- I find “babe” to a male off-putting but you do you, stud.

- That said, every now and again to spice things up, I’ll replace “tomorrow” with “manana.” People get a kick out of it.

- Can’t say I’ve ever had a falling out with a buddy before. Have had a few I’ve lost touch with but when I see them, it’s all good.

- PTI - throwback jerseys have been coming back for the last decade. I happened upon a high school basketball game 5 years ago and every kid in the student section had some kind of throwback jersey on. What I’m saying is start paying more attention to high schoolers, loser. Kochs in downtown Cincinnati has a sick selection of throwbacks.

- My wife is overall not cheap but she’s very cheap about certain things like getting gas. Feel like I’m always the one filling up the tank. Speaking of, down $77 today.

- I miss Wayne too. He’s original unlike the rest of you losers.

- I’m at an all-time low on religion but that’s mostly because of KingLlama and his teachings.

-"ok sport" ot "thanks sport". works every time.

-I'm a babe/hon guy. Dear is used for females. Never meant to be pejorative.

^had a PM of a client that I had known for years call me "punkin". She retired last year. Sad.

'Pal' is definitely patronizing and is wayyy underutilized, imo.

'Bud' can go either way, depends on how you emphasize it.

'Guy' means you're an idiot and I'm definitely talking down to you.

'Bub' is mostly endearing and is grandfathered in the daily vernacular.

Maybe it’s a **HOT TAKE** but I can’t fing stand it when a bartender/server chick insists on flirtingly referring to every single dude as “baby.”

GTFO here with that nonsense. I’m not that smart, but if you’re calling me, the truck driver next to me, the morbidly obese car salesman across the way, and the ghostly pail computer geek sitting by himself all by the exact same cutesy nickname, it’s a really hard sell. And I’m not buying, “baby.”

-Spent yesterday in Winchester helping a buddy and his wife move there from Murray. Man, I’m too old for that **** at this point. Oh well, had nothing better to do. First time in Winchester in almost 20 years, no idea why they decided to light there.

-First real vacay in a few years coming up next week. Already have a charter fishing trip set up with my son-in-law and his 12yo son, on my dime of course. Other than that all I really want to do is be a bum and eat my weight in seafood. Fingers crossed

-Down 20lbs since since the first of May. No booze and only one coke, which was with a “cheat” meal, combined with walking an insane amount of miles. Feels good

-Speaking of, I bought a pair of Brooks when I began walking. Already have 260 miles on them and they are beginning to “feel” different. The thought of replacing shoes every 3-400 miles isn’t pleasant. Any GYERO recs?

-An unnamed poster recently emailed me and dropped a “Doggie” on me right from the start, so todays discussion has been quite beneficial. Should have responded with a “No problem, bubbie” but didn’t think of it at the time, my bad.

Junior is my go-to for kids working. At the club, kid working had his back to me, was about 10-15 feet away. I needed his assistance so I yelled, "Hey junior". He knew who I was talking to.

If you got a match - hopefully your plan has a year end true up. If not, you may be leaving company $ on the table.
Company is doing a billion dollars a month and has matched 100% the last 2 years, and I get a profit share on top of the match.

The one thing they do that’s weird is the match is a one time deposit usually the middle of March so I do have to make until then for my money!

- Read an excellent book a few years back that was behind-the-scenes with Kentucky HS basketball, specifically the Scott County boys' program, and there were several quotes by Coach Billy Hicks where he called guys "Honey", "Sweetheart", etc. And not in a mocking way, it was just kinda normal for the guy. Great coach, but I looked at him differently from that point on, tbh.

- Feels like there oughta be a weight limit on dudes mowing their grass shirtless. I don't know what that limit should be, I just know that I'm over it.

- Is the war in Ukraine still going on? That place disappeared from the news with the quickness.

- It's going to be interesting to see if this "GREATEST CLASS IN LOUISVILLE FOOTBALL HISTORY" actually comes to fruition. It's an impressive list of commits/visitors they've got over there. Can they keep them through what will probably be another meh Satterfield season.

- That's great news about The Athletic. For all the grief we give Tucker, he's the best UK beat writer of our lifetimes. And their coverage of nearly all sports, especially college sports, is pretty unrivaled.

