Swimming. I can jump in a pool and not drown, but cannot get from one end to the other unless my feet touch the bottom. And I lived on a boat as a kid! I’ve taken plenty of swimming lessons, but never gotten good enough to, you know, swim.

My last cheesesteak was from Rocco’s at the South Philly Home Depot. Also great the next day. Their sausage is on a whole other level tho.

As a lifelong Mariners fan, I cannot agree more with this approach.

My favorite meal in Costa Rica was literally in somebody’s living room. They had a little menu and Mom would basicslly serve us home cooking while her husband and kids watched TV in the next room.

You can get amazing meals from places in hardware store parking lots.

One thing I love about Philly is how so many people will tell you the best sandwich at most places with “cheesesteak” in the name is the roast pork, and others tell you one of the best cheesesteaks is from a place named for it’s roast pork. And *everyone* says stay away from Pat’s and Geno’s (if they like you).

Gritty travels with a 2-man security detail. I think Team Gritty cam pull it off.

“It only took a few snaps of Champ vs. Jerry to see that the guard had changed.”

As the driver of a 2010 Mazda3, I can’t agree enough with everything you (and your wife) said. It’s a fine car, as long as you’re not sitting anywhere besides the drivers seat. I never noticed how cramped it it until I drove with my wife the near-interminable 6-7 hours it takes to cross Pennsylvania. The back seat…

Phillies fans haven’t seen a non-outfielder patrol LF like that since the days of [checks notes]...Raul Ibañez.

Are there Ohio State Truthers for this, like there are with Penn State?

I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize the non-Rough Riders.

There should be a Billionaire Sports Owner league with Degree of Difficulty ranking for franchises’ odds of winning a championship in 10 years, so we can rank team owners accordingly. Like, does Paul Allen get more credit for the Seahawks winning an SB than Joe does for winning an NBA title with the Warriors?

I refuse to recognize the Roughriders. Sorry.

Fans of the CFL’s Rough Riders nod in agreement.

Goddamn you. (“It looks like you’re renaming your NBA franchise. Would you like help?”

“The LA Braves”

Just noticed that a 24x32 inch “canvas” is an option. MOM WHENS MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN?
