Nik;

This is fantastic. Years ago, I got laid off at the start of Nov and spent that first month learning how to make everything for Thanksgiving from scratch. The only thing I still do out of that is the pumpkin pie puree myself, but I found steaming them and then scooping the guts out the way to go; I thought it helped…

If “Eskimo bidet” isn’t already the name of some depraved sex act it damn well should be.

You could see the light go out of Alshon’s eyes a little more on each offensive possession yesterday. Yeah, I watched, what about it? At least I wasn’t throwing any punches.

And now the Bears are looking at 1-7 and reliving the glory days of having Rex Grossman (REX FUCKING GROSSMAN!) at QB. Un-fucking-believable.

Did you see the doc “Conan O’Brien can’t stop” that covered how his tour came together after he lost the Tonight Show? It wasn’t always flattering, but overall he came off pretty well. It’s not real life but it was facsinating to see a little bit more of behind the scense Conan vs show Conan.

This feels pretty early into the dumpster fire to start taking shots at the media covering the team, especially when there are plenty of other things about the Bears that Fox could be getting upset over.

I only remember Ringer exists when it’s called out here for shennanigins. Which, as a former avid reader of Grantland, is probably not what they were hoping for. Oh well. Taking a look at the piece called out here, I’m not really missing much.

It has become a running joke in our house over the years that whenever he’s broadcasting a game someone has to shout “Look at the size of that man’s forehead!” Lately our 4-year old has taken up the torch. It makes suffering through Buck’s monotone game calling a lot more amusing.

What is this “These workers could just be replaced by students” garbage? Yes, a lot of work study students end up in dining halls b/c it’s an easy way to put them to work for exactly the financial aid that’s getting mentioned. But those positions supplement the full-time ones that work 40+ hours a week that it takes…

That might help make it fit but it’s definitely going to leave a crease that you have to deal with once it’s on the wall. I’d rather pay an extra $20 to rent a truck/van for an hour, have someone help me load the sheets whole, and keep everything in one piece.

Oh, that totally puts the back half of that response into perspective. Yeah, it’s 9 AM and I’m done internetting for the day. The world is gross.

His answers in the transcript don’t read like someone who has the mental capacity to understand he did something wrong, let alone settle.

It definitely doesn’t taste “right” if you’ve grown up on the fake stuff, but over time it starts to taste better, that’s for sure. I didn’t convert until I was in my late twenties and my future wife told me to give the real stuff a try.

I picked this up in the spring after we moved city to suburbs. Corner lot, and I let the grass get a little long a couple of times. Overall I was pretty impressed. There’s a plug you put in if you want to multch, and it does a fairly clean job with that in. I bagged the first few mows and noticed a rip in the bag,…

And how are both of those examples in the Chicago area? That gelatto article was fucking nonsense. Don’t petition someone to offer something better, watch as their business dones’t survive b/c they’re not delivering what their customer base is looking for. Come on, we’re supposed to have common sense.

Ha! Lean into it, I say. They weren’t our only reason for leaving the city we loved but they were definitely the last straw. 8 months later I miss it less than I thought I would, and haven’t had any neighbor issues yet, fingers crossed.

Come on, who doesn’t love a good ballpark dog with liberal amounts of mustard and those tiny chopped onions that come out of the crank dispenser?

Counterpoint—people who moved into condo above ours in the city, managed a club and came home to stop around at 4 AM every night? Threw trash off their balcony after we talked to them about how much this was messing with the sleep of our two kids under 3? Dickholes.

I’ll just leave this here.
