    Haven't been posting here lately but the only one I was surprised by was Cuffe but I suspect he was told there wouldn't be a role for him next season. 

     

    Supposedly we should be hearing leaks about who we're targeting for PG sometime this week. Sounds like we intend to spend a good amount of money on whoever it is. 


    My first born for Dedan Thomas Jr!  Long shot, as I see him staying on the west coast, but a guy can hope.

    Looking like Elijah Moore, Chris Bell, and Kyle Cuffe all are transferring. Surprised about Moore.


    I’m sorry.  The transfer portal rules and NIL are ruining college sports.  With very few exceptions, any player that transfers should have to sit out a season.  
     

    My interest in college basketball right now is at an all time low, and I’ve always been a huge fan.  Probably doesn’t help matters that Syracuse has been absolute dog crap for several years now.

  3. Kenny Lofton.  Early in his career he did a couple seasons in the NY-Penn league with my hometown Auburn Astros.  I was 8 or 9 and the ballpark was only a few blocks from my house, so I used to go watch practice almost every single day.  I guess a lot of the players and coaches just got used to me being there.

     

    Anyway, Kenny would call me out onto the field and let me try to catch fly balls with him during BP.  He also would send me to the Wilson Farms store to get him snacks and soda, and would always give me enough money to buy myself something.  Super nice guy, and back then literally no one knew anything about him.

    Back in the day, we had our local watering hole called "Shooters" and on Sundays, they would have $1 beers and 10 cent wings. We would honestly be in that place for a solid 10 hours watching football on the big screens, pounding beers and devouring at least 600 wings between the 6 of us.

     

    The place eventually went out of business (i wonder why) and that bar is still the barometer (see what i did there?) for every other establishment i've ever been in throughout my entire life.


    We had a college bar that did “drinkin’ on Lincoln” on Tuesday nights.  Five dollars for all you can drink domestic drafts and well drinks all night.  They also had a wing special.  I can’t recall exactly, but I think they were 25 cent wings which was still a great deal at that time.


    I think it was late in my junior year or senior year that NYS passed a law making this illegal.

    Now you did it! LoL... Beef on weck comes w/gravy!  Just scoop it onto the fries🍟!

     

    AND you never had poutine?

     

    In Quebec... Canada... Even Chicago (FWIW, been served there early, must be it's a French town historically)

     

    Especially "avec fromage!"

     

    😋😋

    😈

     

    Some of the best poutine I’ve ever tasted is from a concession stand at a hockey rink up in Highgate, VT.  My son plays games up there a couple times per season, and I always get a double order.

     

    My go to bar food is usually wings, but I also love some onion rings when I’m having a few beers. 🍻

    My mom still has like a very disturbing hatred for her mother in law whose been dead 5 years already.  
     

    Bottom line I don’t think she did much research into what my dad’s family was before.  Some of her feelings are legit but it’s like very unhealthy and disturbing at this point.  


    Interesting.  When you get married you don’t just gain a wife/husband, you gain a whole family.  My mother in law drives my wife crazy.  They fight like cats and dogs, and can only be around each other for a few hours before they start going after each other.

     

    My MIL is kid of a pain in the rear end, and can be really negative sometimes, but she loves me.  Perhaps because she raised 3 girls.  😂

    One summer I was working construction in South Carolina, and it was almost comical! We were putting up an apartment complex and the boss was named Ace. He was rarely there, but he’d be there in his Bronco on Fridays to pay everyone. His Bronco had a perfect space between the front seats to hold some cooler that would hold his Budweiser tall boys as he went four wheeling over the large piles of excavated earth. He seemed to enjoy that as a Friday morning (drunken) ritual. 

     

    After he took a few laps around the site he would call us into the Bronco one at a time for pay day. This was supposedly a HUD project, but Ace paid in cash. There was a bag of cash between his feet, and a great big gun in his lap. The gun was pointed toward the passenger seat. It was clear for even the most ignorant fool there that it was a bad idea to mess with Crazy Ace. 

     

    As the only summer college kid there I was teamed with the only Black guy there, a guy named Peter. He was from the low country and spoke Gullah. We were basically unable to communicate with words. For some reason Peter was the only guy to bring his own tools every day. There was a trailer where you could get anything you needed, but Peter was either not welcome to share things from the trailer, or comfortable even broaching the topic.  I found it to be eye opening and very disturbing.

     

    There was some crazy heat wave and it was over 100 degrees every day for 3 strait weeks. BRUTAL!  Guys were passing out on second floor roofs and falling. Peter was one of the casualties, falling and breaking his arm. I never saw him again, but I did hear that there was no insurance or workman’s comp, so I have to wonder what Ace ever did with him. 

     

    I will say, a summer of construction in blistering weather was enough to make me want to finish school and get a job with air conditioning. 

    I’m sorry.  At what point was Peter asked to expose his bosoms?  No one offered to buy him an appletini?  😏 

  8. She went for one walk around the construction site and got propositioned by like 12 dudes?!  😂 

     

    Is she super attractive?  Was she wearing a bikini and heels?  🤔 

     

    I worked construction for 4 summers doing fireproofing.  Heard a few “cat calls” to girls walking by the site, but never anything close to this.  Weird…

  9. A bit of advice for those who might be pondering marriage.  Make sure you do your research about your potential partner, and also do a deep dive into her family history.  
     

    Mental health, medical, generational trauma, etc.  You’ll be living with much of these factors down the line.  Also, what does your potential mother in law look like?  Genetics are powerful, and that’s probably pretty close to what you’ll be looking at every day for as long as you remain married.  Petty?  Maybe so, but true.  😂

  10. As Dave Chappelle says, “Marriage is a horrible contract that nobody should sign.”

     

    I’ve been married for going on 15 years this June.  Not all sunshine and rainbows, but I’m very glad I have my wife.  So many of my friends have gone through horrible divorces though.  Yuck.

    Congrats.

     

    All i know is that when my nephew was growing up, he would call me "Uncle Booby".........to this day, we still don't know where he got it from or what it even means, but 30 years later, i am still ole "Uncle Booby" or if he's being lazy, it's just "Uncle Boobs".

     

    .........and as a point of reference, i don't have man cans (i know someone's bringing it up)


    That’s funny.  My brother, Ben, jokingly asked my son to call him “Drunkle Ben” one family Thanksgiving.  My son (15) and my daughter (11) still to this day call him that to this day.

    Severance season 1  would have made 10 great half hour episodes but they threw in so much filler it was boring for too long, and then waited so many years to do season 2, I am not going back. I will state i thought "Night agent" season 1 was strong but season 2 was garbage.
