Back in his playing days, Sean Kemp was well known around the league for screaming "IUDs suck"
If I may infer that (v) is "knocking the bottom out of Beadle after you're done," I'm all in.
"Now I can only enjoy cereal if I have orange juice in it. The milk just doesn't cut it. The question still lingers, though: Would a normal milk-drinker think a bowl of cereal with orange juice is at least palatable?"

If you replace "cereal" with "sex", "orange juice" with "German scheisse porn" and "milk" with "missionary sex" then I think we might have the return of Cockeye Jones. Welcome back.

When I was about 6, Ali and his entourage invited me over to their table and bought me a coke, play boxed with me and talked to me for a few minutes. This was in '77 or '78, so he was still heavyweight champion at the time.
@ReggieDunlop: Nothing better than "factory second" jerky. It has only a few extra lips and assholes and just a scoosh more e. coli. But you can't beat the price.
On my first trip to Yankee Stadium, some guy was standing, with his 6 or 7 year old son in tow, next to the right field wall yelling "Brady Anderson you fucking faggot, I hope you get AIDS and die" over and over. After about 10 minutes of this the cops finally moved him and his kid along.

So if it's any consolation, you weren't the last person a NY fan hoped would die.
I would suggest that pro sports is an extreme example--largely because money is involved. One can be totally supportive of transgendered individuals in virtually every other situation and still think that there is something fundamentally unfair about a transwoman participating at a professional level--and it has absolutely nothing to do with whether one feels empathy for that individual.

Unlike most other aspects of life, the winners and losers in a professional sporting event are often separated by percentages--or even fractions of a percent. We are not necessarily talking about something that results in someone being 100% or even 50% stronger (or faster or whatever applicable skill). It is sufficient enough to be consistently 3%, or even 1%, better.

I hate the "slippery slope," but where does it make sense to draw the line?
They are real clowns these people. I'm dying with laughter.

@Marth: Hate to break it to you, but in all cities, bikes are required to follow the same rules of the road as cars. That means no running red lights, no weaving through stopped or stalled cars, no riding 4 abreast. Also no wearing gay matching spandex outfits when you're going for a 4 mile ride on flat ground.

All you wanna-be Lance Armstrongs quit bitching about cars not being "safe" until you actually start following the rules.

@Nickly: I once made it across the entire State of Ohio (I-80) steering only with my knee. To, this day, it's one of my proudest moments.
The intersection of the Gantt Chart with "Chain-smoker" and "Good Tan" contains both Obama and Boehner.
the Big Red are humble, hard-working nerds who pay their own bills and won't find future jobs in this tough economy The article that I just read in the Wall Street Journal entitled: "Cornell Hoopsters Head to Goldman Sachs" takes issue with Shaughnessy's thesis. [blogs.wsj.com]
Sorry, you poutine-eating, Tim Horton's-loving, walleye-fishing mfers. I don't know if there's a chance of a rematch in the medal round, but that would be fantastic. It made me remember that I actually like hockey.
"had they watched Tiger Woods on a glowing box" I don't know about the reporters, but I suspect for Tiger the box glows a little less brightly than it did just a few months ago.
Not to get all "fact-checky" and stuff on this post, but Pierce's article talking about Tiger's reputation as "something of a hound" was from 1997--well before he was married.
@Occam's Racer: Coincidentally that's also the name of the latest release from the Larry Flint celebrity look-alike series. In this episode Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher practice space-docking with Demi Moore.
