There's a ceiling as to how much I can like a fantasy show like GOT. Same thing applies to Walking Dead, Star Wars, Batman, etc.

I don't care how well-written or well-acted it is, or how cool the special effects are. If what I'm seeing on the screen could never happen, then I'll never really be all that invested in it.

There's a certain level that some shows reach (Wire, Mad Men, Sopranos, etc.) that fantasy shows just can't. Because they're, you know, fantasy.

Because science and whatnot.

I ran into an old middle school teammate in the Monticello pool hall last week, one I hadn't seen since high school. We have nothing in common today but sat and talked for 15 minutes of the random verbal abuse we each took 22 years ago. Good times.

Congrats on living the opening lines of "Glory Days".

That being said, I've not seen mention much in Gyero of the world of competitive dance. The psychological warfare waged there is un effing real. My four year old is a "recreational" dancer meaning we're not a slave but the recital tonight is a mix of kids like mine and those reprogrammed, joyless fembots. Last night during a rehearsal the choreographer chastised a 9 year old for her hair being "too fuzzy" (again a closed recital), jumped down a couple 6 year olds for smiling too much in the intro, and destroyed a high school girl for not being enthusiastic enough in the walk off. Add to that the fact half of the dances were based around Rihanna/Beyoncé and I'm DONE. Seriously what the hell. WHAT THE HELL man.

My daughter did one session of dance, and we attended one recital. That looked like an insane world there. I mean some of the dads of the older dancers just looked defeated. I can't imagine how much that costs going through HS. And the payoff? Before the 3 1/2 hour recital (that you have to sit through to see 15 seconds of your kid) the director got onstage and proudly announced that one of the alums had a job on a Disney cruise.

So yeah, buying my kid a new soccer ball every few years is a pretty good deal.

Watched Super Bowl I digitally remastered (excellent quality) last night on NFL Network. What an era.

Then wake up to read about the Steelers using robotic tackling dummys to avoid injury.

Millennials and dense FAGGETS are killing football.

Anybody else watching The Detour on TBS? Catching up on it, and it's pretty GD hilarious. Has the girl who played Raylan's love interest from Justified.

My daughter's dance recital is this weekend, and I received an email not 30 seconds ago with a big long itinerary, instructions, etc..., and it had this little caveat in it (unreal that stuff like that has to be said, but it kind of does):

Advisory Committee statement: Profanity in front of children, anger directed at children or rude, argumentative behavior toward Lori, Suzanne or other volunteers will NOT be tolerated. This serves as your only warning. You will be asked to leave immediately and will be banned from any volunteer positions.

At least once a season, I get an email from LYSA telling parents to please quit yelling at the officials (who are typically high school kids).

We had a ref walk off during a game because she kept getting comments from the other team's parents. She threatened to throw them all out, they laughed at her, and she walked off. Then her mom came over and started yelling at the parents until some other HS kid came over and told everyone to STFU and he'd finish the game.

Why would there be "anger directed at children" at a dance recital? Besides their ****** dancing, of course.

My daughter did two years of dance. The dance season is basically the same as a school year. Starts at beginning of September and goes thru May. This was something my daughter really wanted to do and was 7-years old at the time when the new season would start. I was informed by the lady who ran the studio that my daughter was a "little old to be starting dance." I laughed at her and she said it was no offense but most girls start at 4 or 5. I told her I was sorry my daughter waited so late in life to have this desire. Paid $40 a month for classes and then there's the different shoes, leotards, etc and that's not even getting to the recital which then depending the number of dances they are in, it's a different costume for each dance. And then the practice recital is exactly like it's described, a couple of the instructors tearing into these kids.

Every night I picked her up from practice they used the same songs all year long that would be used in the recital so from September to May, these girls would do the same drill over and over and over again to the same three songs over that 8-month period. Just seemed completely miserable to me.

Dance and Cheer moms are the pinnacle. There is a certain sort of bonding and rite of passage in 2-a-day practices/yelling at youth baseball/sports that I kind of cherish. Taught me to not be a ***** or quitter. My coach was crazy stern but not an *******. MCF had a guy around that was f*cking psycho, also the crazy dude from the LLWS run, Lock and Load. Not that it's right but at least I can make a case it helps development. (I am not talking about cussing coaches, players or certainly refs.)

Dance cheer though, shew. That's some really effed up stuff. I can't imagine the confusing signals that environment is sending. Saw a dance girl yesterday that was no older than 8 and in something that a 20 year old should be wearing... if she's a hooker. The moms are insane.

Daughter was in dance for one year. Just one for the very reason you mentioned.

They tried to teach a bunch of 5 year olds moves that the early days of MTV would question.

I hope none of your kids get yelled at so they turn out to be huge pansies like their dads are already.

Maybe lil Harper Rae didn't stick that landing because she was too busy F'ing around when she should've been practicing. But of course Papa GYERO and his travelbrags isn't going to say anything to his princess so her coach has to. How the hell is Harper Rae going to function when she starts working for P&G after college and realizes everything doesn't go her way all the time? She's going to go home and cry to Daddy GYERO.

I'm tired of you Daddybloggers raising soft ******* kids. Maybe you should yell at them more.

Yep. My kid dances her *** off to any tune but she doesn't like going to dance. That's a problem.

My kids instructor, not the overall choreographer mind you, missed last night for a family situation. A prop was misplaced according to one of the competitive dance moms in the act immediately following my daughters which caused her kid to have to swerve in her walk in. This brought the show to a complete stop as said mom jumped on stage and shoved the prop behind the curtain much like an Olineman would attack a 7 man sled. The eye rolling ***** look she gave EVERYONE in the auditorium was amazing.

I'm heading to Dicks tomorrow for a kids soccer net and just signed up for swim lessons, eff that noise.

Kids are starting swim team this summer.

Spend a few hours one night a week sitting outside having some collides with other parents, kids messing around with each other in the pool, and occasionally they race.

$40 a month would be a treat. We pay $60. And it's $30 per ticket for the SHOWCASE at the end of the year. AND you "have to" make sure "you're child" is responsible for selling 10 tickets. AND AND THE ******** LADY OWNER INSTRUCTOR DOES A SOLO DANCE ROUTINE AT SOME POINT DURING THE 2 1/2 HOUR PROGRAM.

F*ck me to death.

I got shipwrecked with a former UC head coach Tuesday night in some beach bar in Florida.

When I brought up 2010 he jumped up and showed how to play good defense. Tried to talk him into drunk dialing Cal. I still don't feel well but pretty everloving random experience.

The wife and I have started casually talking about kids in the next year or two and pretty much all of the names she's throwing out are straight out of the GYERO child name generator. So much so that Brooks has been the least pretincious boys name she's thrown out.
