          1. Oh yes thank you.
            I've mentioned it before but AJR has a stuffed Snowy Owl named "Who".
            Still working on getting other dolls or stuffed animals "What", "Idontno", "Tomorrow", etc.
            She does have a baby named "Crunch":

    1. The image filename is inaccurate.
      Most distinctive among their top 100 from national average, with no repeats and higher-population states having priority.
      For all we know, Edward Sharpe may be more distinctive to Minnesotans than Nuyorkers, but they get first dibs on them.

    2. I have no idea how they determined this, and wasn't interested enough to try to find out, but Hinder for South Dakota? Don't think so. South Dakota is definitely a country music state.

      1. It's data from a compilation of download services, which means it's automatically biased towards the tastes of younger people and places with higher population densities. On top of that, it's only 250,000 downloaders, which seems like an awful small sample size to draw any conclusions from.
        The map is good clickbait, but I'm doubtful it's truly representative of states' actual listening preferences.

  1. Maybe this is a bit bourgeoisie for this crowd*, but if you find yourself microwaving a meal now and then, this product is surprisingly good

    *"half-bakef" doesn't work in this context

  2. Self-parody alert: Bill Simmons discusses potential trades of Kevin Love and in his mind, the most likely to happen: Kevin Love to the Celtics. (To be fair, he thinks that Love will not get traded, will opt out and end up with the Lakers.)

    1. I would definitely let him play out his contract before I would accept lottery protected picks. Picks 15+ offer very little.

    1. Between 3 and 11% contain undesirable nudity.

      Who decides if the nudity is undesirable? What percentage contain desirable nudity? 89-97%?

  3. So, I"m driving home from ND and I'm thinking about the Wolves (it's a long drive) and I thought of one "word" to describe the David Kahn era. Has anyone ever heard this one before? #Flynnsanity

    1. Count me as a fan of Pierre the Pelican and now this. Someone does something hilariously off the wall and the sucky general public gets all stupid about it and thus, we get no nice things.

      1. I hope that the pels marketing team doesn't cave on the baby. The way the thing moves is simultaneously horrifying and delightful. I'm a big fan, which likely means the baby won't be back.

    2. We have a warehouse in New Orleans that send us a King Cake, like, 2-3 times a year. For some reason, they also send the one for the New York office to us. Somehow, it never gets forwarded on.

      Oh, and so far, I'm baby free (though that might be more due to me not really eating any sweets).

      1. I've found 4 babies in 5 slices through Carnival season this year. I'm lucky, and broke from having to buy the next round.

  4. Hey Bootsie (and others)
