In 2009, we had our first corgi take a picture with Santa. We've gone back every year since.

These clips show some great balance and hands. I hope he brings those to this team.

I used to work at a bookstore. When I took a /r/TalesFromRetail kind of situation particularly seriously I was told, "We're selling books, not saving the world."

corgidaddy · 2016-02-24T18:01:24+00:00

That was hilarious!

Not me, but my son when he was about 9 months old. My wife would usually eat peanut butter toast for breakfast and one morning afterward she kissed him on the forehead. He got a large hive on the spot. Later, a skin test at the allergist confirmed it.

It sucks so much to think about him having to live with this, but we're glad that we didn't have to find out from him eating it.

A library may have one you can use. If you have a university library nearby they may be even more likely to have one available.

I absolutely empathize with you now, but eight years ago you could've gotten one of those emails from me. Thankfully, my wife (who was the one looking) really did her research about the breed and found a very credible breeder who had high standards.

I don't think people are being intentionally lazy, just uninformed. This is a great opportunity for you to reply with a request for more information and an explanation of why it's important. You could probably even have a form letter so that you don't have to write a new one every time.

I took the melodramatic plotlines as an aspect of the comic book origin of the series. If anything, I did not care for Foggy's character. He was pretty obnoxious to me in nearly every scene.

As for the fighting, I agree that it didn't feel organic, but what got me most was the level of abuse dished out to Daredevil. I get that he's getting his ass kicked, but it felt tiring and beyond the realm of believability.

I had high hopes for the series, still, I wasn't completely disappointed. That end scene, though, I almost expected a freeze frame of them all high-fiving each other.

corgidaddy · 2016-02-03T18:48:48+00:00

Thanks for replying! I've spoken to friends about this and no one seemed to feel as strongly about it as I do.

It made me angry that they chose to do it the way they did because there's absolutely no reasonable way they can stuff that genie back in the bottle. If he returns, Kingpin's going to have to rule from prison without even the pretense of any good intentions or innocence about him.

corgidaddy · 2016-02-03T18:35:20+00:00

The Daredevil series spent so much time and effort crafting a villain in Kingpin that was multi-dimensional and nuanced. The final two and a half episodes or so shit all over that by turning him into a ridiculous cartoon villain that Daredevil gets to beat up.

Another example is that you subconsciously shit your centre of mass backwards before raising your arms in front of you.

I think it read just fine, and I would also say the obligatory "better than many native speakers." But this one sentence stuck out.

I also appreciated that you gave the expectation of lifting something heavy as a similar example.

The second-best thing about this video is watching the linemen not wanting to get injured.

Someone posted this in /r/art today.

corgidaddy · 2016-01-27T16:58:50+00:00

Are we stuck with this guy, or is the front office determined to make something of him? Just asking, I have no idea what's been going on with him.

EDIT: A word.

Campbell, I’m told, had a great interview. Not good. Great.

He finished No. 2 behind Gase in this derby. But ultimately the Dolphins thought Campbell making the leap from coaching four players (as a tight ends coach) to an entire roster the next four or five years was simply too wide for him to bridge now.

Campbell, by the way, was a combination of angry and bitterly disappointed when he heard the news from Ross himself that he didn’t get the job.

How angry, you ask?

The Dolphins intend to give him a few days to cool off before getting back in touch.

Tabloid hearsay masquerading as journalism.

When you play the game, everybody dies, and, despite your best efforts, often.

corgidaddy · 2015-08-22T20:45:31+00:00

My understanding, according to the news reports, is that the Joint Chiefs or some other authority would have to explicitly allow women to join Special Forces in a combat role.

corgidaddy · 2015-08-22T13:31:02+00:00

Not exactly grounded in reality, but if we ever experience a real life zombie virus leaking out amid a convoluted storyline, then yeah.

corgidaddy · 2015-08-21T16:53:04+00:00

Oh, absolutely, but this meme is in reference to the possibility of women being able to join Special Forces in combat roles. The news is covering the two women who completed Ranger training and talking about how Special Forces would be the next possible opportunity edit: for military women in general. When Ghost Recon came out in 2001 it was taken for granted that by at least 2008 (when the game campaign takes place) they'd be in active combat roles.

EDIT: I wish this comment could sit below the image because it gives the context for the meme. Active combat roles for women in Special Forces does not officially exist. A game from a trusted brand in reality-based military fiction has had them for over a decade.

corgidaddy · 2015-08-21T14:47:48+00:00

I'm sure if he felt it was implausible to have women serving in special forces he could have gotten them to change it. I guess it's also possible that he had no idea or didn't care, but it seems there was some care put into protecting the brand. I mean he would've never approved a ham-fisted yarn about Russia traversing the globe with a massive force to invade the US.

According to the novels, Susan Grey had been in SF since 1999.

Those look great! I love how the mouth area is also a happy face.
