After breaking my ankle in 3 places this year, and seeing my own foot pointing the wrong way, I’m probably a little desensitized too. I agree, the dangle is a little oof, but it’s not as bad as that basketball player who really jacked up his leg a few years back.

Also odd how freaked and grossed out people can get when they receive a dirty fork at a restaurant. Well guess what sporto, that fork wasn’t hand-washed.

IIRC, the other big debate I’ve seen is whether to refrigerate ketchup once opened or not.

See, the problem I have with this response (and with Salty’s response above, which was basically the same) was that I feel it’s too easy to come off as condescending by just asking leading questions then going “oh, did you mean <pronunciation>?”

It’s a good thing my son switched a couple years ago from cheeseburgers to chicken mcnuggets, but the “no cheese for you!” still confuses me. (More annoyed that they stopped letting the 4 piece nugget meal be as cheap as the hamburger, though. I’d get him that, plus a 10 piece value meal for me, and he’d get about 3…

I missed these previously, so I never knew until just now that what I needed in my life was for Harry Potter to read godawful tweets.

I “hate” the fire codes (albeit, understand them) that won’t let me use my grill on my apartment balcony. I bought a portable one with stand for this reason, but it’s such a pain trucking it through the apartment and up and down the stairs. Would be so much nicer if I could just step out the sliding door and do it…

Only if this was on Deadspin.

Last year, I actually went to a Wal-mart on Thanksgiving morning, because I needed a new (artificial) Christmas tree and I sure as heck wasn’t going on Black Friday (that’s when I set it up, after all!), and I was kinda wishing I had the regular shopping list, cuz there was practically no one there.

I was playing somebody in grade school, and he walked into a fool’s mate in like 5 moves. I saw it as possible on like his 3rd move, set up for it, and sure enough, 2 moves later, checkmate.

I was thinking that the AI that learned to pause before the end of Tetris had learned about rage-quitting :P

Thanks. Yeah, I had surgery a week ago to pull out one of the screws they put in to give me a little more mobility back. (Also to take advantage of the fact that I was already max out of pocket for the year, so it shouldn’t be costing me anything.)

“less severe if I’d broken the ankle” - maybe in one place? I slipped on ice this past March, and broke my ankle in 3 places (foot was not pointing straight), had surgery, and they told me ‘full’ recovery can take a year. (And I still ache, and can’t really run.)

It would be impossible to tell the story of Major League Baseball without talking about Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Does that make him worthy of being inducted into the Hall of Fame?

So what’s the over/under on “games until his next suspension”?

A straight $20K is also easier to figure the income taxes on, too.

I’m all about the Mike Holmes crew (I think that’s DIY? I dunno, it and HGTV are next to each other on my cable and run the same kind of stuff, it overlaps).

Once or twice in high school, I’d check on our across-the-street neighbors’ dogs, 2 rescue greyhounds, and a dalmation. I mainly had to let them out in the fenced backyard, and check the food and water bowls. The dalmation wouldn’t come near me (the neighbors had said this might happen, and not to worry), but man,…

I got the Spanx ad too, although my BMI is into the “fat” territory. (Sadly, it’s ALL in my gut, too.)
