The Marathon Continues

Do any airlines still offer complimentary decks of playing cards?

I worry about the future of playing cards. They brought me so much joy, and, like, I'm not sure my nine-year-old nephew can even shuffle a deck of cards.

Playing cards > LEGOs.

101 MINECRAFT-THEMED YO MOMMA JOKES.

I remember inexplicably owning a book of 101 bug jokes as a lad and thinking, "When am I ever gonna need a joke about a bug, let alone a G-rated one?"

I remember reading a book of dirty jokes that contained an inordinate number of jokes about the enormity of Polish dudes' penises. The Polish man uses a Thermos as a condom – ha ha?

One of my classmates at the time was a Polish dude, and I couldn't look at him without thinking about how massive his dick must be.

I see that Viacom Media Networks finally removed the StumbleUpon share button from its video player.

I can't stop watching the man in the red shirt behind Bruno Mars.

The only ESPN network that you can watch at my gym is ESPNU, and I don't understand. Wouldn't a budget television package include just ESPN and not ESPNU? Normally, you pay more for ancillary networks.

You know how championship shirts/gear for sports championship losers is distributed to people in need in other countries? Do you think there are people in said countries who believe a bizarro history of American sports? Like, as far they know, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have the same number of rings, the Red Sox are still cursed, and Butler won back-to-back March Madnesses.

"I don't like any type of music except country" – do people claim this?

Soon, Columbia House will be able to offer 10 CDs for 1¢ with no strings attached.

Instead of incarceration, we should figure out a way to cleanly induce permanent back pain as punishment for crimes. Lower back pain for misdemeanors, full back pain for lesser felonies.

Way to go, Paul

Hi.

My name is Jon and I'd like to talk to you about double-spacing between sentences.

Ryan Gosling should play J.P. and a RealDoll should play Bones.

Television Show Idea: Inspirer Beware. Notable creatives are presented with insane stuff that their work inspired. Like a Nardwuar interview in which the gifts have come home to roost.
