Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
I've worn shorts almost every day since March 11, 2020, which was my last day in the office and it's also the last time I wore a suit.
I think I wore shorts all but ~10 times in 2021. The neighbours in my new neighbourhood last year definitely took pictures of me shovelling snow in shorts.
I don't do sandals, though, whatever the season.
I blame your parents.
@Starat327, explain yourself!

There will be absolutely no shaming of shorts in the winter.

The ever-cold Mrs. Parent has been wrapped in one if not two blankets all day for the past while. To see her juxtaposed with our son sporting only t-shirt and shorts is quite the sight.

"You're seeing some slick continental dude. I'm begging you, please - don't talk to strangers."
Speaking of strange, we start the day with @Young Sandwich on the clock. I thought we agreed to not let that happen again? Hmmph. His Spite Supergroup has a distinct R & B douchelord bent so far, a pair of guys whose personal lives leave a trail of disgust. We will beat them down. On deck is the vacuum-skulled @Lord Defect, and God alone knows where and how he will go off the rails with this next attempt to pick. @Strawberry Fields is on the lido deck. He could add to his Band of Horseshit, and if he does it will be interesting to see who else in the world of "music" bugs him. Jojo is on the lido afterdeck. We share some targets of spite, but past a certain point we also diverge wildly in what we can and cannot stand.
I was looking at the lists this morning, and while it's too early to tell much from the selections thus far, there are two potential Spite Supergroups that I could actually like as a normal band. Don't get me wrong and don't worry - I'll be the first one to back up any one of you when it comes time for the beatings - but I was curious to see if anyone would manage to hate 3-6 people that I actually like. As you know, I am always looking for the positive in everything.
I'm not in a HUGE hurry, and I don't want to nag or whatever - this is just a reminder that I need Supergroup names from Jojo, GKJ and DancingPants. I'm doing something with them, but I'm not close to finishing or anything, so it isn't panic time, especially since we are all feeling the sweet release of freedom with no hockey tonight. Fire Chuck.

Well I live a bit south of Jacksonville so sure, why not?
I better snatch this one up before someone else does.
Baseball was my first love as a wee lad. As a Little Leaguer I'd play it nearly year round except for when soccer season kicked in. I honestly played too much back then, which eventually burned me out on the game and turned it into a love/hate relationship. Back in the early 90's though, it was all love and it was all Phillies. I still remember exactly where I was when it happened. The exact position I was in. The exact emotions I felt as I watched Joe Carter live out every baseball-playing child's dream: hitting a come-from-behind, World Series Championship clinching walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th. It was absolutely devastating to my tiny little heart. I wept like like a baby and couldn't sleep that night. The sour taste in my mouth was there for months. It truly crushed me.

Are you my wife? She is the only person I've ever heard utter that phrase before you just dropped it twice in the last couple days.
Son of a bitch bastard. Too many drafts going on at once.

That was going to be my next pick as i vividly remembered the chyron that he wrecked his car and passed away. I also remember that Rags fans would chant Pelle well into the 90's if not later, f***ing bastards.I am so hankering to continue my spite band, but I'm afraid if I leave this selection too long it will vanish.
No one in my family likes hockey, so I'm not sure how I got to fandom. I'm not even sure exactly when I started watching. I still have the Flyers pennant from my room when I was a kid (framed in my office now to save it). No clue where it came from. I have a good memory on the whole, but early childhood is honestly just a blur of sensation with little fact.
If I had to make an educated guess though, I would work from my Team Crushing Sport Moment and go backward from there, so it must have been at some point in the early 80s.
I remember us sitting at our kitchen table for Sunday dinner back then. My mom worked evenings as a nurse so a dinner with the whole family wasn't always a frequent occurrence. But this weekend we got it. As always at dinner time though, ABC Action News was on on the 12 inch colour tube tv we had there in the kitchen. The lead story came up. It didn't make any sense though. I heard the name they said between bites, but sports didn't come on until 20 minutes in before weather. So why were they talking about one of my favourite players as the first story? As I listened, it just didn't make any sense. Things like this don't happen. How can this happen? How can this be fair? To him? To us? We were supposed to win this year. This can't happen.
The news on November 10, 1985 was incomprehensible to me and yet I still held out some hope despite what my mom the nurse told me. Then the finality came the next day. As I got older and better understood it, I was grew resentful about the stupidity that led to something wholly avoidable - that hurts others as well. However I might understand it intellectually now, it doesn't remove the memory of that kid with a hole in his heart.

It was such a magical run but by game 6 Williams arm was cooked. Then they followed it up by going on strike in 94 and I have never watched a full game to this day.

I do feel a little guilty having positive memories about the Phillies' and Sixers' devastating moments mentioned in this thread. Less for the Phillies considering how much they beat up the Expos back in the day. And for a casual bandwagon Raptors fan who really isn't into basketball all that much but followed them simply in the playoffs, I can definitely see where that buzzer-beater to clinch the series bouncing multiple times off the rim before falling would have been a dagger to the heart for a true Sixers' fan.
