Capitalism sucks. Market socialism rules.

Known to post about football, beer, flags, boardgames, rugby, dad shit, politics, lacrosse, and maps.


I make lots of typos and won't apologize for it.
Time for round 2. Let's do this.

Jame. Franklin has been spotted in a suburban Baltimore public library. Clearly this means he's interested in the (not open)Towson job.

I didn't win the neighborhood costume contest. Multiple people have told me I was robbed.

They're all fucking right.

I think it's great that our daycare talks about all sorts of things. Like Jewish holidays for example.

I think it's less great that this little shofar came home from day care as part of the Rosh Hashana lesson. Thing is turbo annoying.

Like in field lacrosse there's usually a little painted square on the ground by the scorers table that is the penalty box. Players kneel when they're in it. Not sure if by rule or tradition. But this, and the whole ice hockey set up, was my frame of reference.

Goddamnit Lowes. You've done it again

This shit is so dumb. It's been 5 fucking years. And I know for a fact he doesn't say this shit in public. But nope online gotta virtue signal to other shitheads.

Has this shown up in anyone else's mailbox recently? Addressed to "current resident" so guessing mass mail campaign, which goddamn how expensive has that gotta be?

Ok Lowe's. You've got my attention.

Kiddo 1 turns 5 in Oct. We're very worried about body image stuff with her since she's pretty big. I've got tons of sympathy there.

However her seeing people dressed in whatever clothing has never been an issue at all.

You'll never guess what this is in reference to.

These popped up in some North Baltimore neighborhoods to fight a new apartment development.

On the site of a decades long vacant mall next to existing light rail tracks. They'd rather let the building rot then build housing.

I'm an enigma who cannot be defined.

Talking to kiddo 1 about some art her and a friend did during a play date earlier:
"What's your picture of?"
"A rainbow pond."
"And what is [friend]'s picture of?"
"A horse pooping"

Look. Getting changing tables into way more men's rooms is awesome. But we need to push the frontier further. These should be everywhere.

After attending the first @splitzoneduo.com live show nearly 2 years ago I thought I'd immediately lost the coozies from it. Guess I haven't worn these shorts since that night, cuz look what I just pulled from the back pocket

I'm a big guy. Like very big. Huge gut, butt, thighs. I'm mostly comfortable in what I wear, but sports coats/jackets/blazers I hate how they look on me. I tend to opt for sweaters or quarter zips instead of I can. Any tips on what to look for in a jacket that'll work for my prodigious frame?

Felt like the year to fully support PTKU. Hopefully my fellow Hokies can pick up my slack in making sure we beat UVA.

PA apparently so desperate for the suburban Baltimore tourism dollars they're flying banners over the area. Don't know that I've seen this before.
March 15, 2025 at 6:06 PM
Didn't believe it was real, but apparently it's an exurb of Buffalo? Who let this happen.
March 7, 2025 at 12:35 PM
Just bros supporting bros out here.

Funny you should mention them.

Not saying it makes the companies any better. Just that the names are better.
February 4, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Gonna become a RETVRN guy, but for naming companies like this.
February 4, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Baltimore too, but it's not human propulsion.
