I like going to see baseball games. The Chicago Dogs are basically down the block. It's baseball methadone, but that's all right.

Which they have made easier by broadcasting on a service I do not get and haven't been interested in figuring out how to acquire. (See also: Blackhawks, Bulls.)

a man with a beard says " now that 's a name i 've not heard in a long time . Alt: Obi-Wan says "now that 's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."

Oh, yeah, I'm much more likely to go "Basemballs?"

YES. Why do insist on remaining a fan of this team that doesn't seem to like me at all?

Screenshot of Chicago Tribune, with the headline "Column: Jason Benetti's new gig as voice of 'Sunday Night Baseball' yet another blemish for White Sox" and the blurb "It's safe to say letting Jason Benetti leave the White Sox TV booth in 2024 was the organization's biggest mistake since letting Harry Caray depart for WGN-Ch. 9 and the Cubs in 1982."

Was very tempted to tell someone at work "hey, remember your suggestion on how to tighten up [document]? Well, it told the Air Force to use overwhelming force on an elementary school, so you'll forgive me if I continue to be skeptical."

I mean, "looking under rocks" is literally how one finds oil, so, good on them.

I'm very pleased I didn't learn my lesson from Senator Breaks Man's Arm, and smashed that "sound on" button.

The excommunication edging is killing me.

Ah, well: nevertheless.

Well, that was fun for longer than it had any right to be.

Frick.

I would simply set a trap for CJ Cox with punji sticks.

Ooooh, I forgot how fun the Welsh-Ryan Crash Zoom-Out is

One of the few remaining opportunities to shout it:

ANDIAMO, MARTINELLI

Once again, I am begging you, do not perceive us.

dear fucking god people need to hang for this

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

No idea what possessed me to read the content warning and go "well, I guess I'll just click this lil' button here..."

I for some reason thought I'd be ok with that Marine video, and WOW, NOPE. Don't like that sound AT ALL.

Tom loved a good story. He'd let people talk for absolutely ever, and was a great listener.

The two of them were great together and thought the world of each other.

There's more to them than that, but I didn't realize that other people had grandfathers who *weren't* besties for a while.

This is probably overly hagiographic, but they were both decent guys who just wanted to be friends with people. I'm not sure Gus was happier than when he'd annoy his boss by making a sale that wouldn't pay dividends for the company for a decade, but would eventually.

My mom's dad was a salesman (Binks industrial sprayers etc.) who had that started-in-the-50's salesman superpower that eventually got perverted into The Worst Tech/Sales Bros You Ever Met.

Gus just wanted to get [Industrial Concern?] the correct [Paint Howitzer?] at an "Ugh" To Both Parties Price.
