Hell, when my now 6 year old was about 1.5 he shoved about 20 pennies into my PS3 slot. I didn’t know he did this until he and his brother wanted to watch Cars and SCRRRRRAAAATTTCCCCHHHHHH. The disc was destroyed as was the disc player in the PS3. Thankfully most of my games were downloaded so I could still play but…

And I walk across the street everyday. I could get hit by any number of shitty drivers, but I don’t live my life in fear of random whatifs. The chances of a 3 year old losing an eye to the corner of a coffee table are ridiculously small. In your life have you ever heard of this? I’m 42 and have yet to hear of a…

I have 3 kids, and they all learned if they did something stupid near the coffee table, like jumping on the couch for example, they might get hurt. Stop babying kids and let them get hurt. Now, ours was all wood, so not anywhere near as dangerous as a glass table, but they all hit their heads on it (and the corners)…

These protections are ridiculous.

I was under the impression that if the pick ends up #1 then the Sixers get it, and then the 2-5 it belongs to the Celtics and then 6 and up back to the Sixers. That’s probably wrong as these protections are impossible to keep track of.

That sounds about right for the weight gain! You way sounds great. We all eat the 7 fishes on Christmas Eve, and then I have my mom, sister, uncle, and cousin over for breakfast the next morning and then to my mom’s for prime rib Christmas dinner.

The point of this is it’s quick. It allows for socialization - drinking beer and wine and standing in the kitchen eating lots of appetizer type dishes.

That sounds awesome! Minus the black olives though.

Yeah. It’s an Italian-American thing. My kids dig it because we don’t make them eat anything but the pasta. Everything else they can try or not. And we divide up who makes what to even out the costs. 3 families and a single brother so it’s not too bad.

Yeah, I’m thinking when my MIL and FIL are gone it may be a once every few years thing and not an every year. I do breakfast Christmas morning with bacon, sausage, eggs, cantaloupe, and smoked oyster stuffed striped bass on the grill. Cover that bass with a few slices of bacon and 30 minutes later feasting. Christmas…

It is very good. Add in some really good wines from my brother in law’s collection and some good beers I bring along and it is a festive night, until my in laws break out the presents for my kids. Then all shit breaks loose!!

It’s not a feast in the Church version of “Feast”, but it is a great meal. Here’s a quick link to some more info. I’d give you more here but I’m just waiting for 3:00 to leave work at this point.

Haha. The mainstays are fried smelt (kids love these), shrimp, cod or flounder, stuffed calamari, creamy salmon sauce for pasta. The sixth and seventh are usually a combination of 2 of the following: mussels, clams, king crab legs, and scallops. We live near the coast so most of the seafood we can get is pretty darn…

I don’t mind it. There’s a lot of good food.

Yep. That’s about where I am at this point. Have to go get fish for the Feast of the 7 Fishes this afternoon. Still grabbing gift cards for teachers and helpers. Probably need to get more shit for my wife. Definitely need to grab shit for my mom and sister. And we’re having people over for brunch Christmas morning.

Fair enough.

They may have helped, but the Wentz fumbled on the goal line wasn’t really anything the defense did beside tackle him; he just flat out put it on the carpet as they say. And the defense did nothing that forced Wentz to overthrow once and under throw another super wide open Agalor in the first half. The Eagles score…

I guess if he’s fast enough to make a forward pass appear to go backwards.

It is starting to seem, to me anyway, that maybe huge state universities shouldn’t have sports programs at all. I know that’s harsh, but when it was Penn St. people wanted to blame the cult of Joe Pa and the win at all costs revenue producing sports but here, many of the plaintives are from non revenue producing…
