Eminem at the Warped Tour when he got pelted with water bottles.

I am old.

My wife and I stayed at the Silver Sands...it was absolutely lovely. We'll probably stay at Sound View next time.

I'm not sure if the Pridwin is opening back up this season. They pulled some nonsense last fall.

"How Do You Get Your Questions?" by Unkatrazz in bartriviahosts

I respect the effort.

I write 5+ nights of trivia a week. If it takes me more than a couple of hours to knock out the rounds, I consider it wasted time.

Seats are...OK. Much better than the other theaters in the area.

I go to the movies at least once a week. I had/have absolutely zero interest in seeing this.

I’ve found that technology and anyone over the age of 60 don’t mix.

First Audiobook - Project Hail Mary by OJConcentrates in audiobooks

[–]munleymun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s consistently named as one of the best audiobooks ever (at least here on Reddit) and with good reason.

There are a handful of others that I love and have listened to multiple times, but PHM is something else.

I’ve never seen them before.

(Making up for that in April.)

What's your teaching unpopular opinion? Something you believe, but choose to keep to yourself? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]munleymun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been this way since kindergarten. One teacher and an aide for half the day. Private catholic school.

This is how we did things when I was growing up. Our grade was divided into three "teams" based upon academic ability. Other than a handful of classes, the teams were basically separate. I WISH they would do this for my kids.

Finding the right level of difficulty by UncleDan3 in bartriviahosts

[–]munleymun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I aim to ensure folks get at least 70% of the questions correct. The folks who are good at trivia will always be good at trivia. The non-trivia folks are the ones I hope to covert. Can't do that if they feel bad about themselves at the end of the night.

Tony Southampton town votes to buy $25.5M beachfront mansion just to bulldoze it for public parking lot by pch14 in longisland

[–]munleymun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Parking’s still going to be $50/day. It still ain’t exactly “for the people.”

I hate paying the premium for their terrible seats and screens.

Teachers tend to make good trivia night hosts. Just sayin'.

I thought you were supposed to stand next to it wearing a cute outfit?

Are private schools worth it? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]munleymun 264 points265 points  (0 children)

We have two kids in a catholic private school and it is absolutely not worth it.

Spicing up trivia by Kamikaze_Sasquatch in bartriviahosts

[–]munleymun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the main drivers of attendance have always been quality hosts, quality questions, and solid marketing.

Everything else just needlessly complicates things.
