This one felt less like a question and more like wanting/needing to tell a story.

Part of 1 beer(especially with a meal) is not going to hurt your kid - stop being a drama queen.

I can still hear my breath. In. Out. In. Out. Yet still, the silence was deafening. And then he said the words every man, woman and child would never forget: “One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind.” A human being had touched the surface of the moon. Well, two, if we’re counting me.

I think it’s important to teach them both. I grew up only being allowed to spend cash I had on hand, but without ever being taught how to manage credit, as soon as I was able to I was spending like a drunken sailor, setting myself back years financially, as well as lost opportunity for my money to make me money in the…

‘“Non-violent offenders who made poor choices in tough environments as young men,” Bice, a basketball official since 1991, said of the inmates he’s taught.’

You can expend huge amounts of energy trying to get your kids to learn table manners, but nothing you do will ever be as effective as one of their friends seeing them stick their fingers in a bowl of mac and cheese and screaming ‘GROOOSSS’ right in their faces. This is one of the rare things that peers can police that…

“calling and informing whoever hired Sneed of his abuse history”

Yeah you should really stick it to those low-wage workers who would normally be thrilled to be handing out medicine cups of frozen pizza to uncaring hordes. God knows they need the added dose of humility that only your hilarious bon mots can deliver.

Spygate? Yeah, that was something everyone was doing and were told to stop. Belichick, along with a handful of other coaches didn’t, and the league made an example out of the first person they caught. It was cheating, he was caught. No big deal, life goes on.

I accept that the Patriots are unliked, and I accept that catering to this garners more of the all-precious clicks.

Point duly noted, but actually (pushes glasses up) the Gettysburg Address was only about 267 words long; in normal/average speech patterns, it would be less than 2 minutes long.

Basically this, but I managed to make it to the hallway first

Here’s a thought and I’m just spitballling here, but how about we show that as a community we value the education of our young people and pay taxes in a sufficient amount so the kids don’t have to beg the neighbors for money? Nah.

I’m guessing his response was a sincere, sober, and cogent explanation of how while racial/gender/sexual orientation minorities do have legitimate concerns that deserve redress, poor and especially rural white people also have valid concerns that need to be attended to by a government that has left all these members…

Don’t take this as anything but advice - but either 1) buy bacon from the butcher shop in the amount you know you will consume; 2) make the whole package and chop & freeze the rest - great salad or pizza topper; or 3) make it all and give it to a friend/neighbor.

Yeah not so much. The lettuce/tomato portion, youre correct.

Sure, Eckersley doesn’t know how rough it is on pitchers today. David Price has completed 16 of his 259 career starts, and Eckersley completed 17.

Oooooh shit, good call. Fuck, that’s tough. I’ll have to think about Panera.

He’s already got the ending to the book written in his mind:

Show me any place where I’ve lived on television and I will feel like the most special little boy in the world, even if it’s one of the most obvious filming locations on Earth. “Oh wow, the Empire State Building! I used to live 30 blocks from there!” Pretty cool brag!
