On my first date with my future wife, I stuffed a bottle of (then-new, I think) Cholula in her purse while she was in the ladies’. As I was walking her to her stop I said “Oh, I stole a put a bottle of that hot sauce and put it in your purse” and she gave it back to me with a laugh.

People seem to believe you have to wash a garment every time it is worn. I do exactly what you do with my dress shirts (and neck) and they usually last until I get tired of them. I also believe guys look like goons without an undershirt, especially in the summer when they start sweating through them.

Carolina - my engineer boots are 12 years old and look fantastic.

Piazza had acne problems his whole life. I don’t know what Madden’s beef with Piazza was but I’m glad the Daily News fired him.

Vince Coleman?

Because Clemens tried to kill a batter who had his number, and later threw a shard of broken bat at him during a game. Fucking redneck piece of shit, I hope he enjoys watching Piazza’s induction speech. And fuck the writers who didn’t vote Mike in first-ballot.

I think there are enough writers who (justifiably, of course) hate the Yankees, and guys who will cite fielding metrics no one understands, and the whole “If Bay Bruth wasn’t a first-ballot, no one is” contingent to keep YeahJeet far from unanimous.

“This is some other political action, where you do something so breathtakingly stupid and sad you force people who would normally ignore you to deal with just how stupid and sad you are.”

Wall Street and the rest of NYC foot the bill for all of NY State.

You are vastly overrating the possible effect of a boring building on prime Manhattan real estate value. “That 4 BR across the street from the High Line, a short walk from the Hudson? Forget it, there’s a bland garage near it.”

I had some last week for the first time in ages and it was garlicky, fatty heaven. I don’t see bringing it into the regular rotation but it was a delightful changeup.

Soulless indeed. I did it once, on accident. And it was my parents’ house so I didn’t feel bad about taking it home.

I see your December birthday and raise you January 1st. No one has given a shit about my sister’s birthday in 45 years... AND she still suffered the dread combo present from deadbeat relatives.

One other thing to consider - Drew’s bowl of Vomit Salmon probably costs about $7 to make. A decent platter with a couple varieties of soppresata and salami, prosciutto, mortadella, some pepperoni for the philistines, roasted peppers,olives and a couple of nice cheeses is gonna run upwards of $50 pretty easily.

The day you have your first child is the day you can start calling your in-laws Grandma and Grandpa most of the time and end that awkward Mom and Dad bullshit. Though 22 years in I still mostly address them as Hey.

“Outside of RG3, I’m not sure any player has ever has his every word and every microscopic expression as heavily scrutinized as Cam Newton.”

Because sexual violence against men is hilarious! Remember all those great Lorena Bobbit jokes? The whole prison-rape comedy routine?

I daily-drove a 72 Beetle convertible for a couple of years in the early 90s. What a blast. It was fun to drive, especially in the summer. NE winters, not so much as the fit was poor and the “heater” did nothing. But it was great in the snow, and got tons of attention. I was single at the time and girls LOVED it.…

I have unnaturally long toes. Like prehensile monkey-level. It makes for interesting conversation sometimes.

When I was growing up there were only three kinds of sauces: Marinara; Meat Sauce (essentially marinara with meatballs, sausages, braciole and a hunk of pork); and once in a while Bolognese. I don’t think I ever heard of Alfredo until my teens. That, and stuff like Puttanesca and Fra Diavolo were for fancy people at…
