Every year, buying strawberries at the supermarket is like two or three great dates in a relationship you know is doomed to fizzle.

Every. Damned. Year.

Might the Preakness and Belmont get to outvote the Derby?

So now they need to pair Cheese Pup with a cocker spaniel, prepare another perfect mozzarella stick and set up Lady and the Tramp

I agree about “Born in the USA” and will add “Glory Days.”

And unfortunately the Cubs’ last of the day.

Ask? In my experience the tone is usually more imperative.

Are you saying you’d turn down a perfectly good Whopper and fries?

100,000 eggs were stolen from a trailer in Pennsylvania, police say | CNN The theft of approximately 100,000 eggs from the back of a distribution trailer in central Pennsylvania is under investigation, authorities say.

Oh great, now we have to worry about hot eggs

After a couple of years, though, the comments evolved. The insults got overwhelmed by conversation about what a smart, funny and awesome Latin teacher Tim Russell is. So, yay awesomeness.

A ray of hope for the cybersphere. The video clip in my first reply, from Jeopardy! 20 years ago today, was later placed on YouTube as a snarkpost. At first the majority of comments reflected that: either flaming Tim as a dork or calling Alex a diva who couldn’t stand to be upstaged. 1/2

Glad your sons are safe. I may be restating the obvious, but that is a seriously scary situation for so many millions.

Then you never spent the night in the same room with Hoss Catwright, the most enigmatic feline I ever

I got two copies of his 2003 historical novel “The Hornet’s Nest“ autographed (in a line with hundreds of others). I kept a copy and gave one to my dad, an admirer who is also 100 this year. Not a literary classic, but tells more about the dynamics of the Revolutionary War than any history text.

More directly to your question, though, I think a longer regular season would mainly appeal to baseball purists, but especially toward the end of the season would be a huge drag on attendance and viewership for the teams with no chance to get to the Series. And there would be lots more of those.

I think this is a hazardous idea but not for the obvious reasons. With a regular season that long, some marketing Einstein is bound to follow the NBA’s lead and turn June into some kind of pointless MLB Cup tournament.

News media must stand up against Trump’s bullying lawsuits — Chicago Sun-Times ABC News and parent company Disney caved in a lawsuit even though they were on firm legal ground. They should have defended journalist George Stephanopoulos but corporate greed likely got in the way.

Interesting how the corporate-opened broadcast giant ABC trembles and caves in response to a no-content lawsuit from You Know Who, while the non-profit Chicago Sun-Times calls for news media to show some backbone.

I am picturing a kid in 1995 who was struck with intense inspiration hearing this song, then learned to draw and spent decades developing a cartoon style for the specific, focused purpose of posting this joke on the internet. Kudos.

Interestingly, this came right below this post in my Bluesky feed.

Oh, what a world, what a world!

Any Joe Cocker song with Leon Russell in the band

What does it say that my background image is one of the things I love most about the Chicago area, and simultaneously the last thing most people associate with Chicago?
(Yay, first post)

Just like Bluto, our Symptom-in-Chief gets off on what he can get away with. The rest of the frat is along for the ride.
