Things you really just don't get...

[Vic Mackey 47037]

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I hate listening to coach/owner/GM interviews.  Don't get me wrong.  I get the importance of, say, a press conference.  I'm speaking mainly to sports radio.  I'd prefer the, "Here's a couple of things the coach said to me that are important" over 20 mins of "blah, blah, blah.  We need to play better.  I have confidence in the QB.  The other team is really good.  Etc..."  

Absolutely. There are a few coaches who can provide some entertaining sound bites but 99% of them are boring as fuck. They don't divulge any real information. Any time on sports talk radio when they interview or talk to a coach, immediate checkout.

Just once I’d like to see a coach whose team is getting stomped at half time to tell the sideline reporter to get out of my way we’re getting our ass whipped and I need to get to the locker room to yell at my team

I know a couple who are both obsessed with Disney.  Always quoting the movies like we understand the references.  She is a teacher, but (like most chicks) has a side-gig as a travel agent, but she does Disney trips only.  He is obsessed with Frank Sinatra, Al Capone, and Winnie-The-Pooh.  He has a tattoo of Baloo The Bear (from Jungle Book) and constantly refers to himself as "Papa Bear".  

We're stuck for a week at the Gaylord in Orlando this Fall for a meeting.  My wife wants to go in 2 days early so we can hit Epcot and do some Food & Wine Festival stuff.  These guys get all offended that we didn't go through them to book our "Disney vacation".  

First of all, it ain't a Disney-fucking-vacation.  I'm in Orlando under protest (hate that town).  And I'm grudgingly going to Epcot because I'm a good husband.  So please excuse me because I didn't consult with your "agency" for a two-day pass.  Weirdos...

Why Joc Pederson wears a pearl necklace during Braves games: 'It's a mystery for everyone

A pearl necklace can be an ideal accessory for many formal occasions. A fancy night out. A wedding. A baseball game?

For Braves outfielder Joc Pederson, he'll take the latter. Pederson has been spotted wearing a pearl necklace during games this postseason, and he's been having success while wearing it. On Monday, he collected his third hit in as many pinch-hit at-bats this postseason and his second home run.

Two things that I brought up on the old site that I still don’t get:

Men, who aren’t pimps, wearing pinky rings.

Westerners that grew up using forks and knives insisting on using chop sticks. I give the exception to sushi, where chop sticks actually work better. But for a bowl of noodles, no. One of my roommates in college was Chinese. He said his grandmother would eat pizza with chop sticks. That makes sense because all her life she ate food with chop sticks.

Worked with a guy way back who (allegedly) lost his ring finger checking a load of hay (ring got stuck somewhere as/when he jumped down) or something. 

I don't even wear a watch. Next time you're wondering what time it is, make a good effort to guess before you check (your phone, duh).

Same here on the loss of a finger due to wedding band.  I ditched the watch 15+ years ago when smart phones became a thing.

I never wore my wedding ring regularly. When I got married, the place I worked didn't allow any jewelry to be worn during work. Even after I left that job I didn't wear it.

When My dad passed away, the nursing home couldn't find his band so I put mine on his hand and buried it with him.

Agreed on pinky rings.

I use chopsticks because I enjoy eating with them. My family all have their own sets at the house.

I brought up the chopsticks thing too somewhere on this site or the old one and got pushback from a poster or two that I probably wasn't using them right.

Wrong.  Silverware is just more efficient and enjoyable to eat with.  Food doesn't taste any different or better with chopsticks.  I used to be self conscious about using silverware at an Asian place, but I finally quit giving a shit.  If I'm at an Asian restaurant and they only set out chopsticks, I'm sending the waitress back to bring me a fork.

The watch doesn't really serve a specific purpose anymore with always having a phone on me, but there's just something I like about it since I've always worn one.  It's just a comfort thing and I like the way it looks.  Luckily I don't work for big hay.
