Haha it's a trip out of town...I am attending a coaching clinic out here, I have an old friend I may hook up with out here and currently I am at a MSU basketball game...

Primary focus is the coaching clinic and just time away from Philly...

This place is a desolate wasteland though...not surprised, but I am gonna try to go out in Sparty nation tonight and get waffled and see what happens...make the best of it...

Ok, that's a good reason to go to Lansing in December.

I have three trips this month...all northbound...Lansing, NYC and Buffalo for the World Juniors...they get better as the month goes on at least...

Good luck and be safe

Msu basketball game is probably a good time i would imagine

[mikey]

It's a very cool atmosphere. They count down the shot clock like 3 seconds early and the whole student section makes the buzzer sound to rush opposing shooters haha

It is interesting from a tactical perspective watching basketball from the baseline view. I have never seen a game from this angle in my life.

Interesting. There's a market nearby that I know sells some sort of Amish butter, so maybe I'll pick some up, if only to see what the difference is.

I won't be putting it on Pop Tarts, however.

If you have a stand mixer it's really easy to whip your own butter with heavy cream.

That wet suit needed a cleaning I'm sure. That monster came out of nowhere.

I love me some Warhol, but this is the worst idea ever:

Seconded. Process takes no more than a couple minutes. The only reason I still buy butter is because I get the brand that I'd buying the cream from, anyway.

Bullied boy’s heartbreaking video

Last night the VLB household attended the Kennywood Holiday Lights. This was the first time attending, and I really didn’t want to go, but with proper winter attire it really wasn’t too bad. The bonfire next to Noah’s Ark was really nice towards the end of the night. They had a few rides open with very little wait. We rode ghostwood estate for the first time, and Cosmic Chaos was suprisingly open...it’s been closed the last several summer visits.

Some wake and bake being done by my downstairs neighbors...

They're baking pop tarts?

What was the aircraft for the Chicago-to-Lansing flight? Google flights lists CRJs and ERJs as being on that route. If it was a jet that had three seats in each row (arranged 1–2), it was an ERJ, and if it had two seats in each row (2–2), it was a CRJ.

The smallest commercial aircraft I've ever been in was a 19-passenger USAir Express Beech 1900D—one of these puppies:



It was a flight from Syracuse to Utica, NY, which literally took something like 25 minutes. The 1900D is under the minimum size where flight attendants are required, so it was just the captain and first officer for the crew.

Bullied boy’s heartbreaking video

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bullied-boys ... 13896.html

This was awful. That said, I am starting to deeply suspect the motives of this mother. Everything has been all about the GoFundMe and Paypal donation links, and she has been hawking them nonstop. And then there was this:

One public figure, Joe Schilling, a Bellator MMA fighter, who was touched by the young boy's heartbreaking story, reached out to Jones to invite Keaton to a show. He said he was surprised by Jones' reaction.

Schilling posted a video on Monday via Instagram with the caption, "Go look at her ig watch her story posts she just running a money scam. Really really sad and disgusting. Tagging celebrities trying to get them to donate to her go fund me account smfh. @kimberlyjones_38 @danawhite @gracegraciefit @snoopdogg @plies."

Schilling said in his irate Instagram post, "I feel pretty stupid right now. I was pretty moved by Keaton Jones video so I reached out to his mom and was going to bring him out to LA for a Bellator event that's coming up, big show, and and introduce him to fighters, be his friend, and she just wants money. She just wants me to share her GoFund me account."

Schilling said he asked Kimberly Jones during their conversation what the GoFund me account was for to which he claimed she said, "You know Christmas is coming and I'm a single mother, blah, blah, money's tight."

Note I am not blaming the kid here, but this woman, in everything I am seeing from her social media and other stuff, strikes me as total white trash. Obviously I would love for this to be 100% legit, but something about her just really brings out the cynical side in me.

The fact that she just happened to be filming it was enough for me

It was a 1 row, then 2 plane...carry-ons needed to be able to be wrapped in a paper towel or smaller, or else they wouldn't fit in the overhead...

Also, semi-related, after this upcoming trip to Buffalo, I think I am done with United...
