Date Title Body
10 hours 40 min ago Praise in public

Constructively criticize in private.

10 hours 43 min ago Fellow St. Mary's alum

I don't recall them having Sunday dinners ( c. '88-''96) but we had a pretty mean softball team. I coached one season and had to tell Brian Griese we didn't have room for him (at least he claimed to be Griese over the phone.) This was before he won the National Championship.

13 hours 10 min ago Recruiting events

Recruiting events were always good for free pizza. That's how I learned about Schlumberger.
That, and the Subway stamp cards saved me hundreds of dollars.
Nowadays, seems like every place has an app with deals.

13 hours 46 min ago Sunday nights

The Church I went to had a BOGO free coupon for Big Macs in the bulletin. I had to get 2 bulletins so my roommate and I could go to McDonalds for Big Macs. 30 years ago a Big Mac cost about $1.50. 2 for that price was a pretty good deal, even back then.

13 hours 55 min ago Civ

Civilization is like Seinfeld for me. I go completely overboard, burn myself out, avoid it for a couple years until it's fresh again and start all over again.

17 hours 57 min ago Title IX

I would prevent MSU from bidding on any federally funded R&D program for a minimum of 3 years and require them to prove that they have instituted policies (and follow them) to prevent this situation from ever happening again before allowing them to be eligible again. I would also require they use their BTN revenues to pay the victims for as long as it takes. If they disagree, I would vote them out of the conference. I want WW I sanctions against Germany leveled against them. This is so much larger than sports. The penalties must strike at the very heart of the university so that the administration can no longer deny the reality of the toxic culture that has festered in East Lansing for decades.

23 hours 35 min ago Spirit

I used to fly 2-3 times per year. I don't consider myself an inexperienced traveler. However, I will admit it has been many years since I flew on Spirit. If they have improved, that is welcomed news. I think I'll let the word of mouth improve before trying them again.

1 day 10 hours ago Prices

My experience is that prices rise when you book with less than 2 weeks to your departure date. The airlines figure you don't have time to comparison shop so they jack up the price. Many routes are dominated by a single carrier anyway. Once the competition is sold out, the dominant carrier can raise the fare.

1 day 10 hours ago Allegiant is the worst

At least according to 60 Minutes. They had a story about them this weekend. 3 and a half times more safety incidents than average. Discount carrier that saves money by flying really old planes and pressuring their pilots not to report mechanical issues. I can't believe anything could be worse than Spirit, but apparently they are.

1 day 18 hours ago DiVincenzo

I was going to correct your spelling of his name until I realized I didn't know how to spell it. Carry on.

1 day 20 hours ago I like how Kansas is Kansas

And to a lesser extent, Chicago is the group for Illinois

2 days 11 hours ago RE: the Hugh Freeze thread

Thanks Ace.

2 days 16 hours ago A tattoo of Ace

Tattooed with the "Cue the Muppets" image

2 days 18 hours ago Sharing Youtubes

    This is one of the few things I know how to do. Below the video, click on the word, "SHARE." A window opens with a choice for "EMBED." Select that. Copy that text. Switch to plain text editor here and paste the text. Switch back to rich text editor and you should see a blank frame with "IFRAME" written in red. Don't worry, it'll appear correctly when you hit SAVE. Voila, you get "Gimme Chocolate" by BABYMETAL. See, it's so easy even I can do it.

3 days 23 hours ago Relax TIMMAAAY

.

4 days 13 hours ago Spurs

It was a little weird for me watching GSW play the Spurs in the first round. That seems like a 2nd or 3rd round series.

4 days 13 hours ago Ignas

If that's true, by the end of his career here we'll be calling him Saint Ignas.

4 days 16 hours ago "Riot season"

That's more of a Northern California season. We haven't had a good riot down here in a couple decades. Unless you consider wandering onto freeways to stop traffic a riot. I place that under traffic season.

4 days 16 hours ago "Sitting on my porch in Ann Arbor"

Coincidentally, that is the title of the lesser known follow-up to "The dock of the bay."

4 days 18 hours ago Swamp People

I spent the morning watching Swamp People on the History Channel. A colleague was just giving away his Swamp People Troy Bobblehead for free so I grabbed it for my collection. I felt obligated to watch a couple episodes. It's very strange how they edit the show. I don't understand why they can't show the Swamp People blowing the heads off of gators with shotguns. They show a clearly staged shot and a clearly dead gator, but they never show the actual scene.

5 days 9 hours ago Bathroom graffiti

Kilroy was here

5 days 10 hours ago Traffic season

It took me an hour to drive 15 miles down to Long Beach this afternoon. If I had to do that every day I would figure out how to move back to Michigan.
I am surprised Speight decided to come out here. I guess he hasn't heard about our frequent Sharknados and various seasons (traffic, fire, flood, quakes.)

5 days 10 hours ago My favorite winter storm

Was that one time it got down to 58 degrees. That was CRAZY! I had to wear a jacket and a long-sleeve shirt.

5 days 13 hours ago Who can ever forget

The great Rory Roundtree

5 days 15 hours ago Not true

Surprise on-side kicks are recovered far more often than when the receiving team expects one.

5 days 15 hours ago Penalties

They should be barred from any federally-funded R&D. Now that would get their attention.

5 days 16 hours ago Michigan partisans

Michigan partisans who are eligible to vote in Michigan had better vote the MSU BoTs out of office if they don't resign first.

5 days 19 hours ago Ibi's turnover

I think I know what play Brian is referring to. Matthews passed to Ibi, the ball deflected off of Ibi's fingers and went out of bounds. IIRC, the defender deflected it first. If I am correct, that TO is definitely on Matthews. There is no way you should expect someone to catch a pass that is deflected 3-4 feet from them.

6 days 17 hours ago I thought that was a given

Niagara Falls region most likely

6 days 18 hours ago King of Kong

I have a friend who WOULD NOT STOP talking about that movie. I finally gave in and watched it. Good flick, as my dad used to say.
