  1. Most state laws will agree with you. Handicapped plates/tags are not just issued to a vehicle, they're issued to a vehicle and a person with the condition that the person to which the tag is issued is driving or being transported in said vehicle. If someone is driving without that person present and parks in a handicapped spot, it's as good as not having the tag at all, and they can be fined.
  2. One of the mysteries of my life: how a 3 year old human and a 18 pound Boston Terrier can somehow occupy 80% of the available space of a king sized bed.
  3. A) The Atlanta airport is a pet peeve in and of itself. Correction: It's either the 3rd or 4th circle of Hell....can't remember which. The sign outside shouldn't say "Hartsfeld-Jackson International Airport". It should say "Abandon hope all ye who enter." B) It's slowed down this year, but from June-November of last year, I flew from Cincinnati to either Dallas or Houston at least 8 times. And I developed a skill I never thought I'd possess: falling asleep on an airplane. I started requesting the window seat every time, threw in a pair of actual ear buds (non-Apple, with the rubber insert to help block out ambient noise), put on something from Audible and knocked the F out. Before takeoff in a lot of cases. No putting up with irritating people getting up all the time, talking too loud, or just being assjackets in general. And it probably saved me a few pounds, too. Those damn cookies that Delta gives away are almost up there with Thin Mints for me. If I'm asleep, I can't request any.
  4. Big market teams are like the playground bully. They look impressive, can throw their weight around and can knock you over if all you do is cower in fear. So how do you beat a playground bully? Sit around and whine about how they're so much bigger? Nope. Fight smart. You get faster and more mobile and get your shots in without getting blasted. Or, you go the opposite route: find out something embarrassing about him and throw it back at him.
  5. I think they're worried anyway. Even with KD out, you've still got 3 of the top 10 draws in the game today (Curry/Kawhi/Klay) and ratings are still down. And it's not because of the market sizes of the teams involved. Toronto is bigger than Chicago, and the combined Bay Area is top 10 in North America.
  6. Places that would be better long term destinations for AD than the Knicks or Lakers: 1. Siberia 2. The Pyongyang pickup game between Rodman and Kim Jung-Un. 3. The Saskatchewan Rattlers
  7. House rehab shows are halfway tolerable. Be glad it isn't The Real Housewives Of BFE or wherever it is now.
  8. People who insist on asking Siri/voice command the same damn question more than twice without it understanding them. News flash, jackwagon: you could have typed it in or opened the app yourself already! "Siri, what's the weather going to be in Nowheresville, WV tomorrow?" *no response* *slightly louder* "Siri, what's the weather going to be in Nowheresville, WV tomorrow?" "Sorry, I didn't understand that." *louder yet* "Siri.... what's the weather..... Going to be..... In Nowheresville, WV..... Tomorrow?" Meanwhile, I'm standing in front of them, having already unlocked my phone, opened the weather app, typed in "Nowheresville, WV" and have had the forecast on screen for 10 seconds, while they're staring at their phone like some poop-flinging orangutan, wondering why the imaginary person inside doesn't like them all of a sudden.
  9. Speaker phone, right there with you. But what's the difference in someone talking on a headset vs holding the phone to their head?
  10. There's a good one: people that insist that every call be video/FaceTime. Those people are part of the reason I'm still using my 4 year old Android.
  11. I'll modify this one to just "Facebook". Or 99.73675% of social media in general.
  12. They overcame a 3-1 defecit in the 2016 west finals.....and then blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals. I think they're too beaten up to overcome 3-1 though,especially with Game 5 in TO.
  13. Exactly. Because of the way the trade was executed (assuming because of either salary cap or other restrictions), it's easy to say "He traded Kawhi for Hill". No. He traded a first round pick for Hill. If the Spurs told the Pacers to pick Chris Singleton, Chandler Parsons, or any other 2011 draftee, that's what they would have done. Bird and the Pacers had zero input into who that pick was, and had zero intention of keeping whoever it was. Like I said, if the pick could have been sent to SA before the draft and they made the pick directly, Bird doesn't get half the criticism he does for that trade.
  14. If the Pacers traded the pick to the Spurs in advance of the draft, and the Spurs drafted Leonard, the optics of this trade are completely different. At the time, was Hill worth a mid 1st round pick? Yes. In any universe, is George Hill equal to Kawhi Leonard? No.
  15. One thing to remember: Toronto isn't one of the fabricated "super teams". GS has 4, maybe 5 guys that are legitimate stars. Toronto has Kawhi, Lowry, who has almost become a star in his own right, and a bunch of guys who are at the "pretty good" level (Gasol, Ibaka, FVV, Green, Siakem, etc). There's always the debate of "Is it KD or Curry?" Not in TO. This is Kawhi's team, period. A reminder of just how damn good Kawhi is, and kind of refreshing to not have a team with a "Big 3/4/5/whatever" on the verge of a title.
  16. Maybe Tyreke Evans would want to go back to.....oh, wait, never mind.
  17. I've said this before but if this year's freshman class is "failing", I can't wait to see what winning looks like.
  18. If he was on the roster, he didn't play.
  19. You are. Checked back to 1990. Couldn't remember if someone who kicked around the league for several years (like Jeffries) may have snuck on to a Finals roster or no.
  20. Well, if they didn't get your attention before, the Raptors have arrived. So KD.....how's that calf feeling?
  21. https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/fathead-pizza-crust-low-carb-keto-gluten-free-nut-free/ Try it. Trust me.
  22. Romeo, Romeo....Fare thee well, Romeo.
