The Swamp

I'm using the same vacuum I bought a week before 9/11 (I suppose this could have stayed in the being old thread edit: oh shit that was the random about random thread I incorrectly posted this in; I suppose all of my posts are related to me getting old)

1. Can we have music for the slideshow
2. I don't understand #7 because my math knowledge peaked in the 4th grade

Tomlin thinks he's a bitch. I'll still take the talent but the guy is a head coach for 15-20 years so he probably knows. Mr d talks in jest but wouldn't be the first at that position https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/source-poor-visit-led-steelers-to-pass-on-christian-gonzalez https://www.dailye...

I'm on E4 of S1.

Anybody seen this?

Just started season 3. I like Pullman and the show overall, but it's pretty disturbing

I'm thankful for an overtime game right now considering we only have 3 late games. They did. On the other hand I'm surprised the Colts didn't get 15 more yard in the previous drive when their receivers helmet got knocked off. Or in the Patriots game when Douglas got tackled and slapped in the face ...

The announcer talking about how great Deion is as a coach with the camera on him and the crowd chanting overrated was a nice touch

How long should I expect this to last?

I'm getting my first grays nearing 49. Not having kids helps apparently.

Zdeno Charra just ran an ultra trail race: 31.83 miles at a 9:41 pace. He did a few training runs on the same hills I run on in Waltham but no meetings yet (yes, I'm stalking him on Strava). The woman who is training him ran 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents: https://beccapizzi.com/ My Zdeno st...

Good news: I figured out why my garbage disposal wasn't working well and I found the missing spout of one of my water bottles.

Damn. I had that game against Syb penciled in as a win in my preseason projections.

I wear shoes for a really long time before getting new ones. So I showed off my brand new sneakers to my neighbor. He said, “Hoka, eh? Kind of adult orthopedic shoes, aren’t they?” I think of them as high-end running shoes. I think of them as shitty running shoes (I haven't really given them a chan...

Did people not hate their jobs and enjoy drinking and beaches before Jimmy Buffett wrote a song? DMB covered A Pirate Looks at Forty at the Gorge this weekend and the song is stuck in my head (for good reasons); might need to listen to more Buffett. It's still in my head (and I need to quit my job ...

EdRomero

In. Piece of cake

EdRomero

Pats should have kicked the field goal when down by 8. At least the offense looked competent with two rookie offensive linemen against that great pass rush. Seeing the improvement of Mac Jones, Hunter Henry, and Bourne is enough to get Matt Patricia fired again. The defense could be really good.

I basically just see Kilgore Trout tweets. My expectations for this app are fading

I really like Saturdays. Yesterday I learned Jim Palmer never had 200 strikeouts in a season.

The parents of children I work with are mostly extremely successful people spending a fortune on local taxes for good schools, a fortune on childcare/lessons/camps/nannys/tutors/etc and their children just spent a week on the top floor of a school with no air conditioning in the most humid/hot weath...

Hooray for soccer. I wimped out of guessing James Whitenfor Wisconsin, but I smartly wimped out on guessing the pictured Patriots running back was Leanord Russell.

EdRomero

Pretty big deal about someone returning to Foxboro this weekend: Matt Patricia!

(and Bledsoe's former backup)

In, and no ACC questions for Davesez!

Vividly remember the 49ers not knowing who they would pick after the trade. What kind of insanity is that. Forget about the exorbitant price... Why make a trade like that and not be convinced that's your guy. Not to mention they had a QB already Especially in that draft. It was Lawrence, drop off, ...

EdRomero

Yes, it's one of the worst trades of all-time. Hard to disagree. The 49ers turned three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and $27 million into a fourth-round pick. And they could have stayed put and taken Justin Field, Mac Jones, or stick with the Galloping Chicken at QB and draft Chase or Par...

I could do it but I wouldn't be around for the Friday reveal, and id be really bad, but I could talk some trash, so I guess that makes me the Jets

I'm at Nantasket Beach right now which is less than an hour away with no annoying Cape Cod traffic. I think I saw that on the map.

Cottage cheese is wonderful you bastards. Put it on an english muggin with some everything bagel mix or a little spicey honey. Also works as a nice dip for spicey, strong flavored chips.

I'm at Nantasket Beach right now which is less than an hour away with no annoying Cape Cod traffic. Blue Hills is a very popular hiking area around there. Come to Mighty Squirrel in Waltham and order two off menu drinks I inadvertently invented on Monday- the Walthhammer and/or the Alan Wrench.

Demon Copperhead is such a great example of the power of fiction. We know how bad poverty, drug use, etc is in the country, but you think it sucks and then move on to the next thing. This book is just gut wrenching as it so vividly shows the effects on a child, and then to think there are so many ou...

I'd just want to walk the dog for a few months after that. So sorry.

Thanks. I'm in. Didn't find any of you but I found Ken Tremendous so I'm good.
