This. I never knew this was a thing people did...I assumed if you bought tickets from a private party, they either had to email you a .pdf or hand-deliver or mail the paper tickets. I had no idea you could just drop off your tickets at the Will Call window and expect them to hold onto them for you and deliver.

Sold out...no longer available. Great deal though; looks like we’ll have to get one at Ikea instead for a few bucks more.

It’s been a long time ago, but when I was a kid I saw the graphics on the back of the box and had to get this for Christmas:

That essay was written in 1984....a LOT has changed since then.

I’ll give you last year’s average offense (actually, they weren’t really average for most of the year, they were downright awful) but the offense in 2013 was pretty fantastic actually. They scored 58, 38, 45, 41, 51, 41, 36, 24, 31, 48, 24, 28, 42 and 41 points respectively. Last year you probably could have cut all…

Beats the hell out of talking about deflated footballs.

Washington State’s defensive coordinator was the safeties coach here at ol’ Mizzou last year, and I know him a bit. He’s smart and is a good recruiter; I think he’ll do well there. I’m not saying they’re going to the Rose Bowl anytime soon, but I think he’ll help. They should be better than last year!

The license plate, my god the license plate....

I’m not going to lie, this is a fantastic idea. Minus the passing out of the beard hair:

My method is still smokey, because I use a cast-iron pan to finish the steak and own a house where I can open the windows and only get sort-of yelled at by my wife...but it is cooked how I want it. Jane below me here says to use a culinary blowtorch; that might work well for you and not cause as much smoke as a…

Spending $40,000+ on a minivan is insane. Buy a used one if your wife needs the bells and whistles, but it’s insane, especially if no one is sitting in the backseat 95% of the time. My guess is if you’re spending that much on a minivan then your kids have tablets. They’re way nicer than the screens in your typical…

Agreed. Ours is newer (2012) but the insurance is dirt cheap, it gets great gas mileage (we spent less than $120 RT in gas from MO to VA last month), it’s reasonably comfortable for a family of four and I think you’d have to be going 90 mph (which may or may not be possible) to get a cop to take a 2nd look at you. But…

I stopped eating steak at restaurants a long time ago for this very reason, and because steak is basically the only food I can make at home as well (OK, almost as well) as a decent restaurant. I can get my butcher to cut me a steak that’s 1.5-2” thick for under $10/lb, which is nigh impossible to get at a restaurant…

Maybe 1 in 25 of us...I was just thinking “I bet he was the best hitter on his LL and HS team growing up”

Well, it set ratings records in The US, but we are a pretty small piece of the puzzle when it comes to revenue globally in soccer. We care a lot about women’s soccer relative to the rest of the world; most other countries could not care less (and, relatively speaking, the inverse is true for men’s soccer). I think…

If you’re looking for a better way to keep the temperature of your kettle low and slow and cook for HOURS, watch this video. I use it exclusively now, with a drip pan in the middle filled with beer and the brisket on top. No money for a Weber Smokey Mountain, and if you use this method you can make a ring out of fewer…

That, and if David Robinson doesn’t hurt his foot (I think it was his foot) none of this happens, because they don’t get Duncan....crazy how things have worked out since they got that break (pun intended).

Somehow, I had never been subjected to Harrelson and hegone until last night. God it was awful. He kept talking about cookies too for some reason...

I flew from KC to Chicago (granted, a very short flight) and it was fine. For the price ($25 pp each way) it was insane. Flights should not be comparable in price to driving somewhere in your Prius. I hear tons of people complain about Spirit, but it is what it is; the cheapest way to get from Point A to Point B in an…
