No. Does that mean I get to wear overalls?

Seems like something some of us on the lower board would do the equivalent of at our jobs.

I'm on my way to my first in-person conference since the pandemic. The conference dress code is "business casual." When I googled that, I saw something about "no jeans." Does that mean no jeans as in "no jeans"? Or does that mean no jeans? In which case, can I give my presentation in what I'll now c...

All Circle K's in the state of Arizona are magnets for the most incredibly seedy clientele. I was pulling up yesterday morning, and out walks this guy with a black eye, bruised face, and grease all over his clothes. He was eating some kind of big danish he just bought or shoplifted inside. I thought...

In my religion, we get take-out food when I can't cook. We have a ramen drive-thru down the street.

It's hard to gain momentum in a game when you can neither shoot nor defend. They're letting the protracted team slump from range affect their effort in other areas. And the unbalanced foul calls are taking them out of their defense entirely. The officials are rewarding the aggressor, not the team wh...

My daughter, 6 years old as of yesterday, was still in bed just now at 7:05 am.

"What do want for breakfast, buggle?" I asked her.

"Stop calling me stupid fucking names," she said.

I don't know whether to be more alarmed at the word itself, or at the completely correct usage.

Now Grubhub and DoorDash deliver to hotels. But the hotel we were at had room service and me and the kids begged to get breakfast in bed but the wife put her foot down. For some reason she hates room service. I think her parents convinced her it was gross to eat in a hotel room because they used to...

That security guard could teach NBA players a few things about boxing out for rebounds.

Buffets are one thing, but what the fuck happened to room service? The Westin in Pittsburgh advised me that room service is discontinued because of the pandemic. I live for room service during conferences. Do Grubhub and stuff like that still not work? I stopped using those delivery services a few y...

Speaking of which, I've had a Topo Chico addiction for a while. Just the water, not the new alcoholic one. My stash is spent from all the guests I've had, and the guys renovating my bathroom haven't been kind to my dwindling stock. The stuff appears in Tucson every once in a while, and I buy as many...

An order of monkey on a stick and a couple drinks and I could usually remember how to stumble back to my house

Do you remember the tall sink and the tight-squeeze urinals?

Longhorned

I did have a scorpion but the high alcohol level was so obvious, I had to stop halfway in. It's okay if they don't clean the carpets because the place is so exotically dark. In the men's room, I noticed that you have to be small enough to use the urinal, but then tall enough to use the sink. I could...

Did you get Monkey on a Stick?

I did not. Do you recommend?

I went to the Kon Tiki. For lunch. The food was really good. WTF? Am I the last person in Tucson to know about this?

My kid 5 year-old read me the riot act and now we've reserved multi-day passes in July. The worst part of it is she'll never want to do anything else after she's experienced Disneyland. We're taking a sleeping car on an overnight train from Tucson to LA, renting a car, and staying at the Disney hote...

I admire your courage. I wouldn’t put ground beef into boiling water for fear that it would totally fall apart and I’d be left with 3000 soggy beef bits floating in fat water. I didn't invent that. It's super common and it works, if by "works" we mean well-formed but gray meatballs, if you can pict...

This afternoon I'm teaching my final class meeting in a department I can't stand. As I walk away from that part of campus for the last time, my heart will sing. Nothing but the department I love from this point forward. I'm going to celebrate with a Slice 'N Ice. I hope they have cherry today.

Longhorned

Never would have thought of par-boiling meatballs. Feels like all that flavor that got infused into the water left the meat. Did you boil them until they were cooked through? I always brown my meatballs in olive oil first so that I lock in and intensify the beef/pork flavor, then simmer them in the...

I'm just pissed off that basically everyone in Tucson still thinks Miller was a cheater who got caught. Most recently, an Uber driver - clearly an Arizona fan - repeated it to me. He tried to defend his view when I went all Socrates on him, and my wife stepped in and vindicated the driver by telling...

All I can do is tell the truth here and let you be the judge of me: Last night I made spaghetti with meatballs, and as an experiment I decided to boil my raw meatballs in the big pot of water first, remove them, and then salt the water and cook the spaghetti in it. After I took the meatballs out of ...

Jesus, if the brain isn't fully formed until 32, I'm starting to worry about all the formation I stunted with all that pot. I thought I was out of the woods with my teenage years behind me. There's probably a lot of wires that fried before they ever connected.

Yeah, where am I going to get a hobby? I half wonder if I'll sleep all day.

It’s amazing how fast they grow change… looks like you are loving being a dad… it’s pretty great….

For me, the thought of retiring is like the thought of having all of my cartilage removed. Seems painful to do and nothing good can come of it. I want to be an extremely aged professor who asks everyone to say that again.

People talk about the legend that's Kurt Cobain, but the tragic early death that shocked the most was to an actor named River Phoenix. In dying young, he was supposed to become the next James Dean. Kurt Cobain was just the Gen-X favorite who surpassed Anthony Kiedis. And the universally recognized g...

Wow nobody here even remembers the lottory. All is impermanent, even on the internet. Please explain. My googling did not explain.

So happy my oldest is giving up soccer this fall and going all in on ballet.

My kid gets a box of it if we're in an Air BnB on vacation. This last trip she realized they aren't actually good.

A memorable half. Who else is defending like that in opening round?

Longhorned

Exactly. As long is the hard-working player taking the minutes isn't the coach's own kid. That's what my dad did when he coached our teams. I mean Jesus Christ.

All great posts above. I think winning and losing is important, and having fun instead of obsessing about winning. The other thing for me is winning and losing with and against competitors directly, instead of just getting judged for how pretty you looked when you did it. Unlike in those girly sport...

Sure, but my wife got our kid into gymnastics classes, and classes for something else called parkour. And our kid loves it. The line is drawn at the border of toxic masculinity, which is a land dominated by ball sports. But even if that were true, and somehow even Steve Kerr and Golden State Warrior...

If you told your wife that having to hold in your farts and pretend not to be interested in male sports was turning you into a lesbian, would she be happy or sad? Unsure. I told my wife today that I wanted to start bringing our kid to games, and that I'd like it if the aunties stopped running inter...

My kid is becoming really aware that there's something off about her dad. While this view may be completely valid from the perspective that I am, after all, Longhorned, it shouldn't pertain to my propensity for watching sports, burping, and spending too much time on the toilet before leaving with a...

My wife came home from the hairdresser's and we talked. She said she thinks my views are abhorrent, but she accepts them. And she insists that I'm welcome and expected by all at this year's Easter Sunday, and that it's not unknown for some extended families to have a straight man in them. My questio...

For sure. Clippers are too good for the Pelicans even without George. With George, they can obviously cause the Suns a ton of pain.

Longhorned

As soon as George went down with the 'rona, the line went from Clippers -6 to EVEN.

Pizza Luna was good, but not so much when they tried to come back. We kept going to them to see if we could help get them over the hump, but last week when they went dark, we went back to Falora and revisited what good pizza is actually like. Unfortunately, my kid hates Falora and my wife hates NYPD...
