I’ve honestly never seen any anti Thanksgiving stuff, though I’m not really on social media and don’t hang out with douche bags. Greatest holiday ever. Hope everyone had a good one. I’m pretty confident we all have a lot to be thankful for.

I hate that college basketball starts during college football season. I search the channels looking for college football or college football talk and all is playing is college basketball. I hate basketball and all professional sports..

Lil' Joey Moorehead. After his win tonight he practically admitted his involvement in a completely unnecessary fight with Ole Miss players.
He admitted It with his presser after the fact.

He stated some arrogance... Knut Rockne and so forth... We need to beat the SEC again this year in the postseason. Let the losers of secession pout just a little while longer.

The only ones who lost in the secession issue were the North.

In Barnes and Noble, and they have an entire section dedicated to box sets to “explore worlds of fantasy” and “experience magic and wonder,” and has every conceivable popular, young-adult children’s series imaginable... except “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

How the fuck you gonna leave out my boy Clive Staples??? It’s because of the Christian imagery, isn’t it?

It’s a fantastic series, and I’m salty that they left out a bedrock of the “boxed set” idea.

I’m gonna speak to a manager.

I’m going full on ‘middle-class white lady’ about this.

Narnia would have to be its own box set, wouldn't it? I wouldn't want a box set of rando fantasy novels with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe thrown in.

Yeah, I did a poor job of explaining it. They featured different boxed sets of various authors and series, and put them in a section just for boxed sets to introduce young readers to popular fiction.

They had boxed sets for Harry Potter, The Giver Quartet, Box Car Children, Artemis Fowl, Spiderwick Chronicles, etc. etc.

But no Narnia boxed set? I call bullshit. And there wasn’t even a spot for it. They were arranged alphabetically by author, and there was no spot cleared for “Lewis.”

Dumb. I've seen a lot of giant single volumes with the entire Chronicles in one book, but it's absurdly large and completely impractical to actually read.

These PGA Grills throughout all these airports,... you’re waiting for your flight, want a burger and a snack, PGA grill. The menu sounds pretty good and high end, it’s high priced so you’re thinking “can’t be bad” .... it’s 20 dollar a person cafeteria food. It’s awful. Now I see them at every airport and they’re one of if not the only option at many of the smaller ones....

Could it have been under C. S. Lewis at the front? If not that's a darn shame. Those books are fantastic for engaging growing minds.

Why do they insist on shortchanging NDs title count every time it’s mentioned on national TV now... ? It seems like we have less nattys every freaking year according to the national networks...

Major network’s teaser just now: “Last chance to spare us of Notre Dane in the playoffs fell to USC, did they pull it off???”

Fuck this shit...

I’ve been saying for 20 years, this shit ultimately hurts recruiting....

What doesn't hurt recruiting...is a playoff appearance. Win or lose...

A win certainly helps...but even a competitive loss where the team looks solid is big.

Freaking fraud prevention on my credit card. They shut me down and messed up half of my Christmas shopping transactions. It shouldn't strike them as suspicious that someone charged a bunch of shit at Kohl's and Walmart and Amazon on November 26.

Same thing happened to my wife last week while we were in FL. We were at an outlet mall in St. Augustine. Her card worked fine, then the next day, frozen.

When people complain about it being cold...in December.

It’s this in July that pisses me off... it’s 105 outside, of course the freakin AC is going to run... but there is always at least one female complaining about how cold it is.

Years ago I was the Data Center manager at a company that had it's data center in it's own building. It only housed the data center and programming staffs. I was also responsible for the facility. I had one woman who constantly complained about being cold. Didn't matter what I did, she was never happy. Fast forward about 15 years later. It's July and I'm at Sallie Mae walking down the hall. I see this lady way down at the other end walking toward me wearing a long winter coat. Yes sir, it was her.
