    OT: Classic Far Side Dinosaurs (link)

    I have the two-volume set of his cartoons. It cost $100 about twenty years ago. Worth every penny!

    I hate soccer and won’t watch the World Cup Thread.

    But would you rather watch your children or grandchildren play soccer or tee ball? Coached both and there isn't even a close comparison!

    Penn State needs to embrace Elon Musk.

    He would want to have a say in current majors, with a free hand to DOGE them. Anything along the lines of African Studies would be swiftly axed.

    Book(s) you are currently reading.

    Myth America, a collection of essays written by current historians, edited by Kruse and Zelizer, and White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America, by Anthea Butler. Both are provocative explorations of what lies beneath the surface of standard cultural narratives.

    OT: National Lampoon Magazine.

    Sat with some buddies in the back of our 10th grade biology class, trying not to laugh out loud at an issue that contained the article "How to pick up chicks", circa '71-72. On plying a date with alcohol: "The rule of thumb is that 7 stiff ones should oil her up for the 8th"! On skinny girls...

    “Alabama, Kalen DeBoer agree to new 7-year, $87.5M contract”

    The current president of U of AL has a base salary of $800K plus a "performance" incentive of $150K. So, the effing football coach earns a significant multiple of the university president. Yeah, our culture has its priorities together. Marx was right: "Sports is the opiate of the masses."

    Robots run half marathon race in China. Watch the pre-race testing for a good laugh.

    We will bury you (with our robots)!

    Chaz Coleman and Tennessee in the News

    If I were 19 years old and being paid $3.5 mil, I'd have mental issues too. I wouldn't know what to do with the $$! And just how much are his collective sophomore year professors being paid? What a sorry joke. Every story like this confirms my disgust with prolegiate sports. So glad to know that...

    Jeremiah Smith Offered $10M to transfer

    Blissfully done with college football. I like to stop by the board for the occasional thread that summarizes my dissociation with it, along with some of the amusing comments. I'm more interested in beaver dams than Beaver Stadium nowadays.

    '26 NFL Mock Drafts thread

    That's the best part of having it both ways, like when a securities analyst says of a company's prospects that he is "cautiously optimistic". If they don't execute, he is cautious; if they do, he is optimistic.

    I am optimistic about the future.

    I am pessimistic about the past, and past is prologue so far as human nature goes.

    All knowing board. Chemo question.

    Having the best oncology team is the first thing. Feel free to get a second opinion on your proposed treatment. I didn't see you mention radiation. IMO, that is worse than chemo. If you don't require it, that is a real plus. But what with cancer, you have to do what you have to do. You...

    as an add on to @lionjim, really cool math facts, 7 x 13 = 28

    Waking up to a guffaw is always welcome!
