You know what happens when you have to sneeze, but then it goes away and your nose throws a quiet little temper tantrum? Well, imagine it’s a “throwgasm” just disappearing in the middle of “gasming” and you know how Drew’s feeling about the Bears game.

Berman put a lot of his money into ESPN when it was first starting and basically owns half of it, there is no way anyone at ESPN is allowed to ever tell him “No.”

The 14 year old is already our baby-sitter...or at least she has been, she hasn’t responded to our last couple requests. But to be honest, paying for a babysitter when both my mother and my wif’es mother are willing and able to watch her seems a little unnecessary.

Spiders...but yeah. I keep defusing the bomb. We’re in a good spot.

Nah, everyone on the block already knows I don’t drink. I’d rather just say that than have to put up with a charade. The Malibu and Coke is for when we’re out somewhere, like a comedy club with a drink minimum or a holiday party with a bar or something. Most of the time, I still just order a soda, but sometimes soda…

Not in Wisconsin. Here, someone not drinking is someone who isn’t social, or is “different” and thus to be tolerated but not sought.

Yeah, we definitely see it happening. The family across the street sold their house about a year, maybe two, after we moved in. The new couple there adopted a baby about a year ago. Down at the end of the street closest to us, a family moved out and a new family has moved in, they don’t seem to have any kids, and I’m…

Boys can be mean, too, but its often much more overt. They fight or make comments to the “out” boy’s face. It can hurt just as much, but when you find out that someone you thought was your friend was badmouthing you behind your back for the entire school year, that can really mess with your confidence and worldview.…

Yeah, we live in Wisconsin. Holding a beer in your hand as you do anything is pretty much required. I don’t like the taste of anything with alcohol, I can drink somethings if they’re a mixed drink with very little alcohol in them (girly drinks, in other words) but I really just don’t see the point. I’d rather knock…

For one thing, I said I’m pretty happy there and tell my wife that whenever she brings up moving.

Yeah, girls are the weirdest, and can be downright cruel to other girls.

I agree. The girls in our neighborhood are sort of the same. They used to come climb the tree in our front yard, but my wife was worried about liability if they fell and got hurt, so I casually mentioned it to their mother. They stopped climbing.

1) You and your wife should be able to communicate effectively without anyone’s feelings getting hurt.

We don’t live in a cul-de-sac exactly, but it’s a single loop of road, like a “U” with a highway at the bottom of the U and a semi-major road with a large bridge over the highway on the west side. There was a field behind us, but it recently got rezoned into multi-family and apartments are going in. Our end of the…

But are they any good? I’m right next door to you, in Wisconsin, and while we can get tomatoes all year round, they’re usually paler on the inside and very bland. We’re in peak tomato season right now (nearing the end) and it’s awesome. What we’re getting now is so much better than we could get in December that any…

I would prefer to live in a real city too...but my friends, my family, and my cheaper cost of living are all here in NE WI.

On one hand, the owner makes the rules, but yeah, a good owner would cater more to the customers here. Odd.

I would occasionally watch ‘R’ rated movies with my parents when I was pretty young, my mom would just cover my eyes when the “adult” scenes would come on, and as I got older, I was allowed to watch more and more of those scenes.

I watched the movie as a kid...probably around 10 or so.

It does seem weird, but were they a place that serves locally sourced food? If so, Tomatoes are only in season for a short period of time in any one locale, so just not bothering with them is probably a good choice.
