  1. He or she is living their best life When someone starts out a conversation, "You probably don't know this" but yada yada yada........ to me there's hidden passive aggressiveness there
  2. What was the deal with the Reds hat on that one guy with the Steve Young Jersey. I mean know it’s the same color but still…
  3. Doug Rugrats Scooby Doo Dennis the Menace Casper Babar Garfield Peanuts Theres The Simpsons as well but that was when I was more middle school age
  4. It isn’t a coincidence the Yanks haven’t won or been to a World Series since George died.
  5. I recall and this has to be 20 years ago already (wow) the subject of that topic came up on his show. He made a joke there should just be a separate bathroom with a big question mark for transgender people. It got laughs from Artie and the crew Time has changed
  6. Is there any sort of fear with you people with the disorder get pathologized? Thats one part of mental health that bothers me. People are just treated as labels and all their “quirks” are because of such and such.
  7. This. Although I like the phrase different more than disease per say. I cannot tell you how many times I got made fun of growing up for not speaking. In front of whole classes as well and in family parties. But really to me I make the same comparison as somebody with a broken leg being made fun of because they can't run fast. People just wouldn't do that. Internalizing a lot of that over the years turned me into a bitter, jaded person.
  8. My dad and uncle were diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I just tended to think of them as moody at times more than anything growing up. The one time he had an episode that reminds me a little of what you talk about is when he impulsively bought a new car which he found out was like a bad fit for him weeks later and he wound up turning it in. At the time I didnt really think much of at all... I'm a very sort of people are people kind of person and if you're not doing something to harm someone else it's more or less whatever. My mom's cousin I am told has bipolar. This came about when I was at a wedding with him and he said some things like really inappropriate to me like out of the blue. It totally shocked me as the image I had of him was like a sort of jolly loves life kind of fellow. I just attributed it to him being really drunk. But when I asked someone what the hell was that about I'm told his daughter has bipolar and he most likely does as well. I imagine like autism though it's kind of a spectrum disorder in how severe you have it? I got officially diagnosed with autism last year. While no one else in the family was diagnosed officially a fair amount of relatives have similar traits to me where I never really stood out so to speak.
  9. I can understand people change and evolve as they get older. But he really did a 180 to make me sorta go what a fake with certain things..... Like for example for years he would obsess and beat up Rosie O'Donnell on his show where I thought he would go over the line sometimes. And now they are like best friends. He spent like 30 years beating up and hating on Kathie Lee Gifford and now he says this is because she is everything he isn't. Pathetic
  10. Last night I was watching when Crazzie Cabbie fought Stuttering John from 2002 in Atlantic City. The whole thing was a laugh riot. Bettlejuice as well coming out in the ring with Don King. I was never a big fan but I would listen to him occasionally in the Artie Lange days and knew all the players and wack packers on his show. But since he went to satellite radio, became pretty pc, and seems like more of an entertainment reporter today I lost interest. How about you?
  11. I saw a bowling alley I went too quite a bit growing up closed recently. While I hadnt been there for years that did make me feel a little sad. In middle school we had a club in school where we'd go to the lanes after school like twice am month or something like that. Fun times. We used to even have other kids birthday parties at the lanes sometimes. Bowl, play arcade games, and watch MTV. Back at the age well before teenagers lose their innocence. It's a hobby I wouldn't mind trying to take up again someday. I have heard though Buffalo is/was a big bowling town with a number of alleys?
  12. Feel this is a song every kid of the 90s danced to at last once including me
  13. I would have held onto Verlander but am all right with the other moves. Tbh though I know nothing about the prospects to have an opinion on them. Cohen initially said he would take 3-5 years to make the team into a winner. These last moves tell me he’s throwing in the towel for this year and well next year. If he wants to start a more youth centered movement I’m okay with that. But have the balls to tell that to the fanbase. With The Wilpons I at least know where they were coming from even if I wasn’t a fan. Same deal with Yankee fans with George. He was out in the open with his feelings. Anywho that’s the angle I was coming from with not trusting him quote
  14. @Gugny The scene where Horowitz is repairing the stereo
  15. Horowitz you're talking about? The only other movie I recall him being in was Author! Author! when he was a kid with Al Pacino. He played I think Al's son in the movie. Was an okay movie. I think its largely unknown outside of Pacino fans. But yeah that Horowitz character is definitely a very memorable one to me. While I have zero chance of ever crossing his path in business, I can see myself going all Chris Farley on him on a conference call. You remember when all the prison guards had to detain you? 😅
  16. @ExWNYer @Gugny @SinceThe70s Wow. Just an epic suck job by this team. Getting swept by one of the record wise worst teams in major league history. In this order walk off balk, 4-0, and 9-2. I know we have an owner now willing to spend moolah and eat it if necessary but I've lost all faith in him for the time being.
  17. Who says you have to be Taylor Swift or even Josh Allen in the entertainment or sports world to have an interesting story? These two for me: Sean Rooney- was a state champ basketball player under Bob Hurley at St Anthony’s. But he’s more known or semi known to the world as Bettlejuices manager from the Howard Stern show. He was the guy that discovered him. Too bad he died in jail 😢 Eric Gurry- was Mighty Mouse or Horowitz in the old Sean Penn movie Bad Boys. But today he is a venture capitalist with an Ivy League education. I still wouldn’t be able to look at without thinking of that radio package that blew off Vikings ear or that big blonde guy in that movie
  18. When Andy was in college he had a show called Uncle Andy’s Funhouse or Playhouse. Can’t remember but he did think of Andy as an influence RIP
  19. Bernie Kosar Over 2 decades removed from the rivalry has made me appreciate Dan Marino more as well
  20. I think there’s a chance Verlander gets traded to the Reds if they are willing to pick up his contract. Makes all the sense in the world for them since their fighting for the division and have overachieved https://blogredmachine.com/posts/reds-rumors-rival-executive-sleeper-team-ny-mets-justin-verlander Your bit about Colon made me think of Rich Garces. Growing up I thought they looked exactly alike and would even get them confused. Seems Rich is involved with the Connecticut Mets. I’m not sure if they have any affiliation with the NY team at all https://ctmetsbaseball.com/about-us/
  21. 1990s. Economy was strong and the US had no government debt by the end of it compared to today. A good time for movies, music, and sports in general. Society wasn’t as PC back then and or as glued into technology.
  22. Either if it’s at where you work or with a loved one you might be looking after or caring for. I work in a senior care facility. As a business office assistant but am involved in several aspects of administration. Not work for everyone
  23. Matt Stevens. He made a key play in the Bills win in 1996 against the Eagles deflecting a pass late to Irving Fryer. That game is an underrated Bills classic. The last time I believe the team won a game in Philly