- Mike Fields' weekly Friday column on Kentucky high school sports was required reading throughout my childhood and adolescence. His was the career path I wanted to take for a long time...focus on HS sports from August through early June, write the occasional Reds piece during the summer. A different gym/stadium every Friday night. Still sounds like a great gig, frankly.

You’re good if they do a year end match. If it was by pay period with no true up, you’d be missing out. You good!

There’s a crackhead like raving over “Brides Cake Ice Cream” with 2 of the lovely women who live here ....

But the stuff is crystalline and not overly flavorful ...really just vanilla ice cream on steroids — can’t understand the fuss at all

Waffle Cone ice cream has the right amount of creaminess, caramel and crunch - can’t go wrong

McDonalds - who i avoid - offers a slushie that’s JUST like the Polar Bear adorned Icees that used to be more commonplace than they are now — those things are VERY good

They aren’t overly sweet or crystalline and they feature that delightful (but puzzling) blend of sweetness, soft texture and carbon dioxide aftertaste

Brain freezes however - are The Suck

Never been sure why ...but they literally send me into about 3-5 mins of agonizing rage — like. smacking myself grunting purposefully regurgitating to make it STOP rage — while my throat burns and i almost faint

LOVED fireworks as a kid (ie — for decades) ....i am very VERY capable of taking your modest assortment and setting them off in a BIG PRODUCTION KIND OF WAY

Last “incident” was a good 10-12 years ago so i’m practically professional

LOVED those throw back jerseys and i’m not really into baseball - NBA has some cool ones too i think

Obligatory yearning for Power K throwbacks for our football team inserted <<<<< ~~~~~ HERE

July 4th weekend features my youngest going to UK orientation on the 1st and my nephew getting married on the 3rd - nice infusion of faith - hope - love for the family

Stay cool, friends — stay frosty

Dennis Miller - and the guys that impersonate Dennis Miller - are really the only people I’ve ever heard call men “babe.” Not a fan tbh.

Ron White and Kenny Tarmac’s “scooter/shooter” combo also doesn’t work for me FWIW.

I call people “man” a lot. A quick, “Hey, thanks, man” usually gets the job done. It’s become such a habit that I’ve even said that to a few women accidentally. But it’s 2022 so it’s OK, I reckon.

Kinda disappointed I didn’t get more likes off my Randoms yesterday. KMA.

My wife makes fun of me because it can be a complete stranger and I’ll call them “ol buddy”. I also have some old man trait about me where I’ll call people honey. It doesn’t matter if it’s a man, woman, or child. For example, if I see something needing correcting it’ll be, “now honey, you don’t do it like that.” Had a teacher lady back in high school who used to call people “young hero”.

Use “Son” when being condescending.
Use “whistle dick” when talking about youngsters.
Use “dick for brains” when dealing with an idiot.
Use “Roadie” for old friends.
Use “Ladies” when talking about women. (Unless they’re just straight up Ho’s)
Use “Inbred, mouth breathing, goat f¥cker” for everyone else.

I forgot who was the original Dick Fingers but I’ve applied that liberally across multiple sports and levels to this day.

Rarely is there a “you know it when you see it” like Dick Fingers…..like oh hey there Dorian Baker nice to see you dick finger another one away, Dick Fingers…..or hey there freshman year Nick Richards, or should I call you Dick Nickfingers….

I like to do a very sarcastic, dripping with condescension remark of "Did ya?" or "Do ya?" or "Are ya?" or some similar derivative, particularly when a person makes a statement about themselves that is well-known or easily ascertained.

Examples:

Guy at work-- "Yeah, sometimes I get a little diarrhea of the mouth."

"Do ya?"

Wife-- "I took a gummy and overslept my Zoom meeting with my boss."

"Did ya?"

Bachelor Cousin-- "If I were married, I'd make sure my wife...."

"Would ya?"

3 seed from the West.

Steph an all timer man. Props to the rest of squad, especially Klay & the culture. So fun

But little Curry, the ANTI NBA prospect, has them contending or winning literally every year they’re somewhat healthy. 6 Finals (4 titles) In 8 years for a dismal franchise before he arrived??


Fuc* KD.


Incredible.

😍
