  1. Have you not noticed that he just moves on to the next sport where aggy will assuredly dominate?
  2. Sweatergawd I was looking at the Rose Bowl on Google Maps and this place was highlighted nearby: https://www.cintima.co/about-us
  3. That's Galapagos turtle long time for a university president.
  4. Holy shit, I just noticed that he's replacing Gerald Turner, who has been there for fucking ever... ie, I think he took the job when I was an undergrad there.
  5. They're frantically pissed about the US winning gold two years in a row at the world junior hockey tournament while Canada doesn't even medal, so I'm not sure that's a joke.
  6. Trump just wants Canada to be a state so that he can control the huge faucet that brings water to California. Brilliant policy, IMHO.
  7. She definitely does. I'm the asshole here, but she has huge control issues, and my whole childhood was spent fighting against my parents' control issues, so it's just a bad mix.
  8. Too good -- "Make yourself at home! But I'm going to insist on not letting you do anything for yourself like you would if you were actually home!" She's from Arkansas, so my wife always claims it's a Southern thing.

    Getting old sucks

    Had a colonoscopy this morning. Nothing but jello to eat yesterday and had to get up at 3:30am today to choke down the laxatives. But if you've over 45, this is absolutely necessary.
  10. Obligatory:
  11. Spent a week with the in-laws and it wasn't as bad as usual. FIL is fine, but MIL treats everyone like they're 5 and doesn't want to let anyone do anything for themselves, which drives me batshit. She sets a table for breakfast every morning -- knife, spoon, fork, napkin -- even if everyone is just eating cereal and toast like they always do. The last thing I want to do when I wake up is sit down at a table to eat with everyone so I always skip that, which bothers her. One morning, I was getting some leftover pizza out of the fridge and she comes into the kitchen hurriedly and asks, "Do you want me to heat the oven up for you?" and I kind of snapped at her ("No, I don't want you to heat the oven up for me!") because I was standing right next to the oven at the time, plus I eat cold pizza for breakfast regularly, which my wife told me she had already told her, plus who heats up leftover pizza in an oven anyway? The day after Christmas we got up early to start the 12-hour drive back and she's bent out of shape because we're not eating breakfast at the table with knives and spoons and forks... Wife and I are in the kitchen talking and she comes in and says, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!" I blurted out "YOU HAVE SPOONS???!" which got a disapproving glare from the wife, but now gives me something to annoy my wife with every day since -- every time my wife says she's hungry, I say, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!"
  12. All of these people are nothing but parasites.
  13. This guy is angrier than the sea today, my friends:
  14. Interesting strategy:
  15. Everyone involved in this situation seems like a 100% pathetic loser.
  16. Snow means a big crowd at the dog park... 20250107_120802.mp4
  17. You should try pulling your head out of your ass more often.
  18. Weren't the Reds just completely overloaded with young infielders?
  19. That's because you've never torn it up in The Station. Way back when I was an undergrad, I went to B/CS to visit an aggy friend from HS. I picked that weekend because he said there was going to be a huge party. Literally everyone I met there asked me if I was going to go to the party. When the party finally arrived, it turned out to be about 100 dudes standing in a field around a keg of beer.
  20. I saw it and thought of the words of MLB chief Sandy Alderson about 20 years ago when the umpires all resigned in unison over some issue. He said he couldn't decide if it was “a threat to be ignored or an offer to be accepted.”
  21. And that's because I've finally dumped the Cowboys and now claim the Falcons as my favorite team. FML.
  22. 1. Hundreds of Beavers
