You can find a great one at Hammerbarn! Aisle 300, left at the fake grass, if you hit the flamingos you've gone too far.

The Simpsons is still great…

The Simpsons is still great. I've watched it every week since the premiere. I hope it never ends, as it helps me deal with any Sunday night anxieties.

Uno Attack is pretty darn…

Uno Attack is pretty darn fun for everyone. We just found it for 5 bucks, and the kids go bonkers for it.

I've taught no less than 4 families how to play the Pokemon TCG ever since my sister-in-law drop shipped Battle Academy to our house. Including, my sister-in-law's family. You can sometimes find Battle Academy for $11 or less. You can then go onto EBAY and purchase other premade decks once the kids have a favorite Pokemon.

You can find "parachute" forts that hook up to a cheap box fan to inflate. A lot more pros than cons with these.

Leapfrog makes a bunch of electronics that are pretty great. The Leapfrog Rockit Twist Handheld Learning Game System doesn't make you feel as guilty as if you would have bought a tablet or a Switch.

I've given up my gamer ways, and I refuse to allow tablets or a Switch in my house. The kids can ignore me down the road when they aren't as cute anymore! ;)

Leapfrog makes an interactive Microscope that is pretty great. One of the trips received that from Santa last year.

The Leapfrog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart was a big hit, but they were 3-4 at the time. They still use it occasionally.

Leapfrog also makes a bunch of junk, too. Don't be fooled. Read reviews.

 

Listen to me. Only to me. I…

Listen to me. Only to me. I have 6 year old triplets that are very popular in school(lots of friends and playdates), and also happen to have a large extended family with small children. The stem stuff is fun for a half hour, then YOU have to clean it up. Don't overspend on it. Also, most toys I'm going to suggest are gender neutral.

First of all, you should already have a "cool" advent calendar. You missed out royally, if you do not have one already.

Itemized, but no particular order.

1.Bitzee

2.Furby

3.Pokemon TCG Battle Academy - I can't stress this enough. Reading comprehension, sportsmanship, critical thinking, and surprisingly complex addition/subtaction/multiplication. Warning: this will open Pandora's box when it comes to Pokemon.

4."Explorer Sofa" - Basically large foam pillows that fold. They can build forts, make a couch, etc. I bought ours from Sam's Club. However, they are everywhere.

5. Flashlights - Always flashlights - Check the lumen level. Don't be irresponsible.

6.Uno Attack

7.SIMPLE Lego sets

8.Any art sets from 5 Below

9.Any science sets from 5 Below

10.GLOW anything

11.Magne-Tiles - My lil demons probably have 7 sets.

12.Magic Mixies

I have many more suggestions, but I'm sure you all are already tired of me.

Go Blue!

 

Excellent. I would rather…

Excellent. I would rather play Alabama in the first round. Health and preparation will be on our side. Go Blue! Beat 'Bama!

Correct. The rumor has been…

Correct. The rumor has been started by Ryan Day. Day needs an excuse to fall back on when Michigan beats them by 30.

I sold cars for a very long time(at least to me).

My advice is to finance it. Turn around and pay it off. Screw them, they would do it to you in a heartbeat.

These people are not your friends.

Genius!

The best draft…

Genius!

The best draft analysis/advice I've ever read.

Careful, one of the talking heads are going to steal this little pearl of wisdom.

I may take credit for it, then copy and paste it to my buddies. :)

Who meets these…

Who meets these qualifications:

  • Be a three-year starter
  • Be a senior in college
  • Graduate from college
  • Start 30 games
  • Win 23 games
  • Post a 2-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio
  • Complete at least 60% of passes thrown
I truly believe the only…

I truly believe the only answer is Right Field Balcony and Right Field Tables.

You get a waitstaff, or at least, you did. A special menu only for that area that you can order from. You get a table. You get security making sure nobody without the correct ticket is in that area. You're right next to a bar. You're right next to a little used bathroom. You are right next to a "gift shop". You can walk up to the upper level and use the concessions up there with no wait. They have(had?) a daiquiri station(WHALE BONES!) right next to the hot dog stand.

They are not the least expensive tickets, but they also are not the most expensive. I never sit anywhere else.

