There’s certainly a happy medium in there, especially depending on what type of tool we’re talking about and how often we are using them. I love my Kreg Jig even though I don’t use it very often, and I’m sure Harbor Freight makes one, but that was a situation where I thought the Kreg Jig was worth the extra money over…

My tips, in no particular order, for someone a lot like you when you started, would be this:

At the local microbrewery here smack dab in the middle of Missouri, they have an extra tap, about 10 feet from the bar, that has water and you can fill-er up yourself. No pitchers to deal with, and they have disposable cups there at, well, your disposal. It’s nice not to have to mess with it and there’s a big lawn out…

I guess I know what I am listening to this morning at work.

We don’t give in and are both (my wife especially) hardasses in general when it comes to parenting, but kids have the emotional maturity and responses of, well, kids. Their brains aren’t fully developed. They lose their everloving minds over not being able to play with their brother’s lego set, or because you asked…

Hank Hill will be the new Asian correspondent for the Olympics:

Agreed. Was it awkward? Yep. But it was a damn good game, regardless of what teams were playing, and I thought it was kind of nice of him to acknowledge that.

Ted Cruz calls a basketball hoop a “ring”

My god, this is proof I will watch anything.

I’m confused as to how you’re confusing a president’s wife with Hank Hill’s dog, and also confused how she fits into this movie’s plot, but I too am going to stick it out to the end.

I stole this from Gabe DeArmond:

I’m with you...magazine fundraisers sell at least semi-functional items at not awful prices...or I could buy a 2 oz. jar of cookie dough for $32, of which the school receives $1.50. I’ve just started writing a check to the school every time they have one of these fundraisers, because it kills me to put the form in our…

I want to like St. Louis ribs; I’m from Missouri and they’re cheaper than baby back ones, but the baby back ones I smoke always turn out great and the STL ones are usually a dumpster fire...

For some reason, I almost immediately started to read this in Ralphie’s voice from A Christmas Story(the adult, narrator Ralphie’s), which is the greatest compliment I have ever given to an article on parenting.

Same...my wife and I really enjoyed it, and it even got me to read the book that inspired it (which is no small feat).

Brilliantly executed (your post and Jeff Fisher’s maddening mediocrity). It kind of kills me inside that now that I actually want to watch the product on the field, I don’t want to because Kroenke is Satan and moved my team away so people in LA can continue to not watch them. And this is coming from someone (per my…

Any thoughts on how these compare to Charles Tyrwhitt shirts? I am in need of a few and have bought the Tyrwhitt ones the last few times.

Game started triple double for the Cards and a 1-0 lead, and both pitchers were absolutely lights out after that...was one of the best games I’ve ever seen. But yeah, Howard broke himself on that last play.

I’m one of the 9 people in this world that thinks the 1st generation Panamera is a really good looking car...if I wanted something fun to drive and only had 2 kids (pretty sure there isn’t a bench option in the backseat) and had a $35k budget I’d go with a pre-owned 1st gen one:

Pizza Hut’s thin crust pizza, ham and pork sausage with extra sauce, is an inoffensive lunch for $7.99 that will feed you for more than one meal, and is actually pretty good. Little Caesars makes my body hurt. Sbarro’s is the worst. Domino’s pan pizza is probably the best chain pizza out there. These conclude my chain…
