cable system. That meant there was (during the season) almost always a Cubs game on during the day. (1/2)
