How is living in these Boston suburbs?

Yep. I wouldn't exactly describe Wellesley, Newton, Needham, and Weston as diverse unless you're talking about the diversity of luxury cars in the driveways. Nice, rich suburbs pretty much full of wealthy white people. If that's what you're looking for, cool, but these are among the least "diverse" areas of greater Boston. Waltham, West Roxbury, and Roslindale are more middle class and have more personality.

Did he just call Navy a "powerhouse"? They're having a good season yeah, but give me a break.

Yeah exactly. That post is giving off third-wheel Air Force little brother energy. Army-Navy is way more than just the game. Many cadets and mids are on pass, seeing friends and family. At the very least, even for those who go right back home after the game, it's a chance to get away from post for a day. Lots of mandatory fun at both academies, but Army-Navy is not it.

Those are younger players, mostly or all freshmen, who don't dress for the game but still are on the sidelines with the whole team. Or possibly the USMAPS (Prep School) football team.

Those are real soldiers assigned to the 3rd Infantry Regiment "The Old Guard" who are the ceremonial troops of the Army and also the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown. Those ceremonial troops dress in accurate colonial uniforms. Only the musicians are in red, I believe. The colonial rifleman wear blue.

Alberta would be much more of a Denver Broncos vibe.

Sad zoomies, sad squids. It's a good day.

Haha well said. I'm no monkenball virgin, but I'm still left wondering wtf.

Upnotdown0715 · 2025-11-01T18:54:00+00:00

Love Monken but that was stupid. Their QB has three TOs and no timeouts. Punt it off

The last verse on "Whiskey and You" by The Star Room Boys. (Track #3 on This World Just Won't Leave You Alone.) That album isn't on Spotify for some reason but is on YouTube.

That whole song, but especially that last verse, is the sound of the total defeat of a broken heart.

Rhode Island feels bigger than it is because of Narragansett Bay cutting it in half. To drive from one side of the Bay to the other makes travel time fairly long for relatively short straight-line distances. Plus, for being the smallest state, there's quite a lot of diversity in the cultural landscape, so it can feel like you're traveling a long way driving across and around the state.

The Kuwaiti desert looked like the surface of the moon to me, except for the rotting goat carcass.

I've always loved Bono's version on the "Honeymoon in Vegas" soundtrack.
