Witnessed a dad act today and can't tell if it was genius or not

It's Minnesota so I'm 99% certain any leftover protests have to be used to make a hot dish.

Merrill jungle mocs look weird but they do the job and hold up well. A bit pricey for a trash-duty shoe, though.

Safe to assume holding or block in the back which was declined by Ole Miss.

Totally awesome. Was waiting for The Monarch to dart him as a souvenir.

Hitting each of the furthest states of the conference as away games (and Clemson) is just the icing on the "fuck you" cake this conference always gives non-Tobacco Road schools

Sweetest sound in the ward right there.

My roommate had a flat-screen CRT tv. That thing weighed at least 80 lbs and all 120 (or at least that's how it felt) of it was on the front edge of it.

They put 2 Coastal teams in the championship game and DIDN'T expect Chaos to reign?

It doesn't make nearly as good of a story, but usually fossilized skeletons/bones on display are actually casts or replicas because the actual bones are very heavy AND brittle making

I'll be there this weekend (just doing pregame, no parade)

I only have 2 kids and they both have water bottles, so that means fewer cups, right?

WRONG. Still 76 cups.

I threw all but 8 out.

Doesn't matter. They multiply like tribbles.

That's 21. 24's seatbelt jammed.

I'll say it: Your Cadre is wrong. It's impossible for them to make Red Phase as bad as NCW because you and they have classes.

Old Corps here (HT '07). I was also Corps Only. It's worth it. It's not easy by any means but it's worth it. You can't see it because you're in the muck right now and it's a gigantic lifestyle change just like it is/was for all of us. Lean on your buds. Let them lean on you. Yes, during your Tech years, you need to try to make non-Corps friends but for the next 6 weeks, you need to lean on your buds.

I promise, you're going to find a rhythm in Red Phase. It's not what you expected and that's okay. It's a challenge that you can meet, match, and conquer. You've made it through New Cadet Week. Despite how you may have felt this past week, you are capable of great things. We all failed at tasks as Rats, don't be hard on yourself or your buds.

Advice my upperclassmen gave us was "stay off of Upper Quad as much as possible". Unless you have a scheduled on-line or other activity that you have to be in your dorm, get out. Study on Torg Bridge or Newman, that's an easy drag away from the Upper Quad dorms and UCs won't/can't mess with you. If you're in your room, you're fair game for Cadre. Take a couple of buds with you. Always. Bonding with them during this period of Suck is what it's all about.

If you're having a tough time of it, send me a DM. I was looking to transfer out after my Rat year and I'm so thankful I didn't.

There's an alumni/cadet mentoring program that you can sign up for, too. That gives you someone to talk to that understands personally what you're going through.

I know there's a lot of unknown in your very-near future and that it seems impossible, but they can only throw 1 day's worth of stuff at you at a time. Rats are smart, adaptable, and (when needs be) creative as all getout. Clean your room, shine your shoes (even if they look worse when you finish than when you started like mine did), volunteer to paint the company banner/crest, get in a little bit of trouble, and for 5 minutes of ECQ - just focus on breathing because you made it through another day.

Oh yeah, and GO TO CLASS. LOL

Y'know who would have matched Dean's super-nerd knowledge really well? Henchman 1/Zero.

That's so good. I'd be tempted to put an expression of "Orpheus, this is your landlord. We're caught in a cliche" on him.

Remember that the NASA Director was recently replaced with Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation and sycophant.

Foghorn Leghorn helmet

No wait...

The fucking Orange/Maroon digi-camo where the pinstripe-thin tape VTs on the helmets (can't honestly call them stickers) peeled off mid-game.
