Oh wow, I completely didn't see that entire post. It's like my subconscious just flagged it as "Unfogged-ish" due to that exact thing.

To the OP, I guess I can decide after all.

Those Russian shovel kids have stolen my heart with their deviousness and their resourcefulness and their love of impractical sportscars. They, too, deserve 4000 words in the NYT and a freaky-looking portrait!

I hope they were taken back to school in one of the jaguars. They deserved at least that much.

4: I did and I hated it and I hate Brian Phillips for writing it and I hate Grantland for publishing it. Suck up the hypocrisy of the way you earn your daily bread on your own time, Poindexter.

I actually suspected you might find it barfworthy, but I liked it. It was a short enough gaze at his navel to remain interesting.
