My kids are big coaster fans so we hit Hershey and Great Adventure every summer. Is it worth going there before it closes? It’s a little more than an hour from where I am.

No. It’s an absolute shithole.
Dirty, poorly staffed by sketchy people or teens who give no fucks at all, broken rides ...

They have implemented a chaperone policy which will (mostly) eliminate my issue with the place. My experience was that a group of teenagers would just bum-rush a line and cut and the staff did nothing about it. Same group mentality of teens and their ATVs and dirt bikes riding through cities ...

That's where I got my first COVID vaccine.

I'll try to be as diplomatic as possible and say that the patrons made the amusement park a pretty not fun place to visit.

The thing about those runs behind is that it takes a guy with a huge pain threshold to be effective. One of the USMNT's issues is that their wide players tuck in too often, assuming the outside backs are going to make that flanking run. That's asking a lot and the midfield needs to be much more ...

How'd you guys do? I think I got 16 or 16.5.

That was fun. I did well, but missed a couple because I'm a goalie and some of that subtle stuff in the first 5 or so questions was a little tricky. It was a little difficult on a few given the lack of ...

Wrexham about to be promoted to the Championship, lead Charlton 3-0

Any time you do something for the only time in 160 years that’s impressive. Good thing Ryan Reynolds has that tequila and cell phone money because shit’s about to get really real with their wage bill and most Championship ...

Anyone in on Your Friends and Neighbours?

I like it, but I don't think the writing is quite good enough, and there's a Checkov's gun that's as obvious as the sky is blue.

Its good enough to keep watching but I'm not sure I'd say that if it weren't be carried by Peet and Hamm. Which are two ...

We are definitely in on it. I talked about it earlier because you get to see Olivia Munn nekkid.

Ditto on the produce. It's kind of the same deal across the board with Organic.

Right? I thought it was all an AI experiment until my wife said it was real.

Dudes an asshole? You act like you know the guy. The lady is probably in over her head but good for her. Someones got to give you a shot. I'm sure she'll be better at it in 2035 same as you over the last 10 years. We'll wait on your client list at age 24. No borrowing cred from your employer ...

Not really taking a side in this discussion, but... How many states are in a position to tell the Federal govt and its vast resources to go fuck itself?

California? Maybe?

He is 73, she is 24.

I don't really know where to put this, but... The Belichick stuff with his girlfriend is... It's fucking weird, man. I was watching CBS Sunday Morning, as you do, and they had this lengthy profile. At one point, they show how involved she is during the interview, cutting off certain topics and ...

I'm not sure the group that massacred the scars was abby's specific squad, as was posited by NLFC earlier

You're using squad here is confusing... I'm saying the WLF, somehow affiliated with a larger organization, killed the religious hammer people. Scarry said wolves were hunting them ...

While I don't feel like actually researching an answer, I feel like there was an overall backlash against the Joe Rogan's of the world that were pushing borderline anti-vaxx theories while simultaneously somewhat backing what had become pretty well established bullshit "cures" or "treatments" for ...

My wife is on it for "legit" health reasons. I have no real issue with folks that are using it as a means to lose weight, HOWEVAH...

That helps with drainage too, right? It holds enough in to help out on a daily basis in addition to normal watering, but lets a lot of the overflow or excess for too heavy a rain get through without drowning.

That's what YouTube told me, in the aggregate. I had to watch a bunch of videos ...

I was struck by how at least half of Abby's WLF crew seemed very torn about what was happening to Joel. Not super torn, because I don't recall any of them ever saying "stop!" But they had a range of emotions that I interpreted as unease-->anxiety of what was happening. Factoring in this group spent ...

I'm not sure I believe Amazon was ever going to list tariff prices. I think there was a rumor and because this administration is run by a bunch of fucking hot-headed morons, they jumped the gun and started proactively latching on to this so they could, once again, get everyone distracted.

Since the thread has "(spoilers)" in the title...do we have to put stuff in the spoiler tag?

Anyways...I'm hoping at some point we get an explanation about the group with the weird facial scars.

I dunno. Last week I cycled through doing it to be respectful to doing it because it was amusing ...

Ok, I agree with Dave, it seems pretty silly by Tuesday to be spoiler tagging everything.

1) Did anyone else find the proposed number for the assassination posse to be weirdly large? Like, a Seal Team is usually 16 members, then divided into two, sometimes four, different squads. I was totally with ...

I'm sure all of you guys are all over this, but if you were like me:

They do a pretty chunky after-show recap. The show isn't all that complicated, so the recap does little more than solidify what you probably already knew, but we still found it somewhat useful.

Just to add:

1) I never really liked Deion as a pro and I did not like the way he treated the existing rostered players when he showed up in Boulder. I'm by no means a Deion apologist, far from it.

2) Mel Kiper is fucking moron that says easily disprovable shit EVERY YEAR and yet we've been ...

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying the 5th round for a guy who helped turn a moribund program into at least respectable and led the entire college football landscape in passing efficiency, playing decent to high-level competition all year.

I do not buy that Deion had anything to do with this drop. Deion ...

Is there another non-conspiracy option besides “this kid is such a dick, we can’t have him as a non-starter in the QB room”?

You’ve got it. That and, “we hate his father, and don’t want his influence.”
