Maybe they should just have Gene Wilder show up at the end of the season to really teach the kids a lesson.

Many years ago, my mother said something to me (I think she got it from Dave Barry) that went “anyone who is not nice to service people is not nice, period.” I applied that rule to my dating life and it’s saved me countless unpleasant meals in the “embarrassed husband tips $50” vein.

Truly, malignant narcissists are…

He’s going to be the person we point to and say THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS

Are you obtuse, or just missing my point on purpose?

Meh. I hear you. I misread tone on the interwebs. Who knew?? Just do me a favor and leave a little place in your heart for the kids (i.e. mine) who don’t always excel despite their and their parents’ best effort.

It really says something that you consider finishing a half-marathon “losing” or “failing.”

The problem with that belief is that playing to win does not remove the ability to play for fun. The league I was in eventually reached a point where they gave everyone the same trophy, there were no “winners” any more. I never joined that league again, but I continued playing hockey regularly, even to this day. I…

Right?

I’m quietly and patiently waiting for the Taylor Swift backlash to begin. I am so irritated by everything she does and I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because she has a touch of that everything-must-be-perfect-at-all-times/ “NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!” vibe to her.

It was mind-blowing to me. I tried to explain that to her: “No, you get an A for outstanding effort, you get a C for just doing enough to get by. That’s how it works.”

But she insisted I was wrong. “We always get As for finishing the assignment in our other classes. This guy is ruining our averages.”

Yeah, i’ve done a number of century rides, love the shirts, don’t even know where the “completion” medals are.

Look, just because someone went to the Moon that doesn’t mean they’re not full of shit.

So they mastered interstellar travel and they were interested in our comparatively pleb-tier nuclear weapons?

Seems legit.

I recommended your post, because every poster deserves a star.

Try working with moderates. “Can we move this conference call forward? You guys have been stamping your feet and holding your breath for the last hour. Some of us have work to do.”

It’s not the same thing as benchwarmers on the winning team getting a ring, it’s more like Raiders players getting trophies for being an NFL team.

O had a friend who was in grad school and complained that her C on a project should’ve been an A because she hit the page count and turned it in on the day it was due.

Y’know, this is a dick move, but I support it anyway, because someone has to make a stand against the trophies-for-participation mentality.

Giving a last place kid a trophy for showing up is a form of public humiliation.
