Workout headphones? Try bone conduction. They sit against the bone just in front of your ear and send the sound into your head by physically vibrating. (1) You can clean ‘em. (2) Leaves your ears open to hear the dude-bro telling you your hour on the elliptical is over. (BTW, I don’t happen to think that the sound…

I completely agree. If he doesn’t flinch (and it’s 100% because he though the mound pitch was coming straight at him), then you probably have three good-to-okay pitches, one curling joke, and a quarter (which is half of a 50 Cent).

Bodega? As has been mentioned - that’s the correct term for a Latin convenience store (especially in New York). With 45% of the population of NYC being white, how can you say “don’t say that”? If the store owner is Latin and/or the customers are predominantly Latin, is it better to ignore race and say “corner/drug…

The other three guys range from “pretty good” to “eh, good enough” to “kidding around.”

Oh, you’re going to Hilton Head, too?

Have you whitelisted us? If not, is it because you hate America?

Unfortunately, the sound system is stuck on repeat ...

After far too many years playing the game, they are yellow. Specifically they are optic yellow (hex #ccff00) a color which was chosen because it shows up better on TV. Further, the International Tennis Federation only allows white or yellow for match play.

I have the S6 Edge Plus which was, I think, the first Samsung with the curved edge display. It’s been flawless for 2+ years. I’m always a little careful with my stuff, but I’ve got a slim case (Incipio if you’re curious) on it and even with a few minor drops, it’s 100% fine. No cracks or anything.

I’m not advising you…

I’ve got the 6 Edge Plus and I’m picking up my S9 today. My carrier upped the value of my trade in from $70 to $200 for getting the 9 and the local Best Buy had them for $100 off as well. Pretty decent savings off of (the ridiculous) sticker price. Buying from BB, then taking the $200 credit on my carrier account once…

If Chicago had decent weather it would be the greatest city on Earth.

I’ve got photos somewhere (probably on home computer - not seeing anything in cloud storage because I’m old and distrustful) of a big damned bird carrying a fish out of the ocean, landing at the house next to our vacation rental, and proceeding to make his own sashimi. I’d just gotten a new, longer lens, so I got some…

You monster!

Having previously lived the tennis life (12-ish years culminating in 6 days per week and 3 hours per day of practice), I applaud your choice of equipment. The reach advantage alone is worth the investment.

All you really need to play tennis is a friend.

Bravo. Exceedingly well done.

Let’s see all the ways I (barely) have a connection to this:

I work spitting distance to the Sears Centre (at Sears corporate).
If they don’t sell enough tickets, I’ll likely get some for free at work.
CM Punk and I go to the same dentist.
My dentist went to high school with both Punk and Colt Cabana.
Colt wrote a kids…

Tucumcari NM
December 1995, road trip from Chicago to Pasadena (Woo! Northwestern Rose Bowl.)

Stopped at the Flying J for gas.
Looked up.
Saw a sign: “Gas skips will be PERSECUTED”.
Not prosecuted, persecuted.
Of the five of us traveling, two were Jewish and one was black.

We got the hell out of Dodge.

I’ll keep it simple: gimme gimme gimme.
