At almost every school in the known universe, anyone with the title “Associate Professor” has tenure. I should know...

Agreed. Even if classical music is not your particular bent, listening to some John Williams SW is worthwhile.

While visiting my father in law on Sanibel Island, FL, I had to scour 2 Ace Hardware to replace the pull chain on his ceiling fan. Dude lives in a $750K condo on a private beach, and made me replace the $4 part. Fuck those things.

While in grad school, was in Austin in 2002 for a math conference (don’t judge me), and at a bar on 6th, and Hank Williams Jr. & his band were there drinking. At about 1am, they just hopped up on stage and played. It was fucking awesome. Amazingly, the same night,Russell Crowe and 30 Odd Foot of Grunts were playing…

On my long commutes to work at 5am, my go to music (when Howard is boring, I’ve heard the interview already, etc.) are the SW original trilogy soundtracks on my iPod. Gets me through the hour commute. God, I’m so glad I was born in ‘74. SW is in my wheelhouse like no other...

Any item published by Tad Dickman is a must read. Jesus, that sounds like a made up name. But nope, he's certainly real.

Worst memory of my life as a fan. My family has had Steelers season tickets since 1970, and that was my first SB in person. What a kick in the balls. I still maintain they were going to come back and win that game. They had all of the momentum at that point. Fuck Neil O’Donnell.

It’s a (mostly) affluent suburb of Pittsburgh (in which I live, BTW) where there are no buses in the school district. On many days, it looks like a car show outside the schools with the kids being dropped off. Sounds like this happens in lots of places in the US. Not surprised.

Do you live in Mt. Lebanon?

My aunt made something called “tuna mold”, which was canned tuna, onions, celery, condensed tomato soup, and gelatin. She even had a plastic mold that looked like a tuna. It was present at every family get together. That shit still haunts my dreams. The first (and only) time I tried to explain it to my Italian wife…

Whether intentional or not, “chasing he own tail” would’ve won the internet today if it weren’t for Jay Sanin’s comment. Bravo.

Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense.

Bombas all day, every day. No shows with shorts, and crew for everything else. I have over 30 pairs total of both, in many colors. I’m addicted. My wife pointed out after my last order that, at $12 a pair, I’ve spent over $400. On socks. Huh.

Cool. Let’s play Hold ‘Em sometime. So, my 3 deuces beat your 3 aces? Sounds great.

I’m a math professor at an ACC school, and I teach advanced probability periodically. Cards are a perfect example to use in probability, but you would not believe the number of students (Jr/Sr) that have NO IDEA about a deck of cards, including suits, 2-A, etc. It boggles my mind every time.

It embiggens us all.

Shit like this is why I’ll always be a baseball fan on some level. NFL, college FB & BB have surpassed MLB in my eyes, but this was great. I only wish the Pirates didn't jettison Joey Bats years ago. I could've watched those awesome bat flips in person.

Similar thing happened to a good friend of mine during a beer league game we were playing. It’s well known amongst his friends that this guy has one unusually large ball along with his other, normal sized ball. After getting hit in the nuts, he’s immediately taken to the ER. His wife periodically recounts the saga of…

Read the comments section on PennLive.com. The number of bots that defend that fucker JoePa is fucking astounding.

Agreed on all parts. I’be been a math professor at Big East/ACC school for the last 13 years, which also happens to be my alma mater.
