It's not even shitty.

Owatonna didn't receive a sportsmanship banner after beating Minneapolis North 72-26 in the 1990 AA basketball championship game. (Left the starters in way too long)

Sometimes reading you is like looking in the mirror...

I'll second that! And will also take local over a chain any day.

Taco Terco, formerly of Montogmery, coming soon to Northfield is also excellent.

He's the athletic equivalent of those character actors -- think someone like Jean Smart or Delroy Lindo -- who make everything they appear in better.

Appeared on a TV game show with Colonel Sanders.

You're not.

In 1982, gas was around $1.25. I was making $4/hour.

Gas is a bargain.

You've been reading her Tinder profile?

I still have the Sunday newspaper parody stashed away somewhere. I really need to dig this out.

You need to cut back on the postgame handshakes.

I think it's that so many parents have passed the love on to their kids. I think The Princess Bride has that same staying power.

I think a big part of it is that "playing time" is not in the equation. Top 7 run varsity, everyone else runs the JV race. The clock determines who the top 7 are. So kids know their role. Parents can't bitch that coaches are playing favorites. Everyone runs their race and supports their teammates.

Right on. My oldest ran cross country. Never qualified for a varsity race (there was some real talent at his school) but stuck it out for 6 years because of supportive teammates, coaches, other parents and opponents.

Ahh, thanks. That 15k he claims seems like such a big number, I though there might be another piece.

I paid $10 in 1980 and (I believe, don't have a stub) $8 a couple of years before that.

Is it possible he's talking tax on SS + state income tax to get to his savings number?

It reminds me of Yellowstone. Over-the-top and half-assed.

Two nieces there. Finishing school is a perfect description.

Thanks. We just checked and they were more than $400 each including fees. Gonna pass but I appreciate you passing this on.

You just caught me on one of my good days.

Probably. But for now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Congratulations! We got kicked from "select seats" back to the waiting room 3 times. By the time we got a genuine opportunity, all that was left was singles, top row behind the stage and a few pairs that were more than we wanted to pay. And by the way, AXS and their glitchy site suck.
