raccoons are not cute, not cuddly, and definitely not afraid of you. i had a 15 year war with the raccoons at my old house, who liked going under my deck. these things are ingenious and will stop at nothing to get what they want. as a boy in ohio, i watched my dad shoot them as i held the flashlight. here on the…

i lived my first 30 years in cincinnati, and ate mounds of skyline chili. usually at about 1:30 a.m. after 15 beers. the chili is an acquired taste, for sure, but it’s one of those foods that you crave while drunk. you inhale it then wait. when you wake up the next day, your skin smells like it, and you have…

as a young man in cincinnati, i ate mountains of this stuff, usually after 10 or 12 little kings cream ale, and at 2 a.m.. actually, to say i “ate” it is inaccurate, as i usually inhaled it. 2 coneys and a 3 way was my standard order, and while eating it, i was happy. i have long since moved into middle age, and…

hey alex, stick to funny sports takes. someday, when you grow up, you will look back at all this silly race baiting you guys apparently now specialize in, and realize how juvenile it all is.

i did not know such a tool existed! very funny. again with the race card?

“...a team that white people like...” hahahaha! that is very funny! are you guys that hard up to fill space that the descent into the race card comes so quickly? seems to be a common theme here...

i live in chicago, and as a baseball fan who did not grow up here, it always amazed me how quickly the pale hose championship was forgotten. i remember driving by u.s. cellular as one of the world series games was being played, and a large sign on one of the neighborhood houses read, ...”THIS IS ARE YEAR”. for me,…
