Also I read the job posting for that job and it is hilarious!! The hyperbole is just hysterical, as a former higher ed person, this was just *chefs kiss* “We are building an online community focusing on the most underserved customer base in US education - gifted and talented kids”. They are clearly THE MOST UNDERSERVED!! Hahahaha…

Welcome to the ‘club sports parents’ cult. :) We too did not expect this on our bingo card of life, and now experience the soccer version of this. We were also not prepared (mentally, physically or equipment wise ) for it either. I have learned getting really good stadium seats so your ass and back don’t hurt from siting on metal bleacher seats for HOURS is a good idea…

Kind of weird the Comedy History kid didn't mention RDJ's wildly brief tenure on SNL (even as a Minnesotan I can probably give him a pass on not knowing who Bob and Doug McKenzie were).

It's funny how RDJ being in the SNL cast is kind of an open secret. My only hypothesis is that it was a such an awful season with so few rewatchable moments, that almost nobody has revisited it.
