The Swamp

fk form - i think you just stare down the server and own it. and although the mayo doesn't sound great to me, your horseradish cut with mayo sounds interesting - i know you don't like the premade sauce but there's this one from (the recently absurdly overly priced) Stonewall Kitchen that is i think ...

the middle finger is blurred ("my word...what COULD be happening there??") but not the word shit.

this world is weird.

you know what kind of roll this belongs on tho.... I really like it, too. There are certain sandwich situations where its absence is unacceptable. So I'm thinking this might have been a bad take? I agree. It’s a must in roast beef sandwiches. Have you tried mayonnaise though? Not a big fan. Mustard,...

...Chapter 4? (sorry sorry) Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a reorganization bankruptcy usually filed by businesses. In contrast to chapter 7, the debtor remains in control of business operations and doesn’t sell off all of its assets. Instead, the businesses will attempt to change the terms on debts, such...

it wasn't until i discovered the late-60s Kinks that I got it - their mid/late 70s stuff just seemed a bit lame but the trio of Something Else...Village Green...Arthur - those are fantastic. I was always a huge Who fan but looking objectively, their peak (~1968-73) was so painfully short (the Dwight...

absolutely - Neil Peart actually gave their song that title as a very specific tribute to CFNY

i can't decide whether this BC Lions card is more awesome than the Felix Millan card hiding to the side

long post/quote alert I've been getting this labor-related newsletter from Hamilton Nolan for a while - of late I more than often don't read it because directlinetodepression but he leads with a picture of the Newton strike and as one who grew up in almost an entire extended family of teachers it ha...

MaxWebster

enough time has passed that i don't remember my opinions on Jimy either :D but another thing I'd forgotten - this is from Craig Calcaterra's newsletter today: Most people would probably say that Williams’ top achievement as a manager was winning the 1999 Manager of the Year Award. Personally, I thin...

MaxWebster

yeah - a just question. there's a lot of nostalgia (from me, mostly) for the "grimy" era and it certainly was a lot cheaper to get around. hard to not look through a lens of " back in the day " - good question on whether it's better or not - probably/objectively is. it's just dif...

MaxWebster

this is/was absolutely crazy to watch. i lived in boston from 1987-2013 and exponentially the change downtown was crazy in that last decade especially - but even since then that Seaport district is mind-blowing. my last 4 years i worked in Seaport just over the channel (great old club The Channel in...

i second the book! my late father-in-law got it for me a few years before he died and it took me a while to crack the spine but it's much more interesting than i'd initially given it credit for. good tribute to him on the shelf too

MaxWebster

damn - are you not allowed to have blue cheese in this show? (that's impressive - you can see her pain at #8 lol)

i haven't been in the mood for wings in ages but now i'm ready to crush some

MaxWebster

see what happens when your team goes 13 years without a playoff appearance (oh that's right it has literally never happened before) Yeah I have to find my way back in - i think it's time to get back to college hockey. Arguably the biggest BC vs BU matches in their regular-season history are tonight ...

MaxWebster

seeing my girls go through the application process was a definite shock with the Common App process - it's crazy isn't it? And yeah as a result it seems that applications are dramatically/exponentially up absolutely everywhere. We were way too laissez-faire about "sure apply any/everywhere you ...

MaxWebster

:) don't want to drag this down on all the reasons although the ones you hit upon are obviously on the list - yours is a completely understandable reaction; e.g. i'd be hypocritical/lying if i thought i wouldn't be deep in it if the Sabres were in a playoff spot. honestly trav keeping an eye on the ...

MaxWebster

you guys leaving out the OG Otis...sheesh...

MaxWebster

this is some seriously cool "brushes with..." material I think I have posted about this before. The dad of my best friend growing up played guitar in Otis Redding's road band. The Upsetters...based out of Baltimore. He never spoke about that. In fact growing up I never saw him touch a guit...

MaxWebster

just know that i'm preliminarily extremely envious. i've given instructions that hopefully in about 50yrs my ashes are scattered at one specific turnoff up there - nothing like making it easy on the kids :lol: (always feel free to shoot me a note, i've been there a few times and might remember some ...

MaxWebster

Banff is top 5 spots anywhere for me but if you can make it north to Jasper that's #1.

Just that drive alone (Icefields Pkwy) is 3-4 hours of nonstop holyshit.

MaxWebster

meanwhile i'm getting 3 different NHL alerts from various apps .... about how Utah is ready to make a bid for an expansion team.

"Nothing to see here!"

man i've really developed a hatred for this league

MaxWebster

that is so delightfully cheesy - i love it. Chico.

MaxWebster

Also i'm totally simplifying it i realize as one who really isn't a *football fan* but if there's even an average quarterback behind center for the Bills this year do they go....what, 5-11? Maybe??

MaxWebster

at least 98% chance that was happening. At LEAST. i actually LOLd when that went wide right because *OF COURSE* - the most Losertown™ ending possible - but it only would have delayed the inevitable. Sadness. In my younger days that game would have kept me up all night. Just...going with a wounded pu...

MaxWebster

a. this is my dad [same age-ish] on every video call, only mostly the opposite. we see his forehead and the ceiling.

b. i don't think i understand the shirt. ...? is it a fraction i.e. is that a division line? a table?

MaxWebster

ok - this was amazing

Gunpowder - that's completely awesome. Looking good up there.

We should have a thread of/about Swampers on national (or any) tv.

seeing as I'm completely out of touch, what's the concept here? is every person on the floor a contestant or are there teams?

MaxWebster

actually my kids have known for ages about "that message board" (even may have met 1 or 2...) but only over xmas break for some reason finding out my "handle" wasn't my real name but instead *MaxWebster* sent them into hysterics.

MaxWebster

i don't know if i'm doing it right.

i do enjoy reading about The Garys tho, for real.

thanks bronto and syb - i'll start looking at shit seriously tonight :/

MaxWebster

well...fuck. can i ... just glue it? (is there any chance this is a sump pump issue? we have one on the other side of the basement - the "ugly" side - although i've never seen any water there so i assume it's working...) could the basement floor have cracked underneath? Most likely. And th...

MaxWebster

at the risk of this being a completely idiotic question (i just don't know) ... what could/would be a reason that suddenly this winter in the finished part of our basement i'm getting water coming up from the ground? it's not on the walls but right in the middle of the floor i.e. through the shag (y...

...goddammit... :D (that took me a minute but then I CONSIDERED THE SOURCE ;P) Today's return drive...holy shit. Bad from the start in Oakland and for 10 minutes north of Erie was arguably the worst drive of my life. Total whiteout, couldn't see 4' beyond the car in any direction and there were no t...

just a shout-out to the Penguins and their fans - we had a blast at the game yesterday and ppl were great. Also a special shout out to this Crosby fella for scoring two goals, who has been my daughter's favourite player since she's been aware of hockey. Maybe the locals can corroborate - PPG Arena u...

:D i know - my girls and i had a blast last night hooting it up in the Pittsburgh/enemy territory hotel room. the youngest (Pitt freshman) said "Go Bills" to all the workers wearing Steelers gear at the Pens game :D (all in fun obvs) *extreme local WNY reference warning* so our drive to Pi...

it's always a "fun" crapshoot as to who gets hammered....but yes: it's always Hamburg. :) I still can't believe the localized weather events. I still about the day we had 36 inches of snow in one day on campus, then driving off camopus the next day and a mile away there was one maybe 4 inc...

Syb- ugh. Echoing everyone else in here, just awful - sorry as hell to read all that.
