I don’t know how long this has been going on, but Boomerang has been running an hour of them late at night, at least on weekends. And it’s all good stuff - caught the Duck Season!/Wabbit Season! toon this weekend - not the crappy random characters.

When I was between cars in 1988 I bought a beat-up ‘71 Fury to knock around in for $275. Ran like a top, had a lot of fun with it - as a goof one weekend I painted it black with a can of Rustoleum and a brush and then painted huge Batman logos on the doors. When I no longer needed it I put a classified ad in the paper…

Thought Police “next”? You been on a college campus in the past ten years? Hell, if you express any kind of opinion The Left disapproves, you can be hounded out of your livelihood.

We went to Spring Training in 2008. Got to a game very early as we had never been, so we walked around looking at the stadium for a while, then decided to get some food and sit in the picnic area down the 3B line. My wife has both hands full of food and is walking down an aisle when a BP foul bounces a couple of times…

Your first line said “No sitting at any concert ever”, so I assumed that’s what you were advocating. I’m going back to what I originally said - there’s a time for standing, and depending on band, venue, crowd, even stuff like temperature - there’s a time for sitting. I don’t think people who stand at concerts are all…

So you can’t experience and see the band while seated at all during a 2-hour concert? You’re That Guy who even though he has a front row seat in his section, has to stand the entire time? That’s just silly, selfish, and supremely annoying.

There’s some common-sense guidelines as far as standing at shows. Now bear in mind I am old and I’m talking about Classic Rock shows, for the most part. But the band comes on - everybody’s up. Hell, first two or three songs, fine. But eventually, just sit down for a while. Especially if it’s during a quieter, acoustic…

I’ve been going to 15-20 games a year for over 30 years and I have never caught a ball. If I ever do, I’m keeping it and I don’t give a shit if the poster child for Jerry’s Kids is sitting next to me.

I am confused.

I’ve never used any of the download sites because Old. Also, I’ve always been (irrationally?) afraid I’ll be downloading a computer-explodey virus instead of the new QOTSA record. Is that stuff as prevalent as I fear?

I’m so old I’ve recently taken up listening to NPR in the car. And my political leanings are such that I am supposed to find it anathema. It’s actually very good!

I’m an old and about the only “new” music I buy (other than when Robert Plant puts out a new record every year or so) is when I browse through record stores or department store CD aisles and find something cool from an artist I already enjoy. Like, killing time in an FYE while the family shops and finding a Johnny…

I just read an excerpt from a new book and the authors actually had a brilliant name for it: Flopping. In soccer or basketball, a player takes a dive after incidental (or nonexistent) contact in order to try and draw a foul. Like Al Sharpton and the rest of the grievance industry, always looking to find the new thing…

I’m a big fan of “y’all”, and its Northeastern cousin “youse”.

New York City. I’m not exactly a stickler for formality, but this just rubs me the wrong way. Like, somehow saying “Not a problem” indicates that maybe it actually is, occasionally. It’s not a problem, it’s why you’re here, and what I am paying you for.

I don’t care how bad the weather is, I never wear a coat in a shopping center. I’ll hack that 20-second-or-less trot in 12 degree sleet before I schlep around a mall for hours shvitzing in a coat. Or - gaaaah - carrying it.

You have no idea how badly I want to hear a comic book store poop story.

I am 12x that age and I’ll be damned if I’m having a cup of tea or some shit with my mountain of chocolate chip cookies.

I went to a local shop (instead of one of the big chains) to get a new car stereo installed in a vintage car I had bought. An older guy had walked in just ahead of me and was whining that the anti-theft bar (similar to The Club) he had was broken, and he wanted a refund or replacement. He had no receipt. It had been…

Grampa does have a point, though he made it a bit ham-handedly. Why do waitstaff call me, my wife and daughter “Guys”? It’s stupid. You want to be overly friendly in the hunt for a better tip (unnecessary, I always tip well), call us “folks” or something.
