I don't mind the basketball with the raptor head design. It looks better in gold, though.

I didn't say it was perfect, I said that it existed and was a positive. The corruption at the top kept these people in power. Now that there is competent leadership in place, he is doling out punishment and consequences.

It is slightly ironic that the two of the featured blog posts are entries on sabbaticals. This looks like a lot of his previous content with Mars Hill. I guess since Driscoll wrote these, he's retaining intellectual ownership of his work.

depends on what you call your sheep, i would reckon

That's John Green. He and his brother Hank have a YouTube channel called Vlogbrothers that is quite popular. They also host Crash Course, short lectures on such subjects as science, world history, US history, psychology, etc. John is also the host of Mental Floss' YouTube video series. He is also an author, having…

I know Pickens well. I used to work near there in Pumpkintown. Not sure about pumpkins, but they do have a children's home where I worked for about 6 months. Still have friends who live there. Nice little town, Pickens. I drove through there not long ago and nothing had changed since my last time there, some 8 years…

Aiken isn't bad. I teach at a school not far from there. Most people just blow right through it on 2o. There are some good points to Columbia. Excellent medical facilities. The zoo isn't bad, my kids love it. The arts scene is growing, but it's not impressive, especially with Charlotte and Atlanta so close. The…

i fear you might be mistaken, sir/madam

Hey, can we talk about Georgia Southern? 8-0 conference record, 9-3 overall, denied a bowl game by the NCAA. They are a transitional team, still making their way to Div 1-A...so no bowl game for them.

outstanding

have you considered South Carolina? not the nice beachy part or the Upstate...but Columbia, Aiken, or Florence? the only culinary claim to fame they have in this area is mustard based bbq sauce...which they put on every flipping thing. I miss the Upstate...and the beach.

I feel for you. Four years ago, I was in the hospital, being treated for a pair of pulmonary embolisms. I missed Thanksgiving, time with my kids, and spending time with my wife. I was in a Master's program at the time and had to sit out the rest of the semester (but got extensions for all my classes). Get well soon.

i see we have a bill simmons fan in the house

I think this is the first year in a long time that I haven't had pineapple casserole. I'm the only one in my family who likes it since my grandma died, so there's no need to make a pan of it just for me. *whine session over*

I had the opposite happen. I used to keep a trimmed goatee or short beard for most of the early years of my marriage (I grew it in college, where we met and kept it when I started my job to look older). Last summer, I was in an auto accident and was unable to shave or properly maintain my hair, which had always been…
