You have great seats to an MLB game, like, first row behind home plate. Any batter will be able to hear you clearly if you decide to give ‘em the ol’ what-fer.
What is your go to heckle? Are you just trying to be funny or do you want to get in his head?

Like let’s say Giancarlo Stanton is on deck and the pitcher can throw 99+mph but has control issues. Do you be like “I bet you’ve put that while getting your face smashed in incident completely behind you, right? Like you have moved on and definitely don’t ever worry about it happening again. That’s cool you were able to get over it I’m not sure I would especially with this wild man on the bump”

Also if the opposing team pitcher is taking a perfect game or no hitter into the 7th I’m absolutely going to be like “oh crap dude you have a perfect game going did you know that??”

Ok I’ve found myself thinking about this from time to time…what does this team look like if Nigel Pack had stayed? Assuming that in this hypothetical the rest of the roster remains the same…are we better? If so, how much? Are we still the fast break running/crazy no look pass throwing/(kiss stealing WHOOOO!)/sports center top 10 dunk highlight reel making sons-a-guns that we’ve been this year?

I dunno about you guys, but I think lots of deep thoughts. Figured I would create a thread for others to share their deep thoughts, as well as giving others the opportunity to reflect and hopefully learn something.

I’ll get started with a topical one:
I wonder how many women flashed their boobs at mardis gras before everyone was like “yes this is just part of the celebration”

I guess that could apply to many instances of being the first person to do something. Like I bet the first guy to milk a cow, everybody probably thought that dude was a pervert.

do you ever feel ways about stuff and think "man i wish there was a word for that thing!" but there isn't? Well this thread is for you! I'll start:

tfw you've had the fridge door open for a long time and you know the chime is about to go off but you close the door just before the chime goes off and its this weird mix of "i just got away with a crime" but also "see i'm a trusty boy i closed the door before it chimed i deserve a treat"

tfw you suffer a minor injury like cutting your finger and in your rational brain you know that you will be fine but in the immediate aftermath you yearn for your life 5 minutes ago when you could easily bend your finger without it hurting like hell and you had full use of your hands but your life will never be the same (except it will in like a day or 2)

before any of you say it, yes i'm aware of the dictionary of obscure sorrows and its a very neat webbedsite and i wish those were actual words

go cats!

Hey gang! If you're anything like me, you love using a nice fancy word every once in a while. I wanted to open a dialogue to share some of your favorites. JUST TO BE CLEAR: This thread is for fancy words you can actually get some milage out of. Like yeah, sesquipedalian is a great word but let's be real you only get to bust that one out maybe 2-3 times a year. Ok I'll start:

Posit
Peruse (but actually using it correctly instead of what most people think it means)
Portmanteau
Broach (the verb not the noun and yes I learned it from Cosmo Kramer and no I'm not ashamed of that)
Impetus
Compunction

PRO TIP: if your idea of a fancy word is like plethora please save yourself the humiliation of posting ITT this is for people that read above a 6th grade level TIA go cats

Could really use some advice here guys...basically this story started right after high school when the future mrs. hub decided she was going to go to the finest colleges money could buy.  Skip ahead a few years and she, like many people ages 25-33, has found herself up to her eyeballs in student loan debt with a job that, on her current trajectory, will allow her to pay off her debt by the time she's 125.
Anyway, she's gone through a cycle of debt consolidation and even after that she still has like 4 different loan payments she has to make each month from a variety of private and federal lenders.
So anyway, one of these private lenders has unleashed the collection agency on her.  The current sitch is that the lender is "no longer willing to negotiate" and her 2 options are 1) pay $5000 in 3 weeks, then resume normal outrageously high interest monthly payments or 2) pay off the loan in full over the next 24 months.  And the outstanding balance is something like $45,000...no way in hell that is happening in 24 months.

So like, does she have any recourse but to meet their outrageous demands?  Even with my help she couldn't come up with 5k in the next 3 weeks, but even less likely than that is her being able to pay off 45k in the next 24 months.  Because in reality, neither of those are viable options.  Will they likely take her to court?  Or are they just trying to scare her in the hopes that she'll give them all the money they want?

Would really appreciate any input from anyone who knows anything about how this works.  I feel bad I can't offer her any advice but I was fortunate, my student loan debt (Sallie Mae) was minimal and I was able to pay it off fairly quickly, so I have no experience whatsoever with private lenders or collection agencies.

TIA

I need some guidance on this one here guys.  I don't know how to feel.  On the one hand, I want to ISU it up and dwell on all of the moral victories from the past 2 weeks...you know, like losers do.  By next gameday i'll have psyched myself up to believing we've righted the ship and it's all Ws from here on in.  As long as we keep winning, that's vindication.  We take a loss and i'm devastated again and have to start the process all over.  On the other hand, I want to KU it up and be completely indifferent to the fact that our team is dogshit and otherwise spend all of my time and energy focusing on how other teams have failed to match their success from the previous year (unless we score an upset in which case let me go find my tee shirt!).

In either case...I feel like the answer lies somewhere between those two extremes.  Somebody help.  I really want to believe but I can't keep taking this kind of disappointment.
