    Bad Parenting In Public

    I took my 5 year old son to the South Florida Fair, and let’s just say that place is a “Hodgepodge of Americana” He went on one of those “fun house” type rides where kids climb ladders and go down slides. He got confused on where to go and some pork chop 8 year old girl knocked him over...

    Disney Tips & Tricks

    So, I’ve decided to donate a large portion of my salary to the house of mouse for my son. We’re staying 4 nights in a Cabin at Ft Wilderness, and we’re gonna try to do all 4 parks. Been about 15 years since I’ve been to Disney, and things sure are different. Magic Bands, Genie Plus, Etc. I’m...

    Let’s Talk Positives

    That game was a DISASTER, but we need some therapeutic positivity so we don’t collectively tailspin into a fentanyl habit trying to cope. Here goes: Armstrong could be good a good DC, 1st play not withstanding. The best defense is a good offense (as is wearing different jerseys on ST :mad: )...

    #1 Michigan vs #2 Washington: The Old Penix Is Still Going To Town

    Penix has once again risen to satisfy those who were lucky to take in his impressive performance this Week one. He was going deep on the Broncos all night long and was able to penetrate their end zone 5 times. I thought Penix had scored for the last time last session. Instead, he’s going to...

    The Green Jacket Thread

    Sunday at the Masters is the best. Who ya got, who ya rooting for? I’m rooting for Speith. Seems like a good guy, and he appears to be coming out of a slump. Anyone but the LIV guys winning will make me happy.

    Litigation, Who Has War Stories?

    As I’m sure you’re dying to know, I’m an attorney (unfortunately). I’ve had more than my share of cases. It’s been my experience, that unless it’s a decent sized case ($100,000+), it’s basically not worth the stress and expense, even if you win and get your attorneys fees repaid. For...

    NIL ruined football. Playoff Committee, “Hold my beer”

    College football playoff triples in size to 12 teams for 2024 season.The importance of regular season games is severely diluted and conference championships are as prized as a Cracker Jack toy. Gone are the days of every game matters, but at least more money is made for our “student athletes”...

    The U.S. Open & LIV v. PGA Thread

    US open starts today. Sorry Augusta, it’s the best tourney of the year. Nasty roughs, different course every year, and ANYONE can play in it if you qualify. A true meritocracy, which is a rarity these days. This year’s open definitely has a different feel with many of the top players...

    Easy Dinners

    The dinner time thread is meant to show off, when you bring your A game. I don’t want to take away from that thread. However, 90% of the time we’re not eating Venison stakes with a red wine reduction, or paella that’s been simmering for 2 hours I want to start a thread of easy meals, that...

    The Gators Standard: We didn’t get shut out

    When Foley announced: "We're not competing with School X, We're not in an arms race with anybody. The amount we spend in anything is because that's the right amount for Florida to spend, and it isn't based on what another school is spending” It became apparent that the Proper Gators Standard...

    Why couldn’t we stop the same run play?

    To the x’s & o’s guys, or those who would torture themselves by rewatching that dumpster fire, why couldn’t we stop the same run play between the tackles the Corndogs kept repeating like reruns of “The Office” on Comedy Central? I know the answer is that Grantham Sucks. But why did he suck?

    August In Fla Sucks, Change My Mind

    August sucks. It’s so damn hot: all you can really do is move from one air conditioned spot to another. If you leave your car parked outside for more than an hour, the interior is hotter than Hades. Im lucky to have a pool, but in August it magically turns into a bath tub with close to 90...

    Reddit and GameStop

    Anyone hear of this story about a bunch of people on Reddit getting together to gobble up GameStop stock, thereby raising the price of the stock from $19.26 on 12/31 to a high of $354 a few days ago. these Redditors killed it it on options, some dude saying he made over $11MM on GameStop this...

    A battle to the death.

    My work buddies have been debating this. Normally, a guy with a gun would be the first round pick, but it looks like it’s a “run of the mill shotgun” with limited range and capacity. The rats would ultimately get him. I think 10,000 rats and a pack of silverback gorillas is the way to go...

    Very Basic Home Repair Help

    I was fortunate to buy a home, even more fortunate to buy one with a pool. I always thought I could do the basics, but I’m getting humbled by my lack of knowledge on a lot of home repair. I see guys putting up pergolas, installing built in bars, etc, and I was proud I installed led lights that...

    Screw Sony

    I just purchased a 65 inch Sony. A bad a$$ tv. However, to put the legs on the tv, you slide the legs between the tv and a set of screws. The weight of the tv holds the legs in place. However, since you are using the tv’s weight to keep the legs attached, there’s some instability. To fix...

    Lawn Thatch

    Proud to say, I just purchased a sweet home. Unfortunately, the previous owner ignored all lawn care. The yard is full of weeds and other funk. I’m far from an expert in lawn care, but it looks like I have a thatch overgrowth problem. Lawn is mushy, and trees look like they are dying from...

    A little less Yee Haw this year.

    This was discussed in chat box, but I think this has earned its own thread. anyone who has driven from Tampa to the treasure coast or Palm Beach knows the desert inn in Yee Haw. It’s been closed for a year, with hopes of a remodel. Now, It looks like another part of real Florida has died. I...

    A great Gator, a greater man was lost

    On December 23, a dear family friend and great Gator passed away. His annual Florida-Florida State parties were legendary, but that is nothing compared to the good he did for his community, country and family. He was an original, and will never be replaced. Prayers for his family...
