Re: Home Repairs
Anyone replaced a spigot? I replaced a couple of outdoor spigots last year. I did it by calling a plumber and paying with my credit card. I don't fuck with that kind of plumbing. This one isn't that tricky, really. The only issue is whether the screws that are fastening the spigot are rusted or ove...

Re: Home Repairs
I replaced a showerhead a few months back. But, no, not a spigot.
What's your question? I just looked at a few videos and seems fairly straight-forward.

It's our honeymoon and we flew out to LA (5/6 hours) and then waited many hours to fly from LA to Papeete, Tahiti, which was something like an 8 or 9 hour flight. Essentially over 20 hours of travel. We get picked up by the resort (ou...

The other wrinkle that even the oldest on here might not remember or know is the Flintstones was very clearly "an homage" to The Honeymooners.

It's a weird sport, in terms of growing it at the youth level. Soccer "spread" like wildfire in the 70s and 80s for a bunch of reasons. First off, it was already deeply embedded in a ton of immigrant communities. That's why fairly random cities like St. Louis was a "hot bed" pret...

Re: Lacrosse The Thread
That MI v. Denver first round game is sneaky good. Michigan has figured something out on D, holding a team to 4 goals in a championship game is impressive. After allowing Hop to up 6-1 in the first Q, the Wolverines clamped down and only allowed 1 more goal(!) the rest of the way in the semis.

One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00. Sports in the US (and Canada) never actually start at the advertised time.

Any guesses who the 3 overaged American players will be?
