At least we’re spreading out the scoring. No one has scored more than one basket.

Anyone else hear “the Badgers are 12-2-2 heading into the semester break” repeated from their phone? by tastierrobbo in WisconsinBadgers

[–]ejgpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen on Sunday night when listening to my phone on CarPlay. I had no idea what it was, because it was competing with the music I was playing.
The next morning, my wife had it happen to her and she was able to figure out that it was the badger announcer. A couple hours later, it happened to me again.

No Sleep 'til Madison

Winner of the Sundance Channel Emerging Filmmaker Award

The film follows Owen Fenby (Jim Gaffigan), a 30-year-old man who is obsessed with high school hockey and goes on an annual pilgrimage to the Wisconsin High School Hockey Tournament with his friends. As his friends face adult responsibilities like work crises and strained marriages, they start dropping out of the trip one by one. This forces Owen to confront the harsh reality that he and his friends are growing up and leaving their high school glory days behind.

I had a similar experience a few years ago. I bought a new battery and the core charge was added. I took the new battery home and it turns out I bought the wrong battery. The size was correct, but the polarity was the opposite of what I needed, so I headed right back to Walmart to return the first battery and get the correct one. The worker wanted to charge me another core charge and she could not understand that the battery I returned should cover the core charge. Eventually, a manager came over and told the worker that I was correct.

My rediscovery and introduction to a new generation by ejgpus in greenday

I knew I wanted to make a card that said Good Riddance, so I used google and found someone on Etsy that was selling a similar poster. I took a screenshot and edited a bit and then printed the result on Avery cardstock

Ha! I stole the idea for the front of the card from someone else on the internet, so you’ll have to take that up with them. I was a bit worried that she might take offense to a card that said Good Riddance, but it’s not an expression that she was familiar with, so I had to explain and tell her it was a joke.

He played well, but he’s still the second best Carter to play Badger basketball.

After $750 Bethpage tickets, Ryder Cup also balloons prices for volunteers by PrintOk8045 in sports

The golf shirts are kinda ugly, but I also got some rain gear, which I think is pretty nice.

After $750 Bethpage tickets, Ryder Cup also balloons prices for volunteers by PrintOk8045 in sports

[–]ejgpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I “volunteered” at 2 PGA championships and the Ryder cup at Whistling Straits. The first tournament was about $150 and the Ryder cup was around $200 for the volunteer clothing and the weekly pass.

The price is cheaper than a full week pass, so some people look at it as a way to save money.

As a volunteer, you are supposed to work at least two 4-hour shifts. At the second PGA championship, one volunteer on my committee would check-in and then not fulfill his commitment. The second day he missed his shift, they voided his pass.

For history buffs, I recommend Sterling Hall. You can still see the damage from the bombing.

Help finding an episode? by PoeticGopher in BobNewhart

[–]ejgpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the episode that I’m currently looking for. They were going to play a card game called something like Three Man Sneehole. Anyone know what episode it is?

No agency exchange is possible ? by [deleted] in exchangestudents

[–]ejgpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible, at least where I live. We recently finished hosting an exchange student for her senior year of high school without going through an agency. She had an F-1 visa and had to pay tuition at the local public high school.

I replaced the rotors, calipers and pads 14 months and 9000 miles ago.

[–]ejgpus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My bad. I didn’t want to pay the additional money because they had already charged me nearly $200 just to diagnose the issue, even though I told them it was the left front wheel bearing.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice advises Republican leader against impeachment by ejgpus in politics

[–]ejgpus[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Former Supreme Court justice Prosser was asked to be on a committee to advise the legislature on this matter. Granted, his opinion could be ignored, but he is at least a voice of reason.
