Q: And what is your argument against natural selection this time, Mr. Ham? A: Yes, she may be an accessory to the crimes of a serial killer, but you've got to admit these meat pies are exquisite!

Risky

We propose to accelerate the Coyote up to 0.999999 lightspeed and collide him with the nearest sandstone cliff wall, in order to have a good laugh, because anyone must admit it would be hilarious.

Q: And Mandy? What did you do on your Summer Vacation? A: My mother is having a hard time dealing with your existence. Maybe you should find an apartment closer to the office.

Ellieana, Goddess of Turning People Into Chickens At Random. NT: More amusing things to do with half of all life in the Universe than snap it out of existence.

A new Crash Course has started.

Q: The assailant kept saying you had no way out. Then what did you do, ma'am? A: Sorry, madam, but we no longer carry honesty in our station policies. But go ahead and order that waffle iron anyway. We're good.

Tinfoil

Cowherd was once quoted as saying he would leave ESPN, where he had a cozy radio gig, if they ever started covering E-Sports. Well, ESPN does in fact cover E=Sports now -- ESPN Plus plays every match from the Overwatch League and has substantial League of Legends coverage, not to mention coverage of the Madden circuit -- although whether Cowherd leaving has anything to do with that is conjecture. Speaking of pundit reputations, what are opinions on Jim Rome (the guy Cowherd essentially wants to become)? He comes off as a bit boorish, but as someone who does his homework and that athletes and coaches are willing to talk to. The thing is that people often call his national show to show off their dissing game, mainly against other callers.

Had training camp even started when this happened? If he's not in training, I don't see a reason for the team to say he can't do this. People have done much worse things in the off-season that have actually affected their ability to play. This isn't Johnny Manziel here.

Q: You know the Daimyo is hosting a banquet in your honor tomorrow night? A: Chom-chom. Remember that. Chom-chom. Never say bananas again!

Fifteen Percent

A beautiful anime cover/translation from Amanda Lee.

Back in the old dats Teddy Roosevelt seriously investigated banning the sport nationwide when there was a string of fatalities among college players. That gained no traction, and was part of the catalyst for the formation of the NCAA (may their shells be blighted).

Tramp

Maybe this will warn players off pursuing the latest fitness fad just because other players advertise it.

Q: Count? Count? Could you get out of your coffin for about an hour? I need to clean all that dirt out of it. A: Remind me to fire you.

Q: What is the only way to have fun in a dive bar on Gauda Prime? A: Unfortunately, he is the Lesser Evil.

A schoolgirl who can recreate the Universe at will -- and doesn't know it.

Among the dead is Yasuhiro Takemoto, director of the popular series Lucky Star and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. A second season of the latter was in the early stage of production when the arson happened, and the storyboards, character art, and all the other things that go into the making of an animated film went up in the smoke and are gone forever. The studio's owner has talked about tearing down what is left of the studio building, putting a monument there, and moving production work to a secondary location.

The air around their house always smells of fresh-baked cookies.

He keeps spreading rebellion wherever he goes. And your Homeowners Association is next on his list. (This may be my most obscure Scenes from a Hat joke ever.)

A guy will a bell and a large voice walks throughout the neighborhood, giving you the news at the very time you do not need it. NT: Subtle signs your new neighbors are Hobbits.

Everybody is drinking the same (not very good) beer.
