My mom has one stored away in her closet. I really need to claim that thing at some point. It's probably way too small for me since the original owner (her uncle) was almost a foot shorter than me. But hey, it would still be a cool item to have on a wall or something.

I never liked it from the start when it was only one team, but the three team lottery is a complete travesty. Every year they've done it, there's been at least one big jump in the lottery order. Hell, the Rags have done it now two years in a row. The teams that desperately need the elite picks are being leapfrogged each year. It will be fun to hear all of the "it's fixed" talk fire up after this one because right as they're in a mini-rebuild, the Rags are handed two elite prospects.

There's a bit of a Dana Carvey look there.

My guess is that someone dropped a flaming rag into her bud light and she didn't have time to stop and think before getting rid of it. I can't count the number of times that's happened to me.

I don't know exactly how this talk with the media played out, but did Marcel ask for specific examples? If you have the chance to ask that follow-up, you should be doing it face to face instead of on twitter. Maybe he did, I don't know.

I was down the street from a gas line explosion a year or two ago that leveled an entire building. I can't even imagine what it was like for anyone within a visible distance of this explosion. Those videos are downright chilling.

I saw an odd one this weekend. An elderly woman returned to her car in the handicap spot. After moving stuff into her car, she looked for where the cart area was, saw it, then decided to wheel her cart over and leave it in the middle of a large area intended for unloading of vans with wheel chair ramps built in. The odd part, the spot she chose was actually further away than the cart area. I'm not really sure what the thought process was there.

That's not exactly new. Most of the Bills' o-line were wearing those things 30 years ago.

Ever post on TSW? We can count that as one word, right?

I'm not so sure the carriers themselves ever look at the names. That would need to be filtered out before it even gets to them. Yours did remind me of one thing that drives me mad. My neighborhood has a central mail kiosk. For whatever reason, if there is ever mail for an address that doesn't exist, my mailbox winds up being the dumping ground for it. Whether that's a sorting issue or a lazy carrier, I don't know.

49? I would have guessed that he was in his early 20s when he started out on Mythbusters.

This kind of thing is a fact of life each year at Christmas time. I'm amazed that people are just figuring it out now.

At least they brought it to you. In my neighborhood when people get mail for other houses, they like to post on facebook and ask where they can bring it. If only there was a handy number system on each piece of mail to tell you where the houses are...

Has it really been 25 years already?

Each time I see someone mention OA, I just assume it's about the green lanterns.

I search until I get the cart where the front wheel continuously rotates as I'm pushing it.

If you’re looking for a good alignment, you must be searching for a long time.

This reminds me of probably the funniest thing I've ever seen at a grocery store earlier this year. A rather large woman was walking her cart over, but as she got one aisle away from the corral, she decided to give it that long distance push and hope for the best. But just like all shopping carts, it immediately started swerving to the side. So she tried to run after it to stop it from hitting a car. She didn't even make it half way before it slammed into a car. I had to duck back into my car to hide the laughter.

1. Wheel cart to car. 2. Turn on car. 3. Load groceries into car. 4. Wheel cart with car to corral. 5. Bring kid back to car. Multiple kids complicate that a bit, but there are definitely ways to avoid leaving the cart at the spot. Sure, it takes a little extra work, but isn't that the definition of kids?

I settled down on a theme I'm happy with. The problem is that I need a third poster. I'd put this one in the center: Then to one side this: None of the rest work though.

This one is tough. I don't know if I could throw together a list and there's plenty of good stuff in here already. Scrolling through random posters online, I do have to say that the one from The 40 Year Old Virgin is pretty hilarious.

I do t know a thing about this story, but after reading the second link... wow, that took an unexpected turn

Who is he flipping off?

only six teams really can though right now. I get the sneaking suspicion that there’s more to come around the sports world. While this may in fact be unprecedented, everything we’ve seen in the past three months has been as well. And we’re not coming out of those woods anytime soon.
