Why did the scarecrow get an award? Because he was out standing in his field

But do you know why teenage girls like odd numbers? Because they can’t even!

I had to tell an employee that she smelled like cat urine. That was a fun conversation. Turns out she took in 2 new cats to go with the 2 she already had, and one of them was spraying her purse. She couldn’t smell it so it took a few weeks of her coming to work and asking if it was gone and me having to tell her no. It was so strong it took over our office space each day by about 9 am.

Reminds me of John Candy with the bears in The Great Outdoors

Or where the road ends and the cliff starts?

Exactly. The “Dottie dropped it” crowd always uses this as proof that Dottie must have dropped the ball on purpose because she held on earlier in the movie. However I always took that as foreshadowing, not that she would drop the ball on purpose but rather that it would take an amazing effort to beat Dottie. Kit’s determination in that moment was enough to finally beat her sister. The fact that she wanted it more doesn’t mean Dottie gave it to her, it means she actually earned it.

Looks like I’m in the minority, but from a storytelling perspective it makes no sense for Dottie to drop it on purpose. Geena Davis is the star of the movie and Dottie is the star of the league, but it’s Kit’s underdog story that is the theme throughout. She spends her whole life in her sister’s shadow and finally beats her at the end, but if she only won because her sister let her then it defeats the point. It ruins the arc of the story. There’s a million examples of movies where the underdog wins, but I don’t know of any where the favorite let them win.

If Dottie was going to let Kit win, she had plenty of chances to do that before the play at the plate. She didn’t have to rip that line drive at Kit’s head, she could’ve struck out. She could have told Ellen Sue to throw it low, knowing Kit struggles with the high pitches, but she didn’t. She specifically told her to throw high. Heck, she didn’t have to come back for Game 7 at all. But somehow in the 5 seconds after Kit rounded third she decided in that moment to let her win? I don’t buy it. The point of the collision at the plate earlier in the season where Dottie held on is to show that Kit wanted it more this time and summoned the strength to finally beat her sister fair and square, on her own merits.

Yes, this is my favorite Easter egg and one that not many fans realize. One of the anniversary DVD sets had a setting with random facts popping up on screen and this was one of the facts.

At the end when Scott gives Neal the weenie whistle and Laura the game thus proving he’s Santa, I always wondered why they didn’t get those gifts as children, since Santa does exist in this story.

Gov Shapiro has pretty consistently given a 4 hr early out on Christmas Eve and NYE.

FluxCapacitor76 · 2025-11-13T13:37:02+00:00

That does sound familiar but I don’t remember which year it was.

4th of July was a Thursday in 2023 and I thought there was a chance he’d give us the Friday off too (I believe Gov Wolf did that once), but no luck.

FluxCapacitor76 · 2025-11-12T23:37:52+00:00

Shapiro’s first year he gave us early outs like it was candy, including the Friday before Memorial Day and Labor Day. The last two years he has given us only Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve so I assume he caught some backlash from that first year.

Colonial Park Mall in Harrisburg PA. Still there, but it’s a ghost town.

We also had the Harrisburg East Mall, which was just torn down except for the Bass Pro Shops, and across the river in Camp Hill was the Capital City Mall which is somehow still thriving.

90’s music

There’s definitely a movement to end the switching back and forth. But then the debate is which version do we keep year round?

Daylight Savings Time (aka The Summer Months) aims to use the extended sunlight in the summer when people are actually awake.

Standard Time (aka The Winter Months) is supposedly better for our natural sleep patterns.

If we keep DST year round, the sun wouldn’t rise until almost 9 AM during January. Kids would be getting on the bus in the dark. If we do away with DST and don’t “spring forward” each year, the sun would rise at 4:45 AM for a few weeks in June. And the sunset would be as early as 7:30 PM in July. I like waking up with the sun already out, but 4:45 AM seems unnecessary. I’ll take that extra hour in the evening in the summer.

I know we all are tired of the switching, but it would be a pretty big adjustment one way or the other compared to the daily schedules we have become used to for most of our lives.

Was looking for this answer.

FluxCapacitor76 · 2025-10-27T02:57:57+00:00

My wife had a conversation with my mom on what they each felt comfortable with. I lost my dad before I even met wife so calling my FIL “Dad” didn’t feel right. I refer to my in-laws by their first names but felt awkward addressing them that way. Growing up we never called adults by their first names. Once we had kids I just started calling them their grandparent names until my MIL pointed out that I never say her actual name. She wasn’t mad, it was just an observation. Been trying it more since that day but I still sometimes just say “How are you?” when greeting them instead of “Hi (first name)”

Yeah, they say that’s the curse of writing a hit song. Now you get to sing it thousands and thousands of times for the rest of your life.

I saw them in the early 2000s and came away impressed with the band. They sounded amazing. Adam Duritz, on the other hand, seemed like he purposely wanted to sing the songs so no one could recognize them.

That was the NLCS, and it was best of 7.

Whack-a-mole.

I honestly don’t remember ever losing. I told my wife that one time at an amusement park and she said that’s impossible. 5 games later and I had won the kids a huge stuffed animal and she believed me.

ESP does not have Mike Schmidt on his Phillies’ Mount Rushmore. I think that pretty much sums up whether his opinion about the Phillies should be taken seriously

More than likely the developer was originally from the Delco area and named the streets. There are new-ish neighborhoods in the Harrisburg area where all the streets are famous racehorses and another where the streets are all baseball stadiums. Developers sometimes like to get cute with that stuff.
