Walk-up music for tonight’s debate.

Hmmm, good point which I didn’t consider. Our cats are still relatively young with (no doubt) plenty of new vet bills to come.

I asked a similar version of this question to several insurers. Basically, I was told that coverages and exclusions (if any) would be explicitly written in the insurance policy. If a condition is specifically excluded per your policy, then coverage would be denied for that condition. Otherwise, you are covered. Mind…

This is great advice, and I wish that I had followed it before shelling out $5K in vet bills for the Maine Coon. For anyone considering pet insurance: be proactive and get it now, before anything happens. There are no insurers who will cover pre-existing conditions under any circumstances.

+1 to Sam Woolley for the graphic.

We are going to adopt either a Maine Coon kitten or a Beagle puppy (NOT both), and I have the deciding vote. Advice?

Burned my Bills season tickets a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier. We’re going outside, cooking shashlyk, drinking quality wine, and ignoring football entirely. It’s going to be a great day...

Some otherwise well-meaning person asked if I want to coach my grandson’s Pop Warner team. The correct response is to run away screaming, right?

But do you propagate trees by grafting them yourself? That is the tough, sinewy elder way to do it.

My co-worker completed his first triathlon last April and hasn’t shut up about it since. Which Deadspin staffer’s athletic achievement has bored the ass off the greatest number of people?

Name one Olympic event you’ll go out of your way to watch. Name one event you wouldn’t watch at gunpoint.

I call bullshit. Portugal hasn’t colonized anything since
Socotra.

Few people know that in 1965 Clark Kent failed a drug test at the Daily Planet and was summarily fired. He drifted aimlessly for awhile and ended up in Australia, where he made ends meet by joining up with a light pop band. Don’t believe me? Superman on stand-up bass:

I remember my mother coming to get me from the classroom so that I could see the launch live. Still gives me chills:

You leave a public building, someone else is on the way in. How close does the person have to be for you to feel obliged to hold the door?

Major league baseball teams used to visit their triple-A affiliates on an off day in the summer to play an exhibition game. July 1968 and the Yankees were in Syracuse for the annual game. We kids began to cluster behind the visiting dugout hours before game time in the hope of getting an autograph from a real…

So, McKenna is my age? Poor bastard. JFK assassination with Cronkite on a Philco “Miss America” television which was approximately as heavy as a bank safe.

+1

If they shitcan the Turner Field organist, then it will be worth every cent.
