I wrestled at a division 3 school so there weren’t any scholarships up for grabs but coaches could (and did) send lists of kids they wanted to get in to the admissions department.  One of my coaches came up to me before a match and said “the kid you’re wrestling, we were recruiting him, but he had the lowest ACT score…

Anthony Robles was born with one leg and won a national championship for Arizona State in 2011. He does commentary for ESPN for the national finals every year.

I went to a school in Wheaton’s conference, my advisor had been up for a job at Wheaton and was told that faculty had to sign pledge to completely abstain from alcohol during their employment.

The only thing we need pineapple sculpin for is mixing with habanero sculpin.

Undersea vents providing enough heat and nutrients to support an aquatic ecosystem which includes enough fish for the wampa’s. Tauntauns are clearly a non-native species since there isn’t any vegetation anywhere and they drop dead when they’re outside and the sun goes down.

James Joyce wrote a whole book about an early Dropkick Murphy’s song?

The local conservatives who have all been super concerned that the town’s response to the racist graffiti in the schools is a violation of their free speech were all losing their minds last year when someone spray painted ‘Fuck Trump’ on a maintenance building in the middle of the town forest.

I live in the town in question and I disagree that the school has a good idea of who’s doing it. There have been enough public statements from members of the school board, the superintendent, school administrators, and teachers (and I don’t think any of them are good enough actors to fake it).

The Reading Patch is an online only pseudo-newspaper, which will print pretty much anything anyone sends them.

Rubber bands also.  Every house in the country has a big pile of them in a drawer somewhere and nobody has bought a rubber band in decades.

Them wiping their faces on the couch has never failed for us.

Kyle lost in the NCAA finals at 197 as a freshman, he moved up to heavy his sophomore year.

Drew, the key to getting your kids to stop insisting on wearing seasonably-inappropriate pajamas is to just tell them that the ones they want are in the wash. Kids have no idea how long it takes to do a load of laundry. We told my son that the 5 blankets he wanted piled on him were in the wash for an entire summer.

I’ve got 2 kids with winter birthdays. You don’t have to invite the whole class, just let the kid having the birthday pick 3-5 kids to invite (depending on how big your house is). Blow up a bunch of balloons and let the kids kick them around/throw them at each other in the living room until multiple kids are crying,…

If Worcester just ‘really, really, really, really, really wanted a baseball team’ maybe they would have shown up for team they built a stadium for in 2005.  That team went under in 2012 and couldn’t draw 2000 fans a game in the last few years they were there.

During wrestling season, we used to drive all the way from Reading for breakfast at Brothers between weigh-ins and school starting.

where though?

Why do we even have legalized gambling if I can’t find betting lines on who wrote the op-ed?  

I live in a medium sized suburb with a public access TV channel funded mainly through an agreement with the cable companies that operate in town (the town negotiated something like $7 from every cable bill every month goes to funding the public access channel). We get pretty much all public meetings (selectmen,…

Guys, take your money to your local minor/independent/summer college league game.  They cost less, they’re more fun, and the team isn’t ripping off the tax payers as much.
