  • This Darrell Brooks trial has been crazy. I'm generally in favor of cameras in court rooms, but this is one of the few times I've felt it was a bad idea.

    Vala's Pumpkin Patch is quickly turning into the Disney of the Midwest.

    Every year since 2016, my work has offered discounted tickets. They used to be $10 each. I just got an email today about the tickets. They're now discounted to $17.99/ticket for a weekday (full price is $19.99) and $34.99/ticket for the weekend (full price is $39.99).

    So, for the amount of tickets I was going to buy, I can either save $18 for the weekday or $45 for the weekend. Obviously that's better than full price, but not by much when you consider how much things on the inside cost now, too. Just wild what that place has turned in to. I'm all for capitalism but... geesh.

    If you were in HS it is probably a fun place to go since there is little supervision and you could totally sneak in vapes and booze.

    If you are a mom it is probably a cool place to go just so you can really push the limits of your husband's patience, really send him near that breaking point and then top if all off with getting him and and having super tired cranky kids and letting him know that you are going to bed early since you are worn out.  Maybe also letting him know that saying "thank you" to the girl that gave you your change after buying a 14 dollar funnel cake seemed a bit "too flirty"

    @Red Fivethats actually the perfect description haha. 
     

    I will say that It is regarded as one of the best in the country and there truly is a lot of stuff to do. They have their own train ride, haunted houses, tons of attractions and shows, rentable camp sites/fire pits, etc. It also holds a lot of sentimental value to me because I started going in the early 90s as a kid, but it also used to cost only a couple bucks to get in. Now they just keep expanding every year and finding new reasons to slap another $5 onto admission.

    That's about 25% more than Fritzler's Corn Maze here. https://www.fritzlerfarmpark.com/

    But Fritzler's has GOATS, acrobatic goats  :koolaid2: and pumpkin cannons.

    Was there a food you hated while growing up, only to realize later you hated it because it was made poorly?

    I (think) I have a pretty big one: steak. I really did not like actual steaks growing up... ribeyes, T-bones, the like. But it was because I didn't know anything about steaks and my parents would often cook them medium to well done and served with A1. It wasn't until I got older and had well-cooked steaks that I realized I liked them a lot.

    @Danny Bateman I had a somewhat similar experience. My earliest memories of asparagus were out of a can. I didn't "hate" it, but I definitely didn't like it. I remember my dad made oven baked asparagus one time when I was about 10 and I thought "where the hell as this been?"

    Plus the fun thing with asparagus is making your pee smell funny for the next few hours.

    Asparagus rolls.  Cream cheese on lunch ham, then wrap the asparagus.  Bake it. 

    Just your annual reminder that Die Hard is not, and will never be, a Christmas movie.

    It wasn’t a bad show originally but The Connors is absolutely horrible.

    If you could eliminate any penalty in football, what would you choose and why?

    I'd choose false starts (and the defensive counterpart offsides). You could still blow the play dead, but don't waste time explaining the call or allowing the teams to re-huddle and call in new plays. Just force them to line up and get after it.

    I 100% advocate eliminating the backwards slide rule. In lieu of that not happening though then yes I think you just spot the ball wherever the qb initiated the slide since that’s where it gets spotted currently.

    Get rid of spot foul for PI. Sick of watching "game-winning" drives where 80% of the yardage is off two PI calls. Just make it 15 yards. No reason a defense should get penalized 30-40 yards because the offense threw up some garbage pass 

    Oh, the irony of watching a school bus blow through a stop sign in my neighborhood...

    What's a song that's almost entirely opposite of your general music tastes, but you can't help enjoying?

    I would really need to think to figure out a rap song I like.

    Anything by the late Christina Grimme.  Music lost a future superatar in her.

    Tough road for Andy Hoffman continues according to his latest update. Keeping the good thoughts and hopes flowing. 


    Has anybody ever shipped anything to Nebraska from Ikea? I think the closest one is in Kansas and items get shipped by a third party. Just curious if you had a positive experience.

    Shipped it to Vegas(as everything at the one in Vegas is out of stock) and it came via DHL and took like 6 weeks.  I would consider DHL a 3rd party, but it came in 1 piece.

    Two important Rick Moranis updates:

    1) Apparently, he was sucker punched in NYC? Whoever they are should get a life sentence. 


    2) I was creeping on his IMDB page just now and saw that a a movie called "Shrunk" is in pre-production. I would love to see him back on the big screen.

    Air Force once again killing it with the alternate uniforms:

    The service academies consistently crush it when it comes to alternate uniforms.  These are sweet.

    Damn...too bad the Washington Football Team didn't run with this idea as their replacement. They look sharp.

    Dylan McCaffrey (Luke's brother) is transferring from Michigan.

    Dylan is a redshirt Junior, so would have 2 years of eligibility remaining.

    Appreciate the clarification.  The UM website lists him as a Senior.

    People really do love to draw attention to a certain sports personality (whose name rhymes with lip clayless) whenever he says something outrageous, but then they wonder why this dude has a job and attracts so much attention.

    Even mentioning his name or quoting a tweet to complain about him is what he and ESPN are hoping for. He's a bombastic personality. Want to shut him up? Gotta stop giving him attention. Shows that fail are the ones that don't have eyeballs or interest.

    At FOX Sports, we are proud of Dak Prescott for publicly revealing his struggle with depression and mental health,” the network said in a statement. “No matter the cause of the struggles, FOX Sports believes Dak showed tremendous courage which is evident in both his leadership on the Dallas Cowboys and in his character off the field. We do not agree with Skip Bayless’ opinion on Undisputed this morning. We have addressed the significance of this matter with Skip and how his insensitive comments were received by people internally at Fox Sports and our audience.”

    What Fox should've said:

    "Look... we know that Skip has trash takes, but y'all keep giving him attention and making us a ton of money, and what he said wasn't reaaaaaally bad enough to force us to have to remove him. So... I mean yeah we feel bad about what he said, and we'll try to make him not be so mean in the future, but otherwise we're just going to carry on."
