Tomorrow I leave for SE Asia.
I have my first USD for the occasion. 
I hope I don't die.
It's the 21st century so of course I will still be posting a little until that happens.

Because I know you all care. #dkpol

I don't even understand what that graphic is depicting.

Well exactly, all true Americans have always been in America. Which, of course, then excludes my family.

Who could be more American than you?

Black people were clearly imported.

I thought you were Indian this week.

Oh darling, you are so 8 years ago.

Before becoming a lawyer I had jobs in four of those industries.  And I literally have scars to prove it 

[MadImmortalMan]

James Hetfield used to tromp through a litter box full of dust backstage so his steel-toed boots would be dirty for the show.

Mine are permanently scarred by soot and damage from molten metal.

I doubt it would make news that a random girlfriend distracted a QB and led to them losing a game.  Maybe if it was the super bowl, but the last time the redskins lost a super bowl was 1984, and they lost 38-9, so the reasons for the loss probably extended beyond a future receptionist in the country illegally.

Uh, how about their wins in 1988 and 1992?

Brazen specified that the redskins lost, so it wouldn't be 1988 or 1992.

I heard gossip today that our receptionist at work illegally overstayed her US visa 20 or so years ago and hooked up with a Redskins quarterback. Her hard partying ways were apparently responsible for the team losing a critical (Thanksgiving or Superbowl?) game. Does this ring any bells? Her name is Sharon Kerry, though her surname may have changed, and she's since become a born-again Christian and spent all her savings to set up an orphanage in Kenya.

20 years ago? Um Heath Shuler? Gus Frerrotte? Brad Johnson?

Here is my guess. Gus Frerrote against Dallas on Thanksgiving 1996 during the Redskins' historic collapse to miss the playoffs after a 7-1 start.

The last Redskins Super Bowl loss was after the 1983 season and that one has been so obsessed about and picked apart by me and the other fans I am pretty sure Joe Theismann partying with some hottie, causing him to miss Joe Washington and throw it to Jack Squirek instead, would have caused much gnashing of teeth and I would have remembered that.

I will just presume she is not responsible for Billy Kilmer bouncing a sure touchdown pass to Charlie Taylor off the goal post in Super Bowl VII since she would have to be pushing 70 by now in that case.

I was back in Detroit for Thanksgiving.  I had to pick up a birthday cake while I was up there.  I saw that they had something called "Mary's Gateaux" at the upscale supermarket; yet if you bought it you only got one.  I really needed Jean-Pierre Hutz to get the class action lawsuit going.

Uh, I should read better.

They did lose the divisional playoff in 1993 and 1999, though.

Yeah I thought maybe it was Brad Johnson in 1999. He certainly played shitty enough but it was the Bucs defense at their height.

So which was it? Gus or Brad? I have been googling around about them but I cannot find any scandal involving a woman named Sharon.

When was it that Gus knocked himself out by slamming his head against the stadium wall?   It would be awesome if that was tied to a bender with a Brit groupie.

No that was against the Giants the following season. I watched that live. Such a hilarious WTF moment. I knew then the Redskins were doomed forever.
