I guess this is the new begging. Maybe one step up from a cardboard sign saying "Anything helps, God bless."

Now I'm waiting for someone to run a marathon wearing those.

I always love it, but still haven't had a fresh hop beer that's blown me away this year.

Came across an IPA by Pike Brewing at Costco last week and figured it was worth a shot. I don't think I've bought a Pike beer in a decade. I've got to say it was pretty good: Space Needle West Coast...

I'm definitely not surprised by this:

If it doesn't we now know who to blame.

Seriously? I would have assumed most resorts stay open until at least mid-April in a typical year.

I know everyone thinks Keystone sucks, but I'll admit a soft spot for that mountain. I think the groomers on the frontside are pretty fun. That said I doubt we'd spend more than one day there and...

Yeah, I actually don't have an Epic Pass this season, but one of my friends does so that sort of locks us in. We'll probably stay somewhere like Frisco so we're centrally located amongst the Epic...

Definitely would like to do at least one day at the Beav. Haven't skied there in many years!

That's what I was hoping for. Spring break weeks are spread out so that's got to help and I just thing overall lots of people have moved on from skiing by then. That's my hope. Just want to bounce...

I've skied in Colorado quite a bit during January and February, but never during spring break time. How much of a shit show is it likely to be during the week of March 25th? I noticed that's the week...

The stark difference between American and British (network) TV.

Talk about "The Turn." Holy schnikes! Sounds like sunny weather should return for the weekend, but summer is officially dead.

My wife and I stumbled upon a funny sitcom over the weekend called "Still Game." It's about Scottish pensioners in Glasgow. It's pretty old. Originally aired from 2006-2007 but I'd never heard of it...

How old was Wayne?

With those terrible weather conditions you can't expect them to drive the speed limit.

He should hook up with the girl who got kicked off the plane for the "not real" person aboard. Seems like they'd make a great pair. Also, does that guy actually think he's in great shape?

I suppose having options is good in general.

The problem with buying jigsaw puzzles at thrift stores.

I'm just sort of amazed you've got choice. Is this common?

You know he won't be, though. Some voters will say the Angels weren't good enough. Others will say he doesn't deserve it because he missed part of the season.

The obvious (albeit expensive) solution is to get a car with a touchscreen that supports Android Auto. It seems silly, but I can't imagine having a car without it after having it.

My question is this: with a drug cocktail like that, can you really still call it an accident? Good lord.

Thanks for the reply. Good insights!

If we bought in the area it would probably be a second home and that seems like it could be a bit of a headache with home maintenance issues and having to...

I know this may be a loaded question, but what's it like living in South Lake Tahoe? It seems like there are some neighborhoods that are actually fairly inexpensive. I'm just sort of amazed you can...

Those pretty white planes with red strips and curtains, that look like a big tylenol?

What I think is that your friend's wife told him in no uncertain terms that she's coming this year. Once she decided she was coming she also decided you weren't coming.

I wouldn't hold it against...

Meh, that'll buff right out.

"For this pose I'd like you to pretend you're a seal."

I'm a bit surprised that the military doesn't know exactly where every airplane is that's in the air (and probably on the ground, too) at all times. Seems strange that an ejection would make it go...

I'm still on my Native American kick and finished two good ones recently. The first was Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan. Quite a fascinating biography of photographer Edward...

Yeah, Pratt engines are crap, so that's probably the best use for one.

Phone autocorrect making my texts look like I don't understand basic grammar. For some reason it seems to think "its" isn't a word and that "it's" is always what I want. Same with "were" and "we're."...

Tuck comin' now Tuck goin'.

Need a bit of kitty stoke this morning :)

While looking at the set Kenny posted I was thinking "why can't going braless be more culturally acceptable?" but then I realized there are many, many cases where it probably wouldn't be as great as...

Still missing Daisy Duke after all these years.

Very sorry to hear this. A good friend's nephew committed suicide last year and it's been hell for their family. It has made me wonder if the person who took their life would have chosen a different...

How is the POP 60% but the snow total is 50-75 cm for Monday? Something doesn't seem to compute.

Oh yeah, I'm sure there are reasons, but it still looks goofy as hell.

I'm not so concerned about losing a gate-checked bag (although it can happen) as I am about getting the hell out of the airport and not having to wait at the fucking baggage carousel if I don't have...

People who sit in wheelchairs but propel the chair using their feet.

[I'll admit this one is a bit sad, but for some reason it also amuses me]

Yes, that's it. I was actually on a fairly full flight Sunday that had left over overhead space. There's a first time for everything.

Some comedian, maybe Jerry Seinfeld, said "How is early boarding supposed to be a first class perk? Is there anyone who wants to sit on the plane even longer?"

I'll tell you what is a perk,...

The final midweek day game of the season seemed like a good reason to play hooky from work today. It worked out, too, with the Mariners coming away with a 3-2 win over the Angels.

Some dumbass is just sitting there recording while his cat's tail is on fire? WTF?

70 degrees. It was about perfect. More chop/waves than normal, but that's what open water swimming is all about!
