I guess it's that time of year when ESPN throws asses and underboobs and back sacks on the front page of the website.

I did something so nasty in the bathroom of a Mexican restaurant tonight I felt compelled to grab the brush from the little closet and clean the bowl. And I was getting to go food.

So my kids tell me that you don't double-space after a period anymore. I looked and sure enough. When did that happen? Crap I feel old.

They distracted us with the immigration issue so they could take away the double-space.

I am sticking with the double-space except for in terms and conditions I draft. We need all the space we can get.

Random thought.
How about a minor league with weight limits. Say 250 for linemen and 200 for position players.

As a non-NASCAR guy, it is weird how much enjoyment I have gotten out of this tweet and some of the responses to it.

In 2018 that's easy CFB, BBQ ... and NASCAR lagging badly third. Hell, with some effort you could probably find some stuff to push it out of the top three. They've pretty much killed that formerly golden goose.

I hang out with a bunch of NASCAR fans. Now would Atlanta United command more of a discussion, yes (though mostly on the 'experience' rather than the actual players). Any BBQ disagreements I've run into are generally playful in the end (Chili with or without beans is far more aggressive).

It is not necessarily the order as much as it is the mental picture I have of the discussion happening and the people that you know personally who would have and/or actually came to blows over each choice in the discussion. Given the people involved in that tweet, in my mind I am seeing Tim Brando throwing a punch around Tony Barnhart who is trying to cool things down at Marty Smith knocking Marty’s beer can out of its koozie.

College football punches don't even require effort to get going. BBQ is probably the hardest to start a fight over unless you're dealing with strangers. People who don't agree on bbq really don't eat together all that often in my world. I haven't seen a good NASCAR fight since #3 died, with the possible exception of anyone with poor enough taste to admit to being a 24 fan.

Well yeah, but the point is I'm so old the internet's been around long enough that a 19 year old who is on twitter 24/7 and loves memes has never heard of Rickrolling.

Him and the dude from the Chevy commercials. Although I don't know who I hate more... him, or the people in those commercials who act exactly like actors who apparently aren't acting.

My wife left a makeup bag behind at a hotel. They got in touch and put us in touch with a company called ileftmystuff dot com who offered to mail it back to us at a premium.
There was nothing in the bag worth the cost of shipping it back, so we declined. But it (and the current political environment) just got me musing about capitalism and how it really is, by far, the best way to economically organize a society of any degree of size and complexity. Because someone can make money doing it, someone created a company to mail back people's stuff. Here, it was just makeup, but it could have been medication or sentimental jewelry or expensive clothing. It's the sort of little problem that a centralized bureaucracy couldn't/wouldn't bother solving. You'd have some ad-hoc system where the hotel just took your stuff or maybe got in touch with you to mail it back on a case-by-case basis. Or maybe there'd be a government-run "lost property" agency or something. All of which would be less efficient and more difficult than some company coming in and filling the niche. Cool beans. |

CFB is like the Wayne Gretzky of this discussion. It is so far ahead at #1 that the only real interesting questions is what is #2. Or, maybe, another interesting question would be to break down the different aspects of CFB (recruiting, rehashing past transgressions, actual games) and make each one its own category. |

Understood. My memories are circa 2005-2011 when I was in the military. That is when I learned for the first time how serious the debate was between tomato based BBQ vs vinegar based BBQ and Yankee NASCAR drivers and REAL NASCAR drivers.

Why do people leave their dogs outside around the 4th? Dozens of missing dog posts on the Facebook neighborhood group already, same as every year.

In fairness to the long-timers, they always do a good job of posting warnings that it's gonna be loud. That's where the #PlanAhead stuff started this year. a In fairness to the newbies, there are always plenty of "yeah, you said it would be loud, so I #PlannedAhead, but I had no idea it would be THIS LOUD," even from those who aren't upset. If you're new to SC, I'm not sure it's possible to fathom what's about to go down.

Well, considering "Yankee" NASCAR drivers have dominated the sport, I can see where that wouldn't be much of a bone of contention anymore . The last Southern NASCAR driver who won the Cup was Bobby Labonte in 2000 (or Dale Jarrett in 1999 if you don't consider Texas as part of "the South"). These days it's mostly where you fall on Kyle Busch (the 2015 Cup Winner, Las Vegas native, and driver who completely embraces the "heel" personality).

I'm over the fireworks thing after a couple of houses in town burned down last year (and 2,500 acres burned in the dry and windy Boise foothills - that one took out some houses too), but I know enough to shut my mouth and let everyone have their fun because there's no point to doing anything else. And when the 4th falls on a Wednesday, it's 10 days of fireworks in my neighborhood. Nothing massive in scale, but on-and-off explosions all night both weekends around the 4th and during the week. Dogs are pretty resilient, they'll be scared for a day (or the 10 days of fireworks in my neighborhood), and then they'll forget about it. But I don't understand why people keep their dogs outside at all on these days. No matter how much you're surprised by the length or severity of fireworks, a dog can be contained. But every year, there's loose dogs running around everywhere, some will make it home, some will be hit by cars, some will run up in the foothills never to be seen again.

Here, the big push this year seemed to be to eliminate fireworks because of the damage horses do to themselves when they get spooked. Not gonna happen - if people are not willing to change their behavior to help their dogs, they aren't going to care about horses.
We've had our dog for 11 years - got her from the pound when she was 1. She must have been out roaming free as a pup during some nasty weather because she shakes and pants for hours with just a bit of rain/thunder/lightning. Last night was not good for her. We left the lights on and loud music playing.

On Saturday night, I went and saw "Ant-Man and The Wasp." It was fine. Entertaining enough, but I liked the first one better. Anyway, seated next to me was none other than "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" author, and Detroit Free Press columnist, journalist, screenwriter, dramatist, radio and television broadcaster, and musician Mitch Albom. During the movie, Mitch proceeded to eat his entire giant bowl of popcorn one kernel at a time, chewing each one loudly and with his mouth open. I thought there may finally be peace when he finished, but no! After finishing his first giant bowl, he left, got a refill, and came back and continued to eat even more popcorn, one kernel at a time, chewing with his mouth open the entire time. After the movie was done, he left his bowl of popcorn and used bottle of water at his seat for the ushers to clean up.
Do better, Mitch.
