Don’t put those two in the same category. Salt and sweet (which is what the frosty fries really is, with the potato as palatte) is one thing and quite delicious - salted caramel, anyone?. But good pizza already has that down - that’s basically what sauce and cheese do. Putting jelly on that is just pushing it off…

Ditto. I adjunct at two colleges and I already know if someone comes into my classes with a gun a) it will almost certainly be a student with mental health issues (I’ve had several over the years) who I wouldn’t be willint to shot, b) I may well be their primary target, so if they come in shooting I’m probably not…

Sorry, but as a Jared Goff fan (really when he only completes 60 percent of his passes it is a bad day) I really have no desire to see his head bounce off the Soldier Field turf over and over again. I doubt it will happen but I almost hope he suffers an Aaron Rodgers like overthinking/drop and goes somewhere who is a…

It wasn’t a committee like the playoff. It was the fucking coaches polls that Brown, his brother and a few buddies rigged because they knew their votes were anonymous. Like suddenly leaving Cal off the ballot entirely rigged after having them in the top 5 the week before. It was so shameless that the coaches poll…

I have noted that the colleges are getting better equipment - late 20th century now, with helmets that have impact sensors and components that are designed to absorb hits better. But the high schools as always lag behind. Even worse are the Pop Warner full tackle leagues where the equipment is rarely well fitting, the…

I honestly don’t get the obsession. I like women who have a clue who they are, what they want, what they want from a partner. I’ve never even thought of putting the age range on dating apps down below mid-30s, much less that young. But at the same time, I’ll admit that a thoroughly unattractive picture is a turn off…

Honestly, I don’t get even a 20 year gap. I teach in college and while I can recognize many of my students are attractive I don’t feel anything for the young ones. They are too young. too callow, too much of a reminder of my own kids. Of course it is mutual, judging at the faces they make when I talk about adult…

The worst are bosses who ask you to do this shit when there is no - I mean no - earthly reason for them to do this. I was an attorney at a big (for anywhere but Chicago, NY or LA) firm, making six figures and trying anything I could to improve my odds of partnership (but not doing it well because totally socially…

It isn’t just Texas, and it isn’t just high school. I reffed high school and Pop Warner in Northern California in the late 90s and there were guys who got chased by angry fans/parents, had upset losing teams wait for them in the parking lot and in one case a parent actually pulled a knife and ran onto the field. A lot…
