The Swamp

I just ordered six cubic yards of soil mix so I can build a new flower bed in my front yard next week.

Anyone want to come help dig out some sod, spread six yards of soil and then plant a bunch of coneflowers and catmint? I'll buy you a beer.

I bowled next to PBA Tour player Patrick Dombrowski during my practice session today. He's been an off-and-on player on tour for several years but has played a lot more in the last two years. He was runner up in the 2024 USBC Masters. Today, he was bowling just a tad better than me. By a tad better ...

Punters are assholes, too.

Francisco Lindor

So will be in Pittsburgh on June 4th and 5th. Got nothing on the 4th and Houston is in town to play the Pirates. Never been to PNC Park. Any recommendations on seats (any recommendations for getting a great deal/cheap tickets) or spots to hit before the game?

It's a Pirates game. You're going ...

Why? We have a newer one.

Sorry, I thought rass mistakenly locked it when he posted. I’ll re-lock it.

Sabo! The man indeed knows rum. Were you drinking rum at that bar we liked in San Francisco?

I honestly don't remember. We drank at more than a few bars during my travels to San Francisco, but I don't remember any specific rum cocktails. I do regret not ever making it to Smuggler's Cove when I ...

I'm a big fan of rum, regardless of whether it's mixed in a cocktail or served neat. There are definitely plenty of rums that are not best suited for sipping (looking at you, Bacardi), but once you spend some time learning the nuances of the different styles you'll find there are plenty of options ...

My friend sent me the following. He works with a lot of Indians and will ask his co-workers for additional recommendations this coming Monday.

- Pune airport is pretty basic and is a shared civilian/military airport; very serviceable though.

- Taxi to the city proper takes about 20-40 mins ...

favorite spot in Pune (Maharashtra)?? spending next saturday through Wednesday before flying elsewhere in the country

A friend of mine spent about a month in Pune about five years ago. Let me ask him if he has any recommendations.

ETA: My friend wants to know if you've been to India before ...

Alabama - Birmingham Barons, GMAC Bowl
California - Giants, Sharks, Sacramento River Cats
Colorado - Rockies, Broncos
Illinois - Northern Illinois football, Northwestern football
Kansas - Wichita Thunder
Kentucky - Kentucky Derby, UK football
Michigan - Tigers, Lions, Detroit Vipers, Women's ...

Watched hundreds of beavers tonight (Amazon prime). My son loved it was good but not the film of the year.

WTF, is this trailer what the movie is like? Also, I’m sure someone made a parody porno with the same name.

Yes that is what the movie is ...

North Dakota

Levy out before Big Ange.

That should be the case and should have been the case since the purchases with the Bale $, but that isn’t very likely.

There's lots of talk on the Coys subreddit about how they're doing this and that to keep costs low and make the team attractive to buy. One can ...

Put as simply as possible, the back of my ankle, above my heel, hurts. It’s worse if I try to bend the front of my foot up than bend it down.

I, unfortunately, have been dealing with this for about a year. More when I have some time to write it all up. Nothing torn but inflammation and scar ...

This is like watching the Browns.

Except it’s the playoffs.

Horseshit call there. WTF are the defenders supposed to do?

Happy New Year, everyone. Let's hope 2025 isn't as bad as we expect.

I think the GMC crab walk commercial is gonna be right behind the ATT bundle of three ad for those that I’ll currently hate the most from 2024 but never remember

I'm trying to figure out the point of the "crab walk" feature. Why would you need that?

It helps with maneuvering vehicles into ...

Aw yeah!

Works, but that post is wrong on many levels.

Right? At first I thought he had a shattered leg or knee based on how he went down.

Hell of an answer to that hit, too.

That's awesome, Giff. Gotta be a wonderful feeling that you made a profoundly positive impact on a co-worker's life.

Soup Beans.

Never heard them called that and I spent considerable time in Georgia in my youth.

Looked it up... More of an Appalachian thing, apparently.

We had soup beans quite a bit when I was a kid, but my parents made them with butter beans (dried Lima beans) instead. Never heard of pinto ...

I was listening to the game on the radio while driving home from work when the injury happened, and it definitely sounded like some folks were cheering.

Deshaun Watson probably done for the year after a noncontact injury. Reports are he tore his Achilles.

I have Columbus/Indigenous Peope's Day off for the first time in my life, thanks to our new Corporate Overlords (Bruker) who are based in Boston.

Same, except I now work for a government agency where we get something like 13 paid holidays. Just need to get those lazy Finns organized to come up ...

Just get so stoned you say “Go Ducks” instead of “Go Bucks”.

But seriously, fuck Ohio State.

Starting tomorrow, my buddy and his wife are visiting from Seattle. He is originally from Ohio, and is a big Buckeye fan. So for at least one day, I am an Ohio State fan. We will get stoned, get drunk, and watch Ohio State v. Oregon (while the wives visit a local art and wine festival all ...

I think society at large is a long ways from where we ought to be. I know that in some states, right now, trans bashing (especially regarding sports) is a cornerstone of Republican attack advertising.

A lot (I'm going to guess maybe 75 percent) of the anti-Sherrod Brown ads in Ohio have been ...

No. Square Earl isn't a shoo-in for best pro bowler of all time. You can make legitimate arguments for others, including Walter Ray Williams Jr., Pete Weber and the still-active Jason Belmonte. Belmo had a down year last year but if he returns to his typical greatness he'll easily be ...

Congrats, you’re the first person I’ve followed, rass.

ETA: Damn, you run a lot.

Jeez man. That’s a lot.

And you love that car!

I drive my 2014 Honda CRV to work instead of the Accord, mostly because the shop is next to the 10th fairway and we get the occasional stray tee shot in the parking area. I’ve worked here for less than three months and I’ve heard golf balls hit ...

We had a pretty strong line of storms blow through Northeast Ohio Tuesday afternoon, and it produced at least one tornado. Unfortunately, the tornado happened to hit the golf course where I work.

We’re lucky in that it was an F1-category tornado, so the damage wasn’t ridiculous. But it uprooted a ...

I never followed up on my post, but I ended up buying a 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid about a month ago. Used CarGurus.com to locate used Honda Accords, and a dealership about 50 miles away had a used hybrid that was rated a great deal by CarGurus. The car had been on the dealership lot for about 50 days ...

Shirley, we’ve had some spam come up in the last few days. Please do your magic and delete some of the recent accounts.

Grazie.
