Wait, what? Budging is totally used in upstate/central NY.

He could have been Babe Ruth, but if he was never on the field, that makes him a bad player.

Nick Johnson is my favorite bad player of all time.

Upstate NY edition: The Punisher logo with the blue line on their car (which, hey, can you believe that a town just on the outskirts of Syracuse... basically, so close that it is essentially part of Syracuse... actually has this decal ON THEIR POLICE VEHICLES). Also, (not that we see this MUCH in the city, but...)…

I feel like I’m a fairly bright and curious fellow. Yet, I believe the first time I’d ever heard of the Spanish Civil War (other than an ‘in-passing, this-happened-once’ kind of thing) was in Pan’s Labyrinth. Why is this not a bigger part of America’s collective memory? Maybe it kind of just got swallowed by WWII, but…

While not technically a “board game”, any list of non-electronic games is incomplete without mention Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder tabletop games. That’s the good stuff.

I never knew the hell that was shopping for women’s clothing until I got married. Where are the pockets? Why are all the materials garbage? Why do the measurements not make sense? From what she tells me, it seems like most of the major retailers don’t even carry clothing that will fit the average woman. As someone who…

Bobby might have given me more laughs than the rest of humanity combined. If we ever develop cloning, he’s on my short list of people I want to give another go-round.

That being said, Syracuse would be happy to host this Amazon complex, sadly.

Oof, I can’t beat that.

Caring about impressing people.

That would make sense if web hosts were public.

Oh capitalism, never failing to put a price on morals and honor.

Hey, motherfucker, I’m from Syracuse and I’m gorgeous!

Cool, good to hear.

I only remember the tail end of the Cold War (was in 6th grade when the Soviet Union collapsed), but the big difference is that, realistically, North Korea can only cause so much damage before getting completely obliterated (not to say there wouldn’t be huge amounts of collateral damage and fallout from that). But the…

We need people like you in the Democratic party. Taking your ball and fucking off to the DSA or the Greens or whatever... I mean, it feels good and it feels right... and I agree with most of what these people are for. But our system is set up to support two parties. It’s winner-take-all, and that’s not changing…

My parents are nice people, but your typical Boomers. Rural, love capitalism, love Republicans, love Catholicism, and somehow manage to pretend all the bad stuff that they do doesn’t exist.

Ditto. I was born in 1980 and grew up thinking, via my folks, that Reagan was a saint and Carter was a complete nincompoop. Whoops!

Damn!
