Excellent. Can’t wait to anoint the next Big Papi.

I’m sure he is a very smart man, but that’s not how sports nicknames work. I’m erring on the side of the guy who earned four straight Cy Youngs and 18 gold gloves.

Nope, downtown Atlanta. ‘’Tis the season for school fall festivals :-)

I don’t want kids and typically don’t seek out situations where I would interact with them. But my local elementary school is just a few blocks from my house, it’s a low-income school with very limited resources, and an association I’m president of actively supports the school via our annual fundraiser. Figured I…

Haha, the upside of having cats is that my cats have no interest in being petted by strangers. Though if they get comfortable enough, they might rub someone and stick a little butt hole in their face, but I shoo them away in the event of butthole.

This is so true. I was volunteering at a local elementary school’s fall festival last week, and the kids, while cute in their love of the balloon pop game, were covered in juice and melted cotton candy and snot (it was a chilly, windy day, had I not brought tissues, I would also have been covered in snot), and I can…

And here I’ve gone my whole life (or the years that Parks and Rec has been in existence) thinking it was Malway-Tweed. She’s in a ton of commercials, and every time, I’m like, Ben is going to the end of the world with Shauna Malway-Tweed!

Technically didn’t international air travel happen plenty during WWII? I mean, it wasn’t travel for pleasure, but it was, technically, air travel.

I was going to root for the Cubs until Rizzo called Hendricks “The Professor.” Greg Maddux is The Professor, and any Cub should know that. Also I’m a petty asshole and Greg is my favorite pitcher ever (grew up in Atlanta in the 90s).

Southerner here. You’ll be able to find a pocket of libruls in pretty much any city down here. I would worry more about rural areas, but cities should be OK.

This is unrelated, but, I just looked at your username (which I love) and the second I saw “Choco” a memory of a Choco Taco sprang to mind and now I physically need a Choco Taco. I haven’t had one since probably high school, but oh my god I want one so badly right now.

Yeah it’s total BS. Liz would never step down and Charles would never abdicate.

Lindsay Lohan is not a sympathetic figure. She is a terrible human being.

My vet told me the same thing. Especially when gums get involved. All three of my cats are the same age (almost 3), have always eaten the same healthy-as-shit food, and one is going to need some dental work at some point and the vet said that’s just how she was made, nothing we did wrong.

By your second game, you had the good sense to take a picture of Javy Lopez’s butt. Current me and adolescent me appreciate this very much.

I just got a new ceiling fan in my bedroom, and in addition to looking awesome, it’s remote-control activated. You have a separate button for every fan setting, plus a separate button for the light. I don’t have to move my lazy ass an inch to turn my fan and my light on and off. I guess the downside would be if you…

Yep, mine works fine. It was just the top that was cut off, from the nail bed up, and they sewed it back on. I was also three or four years old, so my finger was small and maybe that helped with reconnection? Apparently the surgeon was really worried that I’d lose feeling and functionality, but I didn’t have any…

I cut my finger off in a door hinge in a very old, very large Victorian house with, like, fucking reinforced steel hinges and 3,000 lbs doors. I was only 3, though, so I don’t remember the initial pain. I do remember that it throbbed in the bandage the week or so following, but at least they were able to reattach it.

I cut off my finger and all I got was, like a stuffed animal or something. To be fair, I was 3 years old at the time.

I went to college in Nashville, which is on the eastern edge of the Central Time Zone, and it’s in a basin, and I remember one semester in the winter, I had a three-hour seminar that went from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. I would go into class in sunshine, fresh off lunch with my friends and a quick stroll from the cafeteria to…
