Great news @Oaktavia and a great choice of ring

Unfortunately this is now normal @goosehd. I don't know where you live but in the States there's a large pool of stupid twats who think -actually, referring to their mental activity as thought is ridiculous.
On a positive note the unvaxed are dying at a steady clip. Every cloud has a silver lining. -
I'll warn you that I'm about to boast.
My niece Susannah McLain graduated high school last year. She's been an excellent swimmer and student for many years. She applied to a number of top-tier schools, and in part due to a bolus of applications post-COVID after many students deferred college as the pandemic unfolded, she wound up getting iced out of all of her choices.
She is such an amazing person and so deserving that it broke my heart for this to happen. But she never even considered playing the victim or feeling sorry for herself and instead immediately went to work interning on an EMT team and further padding her astonishing credentials (ridiculous GPA and SAT scores in addition to her athleticism). Then, she discovered that she is a natural rower. She progressed this skill so quickly during her gap year that rowing coaches at elite programs around the country were heavily recruiting her.
Today I am overwhelmed with pride to share that she just got accepted to her parents' alma mater, Yale!
I can hardly contain myself, so if you'll excuse me here while I get this pride out of my system

Amazing @mclaincausey I'm extremely pleased for her.

Right on, thanks @mclaincausey and that is a hell of a story.

Shoutout to homeboy in Cerritos that spotted my jacket tonight and mentioned his S&S natural HH jacket.

Three days into going cold turkey with nicotine. It would be fair to say I’m somewhat cantankerous

One day at a time buddy. Day 3 is the worst and it just gets incrementally easier after that.

Cheers fellas. Super grumpy today but it’ll pass shortly.
Good luck! Your wallet might hate me, but I imagine some IH-flavoured carrots at suitable milestones might help you keep going.
This is a shout, just ordered myself a 10oz chambray

RIP Bob Saget

I know right!?! 65. Too early.

Never liked the show Full House or his milquetoast character on it, but he was a great, filthy comic. I had a great time at one of his gigs… very funny man. I think he tended to get heckled because of Full House and we saw hip tear apart a few hecklers... Good stuff. RIP.

So sad, man. My girlfriend and I were talking about this last night — she was saying she had the perception he'd been trying to shake his dad image over the past several years, but I argued that he was always a really filthy comic. I remember seeing him on America's Funniest Home videos as a kid and thinking of him as this wholesome guy, but then I saw some late night HBO special and it was basically all filth, haha. I think my 11 or 12 year old brain didn't know how to handle it. But yep, I think those gigs were just to pay the bills — that guy just had a masterfully dirty sense of humor.
RIP one of the greats. I'm gonna re-watch The Aristocrats ASAP.
