Well now you’ve got me excited for spring already. I have a perennial patch of ramps in my back yard and they are sooooooo good (especially sauteed with some morels... which, alas, do not grow in my back yard).

It read to me that they got so caught up in writing this that they didn’t stop to consider conflicting details before publishing. The “ramp mushroom” part is another good point. 

She claims he joined the military in the early ‘90's. The Gulf War started in August of 1990 and ended the following February. So, we’re to assume that he joined in 1990 and was shipped out in time to see combat in a 6 month conflict? And that he was either much older than other recruits, or her mom had her when she…

I just left this comment elsewhere. None of it actually adds up, but the dates and ages made it completely unbelievable.

That “Uncle Billy” story had like 20 creepy anecdotes too many. It would have worked a lot better if they had stuck to 2 or 3 incidents with him being a weirdo around town and then moved on. Obviously fiction and not even good fiction.

All of these are winners, but the car following the couple home and The Red House especially creeped me out. “I was by the closet.”

I don’t believe the “Uncle Billy” one, sorry. It sounds like every stereotype about traumatized, mentally-ill soldiers crammed into one story. Like you really think the guy is responsible for gutting a “murder victim” and you don’t call the police? You change your name, but somehow a guy who can’t even connect to…

The Scarlet letter is not puritanical! The puritanical people are the villains in The Scarlet Letter. Hester Prynne is the heroine and she emerges victorious and happy in the end. Sheesh people. Actually read the damn book. It’s not that long. You can knock it off in an afternoon.

Man, that’s a tough one. Johnson went 10-1 in 11 starts, 4 complete games (all shutouts) and 116 K in 84.1 IP (just 26 BB). That’s dominant. Hell, he even got NL Cy Young votes and he was only in the league for August and September.

No way. Dee in the bathroom as an ostrich!

honestly you end up getting so many weapons that I was annoyed my weapons weren’t breaking fast enough

Most covered bridges have had a regular bridge built next to them to offload the traffic from them on the federal highway system.  It absolves the feds from maintenance, which is much higher on a mostly wooden bridge, also allows for more truck/fleet traffic as heights and weight limits come into play on covered…

This, and also train bridges:

Finally, a film that asks the question, “If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?”

McCarthy was like a father to Aaron.

Unacceptable lack of Mark Hamill in there.

Can’t believe you left out the Washington football team as a non-winner but preeminently hateable team.

I don’t brake check people, but if someone is tailgating me I will slowly drop my speed. If you want to drive 5 feet behind me then we will go slowly.
