I’m a parent. I have just one, younger kid. I sometimes ask people in abstract, just to know if they’re involved in some of the same experiences, but I never, ever ask “why?” I feel like either it’s a personal choice that’s not my business, but far more personal (and far more inappropriate) is the question and…

trump diminishes American credibility.

They also always include submarines to screen against enemy subs, if my understanding is accurate.

We should have a survey that finds the people least interested in being involved in the Boy Scouts and girls gymnastics and make sure those are the only people tasked to do it. Anyone who wants to is immediately forbidden.

I’m a Yankee fan, so I’m claiming no special rights, but it’s just a genuinely great sports moment.

Damn. The thought of the chant made me literally get goosebumps. Literally literally.

It also says they can’t use the evidence from the criminal trial in a civil suit... dum dum DUUUUUUUUM. That’s a bummer for anyone hoping to collect, or maybe even in death, Aaron Hernandez pulled a huge dick move.

They have to sign Ewing and Starks, I mean, those guys got them to the Championship! PROVEN TALENT, PHIL.

Is that the liability piece or the collision piece, or both? And, are you in a state where all trucks are plated commercial, or “TRUCK,” or what? I think in NYS where I live, you can plate them however you prefer, depending on your use, either regular private vehicle or commercial based on your actual process.

You know what? On the whole “causing damage to strangers with high liability” front, that totally makes a lot of sense :)

I’ve never been asked to prove that I have liability insurance before renting a car. I have no idea how that’s possible, but whether regular car or truck, all they ask if I think that you sign to decline it, and they let you go on your merry way. I’m assuming in the fine print is your attestation that you totally…

Something truck-ish with normal plates would be covered (pickup truck from enterprise in most states) but something from uhaul or almost any truck with commercial plates is essentially never covered by your own auto liability, nor is it covered by your credit card. They will let you take a uhaul down the road without…

Like Stampy the elephant. “Animals are like people. Some of them are just jerks.”

He lived in Florida. Story checks out, chief.

Whenever I go sailing, I just scream gentle reminders and polite corrections on protocol at the wind, and avoid mentioning our past unpleasantness. Doesn’t work quite as well as you think.

I have a daughter, but in talking with friends about finding clothes for girls that have pockets on them, we got into discussing the whole “douchebag farming” that we’re doing as a culture when it comes to boys of basically all ages (just as we’re doing “helpless princess farming” for girls)... she sent me a photo of…

Could be that too. I’m not saying that’s not the biggest, hugest, bigliest, most exceptionally luxurious part of it... he was clearly a deeply messed up, horrible dude.

But how many people with millions of dollars in annual income are behaving this way?

I’m not blaming anyone but him for it.

If that’s the impression I gave, it wasn’t my meaning. I was responding to the “it’s society’s fault” just by saying that if you wanted to take the MOST EXTREME POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION OF RESPONSIBILITY then we maybe should talk about the substitute fatherhood provided by a lot…

So, not sure how many it takes to count as “on the regular.”
