They also did a thing on yesterday's baseball Hall of Fame vote, which I was not interested in enough to link to (wah wah there's a problem with HoF voting, umpteenth verse, same as the first), except for how it linked to one of the greatest commercials of all time: Chicks Dig the Long Ball because of ( Read more... )

The next time Pepper invites Steve to one of their cocktail parties, she doesn't write "and guest," she writes, "and Bucky," and Steve's good with that, because Bucky's always been the best date he ever had.
