It's creepy the number of people who think it's worth telling others that Hitler had "good ideas" but he just went too far. So, we just need a little Nazism in our lives, not the full amount. Maybe kill off just the developmentally and physically challenged, not Jews.

Shit. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten VH, Jr. that Cameo from Brett Hull for his birthday a couple of years ago.

As far as I know, Brett is a generic meathead athlete, not the full-on shitfuck his dad was (and, y'know, I'm prepared to accept that Bobby Hull's Hitler admiration may have been not especially well-thought out and he was hamfistedly going for a "he got things done" vibe).

Fingers crossed, because he's also a hilarious drunk "We don't have to say 'Let's Go Blues' anymore because we already went! So now we need to say 'We Went Blues!'" It was glorious.

I will always take an athlete who spouts absurd shit over the cool and scripted guys like ARod.

Oh, for sure.

JFC! Ya know, the more I watch Laverne & Shirley, the more I realize how much she carried that show. She was like Shelley Long on Cheers in that respect. So funny and talented. Damn. '23 ain't fuckin' around.

He was still alive? I would have guessed he's be around 120 by now.
