A few rants:
- it's "a case IN point", not "a case & point"
- "once IN a while", not "once and awhile"
- "spit and image", not "spitting image" (though I do respect the puppet show!)

It may be a generational thing; that actually rings quite true from my own childhood experiences.

Also, re: "our things were less sophisticated" - If one tank has a drivetrain that looks like a work of art but it can only run for half a day before breaking down, and the other looks like it was built out of Legos but it runs longer and is easy to fix... calling the first one "better" is A Choice.

There's a whole cult of worshipping German engineering - "oh, the Panther was WAY AWESOME and the Americans and Russians only won because they had so many more tanks."
Which is just fucking stupid on its face. Inseparable from Lost Cause bullshit.

There are several guys who spell their first and last names the same as I do; I've been intermittently receiving email meant for them ever since I got a Hotmail account. All I can say is that one or more of them lead lives far more drama-filled than mine.

Best I can say is: at least it's over. I'm (more or less) okay with losing, but it hurts less when we at least seem to be playing the same game.

Holy crap! He pitched a whole inning without making things 💯 worse!

That's the first time since I can remember that I've said "good play, Treinen"

We need a field goal and a safety just to tie it up here

I'm either too dutiful or too masochistic, take your pick

Damn Barger. Made a spectacular catch AND looked good doing it.
How I hate him.

We've been cracking up this whole series: if you combine Max Muncy's face, Will Klein's beard, and Alejandro Kirk's body, you would have a clone of one of my nephews. He's not here, so whenever Muncy does well we yell "Go Russ!"

I have a bad feeling about this game...

More than an ending, really - in a very real way, the Scouring of the Shire is what the books were all about.

Reddit sort of question, but I'm not a Reddit sort of guy, so...
Any hair product suggestions?:
- Strong hold
- Dry, not sticky/greasy
- but doesn't flake
- Unscented
- Inexpensive

I've been using Moco de Gorila Rockero, but the red dye/strawberry scent aren't really my thing.
