    It does seem the expected protagonists may not be be who we thought they would be

    I expect that in her efforts to frame Harry as "the grohhhs," Maeve is eventually going to turn him onto Team Stevenson. 

  2. He's currently playing the Jardiance commercial at full volume and alternating between either 2x or 0.25x speeds. 

    It was funny at first. 

    It's not funny any longer.

    He's currently salty at us because we have definitely refused to buy him a hang glider for his birthday. 

    The facts that we live in Chicago and he's turning eight years old are unpersuasive - "I could be the only eight year old who does it!" 

    Out of the blue at dinner tonight, "So when are you guys getting me my hang glider?" 

  4. Doomlet and I were at an event today where the current Cannonball record-holding car was also in attendance.

    Pretty nifty.

  5. For anyone else who watches this with the subtitles turned on, pay close attention to the lyrics of the opening song - it's utterly incomprehensible to me, and I'm curious whether anyone else can make heads or tails of what it's supposed to be about, what it communicates, what general vibe it's supposed to impart, etc.

    Here’s the next question I have…..how strict are they on the 14x14x14 cooler rule? I’ve found a few that are close but may exceed the height limit by a few inches. I don’t want to lug a cooler around so I am specifically looking at backpack coolers. Here’s the one I am looking at purchasing.

    Any recommendations are appreciate.

    Haven't been to TMS, but at plenty of other tracks, the general rule is "don't bring something that is undeniably gigantic and conspicuous." If it's not going to be large enough to inconvenience people seated near you, you should be fine. 

    It's hard to tell exactly how big that thing is (awesome how Academy doesn't list the dimensions, not like that's ever important with coolers...) but I would give it a shot. If you get turned away, go to another gate or two until you find the guy who doesn't give a shit. 

    Just in case you fully strike out, I would also leave a smaller cooler in the car. Worst case scenario, you have to go back to the car and return with a few fewer beers.

    Does anyone else laugh every time Lewis gets the mic and immediately starts talking to the crowd? 

    I appreciate how he has never been in front of anything but the best crowd in the world.

    I feel like a lot of neutral fans would say Steven Adams' presence cancels out his shittiness, but the Warriors don't really have someone as likeable to cancel out Draymond.

    Steve Kerr is a solid counterweight for me.

    Someone at my office has been stealing my food.

    I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen food in the office freezer as a last resort. I had 10 minutes between meetings and went to the fridge. At least 2 of the items were gone. I mean, really?

    Buy the same product again, leave the package outside in the direct sunlight for a week or two or three, then put it in your office freezer. 

    Just remember not to eat it yourself.

  10. Maeve placed a call to someone named Paul who presumably planted the bomb. 

    I think it's pretty clear that she's trying to get both Conrad and Harry out of the picture and install Eddie as the new boss of the family. Why she wants that is beyond me, but it's also clear that she behaves erratically and without sensible judgment. 

    I'm pretty sure that the montage accompanying the opening credits includes the burning Mercedes, so the explosion came as absolutely no surprise to me. I hate it when shows spoil their own shit.

    May be an image of text that says 'work at a credit card company. Someone replied to our offer by taping the "no postage necessary" flyer to a box full of their trash and a small boulder. BUSINESSREPLY.MAI BUSINESS REPLY REPLYMAL MALS LULLMAMILLJI'

    I made it my New Year's resolution one year to send back every single postage paid postcard or envelope that I received via unsolicited marketing efforts (never with my own information, of course.) 

    Some envelopes contained boogers, belly button lint, and/or pubes; others contained crude notes, some were empty, and many contained fragments/shreddings of each other's return materials. 

    It was gratifying in a delightfully petty way for a while, and then it eventually got pretty tedious. I think that I made it to around October before abandoning the project.
