As a Floridian for the first 20+ years of my life who now lives in Minnesota (via Chicago), I can tell you that wide-eyed innocent jubilation last about 24 hours.

I was at an Applebees or somewhere similar, seated in a corner of the building, about as far away from the bar and its 20 inch TVs as possible, and I glanced up to see the GB-MIN play as it happened and said, "That DB is going to regret his premature jocularity on that one. He caught it."

I've been an FSU fan since I was old enough to get interested in sports - not because I played sports at the school, or even went there, just because I liked their uniforms and liked Bobby Bowden. Also we lived 30 minutes away from Gainsville, and I was sick of Gators Gators Gators always. From the first sniff of…

Didn't she post a "Beatles References, Ranked" list on Deadspin recently?

Didn't think it was that good of a joke, in fact I think extinct.

fitting room at Wal-Mart (probably, maybe Target) while my mom waited outside with another armload of shorts for me to try on.

I had a younger brother that I shared "the main bathroom" with, we were both home-schooled, mom was always home with us, it was impossible to get privacy. I could lock the bathroom door, but our 'policy' was that we didn't lock ANY doors, so if the bathroom door was locked, I'd get a "Why was the door locked? No one…

I used to drive into St. Paul from the suburbs for work every morning. I had to be in at 5, and when we'd had a bad snow the night before I would leave super-early and give myself a lot of extra time. One such morning I'm heading up, and it's of course pitch black, and as I get closer to the actual city I see one…

I SUCK AT KINJA. Didn't mean to reply to this particular post.

When I was in first grade, I was on prescription Asthma medication. I was supposed to take it X amount of times a day, so I had a tiny sample bottle of it that I would take to school with me so I could take a pill while I was there. My mom would refill it from my main bottle periodically.

This is less a hilarious drunken tale, and more a "Holy shit there's awesome people in the world" story.

That's the worst purse-suit I've seen from anyone in a Seahawks Jersey since (sorry, I don't watch the Seahawks that much, but insert some random defender who gave up on a run play and let it get busted for a 30 yard gain instead of stopping them for a short loss)

"Act like you've been there before" "Well, if you exclude all my extra points and touchbacks, I really haven't, I'm sorry I got excited"

I've been waiting my whole life for a reason to use that line...now I have to keep waiting...

The last time we went to Wendy's, we noticed that their menu now lists "Have any sandwich on a pretzel bun - add 30 cents" (might have been 39, I forget now). Talk about a game-changer. 99 cent chicken sandwich that's pretty decent in its own right? Now it's a $1.29 chicken sandwich that tastes AMAZING, plus the…

I'm sure at least one person has stated this among the 50+ replies I'm too lazy to sort through right now, but I actually enjoy this option at Wendy's. It looks as bad or worse in person, but it happens to be damned tasty. The portion size is small for the price, and the amount of "toppings" on the fries is less…

Kept wishing for a second one to rain death from another tree on that porno-breathing cameraman.

I recently went to Florida to spend a week with my mother and her husband for family vacation. He is from Boston. My brother (who has lived in Florida his whole life) gave him a Yuengling one night because it was what he was drinking, and ever since that night a couple years ago, he (mom's husband) not only won't…
