    The gift of a counterfeit jersey

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I’ve bought a few bootleg jerseys from China with varying success.  The color is sometimes a bit off.  Letter spacing/size might be weird.  This past Christmas my wife got me a brown JA Wyoming jersey and it is nearly perfect.  Even has the legit Mitchell & Ness patch.  I get compliments on it all the team, and people don’t believe me that it is a fake.

    How is Stick?  That's something I would be interested in watching but I don't have AppleTv


    Stick is pretty good but kind of cheesy, IMHO.  That said, I’ll continue to watch to see if the kid wins the US amatures.  Not a huge fan of Owen Wilson, but the show definitely has its funny moments.

    Well, cops are too scared to enforce laws these days for one.

     

    But yeah, it should be a states right to make these calls. 


    In Vermont, they passed a law whereby even an officer smelling marijuana during a traffic stop isn’t probably cause to search the vehicle or suspect DUI/conduct a sobriety test.

    That's a risky strategy

    These utility bills are too dang high

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    I really started to notice last summer.  My electric bill is typically higher in the summer time bc I run 5 AC units in my home.  It wasn’t uncommon to get a monthly bill for $225-250.  My bill since then has been at least $325-350 regardless of the season.

    How do/did you name you your pets?

    Cricket came to us already named.  She was on “death row” in a shelter down in South Carolina somewhere, and was brought up to Vermont to a shelter where we adopted her.

     

    It was abundantly clear right away that she had been horribly abused.  It became clear that she was abused by an adult male.  It took probably 6 weeks before Cricket would even look at me.  She would interact with my wife and children, but would tuck tail and hide behind the couch when I came in the room.

     

    I didn’t force her to accept me.  Every day, two or three times a day, I would literally crawl a few feet into the room she was in and let her see me leave a treat for her on the floor.  I progressively made it closer and closer without her fleeing.  Eventually she would let me pet her a little bit and now we’re pals.

     

    She still follows my wife around the house all the time, but I’ll take it.  She’s a sweet old girl.  Just turned 14 years old in March.

    Easter Sucks

    @Johnny Hammersticks at least Easter is an actual holiday that you get off from school/work, that is until schools changed Easter vacation to Spring break.

     

    Unlike fake holidays like St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo or Halloween(which I love).

     

    I think Easter is a very good holiday, but if it isn't your thing, so be it.


    Easter is just a pain in my ass.  I’m not religious at all, so take that out of the equation.  Have to wake up early on a Sunday which stinks.  With the exception of deviled eggs, I don’t like any of the food.  I also am not a big sweets guy.  It also doesn’t help that I live in Vermont and it’s still cold here.  Easter is an all-around loser holiday for me, but I can understand why some really get into it.

     

    I do really enjoy Halloween, but they make a really big deal about it in my town.  Huge parade with a big block party.  We have friends over for trick or treating.  Drink some choice beers while the kids are running around the neighborhood.  Valentines Day is sometimes nice depending on which day it falls.  The wife and I usually plan a small trip or go out to a nice restaurant.  Cinco de Mayo hasn’t really been a “thing” since my younger days.

    I think your post is generally right on the money.

    Except for where you said that brunch sucks. That's simply a wrong opinion. Usually, opinions can't be wrong, but you found an exception to the rule. Congratulations.

    Otherwise, Easter is weird. Amalgamation of Christian ghost story and pagan springtime celebration. Zombie carpenter on the one hand, bunny laying pink eggs full of pennies all over the yard on the other. And what's up with the bare jellybeans in synthetic easter grass? Who likes that? Ditto Peeps, ditto Cadbury Eggs with the bizarre candy yolk. Yuck.

    Third rate weirdness masquerading as a premiere holiday. Load it into a cannon and fire it into the sun.

     


    Come on, man!  No one wants to binge eat at 10am on a Sunday unless you can take a long nap afterwards.  Most overrated meal ever.  👎

    This really should be a public poll Mr.Hammerstix.😏


    Your snide comment is not really in the spirit of Easter.  That’s 10 Our Fathers and 5 Hail Marys for you, old man. 😘
