My Dad was in the Air Force stationed on Long Island. A bunch of us dependent kids got to take a bus to Shea Stadium to watch the 1968 Mets play a game. Clean Jones got kicked out of the game for something or other. For the rest of the game the whole stadium chanted “we want Cleon!” Eighteen years later the Mets broke…

The Apollo moon landing. It was huge. I had a Saturn 5 rocket bank. We all wanted to be astronauts. After that Nixon resigning. I feel so old. I was actually working as an air traffic controller on 9/11. That seems like yesterday.

I vote for “cunt.”

Bitch is intended to demean...and it does. To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a bitch is just a bitch.

The show isn’t intended for 12 or 13 year olds. It’s TV-MA which means it’s intended for a mature audience. It airs at 10 PM. So, if you want to be mad at someone for what you saw on South Park at age 12, be mad at your shitty parents for letting you watch it.

They think we are all assholes and all deserve to be mocked regardless of our perceived abilities or lack of abilities. It’s refreshing.

I got 11 balls today

Lighten up buddy. I worked service jobs in my younger days. We’d get pranked sometimes. Once we figured it out we’d usually have a good laugh. Usually it was the only thing that broke up our boring ass days.

After wishing he could take his frustrations out to the parking lot, Gomes likened baseball service time to ranks in the military, saying—and this highlights a real misunderstanding of how the military works—”the more you move up the ranks, the less the unwritten rules apply to you.”

Plus 69 stars? 😬

Unless, of course, you plan to park in the shade. Take it away Gino!

Not true Tim. The veteran players sold out the rookies during labor negotiations. They could have fought for no rookie scale or a higher rookie scale. But they didn’t.

A college degree that I had to pay for? Are you serious? Almost everybody devotes the first 20 something years of their lives preparing for a career. This is capitalism. The players get rich, the owners get rich, the citizens of professional cities get raped to subsidize asshole owners and asshole players. Seriously,…

The irony is that your “package” might well be traveling in the belly of a commercial flight. Airlines make about $1 per pound for cargo. If the average baggage fee is $25 for up to 50 pounds you can see why they encourage carry on bags.

Sorry Kristen, but Jet Blue now charges $20 for your first checked bag if you pay in advance/at the kiosk and $25 if you pay at the counter. If you pay $15 more for the “blue fare” when you book, your first checked bag is free.

You mean the chuckle followed by Brady saying “is Plaxico playing defense now? The Giants are a great team. I wish he’d have said they were going to beat us 45-42 and given our offense a little credit?” Yeah, that was just over the top assholery. The Patriots ALWAYS talk up their opponents. Whether they believe what…

Brady never laughed at the notion of the Giants beating them. The entire Patriots organization had nothing but good things to say about the Giants, who had almost beaten them a month earlier. That being said, it has to be the Giants spoiling the Patriots undefeated season. America loves the underdog. Full disclosure,…

I bought the Anova Sous Vide circulator last time it was a deal of the day. I’ve made all sorts of meats using it and they’re all great. But the best by far has been the sausage. I cook it for one hour at 155 degrees and It comes out perfect every time. I just pour the hot water and bags of meat into a beer cooler and…

I hate to admit it, but I enjoy Chip and Joanna. Even though I suspect that most of their clients are entitled, judgemental, Southern Baptists who would not want me to move to their neighborhood. (I’m black and Catholic.) 😬 By the way, you're awesome!
