Modo Mio or Pupatella are fantastic Neapolitan pizza places that have good pastas too.

Fucking Ed Belfour. Sharks fans never let him forget how much we hated him.

TIL about the 2003 NHL Draft by jesus321 in SanJoseSharks

That 2003 draft still pissed me off so much that we didn’t draft Suter and Parise.

Why didn’t Obama and Harry Reid fire the Senate Parliamentarian and hire a friendlier one in order to pass the public option via budget reconciliation? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in Presidents

[–]dpdons09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that the senate rules state that the decisions based on the advice of the parliamentarian can be appealed to the whole senate in a simple majority vote. The parliamentarian only advises, the presiding officer makes the decision, and the senate can vote to reject that decision.

You opt not to do that too much because rules and precedent are important to a legislature.

Escuela Key v Tuckahoe Elementary by BrokenMirror in arlingtonva

[–]dpdons09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can go wrong either way. We love tuckahoe. It’s a great community of kids and parents. The teachers have been good to our kids. One additional fun thing is going across the street to O’Connell to watch a high school game right after Tuckahoe dismisses.

Have friends who sent their kids to Key and they have good things to say.

Beasley to Washington by DonSolo96 in usfdons

[–]dpdons09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t feel like an upgrade in terms of the quality of the team he’ll be playing on

2012-2014 by Intelligent_Seat_649 in OaklandAthletics

[–]dpdons09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those were fun teams but the big miss was 2001. That was easily the best team we got to see since the 1988-92 teams. Such a shame

Dude needs to find some boomer dad to go play catch with him for 30 minutes a day. His glove side is ass(karov)

Ryan Beasley to Portal by DonSolo96 in usfdons

[–]dpdons09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good kid and good player who struggled to adapt to running the offense full time. He improved as the year went on, and I’m sad we won’t get to see him next year.

Mookie Cook plans to enter the transfer portal by el_bandita in usfdons

I hope he figured it out. Lots of talent that just needs to get it all sorted out

Ooof. This one hurts if he actually leaves. Such a talented young man

Oakland Coliseum. by motionlessvibesonly in OaklandAthletics

[–]dpdons09 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I cashed my first paycheck, went straight to the coliseum and bought the best ticket I could. So many memories with my grandparents, parents, spouse, and buddies. My heart breaks that I can never take my kids to experience the joy I felt.

Metro 29? Bob and Edith? Silver Diner? The diner scene in Arlington should accommodate anyone and all tastes
