Yes. Big Marty and his crew of interns (not many employees sinc folks fell over themselves to get in the door). During game nights I’d supervise VIP rooms for the tchotchke give-aways. I most always had free tickets to dole out to friends, I’d get some into the press box or even in gameboard/video production suite.…

My husband told me yesterday he was at a charity second-hand store right after they auctioned off a box of baseball memorabilia for $15, and I had to try hard not to weep. Because it could have been crap, but it could have been awesome, you know?

My favorite pool towel as a kid was garish and had chickens on it. No fucking charm needed.

HT for including references to both Ozzie and Fredbird. I worked for Cardinals Marketing when I was finshing college. If you got those at Busch I likely set some of that up and if you got them through a sponsor tie-in we had to approve through the office. You shoulda seen some of the crap shit folks wanted to emblazon…

The damn Lion King towel is TWENTY YEARS OLD and my oldest still insists it is hers and hers alone. The fish towel is hotly contested. Are these the oldest, thinnest, smallest, and generally crappiest beach towels we own? Yes. Yes, they are. Good times.

The number of letters in each word...my ex was a huge fan of using it (who was almost 30..........................sigh)

I can’t imagine trying to fight Kurt Cobain’s daughter for the guitar, even if she did gift it to him (which I don’t believe for one second).

There are two things that one does not simply do:

Hot take: Jennifer Mayer is a food stylist gone rogue.

“I want Honey Nut Cheerios”

If you are willing to vote for Trump just because Bernie didn’t get the nom means YOU DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN ANYTHING BERNIE WAS DOING.

I have tried, but I still can’t understand the “I love Bernie, which means I hate Hillary so much I’ll vote for Trump” process.

I have so.many.people.muted.because.of.pyramid.schemes.

I thought it was creepy when the opening credits of Roseanne did it briefly to the whole cast, but just a full minute of one person is so much creepier.

Situation one: Tow-truck driver freely admits to leaving disabled driver (who has Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and early stage Crohn’s disease) in non-functioning car on the side of the road solely because she has a Bernie Sanders sticker.
