Funny you would ask about cruises. We did one cruise 10 years ago, and I said I’d never do another one. Hell is other people. But it was one of those big ones with multi story ship. Now we’re going to go on another one next year - we just signed up. My wife and I and some old friends from Colorado....

Here it is...the dumbest thing you'll read this week... Trump can win as the anti-chaos candidate This creates an opportunity for Trump to seize the mantle as the anti-chaos candidate. His winning message is not to promise “retribution” against those he believes wronged him. It is to tell Americans...

Apologies if I've said this before, but one problem is that there is a huge divide between people who have seen Israel as an underdog and those who have only seen Israel as a bully. I grew up on tales of the Holocaust, the attack on the Munich athletes, the raid on Entebbe, Leon Klinghoffer and the...

Must've been one hell of a 30 hour bender you've been on.

That explains the newly yellow wall in his house.

You should see if you can start May 24. When I started my government job, they had me start of December 31st. There were just a few people in, and none of them felt like working, so they all just hung out with the new guy. They announced we could leave early, either at 1:00 or 3:00, then I got a pa...

That's fantastic, Syb. How long does your severance continue? Are you planning to start a new job right away, or take more time? Severance is a few more weeks, and free COBRA goes until end of May, so I'm looking to start in May, so I don't need to pay COBRA or switch to my wife's plan. I'm going n...

The US has backed a lot of questionable regimes, but there is something about this one that brings in more intensity and hatred. Wonder what that could be. There's no reason to think the intensity and hatred is evidence of anti-Semitism. The US wars on Iraq and Afghanistan were twenty-plus years ag...

Snoop Syby Syb got a jobby job (offer). I'm expecting to accept it, but had final round interviews at a few other places that haven't made a decision yet. I preferred this one, and they offered the top of their salary range, so I can't imagine another offer dissuading me. One might pay bit more, but...

do tell... ended up just having to go to the bank Seems like you just walk in with the check to a branch of your bank and then they give you the cash instead of putting it in the account and then withdrawing.

That explains the jumper at the ceremony. (A student either slipped or jumped and died at the end of the ceremony). Too soon, yes, but I feel like I need to fill the TT-sized void on inappropriate death jokes.

Also, what percentage of students know that song?

I watched The Contestant on Hulu last night. It's a documentary about a game show contestant in Japan, and it's fucking WILD! In 1998, in what seemed like a live variety show, they had this guy living in a tiny windowless apartment, and he couldn't leave until he won $1 million Yen ($8,000) in sweep...

I had the same thought, and my wife yelled from the living room, “ Drake? The guy from Degrassi?” My son thinks he’d pay someone to do it.

We don’t eat a lot of mustard. When we do, it’s always Dijon or German. But, my wife was cleaning the fridge and dragged out some old French’s yellow mustard from the back that we bought for a kids’ party years ago. Turns out it expired in 2013. Guess we’ll throw it out. Where’s your sense of adven...

I just got a 10 minute explanation of this whole beef from my son, complete with lyrics and explanations (though I had to explain to him what a beard is). I was going to make a joke about how nobody was talking about it in here, and then I find this discussion... My son is worried Drake is going to ...

Crystal here, but that's really more Latin and Cajun than Mexican. Crystal is my number #1 by far and I use it on anything up to and including pizza.

Do they know each other? Maybe they could bond over both fathers belonging to a weird online friend group. Ha!

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 ...

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.

I’d rather have it in my fridge than on my food, if that’s what you mean.
