OMG, he didn’t even time it right. He caught it while he was still on the rise and his hands were soft enough to stop the ball and re-adjust on the way down.  The second angle from the side is even more impressive.

It’s a little of both. He dominated the Clippers (24/48 from 3, 36/37 FT’s), but he’s been pretty garbage against the Rockets (15/57 from 3).

I just assume a Johns Hopkins police force is a bunch of med students running around with lacrosse sticks.

I’ll represent Florida. I live in a nice Gulf Coast (this is important) city. The weather is absolutely beautiful from Thanksgiving to Easter (so, right now, is the beginning of Hell Season). It never rains (until May) and you can keep your house open for weeks at a time. The beach is within walking distance. It’s…

Yep, TripTiks, and a big fucking road atlas. I was a weird kid, so you could give me a road atlas, and I’d just flip pages and stare at the different places forever.

Seriously, that’s the thing, Betsy.  Teachers haven’t begun to pull out the big guns.  Wait until a district or state decides to strike for a month or a semester.  Even the most conservative curl up into a ball after one week and teachers barely scrape the surface of what they could demand.

You’re not wrong. We’re basically one generation removed from thinking of teaching as “women’s work”. Almost all the teachers I had or knew growing up had a husband “with a real job”.

We actually switched over to a strict 12-month pay system within the last two years, primarily because it made budgeting really difficult. There were some old-timers who still wanted the money “when they earned it”, but the vast majority wanted a consistent pay check.

My bill (you know, if I could even be a representative, which I can’t because my state doesn’t pay reps a salary) would tie teacher pay to accountant pay. They’re both highly seasonal, require advanced degrees, and a level of specific knowledge the general public does not have. They’re both professional jobs.

The website friedbroccoli.com is going for $8.99 as of this moment. Just sayin’.

He has a career waiting for him as an assistant high school principal if the whole footballing thing doesn’t work out.  Detentions for everyone!

It would just be a test of reflexes (the article mentioned this), not of trivia. As a former gambler/arbitrageur, all they’re doing is looking for a tiny edge to exploit over and over.

Do they have to eat fast food or is that just for the college kids?

It’s not an urban legend. Anyone who’s gotten an MBA has done the Harvard Business School case study on Wendy’s Chili for their first-year accounting class. It’s the standard for dealing with sunk costs. 

Don’t eat in someone else’s car. You’re not as clean as you think you are (and neither are they).

My district has already said they won’t support this, but, in all seriousness, if they change their mind, I’ll totally do the training and write an article. There was a rumor last year that they would increase our pay by $10K, which is more than anything I can do academically, including getting my doctorate.

If they’re actually saved, that’s an insanely good success rate. Do you know anything about small businesses (or marriages)?

Any doctor who’s not making a living selling you drugs tells you to handle prednisone very carefully.

I can relate. I was 6'0" at age 12 and couldn’t have been more than a touch above 100 lbs. My parents force fed me weight gain shakes, but nothing worked. Got to 140 lbs. by 18 and now, I’m an unattractive 180.

I wanted to mention the draft section, but I thought maybe that was something that regularly happened in the late sixties.