I had a 1989 White Chrysler Le Baron GT with blue pleather seats. The engine was turbocharged. I blew it up trying to impress some girls. I had to walk 2 miles, in the dead of night, in the middle of nowhere to a friends house to use the phone. I did not get laid.

 

I think about that car every time I hear Short Skirt, Long Jacket.

Bring in Notre Dame. Take out Maryland or Rutgers. It solves everything.

The Boys should keep the Tork and Green in Triple A until at least April 24th... I have Mud Hens tix on the 23rd. First row, right behind home plate.

I also have a question. Why isn't anyone talking about Faedo? I hear he is healthy, and throwing some nasty stuff.

I find it ironic that he led…

I find it ironic that he led Notre Dame in steals before his roommate incident...

Jokes aside. I listen to him everyday on my way home from work. I find his show/style refreshing after the drivel that ESPN has pumped out since they moved Scott Van Pelt to late night Sportscenter.

The man constantly ruminates about how his early failures and mistakes have shaped him as a man, as well as a father. Can't we all say the same?

I've done way worse than what this man has. I'm a bad ass father of triplets, and I'm doing better financially than most of my peers in high school/college. I attribute this to my many mistakes.... and my wife.

Everyone here sure makes these talking heads out to be Pontius Pilate anytime anyone says anything bad about the Maize and Blue.

I get that this is a Michigan Blog, BUT "Glass houses, man".

You have to trade back if…

You have to trade back if Aidan isn't there. Failing that, you have to go Jordan Davis OR Kyle Hamilton. Thibodeaux just screams self-entitled. The guy gets in his own way with every interview. The kind of guy that will just bide his time until he can hit free agency, and go someplace flashy.

Who knows? Maybe you can trade back AND get Jordan Davis or Kyle Hamilton.

These tweets only elicit…

These tweets only elicit more questions! Just one example:

Where in the hell do I get the hat that Minter is wearing? I need this hat.

Does anyone know which school has the most invites? I'm sure I could google it, but I know how much you folks like to break the stories.

Better than Ezra doesn't get enough credit.

Jesus. I can't even make it through half of Reconstruction Site without completely breaking down for a week. Let me guess. You're a big Bright Eyes fan as well

You could distance yourself from Ross's blackmark. However, also, his money. The recruiting would explode!

Kyle Whittingham. Brian…

Kyle Whittingham. Brian Flores as DC.

Whittingham has put top 20 teams on the field consistently throughout his career. In Utah. IN UTAH! I have no idea why he hasn't been poached. Kyle also beat Jim in Jim's first game here. So... Kyle is intrinsically better than Jim.

There it is, Mikey, check it out. His head's bleeding. Mikey, check it out. Little Wayne's legs are shaking all over.

There is no debate. 2004. Strictly for the soundtrack. An argument can be made 2005 with the addition of the hit stick. I can't remember which one had the rpg style bonuses. 2 per player. Google is hard, sometimes.

Just don't walk down student row/campus row or whatever they're calling it this year. You'll be fine. I want to say it butts up to the tennis courts, if I remember correctly. The times I went I was very drunk. You'll know by the smell...

However, there is a good breakfast place downtown, by spartan spirits. IF it's still there.

Dude, OLED is highly…

Dude, OLED is highly sensitive, and subject to pixel burn. So, if you don't want a permanent Fox News icon in the lower left hand corner of your screen, go with a Samsung QLED. I have a 75" Q90. I don't need to worry about the scorebug being permanently burned into the bottom of my tv screen. I only turn on the intelligent mode for sports. Plus, if you buy a Samsung brand soundbar, it will sync with the tv speakers using their new (sometimes buggy) Qsymphony tech. It was a nice touch after having to give up my house system when the triplets were born.

P.S. I don't work for Samsung

I'm so glad to finally see some common sense on this blog. I've been stalking for years, and it's been damn depressing watching what's happened to you folks the last 5 months.

Trips always beat a pair, but only in poker. I logged on just to reply to your reply. Do strangers constantly stop you, give you wildly inappropriate advice,trips.jpg and try to touch them? I've come close to shanking a few old ladies.
