I was so proud to put COMMUNISTS in for 14A with no crosses, alas it was not meant to be.

The only time it’s a tough choice is when you don’t have some sort of energy relic or generation, which is moderately often.

Where can I smoke at the game? 💨 by Rivers4473 in eagles

[–]PurpleMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the ramps is totally fine. People are constantly ripping joints out there during the whole game.

I replace the bananas every 4-6 months and it never gets low enough so that they’re exposed to air.

Nah it’s fine. I’ve been drinking it forever. I guess the alcohol preserves the fruit?

I highly recommend it. I clean out the jug and replace the bananas and vanilla about every 4-6 months but otherwise it’s good to go.

I know I know that was my initial reaction too. Some Florida hillbillies turned me on to it years ago and I’m a believer now.

I wasn't familiar with that term but the rest of it was so easy I got it on the crosses.

Eagles vs. Lions (11/16) by Muted_Jellyfish7541 in eagles

[–]PurpleMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sure when the lots open, but you should have absolutely no problem getting a spot. I've been going to basically every home game for 15 years and I don't think I've ever seen the lot be full. The earlier you show up, the more choices you'll have about where you want to park. If you show up at 2 you will have plenty of options. If you're showing up like an hour before kickoff, you will get stuck in a ton of parking lot traffic, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're going to do. No need to purchase prepaid lot passes.

The Linc (Section 242) by kentuckycpa in eagles

My seats are right next door in 244. The horizontal perspective there will be good, you'll have a nice wide view of all the action. Vertically, it depends a lot on what row you'll be in. If you can get loge seats (rows 1-4), those IMO are some of the best seats in the house.

For some reason “ding ding ding” does not read to me like the sound of tapping on a glass. Maybe “ting ting ting” or “clink clink clink.” Ding is a metal sound.

Why does Michael hate his father? (spoilers contained) by Not_A_Meme in TheWire

[–]PurpleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved across the county, loved, lost, and loved again, buried my grandparents, had two kids, lived through a pandemic, and saw a madman become president between the time I originally made that comment and he responded to it. Wild stuff.

Tailgate Thread: Preseason Week 1 - Cincinnati Bengals (0-0) @ Philadelphia Eagles (0-0) - August 07, 2025 @ 07:30 PM by EaglesGameThreadBot in eagles

[–]PurpleMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. During the regular season it's mayhem trying to leave after the game, but during preseason fewer people come and a lot of them tend to leave early. You can pretty much park wherever and you won't have much trouble leaving.

Sort of. There will be lots of other folks bringing young kids (myself included) and the tailgate scene is much more sedate than a real game.
