15 is late to drive a car for the first time where you live? Damn girl! Did you grow up on a farm or something? Did you practice driving Daddy’s tractor? I got my permit at 17 in NJ. You could get it at 16 1/2 if you worked on a farm.

There is just something wrong with getting blitzed in a town called Christchurch.

You’ve got to be kidding me. You’re going to come down hard on kids for this?!! I feel like vandalizing the Superintendent’s house just because he’s an asshole. By the way, if you do nothing, the toilet paper will just dissolve in the rain. And it is bio-degradable!!

Quite the opus you’ve penned there. There is one thing you missed in your essay though. Calvin never told anybody he didn’t know how to play and he never expressed any interest in learning. Only in the very last sentence do you mention having the courage to ask questions and learn. That should have been much more of a…

Of course he has the same rights. That’s not the question. The question is, does he even know what the protest is all about? And, for that matter, do you?

This is the best response to the controversy that I have ever read! Bravo to you!

There is a lot of logic to this, especially in business. If you ignore something long enough, it will eventually go away.

Football is the only sport that does not have an excessively long season. It’s crazy to play baseball in November and hockey in June. There is no such thing as ‘basketball season’. It’s a winter game for the NBA and colleges and a summer game for the Olympics. Football starts at the beginning of fall and ends at the…

Were the Dodgers too politically correct to win?

It should. Especially when they don’t come all that often. Do the Super Bowl victories mean that much to Patriots fans? Probably not. But tides do eventually turn and maybe those Super Bowl victories will mean more to them when the Patriots are going 2-14.

No.

So, in other words, you can do everything right and still lose. Kind of like life, wouldn’t you say?

Yup, for a Game 7, it was very dull. Not a fun game to watch. Yes, there was the tension that the Dodgers might score at any moment. I was rooting for the Astros but hoping that the Dodgers would make a game of it. All in all, though, it was a good World Series.

This is an EXTREMELY LONG article to convey a very simple point. Maybe her point would have gotten over better in 10,000 fewer words.

Interesting. A sign of the litigious times we live in? Back when I first started working in restaurants, I was shocked and appalled at the amount of perfectly good food that gets thrown away EVERY NIGHT. So I asked a manager, “Why don’t we give the food to the poor and homeless?” And the answer is because of lawsuits.…

When I think about the good times I had at the Atco Drive-In...(*sigh*)

One thing you’re not mentioning. The Cowboys are still looking at 6 games without Ezekiel Elliott. If Ajayi works out for the Eagles, great. If not, at least they kept him away from the Cowboys.

When I first saw the picture at the top of the column, I thought it was the first Darrin Stephens from Bewitched!
