Your Chance to Feel SuperiorAt least you don't play professional tiddlywinks. If you do, and you're male, please, for God's sake, turn in your man card. (via NRO's Corner, where Mr. Miller also points out that, yes, Virginia, there is a professional tiddlywinks association.) Excuse me, I need to go and kill some Nazis in Call of Duty 2 to make up for reading the article. posted by Harry Callahan at 10:39 AM

Ah yes... There is nothing quite like firin' up the ol' Playstation and killing Nazis to pass the time... heh. So satisfying... Posted by: kyer on January 21, 2006 12:06 PM
I have not gotten around to buying COD2 yet. Maybe when Ace ponies up the dough for this guest blogger gig *cough* I will get it. Untill then, I am going to be firing up Game Spy and playing some good old COD1 Posted by: WunderKraut on January 21, 2006 12:13 PM
Phrases such as: "It's a good potting squidger," "If you're on this, you boondock" and "The blue's over the yellow -- I could consider double-booning" filled the air. And I thought I WAS a geek! Actually, the best line in the article is: most historians think modern tiddlywinks was developed in 1955 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates. It is not known whether alcohol was involved. Not known? It HAD to be involved! Come on. I can so totally see a bunch of drunken frat boys sitting around, all the house whores have already left and they are only a few drinks away from pledge on pledge action when one says, "I've got an idea! Let's play tiddlywinks!" The other brothers went along only because they thought he said "tittiewinks". The rest is history. Posted by: WunderKraut on January 21, 2006 12:32 PM
Yes, Vagina, there is a professional tiddlywinks association Posted by: Biff Boff on January 21, 2006 01:08 PM

Ah, but what is really worse? Playing tiddlywinks for money, or paying money to watch people playing tiddlywinks? What's next? Fantasy Tiddlywinks Leagues? Posted by: Simon Oliver Lockwood on January 21, 2006 04:33 PM

Happy New Year, everyone. (It's been a while). A high-school teacher of mine was (briefly) national tiddlywinks champion. Posted by: Knemon on January 22, 2006 11:46 PM
Good to see you again, Knemon. The gay threads have not been the same (read: really gay) without you. Posted by: Bart on January 22, 2006 11:51 PM

Brown killer takes the coward's way out. Naturally.
Still not identified, for some reason. Per Fox 25 Boston, the killer was a non-citizen permanent legal resident It continues to be strange that the police are so protective of his identity.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey vows to Somali criminals that he will not cooperate with ICE, then begins speaking in Somali
Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
