The reality tv writeups on Grantland are great. Especially if you watch The Challenge. Heck, even if you don't -- (link) - volnelk Nov 30, 08:14 30
- were they really drinking this: "Absinthe mixed with antifreeze." -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:24 1
  - Doubtful, but it was a weird looking drink. The girl carrying four tall boys was funny too. -- nm - volnelk Nov 30, 08:26

        I sense a drunken Challenge marathon. - ty97 Nov 30, 08:46
        
        It's actually really good. The elimination challenge at the end of Episode 8 this season was as good as any sporting event I've seen this year. -- nm - volnelk Nov 30, 08:45
        
        the recaps are hilarious and I don't even watch the silly show :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:44

        As far as the show is concerned, he's a legend. The moniker "Alcopsychoholic" is well-deserved. -- nm - volnelk Nov 30, 08:34 11
        
        He definitely put together a strong act for being cast in future seasons. -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 08:40 2
        
        Oh for sure. He's amazing, because he's a solid strategist but at the flip of a switch would kickbox a homeless person. -- nm - volnelk Nov 30, 08:42 1

- when diners bring me a meal with vegetables on the plate, I just move them to the side and leave them there. problem solved -- nm - dogbert Nov 30, 08:09
- We wanted the prison to change the policy (and made that clear to the judge) but couldn't make them do it so we had to find for the County. -- nm - spamlet Nov 30, 08:07 10
  - I don't disagree with this decision logic. I just found much of the slippery slope B2 argument to be absurd. -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 08:15 1

- cause basic necessities are the exact same thing! Great point! -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:04 4
  - [deleted]
  - No they are not. That's my point. Some people made the exact opposite argument, like prisoners would suddenly expect strippers and cocaine -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 08:05 2
    - I'd settle for like burlesque dancers and weed. -- nm - TFox Nov 30, 08:07 1
