Unfortunately, because you were pulled out of the first game early, we can't officially credit you with a doubleheader.  Well done for scoring with the roommate though.  More points are awarded for a roommate than a cousin, but still less than best friend.  Mother/daughter remains the ultimate conquest, but that's best left for those of us with expertise in such matters.

Well, there's a follow up to this story, but as a 65 year old man I feel a little creepy relaying it detail in a public forum. I'll just say this and leave it to your imagination: the girlfriend came back, and no one was mad about it.

man, I am too impatient for that. Got a gas cookie this spring, and have wore it out with all the cookout we've done.

Had a charcoal grill for a few years, and never could cook well on it. #TeamHankHill

I’m a huge flamer!  Wait… that didn’t come out right.  I’ve got my trusty original Webber, BBG, reverse offset smoker, and a fire pit I’ve only burned “clean good wood” in and will at times cook of that.  Big pyro here. 

You gas guys, I don’t understand. Different strokes for different folks.  I enjoy the process of preheating, getting the coals right, dialing in the temp and holding it there until the food is done.  It’s an event here.  And I make sure I do it at least twice a week.  I’d do it every day if I could.

I think it may have been a day or two ago. But I did my morning constitutional. Went off to work. I come home from work, need to make a tinkle. Must’ve had a brain fart about 9-10 hours earlier. Staring at the massacre that happened in the morning. Not cool.

I’m not freakishly tall (6’1) but tall enough that some shirts aren’t long enough. I am not a “big guy” but normally order XL’s due to shoulder width. Ordered some Carhartt shirts XLT. I feel like time Hanks in “Big”. Brings me back to peewee football years. Had the large shoulder pads but had toothpicks hanging out of them.

Does the T in XLT stand for Tall? If so, you don't necessarily have to get the XL to get the right fit. 

I'm 5'10" with long arms & long legs/short torso so I have to buy everything in my size Tall so it's long enough. I'm not broad shouldered per say but the Tall seems to fit a bit better there than the regular size.

I’ve got long monkey arms too.   6’4” wingspan. I mainly wanted the extra length because some shirts down hang low enough for my liking.  Plus I wanted something where I could reach up and it not come over my waist for carrying purposes.

We don't know that for sure yet, though the length could be an indicator.  Which way do your knuckles point when you're walking?
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

When I’m walking bipedally or when I’m walking on all fours?

Does everything need to connect online? I mean really why does my stove, microwave, or refridgerator need online connections. Seems to me this is getting a bit absurd.

Bipedally?  Look who's throwing around the fancy words to make us think that he's evolved.

Bipedally: noun/slang

"That dude over there looks a little bipedally to me."

Are they reflective sun hoodies or like actual thicker hoodies?

Thicker cotton hoodies. The guy I saw tonight was walking down the side of the road wearing a hoodie with the hood up and his hands stuck in the pockets while it's 88°. I've seen them in the daytime as well. I don't get it.
