Francis Scott Key Bridge was an inside job

Like the US was behind taking it down to bolster anti-China sentiment?

No, it’s because Francis Scott Key was a racist and they want to build a new bridge and name it something else.

that's a delightful one

And all it cost us was 6 immigrant laborers. bonus it created 6 new jobs for some hard working American Patriots

key is to find the kids with the parents that are fun to be around, and essentially make your kids be friends with their kids.  basically instead of a kid play date (hated typing that) you organize an adult hang out, and the kids naturally get to play with each other.
^bingo. trouble is all my friends that meet that criteria either don't have kids, or their kids are nowhere close to mine's age, or they live like a thousand miles away. sure i (a middle aged man) could go actively seeking out new friends but what am i some kind of psychopath?

nobody believes trump finishes in the top half.

Is there any doubt fanman would whip his ass?

not sure the FM's game.  I would bet trump is somewhere between 15-20 HC

He undoubtedly abides the Judge Smails winter rules

NGL the ‘za was pretty good (no clue how the mushroom and ricotta was bc that’s literal trash).
But I think I’ve depicted Doug and Mary a bit unfairly. They are perfectly decent people, and we get along just fine. And I’m not even saying their stinginess makes them bad people, it’s just different than how I choose to prioritize stuff in my life. We have honestly had several playdates like meeting up at a park and those went off without a hitch. And I bet we could even do things with them where money is involved so long as we all agreed beforehand.

Like oh you wanna go to the children’s museum? Great! They pay for their admission, we pay for ours, no controversy no perceived unfairness. (We actually have a family membership to the children’s museum that includes guest passes but they don’t know that and I’m not going to tell them)

Isnt' being kind of a derp part of the job description for VP?

I mean, hbo had a killer series about it.

Cire it is EXTREMELY rare that I ever agree with dax on anything, but one thing i do agree with him on, is that for this upcoming presidential election...the VP could really matter bigly.

Desantis signed a bill banning kids under 14 from having social media without parents consent.

good news for those under 14 yr old kids who suddenly will have some free time on their hands...FLA would be happy to let you use that time working for next to nothing at like, meat packing plants or other similar type Industrial Farming sorts of jorbs

Rusty's focus on the gluten free part of this story is my favorite.

the focus is on accommodating his wife! (My GF wife would not let this fly and I seriously think it is more aggregious by the hosts and BAC)

i hear ya rusty i hear ya

After reading through this and thinking about it for a bit, i've come to the conclusion that this family hates BAC's family. Clue 1 was when they ordered pizza for a GF person. This didn't work and the BAC family didn't take the hint and leave. The family then had to come up with a way to make them not come back so they stuck them with the pizza bill. I feel like the next step is for this family to sprinkle peanuts all over the house without asking if any of the kids have an allergy.

This is correct. The hostility is palpable.

Second, regarding them not making accommodations, it was honestly fine. My wife is very used to it. There are so few places that she feels safe to eat at, and of those Im not sure if any of them deliver, but ultimately we were not planning to stay for dinner in the first place, it was just supposed to be a chill hang that ran long bc the kids were having fun, and ordering pizza was very much a fitting choice.

How on earth do you not know if there are any celiac friendly places that deliver? I'm assuming this other family lives in your neighborhood or at least delivery range?

we are very aware of all the GF places that are safe to eat around us. No idea on the delivery policy b/c we always either dine in or carry out. But its not just that, its the finding a place that is safe + delivers + is at a price point everyone is amenable to + has menu options that everyone finds agreeable (including 3 year olds!) and i'm sure you can imagine that venn diagram starts to have a very small center portion.

if it was part of the plan to have dinner then we absolutely would have run all the traps and figured out what would work. Most of the time that would be us just bringing our own thing b/c we realize how restrictive my wife's dietary restrictions are and we neither want nor expect everyone to adhere to those restrictions. I don't think any of us expected the kids to still be having so much fun that we would stick around for dinner. it can be exhausting enough trying to figure out if new places actually understand what GF means, and if we insisted that other ppl accommodate us they would probably do so by not inviting us to stuff anymore.

My opinion is that you experienced the cost of having children, which is sometimes you're going to be strategically interacting with people you have no other connection to. By absolute definition, yes, you slightly subsidized the pizza of two other couples. If this bothers you, then maybe you need to make a decision about if you'd rather get out the calculors and protractors or relax and enjoy your day.

Yeah. BAC, you're my friend and I know you to be an honest man of good faith. But I think this is something you just let slide. Or just avoid any splitsies scenarios with the couple in the future.

Fair enough. I guess the ironic part is that despite how lib7 is choosing to frame me, (as a petty, penny pinching vindictive a-hole with an ever running leger of perceived slights), that couldn't be further from the truth.

To be fair, you literally compared yourself to Larry David's character in Curb ...

well, i said the scenario i found myself in could make for a good jumping off point in an epi of curb. wouldn't be surprised if something like that did happen in that show, i recall similar/adjacent things happened in seinfeld (re: kenny banya gives jerry a suit in exchange for a nice meal together. and to a lesser degree but still adjacent, the Big Salad)

I'm curious BAC, if you were the hosting couple, how would you have handled the pizza situation? (in this hypo you ordered the pizzas and had the veggie one and leftovers and more expensive house and all that jazz)

honestly lib7 i would never even think to expect payment from people who i have invited to be a guest in my home. and if they offered to pay i would refuse, or if i didn't really like them very much and was only inviting them b/c i had to, i would say something like "eh you can just pick up the check next time! (but would forget i said that like 5 seconds later and would not, in fact, expect them to pick up the check next time)". I will admit, if they just absolutely insist on chipping in, like they won't let it go, i'm not going to die on that hill.

We don't fret over money, whereas Doug and Mary care big time about every red cent, and obviously when people are so diametrically opposite it can be a source of friction. Doug and Mary are going to make damn sure they are never stuck holding the bag on $8/slice pizza night but have no compunction about putting others their invited guests in that position. To KK's point, as soon as the girls are old enough to not need both sets of parents to be present when they get together, i'm quite positive our interactions with Doug and Mary will kept to a minimum. For us, the biggest concern is going to be making sure that our daughter always has sufficient monies on her anytime she goes over to their house, b/c we fully expect that they fully expect her to pay for anything they do that has a discrete cost associated with it.

and yes @Trim you nailed it and at 6:31 i knew that was the right move but i didn't have the heart to break up a playdate where the kids were all having a great time so i rolled the dice and hoped that whatever financial transaction was going to take place later that night would be agreeable for all parties.

Big 12 has only won the tournament 2 of the last 3 years so I can see the concern

We failed the conference not keeping The Str3ak going

Good chance at 3 out of the last 4 years.
