You can’t leave us hanging like that! What was your James Buchanan joke?

One of the guys on my team watches the same stuff as me. I think we spent 10 minutes in total talking about Stranger Things. We spent about 10 minutes an episode talking about Mr Robot.

All I can think is that Pence took such a slashing for his anti-LGBTQ stance in Indiana, and the very real threat to Indianapolis’ convention business, that he’s seriously scared (politically speaking) about being labelled a bigot while actually not understanding why he’s being called a bigot. So... he’s a bigot and…

One of my coworkers is really good at pool. I mean, hustle for money, banned from bars and halls, good. He immediately took to watching curling. There are a lot of similarities. The placement. The strategy. The need to think ahead. And the fact that it looks way easier than it is. The difference is that most people…

Hey! Hey! Hey! The man deserves some respect. I mean, he’s been to space and everything! Just look at him. He’s way more human than Pence.

Hey, I’d buy a “Kluwe will do it for free” t-shirt!

It took my wife two weeks after buying one before she worked up the nerve to use it. Now, hardly a day goes by without her cooking something with it. We now have two, (a LUX and a DUO) and she has been eyeing the 3 quart. Some of the best pulled pork, ribs, corn, sweet potatoes, yogurt, and rice I’ve ever had. You can…

Whereas if he would switch to Diet Pepsi he would lose the will to live and throw himself into one of Air Force One’s engine nacelles. I can get behind that!

More importantly, not only didn’t they explain the flavors that were available (maybe their scared it might go the route of the horrible Diet Coke Lemon from 18 years ago), they don’t have them in caffeine free!

“Love the subject and the composition, but the lighting is better at my place.”

The Gameboy came out well after I was out of high school. The school did get three Commodor Pet computers in for my last year. I spent a lot of time in the library learning BASIC and coding a 3D RPG game. I didn’t get much past building a square room and walking down a hallway, but I was one of the few kids who hadn’t…

This should be the #1 comment.

Except more often than not he’s out on one of his golf courses, and they can see his butt from space.

Take a star. I was going to post the exact same thing, but you beat me to it.

Of all things, my mother wouldn’t let me see the film adaptation of the Neville Shute book On the Beach when I was about 10. If you don’t know the book, it’s about an American submarine crew that survives a nuclear holocaust by escaping to Australia. Spoiler for an almost 60 year old movie (and older book): everyone…

As my American friend from Monterey, Jack Colby, pointed out, kids these days think this activity is a bit off kilter as they have an abondance of other amusements to keep them oka-pied. They can’t be truffled with this old winchester fiesta even if they were a fitness rebel.

In afraid you’re probably right. She didn’t resign because she suddenly had an attack of conscience. The board didn’t force a resignation because they needed to start paying penance. Someone realized it was going to cost them money and enrollment, and ordered her out. Frankly, it probably would have been better if she…

While I understand and despair over how hard it is to be a teacher in America these days, dismissing a kid’s criticism and concern trolling with a “what about the teacherz” is not the way to win folks to your argument.

But if you manage to get ahead of the opposition by the end of the third quarter, it’s absolutely essential that you stay ahead of them at the end of the fourth quarter. Too many teams fail to do that, and they’re sorry for it later.

Thank you for your posts. They are the very definition of “adding to the conversation” and “cogent analysis”.
