re: Worst kind of snob?

All snobs suck. That's the whole point of applying the label. It's a derogatory insult and the fact these people wear it as a badge of honor only furthers that point.





How the hell did this team dominate Florida on the road?

What a weird trajectory we have seen since that game.


Yeah, treatable but not curable is doctor speak for get your affairs in order.

Evil Dead 2 is his magnum opus.


They suspiciously left out one category of ex-pats: single dudes who gave up on trying to court American women and sail off to distant shores looking for "traditional women" who take pride in their appearance/figure, embrace their roles as homemakers and are ecstatic to find a man with disposable income who wont beat them in a drunken rage.

Georgia (the country, not the US state) is another place where you see pictures and think, "wow, I would love to travel there" ...and then you start reading more.


I went to the Nashville show at the Fairgrounds but didn't have much time or money to spend. Lots of tables and cards. Walked by some dorky looking guy with a briefcase and overheard him claiming he just bought $75,000 worth of cards. I thought, yeah, right. Later I saw him at his booth and he had several '52 Mantles and many other 5 and 6 figure cards. Just insane.

I bought about 40 commons from 1956 and 50 from 1958. The set building continues.

It's not the most famous but since most of the entries here are genuinely gruesome and horrific, I will submit something a little more light hearted:

The infamous Nashville foot stomper. He had a completely uncontrollable urge to stomp on women's feet and terrorized the well-shoed women of Nashville for decades. The prettier the woman and the nicer her shoes, the more he had to stomp. Sometimes he would go into a store and stomp 3 or 4 women in one crazed outburst. Sometimes he would abscond with their shoe as a souvenir. He was often caught but sentences were mild and the very first thing he did when let out of jail was to foot stomp. One time a judge let him out on bail and right after he walked out of the courtroom an attorney was walking by in high heel shoes .... STOMP, STOMP. He didn't make it 10 feet before reoffending.

That's basically how taxes work. Rich people put most of the money into the coffers and get the same crappy government services that poor people use. I'm not saying I support this but you can't argue it's inconsistent with just about every other government operation.


He claims he has never seen an episode of Friends and has no desire to.


It depends on whose parents were out of town.

Small Claims Court.

Should be plenty of information online about how to file, what is needed, who and how to service process, etc.


Such a shame she has been typecast as the incestuous stepmom. Her acting talents have gone to waste.


She should go to her kids with a Britney Spears CD and some Beanie Babies gift wrapped and say "hey kids, I'm finally back from shopping. You wouldn't believe how bad the traffic was"


Does winning a regular season title in baseball mean anything? Even if we ignore the fact that baseball is way less popular than FB or BB, it doesn't seem like a sport where the regular season means that much. Hoover - yeah, sure. Omaha - absolutely. But going 17-13 and winning a three team tie breaker because you had an easier schedule or something. Who cares?

The only kids who played hockey when I was a kid were the ones who had parents who grew up in New England or the upper Midwest and later moved south for work. In other words their parents played hockey as kids and then, as is so often the case, they pushed their kids into the youth sport they played.

Isn't the planet running out of helium? Pretty sure I remember hearing about that. Seems like implementing this idea on a grand scale would put a pretty big dent on dwindling helium reserves.

Plus commercial airlines probably aren't a big fan of turning their interstates into a slalom course.

Another bit of trivia I learned today - the Yankees left fielder who futilely chased after Mazeroski's walk off World Series homer only to watch it sail over the fence was Yogi Berra.

I knew Yogi played a little outfield later in his career but never knew that was him in that iconic baseball moment.

My cousin developed a horrible neck pain that eventually made his life miserable. Went to various doctors and they ultimately recommended a surgery on his neck. Then he went to a chiropractor and the guy cracked his neck a few times and he walked out a new man and never had pain again. Saved himself from having a pretty bad surgery at a relatively young age.

But that story is probably an exception to the rule.

Dude, baseball is probably the sport where they have the least chance of competing against men. I mean they have zero chance in other sports too but you would probably have a better argument that one could "theoretically" be a short range football kicker, a hockey goalie or a point guard who shoots 90% free throws who could come into the game late when the other team has to foul. But there is nothing they could do on a baseball field.

Plastic surgery is actually the hardest discipline of medicine to get into. Now, most of them eventually wind up doing boob jobs and lip injections on rich women and spending half the week at the golf course but getting to that point is the highest barrier in medicine.
