Soft is a relative term. At 25 and it’s your first buddy getting married, you’re obligated to go nuts. By your late 20’s if you can get more than 8 guys away for a night or even a whole weekend, and you just use the time to relax and drink/do drugs. That ain’t soft. Thats life, my man.
The only time my dad ever took a CD away because of content was when he bought me Ill Communications when I was 8. I think even then I was like; “Yeah, you’re right. I probably shouldn’t have this.”
It’s a fine line between being cool good parents, and parents who are so cool it’s weird. I think my parents were on the right side of that line. But everyone knew a few kids whose parents let you do whatever you wanted. You knew it was weird but you went with it.
The last time this really bit me in the ass was last fall. Go to dinner with three buddies. Two of said buddies go home at like 10. Me and other buddy end up at a burrito place at 3am. Cut to; Saturday morning 8 am, me puking in the shower while I get ready for the NIU game.
Also, the weekends I tell myself I’m going to stay in end up with me cripplingly hung over on Sunday. Actual productive weekends seem to occur by happenstance. You look at your phone and it’s 10:30, and all of your married friends haven’t responded for hours. That turns into; “Welp, guess I’ll smoke this joint and fall asleep 40 minutes later…” Leaving you refreshed to use your weekend day.
I have a good friend who is really letting himself go. Dude smokes like a chimney, eats like shit, and makes no effort to exercise. I think as a fellow fat guy, though one who is working on being less fat, I have a leg up in bringing it up to him. This blog might be what I needed to mention it to him over beers.
I think it’s important to note that this fully stops happening at like, 27. By then, unless you’re a real degenerate, or there’s something important going on, everyone is too tired to go hard on a Friday night.
The rise in pumpkin spice popularity is a bummer for anyone (read; me) who has loved pumpkin spice since the first time they had pumpkin pie as a small child. I just want to buy pumpkin spice flavored things in the appropriate season without comments from the peanut gallery.
I will ride with you on no outdoor weddings. You have to be insane to rely on the weather to no be shitty (especially in the Midwest). But really not having a fall wedding is a preference rather than a common courtesy. I’m done arguing semantics now.
Exactly. I think I have been lucky in that I have yet to attend a “bad” wedding. But unless it was tickets to a national championship or the Super Bowl, I’m going wedding every time.
Does the fact that Bart and Lisa have been in the same grade for basically the entire 27 years speak to the state of the education system as well? Like you said, it’s fun to look back at Homers old jobs, but that video is a bit of a stretch.
Why is it that nights that start off with; “Just one or two drinks, and then home before last call…” wind up being some of the craziest nights? I’d like to see a study on that.
I always have LaCroix in my fridge, but I still don’t get the hype. I drink it because I love pop, but I’m a fat lard and I’m trying change that. It’s water that sorta tastes good.

If we’re talking pure 90’s Halloween nostalgia, I’m going Treehouse Of Horror 1-10. FxX having all the Simpsons episodes on demand is clutch.
I didn’t see it until like a year ago when I caught it on cable. I’ve watched like four times since. Underrated flick.
If we’re talking overall quality, it’s hard to disagree. Something tells me it has to do with me getting older when the writers get younger.
Poor behavior isn’t excused just because you refuse to take responsibility for your actions.

Why is not having a fall wedding common courtesy? I have yet to get married but as an attendee who sweats a lot, I prefer a fall wedding.
I’m ready for the downvotes, but…it’s a football game,man. If dude is a real friend, you go.

I have never set foot in a Whole Foods. You have cemented the fact that I never will.

I dunno why this got downvoted. It’s totally Dark Lord day. And Zombie Dust is delicious.
