There’s a Hollywood fundraiser for Trump coming up, if you can get your hands on the guest list that’s probably a pretty good substitute.

I can’t believe that is real. If you’ve ever drank more than a smallish amount of olive oil, you know it stings the back of your throat pretty badly (for science reasons: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110118180514.htm). Drinking as much as that guy has in that glass would be super painful.

I tell my kids all the time that paying attention is a superpower. People will think you’re smarter than you are, things will take you less time, all sorts of good shit. And you stand out, since most people are so unbelievably terrible at it.

There might be a living person whose death I will celebrate more happily, but I can’t think of who it is.

“this has knocked it from the perch” 

I hadn’t seen it but you’re right, that was great. Thanks for mentioning it.

Those are noodles? I was wondering why he plated it on top of sliced white American cheese.

That’s not even remotely true. Other tunnels have multiple lanes, access walkways, etc. This has none of that stuff.

Exactly my first thought when I read that. Shit, I hope he didn’t have a stroke. Scary.

My best Grandpa story is probably too short to submit for one of these, but:

If there’s an E to build from they could make “CURSED”, and since I’ve been to Milwaukee before I’m going to say you’re correct.

>Doug has clearly never bowled a game with bumpers, because it’s an obvious NO NO NO.

Ever been to the WWII memorial in Washington, DC? It’s nothing *but* people posing for selfies next to the column with the name of whatever state they’re from. 

Soviets?

That’s true, but the state isn’t interested in doing its duty, so teachers (like me and my wife and lots of others I know) will step in if we have to.

An LA area station used to do this in the early 2000s for NBA games. You could definitely hear the shoes squeaking and the players yelling, but I don’t remember being especially annoyed by the music or even noticing it all that often. Maybe that’s changed with the “modern day” part of your comment, though.

Fox Sports West 2 used to air Lakers and Clippers games with just crowd noise ~15 years ago, and it was significantly different than just muting the announcers.

How is it that he already runs like Old Vlad Guerrero?

I used to work at UMBC and now I live in California, where nobody has ever heard of the school. The comment I get the most often is that the name makes it sound like a community college.

I wore my UMBC hoodie around Southern California all weekend and got zero “what’s UMBC?” questions. A first!
