We went to a frozen custard stand after our wedding - their policy is, you show up dressed in formals for a wedding, you get a free concrete! :) (our wedding photographer tipped us off to this one, and I was like “hell yes”, especially for a July wedding)

I knew my son at 4-5 was definitely starting to read when one day he just read the subtitle that was on the screen for some anime we were watching (I don’t remember what it was, but it was pretty basic).

I’ve told this story before once or twice, but...

I did, but Pole Position (II?) on the Atari 2600 didn’t exactly provide a realistic driving experience, with all of a joystick and button for controls.

Oh definitely.

Not a Volvo, but my little brother just yesterday ordered a new Ford Ranger through a dealership. He went there last week or so, once they got a few in, to do a test drive to see if he actually liked it, or should go with the F-150 (his job has him working out in the field a bunch, so he actually needs a truck), and…

I’m assuming it’s a holdover from French (which, IIRC from days of yore taking it in high school, has many, if not all, leading ‘h’s as silent, hence l’hôpital*, l’hôtel)?

Yes, SNY! I *thought* there was one, but I was blanking and only could remember for sure that I got YES and MSG.

Yep, Spectrum, although I’m in Upstate NY if it makes any difference. I figured it was probably Yankees and Mets, but wasn’t entirely sure on the latter...

Yeah, I mean, too often it gets abused, but hell, if they stole Vic Berger’s video, THAT’S WHAT IT’S FOR. DMCA that thing, and everything else.

True enough, I just couldn’t resist taking a crack at the Steinbrenners and such :)

Yeah, I was thinking about that - I mean, George died, so what did inheritance taxes do the sons’ desire to spend money? And with the Dodgers, IIRC it was an investment group that bought it from McCourt, and they’re gonna want some kind of decent return on their investments. 

Just a nitpick:

Tomato / tomato sauce funk is the worst. If you get the washing done quick, it’s fine, but if (like my wife, or me when she’s out of town) you let things sit in the sink for several days... uggggh. 

It’s not that he left, it’s how he left. If he had come out and said in 2015 “I’m a billionaire, I can do what I want, and I want to build an NFL pleasure palace in LA and rake in the money. Sorry STL but I can make way more money in LA.”, I don’t think it would have been as bad. Instead, he says nothing for the…

Wait, wait, I can’t stand Twittering that hard... got any links?

I’m  hoping his Super Bowl prediction is as accurate as his 2016 election prediction...

Yeah, agreed, the bold (and the horizontal lines) make it stand out better for when it’s a question, especially vs when Drew et al have just stuck in another quote for some part of the answer.

Nah, I didn’t love ‘em. I was a Rams fan at the time. My Pats hate is from the beginning of this run! Right from the get-go! ;p
