Turned 40 this year, really couldn’t give a shit about much of anything​ that’s happened in pop culture in the last 10 years, at least. I have The Offspring’s “Smash” album in my car’s CD player right now. Last year when they announced that “Nevermind” was 25 years old, I was truly stunned.

Currently splitting time between the elliptical and running, because years of hedonism has left me with 15 pounds I really should lose before I try to destroy my knees the old fashioned way full-time

Let’s review: a bid for the World Cup that will require little, if any, stadium and infrastructure construction, has good air travel links to the rest of the world, a generally temperate summer climate, in a region that last hosted in 1994, and recently had the federation house cleaned of (some, at least) corruption.…

If that official and all the players/caddies in that group didn’t think that there was a problem with the ball placement, then there shouldn’t be an issue. If the rules were so hell-bent on having the ball placed back to the exact position within a millimeter, you wouldn’t be allowed to mark your ball at all.

He also puts up great numbers in garbage time against a lot of soft coverage, so his stat lines look way better than his actual abilities.

I don’t know, but I think that the visitor ticket sales won’t be a problem. Vegas is a good place to go for a long weekend: there are direct flights there from most major cities, hotels are plentiful and inexpensive, the weather is warm, there’s good restaurants and nightlife. Way better than going to, say, Buffalo…

Being that Baylor is a Christian university, I hope all this bearing false witness sends them all to hell

The “COCKS” hats haven’t gone away. I still see them quite a bit here in SC.

I get it!!!!

Don’t forget that Paul Ryan benefitted from Social Security benefits as a minor, and wants to cut those benefits for everyone else now! Fuck that guy.

My kids have pointed out they’d be kicked out of elementary school if they did the shit he does.

Let’s not forget that the Republican bill also does away with the mental health parity statute. So apparently a perfect society is awash in assault rifles with no background checks for purchasers who couldn’t get mental health care even if they wanted to. Awesome.

Reporter: “Do you prefer grass or AstroTurf?”

I refrigerate my peanut butter; I’ve eaten the same brand (Smuckers) since I was I child. It has two ingredients (peanuts, salt), so it separates. It’s still spreadable out of the fridge because it doesn’t have palm oil in it, so it doesn’t harden into a rock. Now, if you do a crappy job stirring before you put it in…

I ran track and cross country, and our locker room was fairly boring. We were pretty much all nerds and discussed tests coming up, weekend plans, arranging a ride for some event, if you were going out on a date that weekend (with no attempt to either elicit or share how far you’ve gotten with said date).…

It’s an old law that prohibited the advertisement of liquor sales or prices- signage could only have small typesetting (3" or less), so they came up with a red dot (36" or less) to show where liquor could be purchased. The red dots symbolized the sun (sales only from 9-7). Today you’re allowed to add “ABC” to your…

I think the 9PM thing is a local ordinance; I lived in a town that stopped selling at 9, but the gas station just outside of town (and in the next county) sold until closing at midnight.

The booze isle and the butcher counter are #1a and #1b in any grocery store worth going to.

Ohio used to have a stupid law that you could start selling beer on Sunday at 11, but for wine you had to wait till 12 (no liquor). I never understood this; it seemed like wine should be able to be sold earlier than beer, in case the priest ran out or something. Then I moved to Wisconsin, and holy shit, you can buy…

In high school, I used to go rollerskating with my girlfriend on “church night” (which was Thursday). They would have “couples and backwards only” songs where you would skate around holding hands and trying not to wreck your significant other into the wall. You were technically allowed to skate alone, backwards, to…
