September. The weather is still nice and warm without being uncomfortably hot, which everyone is enjoying and taking advantage of before the temperatures start to drop. There’s a guaranteed three-day weekend in Labor Day. If you do that kind of thing, you get one more chance to make it out to your vacation house or lake house or whatever you have. Towns and cities have a solid lineup of street feats and other events to go to for end of season. You have the beginning of college football and NFL seasons, along with MLB pennant races and the last chance to make it out to the ballpark for the regular season. Every weekend is an event to enjoy and savor before autumn is in full swing.
The visceral reaction over this New York barbecue is beyond stupid and really irritates me, even though it shouldn’t. I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of the numbskulls and nimrods that are virulently attacking this four-year-old republished article and getting themselves all worked up about it didn’t actually get past the clickbaity picture and headline to read the thing. The author was simply noting that in his travels, he would order barbecue from places around the world and the chefs told him they were inspired by the barbecue made and served in Brooklyn as opposed to a place like Texas or Memphis, which really surprised the author. It was just an observation. But since this is the internet and the discourse over everything in this country has devolved online screeching and pissing matches, it was misconstrued to be some horrible affront to humanity.
And no, I am neither from nor live in New York so this isn’t some passionte defense I’m laying out. I just feel like it’s something that’s lost in this electronic cacophony of “DURRRR THAT FAKE NEWS HIPSTER BBQ AIN’T TAKING OVER THE WORLD”
I am a total chocolate fiend so I dig your top 2. If I had to pick a favorite I’d go with Cocoa Pebbles. I like the chocolate they use and the fact that they’re more dense than something like Cocoa Puffs.
Jack and the gang over at Twitter HQ felt it was necessary to give me (@ArrowZeppelin!) 280 characters so I can more clearly convey my Twitter message to the couple dozen friends and hundred or so porn bots that follow my account. Guess you just need to grow your influence like me so you can write more in-depth 69 jokes and meandering rants aimed at John Lackey telling him to go fuck himself.

One week is the sweet spot for me. Leave early on a Saturday so you have that whole day, spend all week doing whatever you want (It’s your time, after all), and come back the next Friday whenever you want. That way you have the next Saturday and Sunday at home to serve as your “Vacation from your vacation” without having to immediately jump back into work, which is a jarring transition.
By 2027 I expect the popular “high school jersey of an NBA player” (i.e. Jordan’s Laney jersey or Derrick Rose’s Simeon one) to be replaced with their AAU jerseys. So look for kids to rock Lonzo’s Big Ballers jersey.
Speaking of the Balls, I still think a Washington State Lavar Ball jersey would be funny as hell.
The bigger issue that needs to be addressed are dudes taking pictures at the bachelor party and posting them to Facebook and shit. I feel like that goes completely against the spirit of the occasion. How about we put the phones down for a change and just rage? Your aunts and whoever don’t need to be seeing them and leaving comments in between posting Minions memes with fake facts on them.
When I’ve been down to Saint Louis, the biggest food recommendations were 1) Toasted ravioli (Which are a delicacy) and 2) Steve’s Hot Dogs. I feel like they do partially make up for the crackers with cheese on them that IMO’s makes
They basically invaded the city of Milwaukee when the football team played Wisconsin at Lambeau Field last year. I’m shocked they didn’t drink the Miller brewery dry.
In Baltimore for the Preakness. Find me in the Infield Fest.

The Arrested Development reboot is all the evidence you need of what a horrendous idea this is.

Have been there before and can confirm.

I have a baby blue Andre Dawson Expos jersey and I love it. It surprisingly gets a lot of use and I don’t feel like a total tool when wearing it.
Rewarding myself for the deal I closed this morning by going to the bleachers in Wrigley this afternoon. Life is nice today, man.

Haha it’s all good
