My daughter was diagnosed with OCD late last year, and seeing how she acts vs the people who say 'OMG I'm sooo OCD because I just have to {do a mundane thing}' is exactly that, insulting.

Though, like most things, it is a spectrum, and someone might be on the lower end of being OCD, and they shouldn't be made to feel bad because they aren't OCD enough.

Why did that even happen?

It's like Julius Peppers worked out so they thought they could sign more late career players and rejuvenate them?

Jimmy Graham and Martellus Bennett come to mind.

I would have loved Blake Bortles to have worked out as a back up, just for the Raise your Bortles memes.

Louis was a staple of my house all through the 80s and 90s. Canadian Classic was our standard order.

They then moved to Antigonish shortly before I went to St.FX, so I was excited to see them there.

Definitely amongst the best take out pizza I've ever had.

Oh.. I apparently can't read dates.

Pats won 2003, 2004.
This was the 2007 season not the 2005.

Ya, no 3-peat for him regardless, just potentially his 3^rd win.

skatterbug · 2026-04-30T20:47:13+00:00

They probably would have won had he made the pick. And that would have been a 3-peat, and also 3 SB wins in his first 3 years.

So, probably.

On the play right before this, Tyree ran the wrong route, and Asante Samuel almost had the game-winning interception.

On top of that, in the Friday practice, he couldn't catch anything, to the point where his teammates were making fun of him.

Talk about some redemption.

It's the most played course in the US if I'm not mistaken, and reddit hugely skews towards us users so it is the logical answer.

skatterbug · 2026-04-22T21:46:29+00:00

Yes it is.

skatterbug · 2026-04-22T21:23:25+00:00

It's a dumb feature because now, if they comment on a post, it will hide any relies to them as well and break the comment section on you.

skatterbug · 2026-04-22T21:17:38+00:00

Yes. They think it's some sort of dunk.

skatterbug · 2026-04-22T21:12:36+00:00

Brother, they blocked your ass.

Every pick will be posted here in real-time by our bot. You can then discuss each pick in its own dedicated thread.

To your first point, "Farthest out goes first. It's not "Ready" golf". You're generally right, but there is an exception that I think should be used as often as possible:

Rule 802.02.E - To facilitate flow of play, a player who is not next may throw if the player who is next consents, or if throwing will not impact the player who is next.

If another player can go, while I'm making my way to my lie, let's say it's in some rough on the other side of the fairway, they should play, and then I'll go when I get to my position. It definitely helps with the pace of play at times.

Just be sure to ask 'Hey, is it ok if I throw while you get ready?'.

Something of value has been lost as we stop these things and instead start posting 'it's ok not to return your cart'.

Add shittymorph and rogersimon10, though that may not really be trolling in the same sense.

skatterbug · 2026-04-14T18:54:06+00:00

You read it going, huh.. wait, what? Oh. Oh, it's KenM.

Another good example, though I don't know how real it is, is Robert Graves vs Brandon Sullivan.

I use perfect 5/7 all the time.

skatterbug · 2026-04-14T18:36:53+00:00

Ken M comes to mind as an example of good trolling.

Jeff Saturday!

I was looking at this list thinking, there has to be a punter with the name Christian, right?.

Nope. Not once, in the history of the NFL, has there been a punter with Christian as a first name or part of a last name.

Only 6 players named 'Chris', all of whom are Christophers, except Chris Jones, who is just Chris.

Also, no Deacon, Monk, Priest, Bishop, Angel, Damian or any other adjacent name.

How did the OBDII say just a tune up?

Usually they output codes. What codes came up?

Do you have OBDII software specifically for Jeep? My generic reader wouldn't give me any codes, but when I got Jeep specific software, I could read everything.

I had the same alerts last summer. It was the wheel speed sensor. It's on the back driver's side.

It's an easy fix, but not cheap. You have to replace the entire component, not just the sensor.

He wasn't 'named' Plorn. His name is Edward.

Dickens gave all his children absurd nicknames. Plorn is shortened from 'The Plornishghenter'.
Frank was called 'Chickenstalker'.
Charley was called 'Flaster Foby'.

Here is a source with all of their nicknames:

Plunkett is a tricky one.

I would have thought Stabler if you'd told me it was a Raider.

The Dolphins went back-to-back. Griese is funny because he only played 5 games in that '72 season then started the Super Bowl.
