Re: College Visits
Do they know each other? Maybe they could bond over both fathers belonging to a weird online friend group. Ha! They are aware of each other and been to parties at each other’s houses, but I don’t think they’ve ever spoken. My son isn’t the most socially adept kid, though he’s made huge strides the ...

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
Remembering the time HIMYM made an anal sex joke to explain why one of its characters wasn't around when the actress went on maternity leave. Probably grandfathered in too. Kinda sorta? If you don’t already know the joke, you couldn’t have any idea it’s about anal sex. I didn’t know the joke until ...

Re: Return of Confessions
I bought Trader Joe's Taco Sauce. It's not great, but a step up from a pouch of taco seasoning mix. It's like they added a pouch of taco seasoning to sloppy joe sauce, but watered down.

Took the Boy to Admitted Student's Day at Binghamton U last weekend, and they timed a protest for when most people would be in the Spine.

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
A major reason teams are so willing to play rookie QBs these days is to get some average QB play at a rookie contract level. By sitting Penix for several years, they are missing out on that benefit.

My mother points out specific chants and signs with antisemitic messages.

Yeah, agreed. What bugs me the most about VAR is that when you slow down footage to a frame by frame viewing, EVERYTHING* looks like a serious foul/infraction. I don't mind freeze framing offsides and handballs, but fouls should mostly be viewed in real time mode. Agree with all of this. I was thin...

They gave TikTok 9 months instead of 6 to be transferred. So surprise, surprise. It won't mess with the election.
