This is what you do for fun?

I drink beer(s) for fun. 

Thats why you are super smart and I'm a drunk dumbass always looking for a fight. 

Maybe I should start reading more so the next time I'm drunk at the bar and someone wants to fight I can be all "do you even paleolithic raft bro?"

yeah but only for purpose of shitposting on the internet about it while drinking beer. academia provides you with some good-ass insults

hmmm... for fun read kon-tiki, an account of experimental history/anthropology (a couple scientists create a paleolithic raft and test the hypothesis that people could've migrated across the pacific to populate the americas. adventurous and highly entertaining read. also check out history wars, a very readable edited collection of essays on conflict over historical representation in museums, focusing in particular on the 1990s conflict over the smithsonian's enola gay exhibit. it ties nicely into the theoretical aspect of this post, actually. also think about reading richard  anti-intellectualism in the american life, a seminal text for any political/cultural historian. and if you get the chance read the follow-up, susan jacoby's the age of american unreason (and review it for me, i own it but haven't read it yet)

Kon-tiki and History Wars look good.  Hofstadter may be a bit heavy for beach reading.  Thanks.

I find it terribly strange that someone was just telling me about this recently. Terribly strange. There may have been a documentary made about it recently or something. It's bothering me to try and figure out where the hell I heard about this.

human diaspora theories make the news every couple of years when some new evidence is found and shakes everything up, and the kon-tiki experiment is usually brought up since it's the biggest pop culture reference that everyone gets. by contrast mentioning the solutrean migration hypothesis will get blank stares

Last time we were on Monday Night Football we saw a defense completely destroy a wounded QB along with its pathetic O-Line to the tune of 9 (iirc) sacks along with several turnovers. I sure hope we could throw that in Indys direction this time. You'd expect people like Allen and Short to feast on whatever they call that O-line

SCP is like a combination of the sensibilities of Patrick McManus, Mark Twain, and the Kissing Suzy Kolber version of Rex Ryan.

You've got a Hemingway/Paul Harvey/and perhaps a bit of Hitchens or Dawkins without the prominent atheistic overtones vibe going on. 

The Huddle's becoming a literary sanctuary...who'd've thought? :P

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
