I'm still occasionally coughing and wheezing because my dumb dog made me go on an unscheduled run in the freezing cold.

I paid a whole dollar to get a Sling day pass so I could watch the Iron Bowl and so far I am NOT getting my money's worth.

The challenge for the makers of French onion dip is to make it taste delicious while also not making your breath smell like ass

I have an above average sense of smell… and sometimes it’s a curse. My neighbors just had some guests leave and o am 100% sure that one of them wears the same deodorant as my dad. It’s all I can smell.

The Iron Bowl not being on over the air TV is perhaps Trump's biggest failure as president.

I was a little chilly in my house so I put on a shirt, sweatpants and slippers. When I came out of the bedroom Slugger was barking. I heard some noise like someone was on a phone so I thought it might be the Amazon package I'm expecting. I cracked the door...

I should be watching more Avs games. Should I pay $19.95 a month for Altitude+??

I am 41 years old, and have owned two cars. Both Subaru Legacies (which are apparently discontinued because no one wants a sedan anymore despite the fact they are the most sensible kind of car?)
A 1998 and a 2009. I bought both when they were 5 years old. The latest one has been paid off for years.

Hmmm ok I will do this
Introduce yourself with 5 cars you owned
91 Honda Accord
91 BMW 750i
84 Mazda RX-7
90 Volvo 740 Turbo
97 Ford Ranger
I think this sums up the breadth of my experiences about as good as I can do it considering I've had 19 total

I usually have high hopes for the Buffaloes, but this season sucked and I'm glad it's over. I don't want to lose Sanders as coach (nor do I think it's possible unless he agrees to sacrifice a ton of money!) but significant changes need to be made to the coaching staff.

There's so much wrong with this, where would you even start? I genuinely like Pillsbury crescent rolls. Not everyone is going to make home made yeast rolls for Thanksgiving like my mom does. That's fine...
But crescent rolls shouldn't be the most appetizing thing on the table. They just shouldn't!

I'm starting to think that Prime Time needs to either:
Become HC in name only and leave the real work of coaching to a talented up and coming assistant
OR
Start actually doing the work of a coach, visit prospects, work the margins and fill the roster outside of the top stars he can get

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" wasn't "havoc" in just the modern sense of chaos, it was a particular order that was understood as heinous even in Shakespeare's day, authorization after battle was over to slaughter and pillage, both debilitated enemies and noncombatants, without restraint.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

My dad says that Lee Child’s son is taking over for his dad and he’s nowhere near as good a writer so he may need a new series. I was thinking I’d suggest Raymond Chandler, or Mike Hammer if you’d prefer not to think too much
