Probably even shorter. And my wife is barely 5’2!!!
Under 5.

I know she is short, but really? Under 5 foot?

1. Happy birthday
2. Your family Facebook posts make me really excited for when both kids are taller than my wife.

Yours,
Mister D

My daughter keeps trying to claim that day. She’s a fraction of an inch shorter, and I don’t think it’s going to happen until my wife starts shrinking.

Congrats! Must be nice to have the decision done and finalized.

The only astronauts I can name come from the Apollo missions/lunar landing era. An astronaut handed me my diploma and gave my HS commencement speech, and I can't remember his name. He was a graduate of our HS. I did remember Ronald McNair because he was a University at Buffalo alum, and they named ...

Just curious, do you respond to emails from Nigerian government officials trying to return your deceased uncle's fortune to you?

I'm sure a lot of this is unavoidable (and don't even know the rules for a match getting moved) but from February 10th to March 10th City is going Saturday -> midweek CL -> Saturday -> midweek -> Saturday -> midweek FA -> Sunday derby -> midweek CL -> Liverpool. That seems like way too much. That's...

We had a dog sled team when I was a kid. Recreational at most (we only had 10 dogs max) though I did the kid and mutt at the Alpo races when they were in Lake Placid. How I have I been here for 19 years and this is the first time I'm hearing this? That's awesome! My parents had a Samoyed when I was...

Not my kids, but some of my son's friends are playing in the hockey State Championship game right now. Game is streaming live from the Prudential Center (NJ Devil's rink) with a professional announcer. and the Devil's arena announcer. Team is going for the three-peat, up 3-2 after 2 periods.

Ivan DeJesus. Just seeing that name, this image popped into my head. Why the fuck do I have such a clear memory of his 1984 baseball card, and I can't remember shit my kids tell me 15 minutes later? It's not like this was a valuable rookie card, he was a mediocre player and it's not a remotely memo...

I don’t get how this age gap works but I’m intrigued. He was in the freshman world history class I had my second year of teaching back in 2000. I’m 47 and he’s 38. I recognized his name from a instagram post and looked him up. Hasn’t really changed besides the aging. This is going to sound stupid, ...

That comic made a huge impression on me. Just blew my mind. I'm sure I saw it on one iteration of the Swamp.

Had a Zoom interview yesterday and I struggled not to crack up at the interviewer several times.

I get it once a year or so. Usually just goes away after a couple weeks, never did anything for it other than contorting in whatever way brings temporary relief. Guy I play tennis with tried everything and eventually had to have surgery. I didn't ask specifics, but he is finally back to playing and ...

I'll wait for someone to acknowledge that we didn't see any of this controversy in the Mother Humping Pro Bowl. Excellent point. JLo can run a full season next year. As difficult a decision to swap champions, I have to say, Ryan has given me (and presumably all of us) leeway or clarifications and c...

And yet, (at least) four justices voted to grant cert. I hate to say this, but Brett Kavanaugh is our only hope. Yeah, he has been surprisingly steadfast to his principles (which are IMO wrong), and doesn't sway when that puts his Opinion against his political leanings. Didn't expect that from him,...

Not to mention, it's an extremely straight forward case with no points of contention or split decisions between Circuits.

Holy shit, the thread of sitcom names erases all the bad caused by the internet. That is amazing stuff. And referring to Boebert as "Granny GrabbinSchwantz" has me dying. Can't wait to tell my father that name.

Pre-college me wants to punch current day me in the balls. I'm confident in 8 out of the 9 Playbills, yet I'm only 50% sure I could name one college coach who coached in the playoffs (I know he's a coach), I'm 99% sure I couldn't name a single correct baseball player, and I have no concept of whethe...

I think the attention paid to this super bowl by girls between the ages of 9 and 12 who live in my house is all we need to know about her level of stardom. Its absolutely unparalleled. I'm pretty sure the ratings jump from "no halftime show" to "Michael Jackson performs live" wa...

That's great. Only thing better would be a reaction of video of Trump watching this running in the corner.

Curious if her crazy beliefs pre-dated the brain cancer. Even worse, she believes she can, as a State Rep, remove federally granted Rights.

For some reason I had the Hawaiian Punch board game. The only thing I remember is that it came with playdough and a mold of a pineapple and a plastic Hawaiian Punch guy. When something happened, you got to use the plastic guy to smash your opponents playdough pineapple.

I'm way late to the party, but I watched Blood Simple last night. For a movie that relies entirely on the camera and music to set the drama, it really holds up. There is almost no dialog and very little plot, but it's compelling. And Frances McDormand was adorable! I agree with Shirley on M. Emmet W...

Bojangles butter biscuits, by themselves, are a roughly a billion times better than anything ChikFilA has. This is my recollection, but it's been 30+ years. As to Citgo's point, I've found service in the South, particularly metro-Atlanta to be shockingly abysmal, so that could make Chik-fil-a stand...

Yeah, I was going to ask why Jesus was unleashing the 737s of War. And it looks like Jesus' face was restored by the woman in Spain who retouched the famous painting.

It's been years, but reading his MMQB column used to be how I started my week. And FMcB was always a little too mean (Grant Wahl was of course right) but maybe that's why it was funny.

I completely forgot about him!

Welp, my comfort bar, the place we’ve been going with the kids with some regularity for almost 10 years, where I know almost everyone, where both girls now work, is finally conceding to the post-COVID swoon and closing at the end of next month.

Looked at the roster for the team my daughter played today and saw a girl with the last name “Maga.” I I think I would have had my name legally changed by 2017. Imagine having your kid wearing jackets/warmups with that name on it?
