OT: 120th Obsequious Banter Thread: The Fallowing of the Bone Tree

Villanova, noted Philadelphia school.

They moved a whole school? I'll bet that took a while.

The Massimino family is frantically researching whether 1985 counts as a miracle.

I said that completely tongue in cheek. I'm a big hater of the whole thing being that I went to Drexel.

Me too on both.

The "This is the first American Pope in the 2000+ year history of the Catholic Church" comments are sending me.

Every time. "Will this be the first time in 2000 years!?"

Um less than that, surely.


Anyway, I think it's important for me to get this out of my system:

YYYYYYYEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WOOOOO USA! USA! USA! USA! Eat it, QUEBEC! #1 WORLDWIDE TWO TIME WORLD WAR CHAMPS!!!!!!

What a banner day for notorious people who cover up sex crimes: first Coach Q then the Pope.

Followup on that outlet. Original to the house and the builders stabbed the wires in the back. One of them came loose. Just loose enough to end the circuit pretty much fresh out the breaker box, but not enough to trip the breaker. And power could come and go based on temperature, that's how close the tolerance was.

Zero regret paying for a fix I'm capable of because those stabbed wires never feel secure to me and this thing was so barely loose I wouldn't have caught it. It had arced a little bit at one point and left a little burn mark so that might have been a hint for me. I know my house will be doing this going forward. Nice that it's straightfoward and not sinister

Q has to coach Anaheim though, feels like a level of punishment not comparable to getting Poped.

Seattle and Alaska are in the US tho…

There is an incredibly annoying commercial playing on a local channel advertising for vacationing in the Adirondacks. The ad ends with a female in a heavy French accent saying, "We were going to go to the United States for our vacation but now we will go to the Adirondacks." Umm, Madame, you may want to check a map.

Again, I hate backstabbed outlets! Builders do that stuff because it saves them 30 seconds per outlet.

I love the ADKs...and, yes, they are in the States. With the current dumbf***ery in our country right now please be smart and don't visit.

It's an exterior wall too. A metal wire in a plastic slot. Both expanding into each other ever so barely every day. Of course it inevitably wears out.

Thanks, Yukon (which is not in the US ). We picked a good year to visit friends in Germany.

They should remove that option altogether. Using them is a hack job. Only takes a few more seconds to do it correctly.
