The Swamp

My friend just gave me his Max login credentials. I need to get to work,

During my one-month career as a postman, I did enjoy my experience driving a step-van with the wheel on the right side. Backing it up to the loading dock, not so much. The veteran guys reverse-drove them fast and parked at the dock perfectly. If the rookies didn’t approximate that, then shit was giv...

In the same boat. Feel for your daughter too. My daughter didn’t like her first job out of school, but found a second one she loves. Good luck!

Also, now more than ever, I stand by saying the Rangers should have included Rempe in a deadline deal just to avoid the type of sideshow a contender really doesn't need. In the game one postgame show, Messier opined that maybe the Rangers should play Rempe in game two. Rangers twitter seems to agre...

I don't know about a broker, but I'd seriously consider a "haggler". I hate negotiating, and therefore am bad at it.

You can find a couple guys in the twitter comments who'll say it's the latter, but bullshit on that. He made the catch with no problem or issue. Interference, my ass.

I don't know if this will be the case since you are buying a Toyota at a BMW dealership, but in my (one) experience, the guy at the dealership kept trying to get me to finance through them when I was making a cash purchase (kids, but had worked multiple projects at the same time, suckas). Like, one...

Night Moves stayed in my car's 8-track player unmoved for a month, when it was a new album.

(This post should probably go in the "Things that make you feel old" thread.)

Just got off the phone with a friend of mine who's been diagnosed with kidney cancer. He started off with permission for us to still use our joke of saying "kidneys" while pointing to our head whenever we both say the same smart thing. (it's based off an Aggie joke) Ignorant question - bu...

Yeah. Well said, Steve.

Im surprised to learn this. The enrollment at my alma mater has nearly doubled since I attended.

Feel like green bell peppers would overwhelm everything else going on in breakfast gravy the same way they overwhelm everything else they get included in. "Foods/flavors that overtake all others" would be a good topic. I don't like when maple syrup is added to anything that isn't meant to...

sancarlos

Apropos of nothing, this conversation is making me want a stuffed pepper for dinner.

sancarlos

And I grew up having some kind of gravy 2-3 times a week probably and I have never seen peppers in it. My grandma needed some fat, some flour and some water and you were goot to go. Me, too. (Some stock added makes it better). I've been lucky in that both my mother and my wife make excellent scratc...

Wow, that’s rough. Hope Harper isn’t too badly affected, Giff.

I think a lot of it for all those clowns is blind ambition. If Trump wins, there’s a non-zero chance that he doesn’t finish his term. Voilá. Someone who couldn’t get elected gets to be president.

Just finished the seventh and last episode of Bodkin, starring Will Forte. Pretty fun watch, though not great or anything.

sancarlos

Surprising!

Anything written in the Swamp, too.

I wear shorts most days and I’m mostly an ankle socks guy. Should I try to be hipper or just lean in to my ingrained boomerdom?

My first day of American History class, when I was a junior in high school, the teacher handed out unlabeled maps of the United States to each of us and told us to identify as many of the 50 states as we could. Not for a grade, but just so he “could see what he was working with”. I got almost all of...

Shit, I hadn't seen that. Seems like a mistake to me.

Yeah, they were much improved in the back half of the season. Seems like the gaffer would get some credit for that.

(I love using these British slang terms.)

I'd be curious for an update once you do. I have a huge problem going back and listening to bands that influenced bands I like because its hard to reorder what came out when in my brain. I can't reverse X sounds like Y to the proper Y sounds like X. Same. Except I have a lot more years of data than...

All true. But, notable because he was loudly braying that he wanted to testify.

Guess this place is as good as any for this...

I don’t think you generally pay sales tax when you buy a gift card, do you?

Jeez, now I have to start liking him?

Am I making this up or did there used to be some sort of ask or rule (I"m talking about back in the 80's or 90's) that credit card companies tried to enforce about not allowing vendors to charge a fee for using a credit card? I dunno. Some gas stations have always charged more if you use credi...

My issue are gift cards that expire. That seems REALLY shady to me. I just booked a flight on Southwest to go check on my aging parents. I almost forgot to use an old SW gift card I had - I was afraid it had expired. Luckily it had no expiration date. But, if they give you credit because a flight g...

Yeah, it's kind of shocking the difference in density of colleges out west if you're used to the east. Without looking it up, I’d guess it somewhat mirrors the density of population. You can drive a long time between towns in the west. My high school sports league included the Grand Junction-area s...

Interesting question...does California not have many small colleges? Would have expected more than 10 D3 schools in the state (12 d2 schools and 9 NAIA schools). Well, “many” is a subjective term, I guess. 26 D1 schools, plus the 31 “small” schools you noted above, plus 140 jucos, covers the bases ...

According to wiki, there are 3,892 high schools in California. You’re not really proving your point.

I’m a hockey fan, and I’ll freely admit that high school hockey is also a niche sport. Nothing wrong with admitting it.

sancarlos

Ron Johnson of the Giants?

There are rich kid schools all over the country. Nobody said there weren’t players coming from all over - that’s a straw man. The point was that lacrosse is not a commonly played sport among the masses except on the eastern seaboard.

for those of you who are going back and forth between services, it's worth exploring how many of them you can already get for free through other avenues we get Max free through our ATT internet (and/or DirecTV), we get the Disney bundle free through our AmEx, and we get Paramount Plus free through ...

Looking forward to the episode about his being part of the crowd gathered to harass the little girls who were integrating the Arkansas school.

What’s your evidence on this?

My wife drives a 2010 Hybrid Ford Escape that we bought new. I drive a 2015 Hybrid Ford Fusion that I got new. No significant issues with either vehicle.
