+All the palmettos

I’ve been saying that since they left the ACC.

For what it’s worth, they had never beaten an ACC school, a fact I was constantly reminded of watching the game as a Tech fan

They’ve beaten South Carolina twice and I was at both games. I hate being a Gamecock fan.

+1 bottle of rock and rye 

I’ve had baba ghanouj exactly once. Regrets: I’ve had a few.

And not all is lost for lefties. The vast majority of first basemen are left-handed and, if you’re a lefty and can throw harder than 93, you can have a 10 year career floating around various bullpens.

I didn’t start listening to Car Talk until I was in college and had a $500 car that I could barely afford to keep running, so I had to learn how to do it myself. Years later, I was a consultant and landed in Boston on the day that Tom passed. I remember listening to NPR and seeing the info boards over the Mass Pike…

And I won’t give them money.

Same reason I always order a shot with my beer. Can't get drunk on whiskey if you're buying beer. It's just math.
