Alright, just 3 regular season games left in the 2023 NFL Regular Season, so I'm curious who the FBGs think is deserving of Coach of the Year 2023. The poll will include 5 NFL Coaches with the best odds to win according to Bovada as of 12/20/23 as well as an option for "Other". If you vote...

Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary likes to rant about a lot of things and usually I pay little attention, but this one I thought was pretty good: “Stop spending money on crap you don’t need! What’s the biggest waste of money you see today?” First, he singles out coffee and the amount people spend per...

Alright, let's get this out of the way first - Minnesota will always have the World Series crowns from 1987 and 1991. And that's that. They had some spasms of success in the aughts but really squandered the best years of Johan Santana and Francisco Liriano. Vikings - 0-4 in Super Bowls and...

Was thinking about this on Saturday as my wife and I waited 2.5 hours in the ER for a room to open up for her (strep throat, swollen/infected tonsils that needed to be drained, no beuno) - the staff that works the ER, specifically the registration nurses have to see some of the absolute worst in...

I shared in another thread that our GB Wikkid reached out to me after one of my best friends died in a car wreck Memorial Day weekend.  He recognized that I was struggling and saw that I was having a tough time finding a therapist to help cope with grief and offered to help me until I did find a...

13 years ago, I was just given one by our CFO.  I think he enjoyed making it up.  I didn't care at the time; still don't.  It's on about 78,000 business cards that I never hand out.  I'm **OFFICIALLY** our Senior Vice President of Marketing.  Sounds good, doesn't mean squat.   I was just asked...

Dave Grohl was asked to list his top 3 records for homeschool and his list was interesting if even a bit surprising.  Take a look: "Well, you are going to want to get The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's [Lonely Heart's Club Band]," Grohl told BBC Breakfast from his home in Los Angeles. "One reason is...

I know, there's plenty of threads on here discussing cooking and recipes, but right now, it might be tough to A)  Find the ingredients you need and B)  It might be important to some of us with giant families and a limited budget to buy only what's necessary currently.   So, I'll start with a...

Funny how memories are conjured up.  I recently ditched contact lenses and have been wearing glasses full time.  But I can't read up close with them, so on/off/on/off they go as I toggle between activities.  I need bifocals but I digress.  That simple act of taking them off reminded me of the...

Curious about this as I think most people currently live close to where they grew up.  Now, many people have a nomadic childhood and bounce around, so for the sake of clarification, you can use the place where you graduated high school if you like, but you don't have to.  Maybe you were moved to...

This might be a Honda and if it is, forgive me, but there's a bit of debate going on in one of my fantasy leagues over what month is the best.  A few guys are of a mind that October is best - baseball moves into the postseason, football is in high gear with the wheat separating from chaff, fall...

We went camping last weekend and as a bit of a fire bug, I always return from our camping trips smelling like a combination of a crowded subway car in August and Smokey Bear.  Sticky residue from S'mores, tree sap and various camping guadoos tend to pile up so for me, the post-camping trip...

All this talk of states you like, dislike, where you live, where you want to live, etc got me thinking.  List your top 5 U.S. cities but please exclude the city/town you live in now.  You don't have to rank them (I didn't) but you certainly can.  I haven't travelled out of North America so I'm...

Bit of an offshoot on this thread, where I found myself boasting like a peacock about my current state, Oregon.  Funny thing is, 20 year old me would have boasted just as much about my home state of Texas.   Very much enjoyed the back and forth in that thread and cool to see people that are...

Shuke's Spotify Playlist Why am I doing this?  Great question.  I don't remember when, but at some point in our history together as FBG personalities, I became convinced that Shuke was the perfect dance partner for comedic fodder and I like to think that the two of us have done our parts to...

Fellas and Gals -  Our local minor league baseball team - The Hillsboro Hops (how great is that name!) - are holding an open audition for their PA Announcer.  This....this is my dream job.  I know, I know, "REACH FOR THE STARS, GM!".  Well, this is what I lay in bed and fantasize about...

Did a quick search, didn't find nothing.  Do we not do this anymore round here?  Did that go the way of Whose (Who's?) Hottest threads?  Where are all the enlightened rogues who frequented past derby threads?  Fellas.....I need you.  At 46 years old, I'm breaking my Derby cherry (can we say that...

When:  Arrive Chicago Union Station via Amtrak on Thurs. July 5th at 10:30am, Departing Sat. July 7th at High Noon. Who:  GM, Mrs. GM II, 15 year old & 13 year old.  Leaving the twins and their sister with members of the Detroit Mafia for sensitivity training. Why:  Because I've never been...

Put aside all our differences and have a hearty laugh at me, General Malaise, king of the idiots, lord of the stupid. As some of you know, I'm a 44 year old functional dolt who has somehow managed to procreate multiple times with TWO different womens.  It's a crown achievement considering my...
