As a lifelong Cubs fan, the only thing that pisses me off about this is the fact that that is not what the L flag looks like. If they wanted to troll, they could have at least used a blue flag with a white L.
Being a “rabid” Chicago Cubs fan since 1960, this photo REALLY pissed me off. Yeah, I know it’s only a game, but fellow Cubs fans will understand why I’m pissed. After winning the NLDS over the Cubs, Brewers players on the field mocked the Cubs “flying the W” after a win. What did the Brewers do?

The other day while administering the Running Digits subtest of the WAIS-5, I had an examine tell me that I did a really good job of not indicating when the string of numbers was about to end.
Probably the best compliment I've received in a long time!

Finally brought home the boxes of old junk that have been in my parents basement since I moved out 20+ years ago. Found this little reminder that I could actually play soccer a little bit back in the day. 1998 3v3 Champion for our age group!!

Someone who bet on PCA to steal 40+ bags this year might ask "at what point is he safe at 2nd and out advancing to 3rd?"

I don't hate these 5:00 am baseball games. Getting up early and watching to start my day. Knowing the result before I even start working. Those things are great.
I probably would enjoy it more if my team won one of the games though...

I still sometimes refer to the Florida Marlins and Anaheim Angels. I'm gonna keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico...
Donald Trump will sign many executive orders today — including an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

My wife is appalled by the fact that, according to my "Amazon Delivered", my most played song this year was played 8 times.
Apparently listening to a wide variety of things is abnormal and I'm supposed to listen to the same 20 songs over and over for months at a time until I get sick of them?

I'm aware that I'm old... But I don't think I've ever felt as old as I did tonight when the kid bagging my groceries told me to "have a skibidi day."

And so begins my favorite Thanksgiving tradition... Getting drunk and watching a bunch of hockey the night before.
On the docket tonight: shots of fernet and this tasty fruit punch sour from Young Blood.
