nutmegger / coloradan. yes I agree that’s a strange combination. views my own and mostly unserious.
You: What's goin on? Me: Oh, nothing much. Just watching Jason Kelce's Liquid Death/Garage Beer PSA about harvesting human urine to power data centers.
everyone appreciates it when the new coworker brings treats to the office
NFL wide receivers are the best athletes on earth, and they also eat 5,000 calories of sugar cereal per day like a 5-year old
trump admin basically sending "u up? we gotta fuck colorado" emails at 2:43am is some morbidly funny stuff www.denverpost.com/2026/08/14/c...
‘Smoking gun’ email shows White House summoned agencies to Colorado-focused meeting amid Tina Peters furor
A Trump assistant asked officials from five agencies to join a call “prepared to discuss immediate actions that your department or agency can take with respect to Colorado.”

my wonderful son Zac Veen has graduated to the big time, I'm so proud of him
my large adult son has struck again
goal achieved: touched the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on the same trip, prior to returning to the stupid landlocked mountains
I get that the Rockies could get a haul for Goodman, and that these are pragmatic decisions. That said 1) he’s awesome and under team control and 2) fans are just starting to come back, and they haven’t built up enough trust in the market to do this yet. I’d wait www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...

going back for More Connecticut, excited to find more cool stuff in my dad’s shop and also to get some scratchies at the packie (and for my kids to see their cousins)
the Connecticut Respecter (me) has returned from my latest trip, here’s some stuff I found in my dad’s woodshop when I was cleaning it out this past weekend + the sun setting in the woods behind the house
I will not be explaining this further but of all places in CT for Bigfoot to be, Voluntown makes a lot of sense
Rhode Island dad claims he saw Bigfoot in Connecticut woods - and detailed that it had 'no boobs'
putting this on and sitting on my couch so I can watch the giants give up 179 rushing yards to the titans, somehow
thinking about football. I can smell the leather, friend
this diner would have a smoking section (complimentary) and a little kiosk where you could borrow a VHS camcorder and make a little video of you and your friends eating cheese fries and drinking milkshakes
the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.
Rockies with the classic 4-2-3-4 double play to end that inning. As one does.
there used to be a bar in my hometown that had .25 cent beers on Tuesdays, the same night the movie theater had $5 tickets. We’d load up at the bar after work and then go see whatever. One time we stepped into Hollow Man and had to leave, even our drunk asses couldn’t handle it.

realizing I have Rockies tickets (good ones, even) the same night as US/Bosnia, so now I get to enjoy one of life’s true luxuries: watching one sport while attending another
annual reminder of this banger of a thread. My contribution: I volunteered to coach little league this year and taught a bunch of 5-7 year olds to say “look alive out there” to each other while pounding their mitts with their fists. Did this help with our defense, no, why would you ask that
It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:
really just wanted an excuse to post a gif of the Simpsons roasting Australia for an entire episode
