It’s been a long time since I played baseball, but isn’t that what third base coach is for?

Personally, I would vote for lima beans. But would concede the point if we need the vote to be unanimous to carry the motion.

Plus, it looks like the guy over his right shoulder looks toward the little kid, whispers in the guys ear, they all look toward the kid, THEN he walks over to give the all away. I have no idea who that older guy is of course, or the blond smacking the teen’s ass, but as good act as this is, it isn’t 100% altruistic.…

Of course it does. But there is a fundamental difference between repeating the same general themes and plots and, in this case, very specific story conceits (People in our head who personify basic human emotions who work with and against each other.) We have been awash in post-acocalyptic movies since movies were…

Seriously. This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this trailer, too. If we could see inside the head of current leaders of the culture industrial complex and anthropomorphize their thoughts, it will be one fat ass guy sitting in an overburdened barco-lounger watching old tv shows and movies and figuring out…

They still have to dial. Otherwise, why all those buttons. But you make a good point.

But the qb’s have wireless headsets. As do race car drivers. And last season the started using wireless tablets on the sidelines to great effect. (Maybe it was the season before.)

Oh, no. Oscar. That peek-a-boo trashcan is soooooooooooo enticing. It reveals by concealing.

All of Cookie Monster’s scenes are nude scenes.

Or just go on to win the game and the state championship.

Then I am guessing that you would not be seen leaping up/climbing to the upper shelves in a Home Depot. That’s just a guess on my part, obviously. I have relatives who have gout who use these scooters and they are incapable of such feats. As you say, a few “normal” steps without pain is impossible. Jumping as this…

Also, the stereotype of the older New Yorker retiring to Florida has some basis in fact and much of it, I think, is due to New York being difficult for older and less abled people. My mother-in-law lives in a place called The Villages where her entire block is dominated by retired New Yorkers and they all drive…

I never said it was a solution. There might be other tactics.

Stores benefit from having people linger in their stores. More time in the store = more purchases. A lot of people hover in that middle range of not needing permanent assistance, but benefit from assistance on the spots where they need it, like big box retail. The stores therefore provide such assistance because it…

My mother is officially “handicapped” because of a heart condition and cancer, but she doesn’t LOOK handicapped. She is well aware that appearances can be deceiving. That’s why she starts off so calmly. I missed the first part of the conversation, but if I know my mom, and I do, she probably walked all friendly with…

Sorry. This kid is two young and small to send into that nonsense, regardless of which one his mother was. This is where adults need to step in and not let a child do what he wants. I would have the same opinion if this kid wanted to dash into a burning building to save the mom. Admirable instincts, but no.

I don’t know about you, but when I see evenly matched idiots (matched in their physical abilities and in their idiocy) I let them. If this was a case when one person was beating up on another. Sure. But when two people want to go at each other like this you let them. I learned that from years as a bartender. We had…

But it’s not an either/or situation, though, is it? He can be feeling fear/anger/rage/confusion etc (and even well adjusted kids this age can rarely tell the difference) and have no context or preparation (and certainly no role models) in how to deal with those emotions in a constructive, or at least not destructive,…

I watched the video a second time. I do think its probable that this kid is absolutely terrified and is acting on that emotion the only way he knows how. He’s, what?, 5-8? Regardless of who started what,why, or when this kid is watching his mom get punched in the face. Yes his mom deserves at least half the blame for…

My COPD dad needs them, too, on his bad days. Nothing pisses me off more when he has to sit at a store entrance waiting for someone to return one of these and it turns out to be some kid screwing around.
