Lunch today: Week-plus-old “manager’s special” end of a turkey breast. On an old hamburger roll because my kid ate the last ciabatta at 2 AM. I really need to get on the ball and shop more often.

Baseball is the only sport worth watching.

Yeah, because who doesn’t want their sandwich to smell like feet?!

Starred for ‘fishwife’

In a lot of the country, the weather is pretty awesome for at least half of the football season. You can still go to the beach, there are a lot of music festivals and fairs and hot rod shows and antique markets on Sundays. And there’s baseball, the infinitely better sport, through October. SO many better things to do,

Way back when, we had our draft one night and then the guy who took Randall Cunningham in the first round (possibly #1 overall) saw him get KOed for the season an hour later. Oh, the taunting.

Play fantasy football. All the joy of rooting for a team with the difference being if it wins, it actually means something in your life. As opposed to regular team-based fandom which, as has been said, is cheering for laundry.

Parking lot is a better use for land than a soccer field.

Wait... this guy had stories about women? Were they all blind? Seriously, Garcia makes Vlad Ducasse look handsome.

I went to the link and I understand the policy to be that they are trying to keep the parking lot for people actually going to the games, and came up with this as a means to dissuade weirdos from coming out to the stadium just to eat and drink.

Who the hell is giving the homeless folding money? Bills are in my wallet and I am damn sure not pulling my wallet out in front of some deranged bum. If I am feeling especially charitable (I am not) maybe he gets the loose change in my pocket if I have some. More likely he gets nothing.

The question was faulty in that what gunshot to the kneecap results in no permanent damage? That shit cripples you... isn’t that why mobsters do it?

...any car that looks like a police car but is NOT a police car should be banned from the fucking road

We go on a lot of amusement-park-centric trips because we are philistines terrified of actual culture. The first couple times we went to Disney World my daughter was small and it was better for everyone to push her in a stroller, for the reasons you cited. Yeah, it was exhausting for me as the pusher, but it extended

It’s not disasters that get you renewal, it’s cities that aren’t run as disasters.

So the only options are paying skateboarders $10 an hour to teach, or unionized teachers making six figures with platinum-plated benefits for their part-time jobs, who are accountable to no one, resist all change, and can never be fired?

Entire charter networks have been built on a model of driving out the lowest performing students

Maybe people are tired of seeing those trillions pissed away and want to try something different.

Indeed, we should just get a wider hose through which to blast ever-more taxpayer dollars directly into the failing public schools and their rapacious union thugs.

Yeah, I think the difference is I’m just not that big an NFL fan anymore. One of our early league members quit because he said he couldn’t take watching games needing an Eagle or Cowboy to do well, or even worse, having to root against the Giants. Me, I don’t care. The Cowboys could win the next three SBs if I could
