TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

Six wasp sting, four between my ankle and the back of my knee on my right leg, another on my left ankle, and one on my right forearm. It was all it the span of a few seconds. Death to all yellow jackets!

I picked up 10 losing Powerball tickets today. I’m so excited for tonight’s drawing!

Next month is going to be weird:

Autism testing starts August 1.

Corrective surgery on my right foot August 15. This time, they're taking a piece from the calcaneus and grafting it into the talonavicular joint, along with a plate and screws.

I can do it, but I am terrified.

I’m just now seeing this article from Bring Me the News

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota...ST_EMAIL_ID%5D

I posted about this a bit when it originally happened, and this is a follow-up to a double-murder-suicide in Bloomington, MN. The head guy in the scam was my BIL’s cousin. I used to know that guy when we were all kids. (My BIL was my best friend when we were kids, and introduced me to his wife’s sister, who later became my wife).

My wife, daughter and I are dinner out in front of the house. My wife sitting on the steps, looks over at my daughter’s fairy garden and starts clearing it out. While my daughter is not happy at first, my wife explains that she’s clearing it out so that my daughter can do it all over again. She then says, “[Daughter], can you go get the muffin pan on the bench and bring it out here?” Our daughter starts walking into the house.

I then reply, “[Daughter], do you know what a muffin pan is?” My daughter starts slowly closing the door from the inside and giving me the longest stink eye to date. :-D She’s looking at me like Are you stupid, Old Man? I have a hard time keeping a straight face when these moments arise.

Did John Carpenter produce this commercial? Imagine being a parent seeing that and thinking, "You know let's scare the s**t of little Mary this Christmas".

You know you're an adult when the idea of a new vacuum cleaner puts you in a good mood.

Who doesn't appreciate a touching Make-A-Wish story.

That's probably the one with the kid getting hit with the thrown ball and doing the spin move as a result? If so, that's the one, ha ha...

Probably is. The kid bats, does a little spin, drops his bat right into a dad's ankle. Batter runs straight to 2nd base. Pile of kids go to ball. Ball comes on an arc out of somewhere and nails another kid in the face. Runner continues toward 3 on a huge arc off the baseline and continues to home, while fielders continue to mill around). As runner nears plate, another kid standing there just sprints top speed towards something off screen. So much going on

Searching that term (T-ball Chaos) on Youtube brings up one of the funniest videos ever (maybe that was the particular video you meant?). You can watch it 20 times and each time pick a different kid to track or different section of the screen to watch and see something new and hilarious every time.

The videos of T-ball Chaos are downright hilarious!

Enjoy the memories (and take some video for blackmail in those pesky teen years!)

You know how you generally need somethign like a rosetta stone or just a starting point to begin decoding a language.

We have the first data point for dogs. I'm 99% sure this directly translates to "The f--ck?"

This is one of my favorite videos of all time now.

This league is 3-5yo kids, and no outs were recorded. Kids were either building gravel mounds, throwing gravel into the wind, or pouncing en masse on a ball hit 6’ to 7’ if they were lucky. One kid carried the bat to chase down the ball he hit only to turn and run to first after about three coaches convinced him that it was really the thing to do.

[French Rage]

My daughter is playing her first tee-ball game right now. It’s is both amazingly bad and equally hilarious. Half of the kids are making sand piles with the infield gravel, and the others are diving pellmell for the 6-ft hit.

the coaches are amazing, all men of great patience.

I hear you. I umped for a year when I was in middle school, but because I was by far the youngest and least experienced I got the tee-ball games. Which is a way to see they didn't want me to make any decision that mattered because a) they did not keep score, b) everyone got to bat each inning, and c) there was a two-base maximum advancement. And of course it's not like any hit actually ever resulted in an out or anything to actually ump. Actually, that's not true, there would maybe be one or two runners actually out during the whole game. So if there was a score, it would be less "who scored the most runs" and more "who actually got someone out and temporarily halted the continual onslaught of runs". I would track that score in my head to give myself some actual reason to pay attention to the game I was presumably umping.
