Forklifts are no joke. Nearly every male actually from Columbus winds up dealing with them at some point and we've all got stories.

Zero tolerance policies are an organization saying that they don't trust their staff to make judgement calls.

E rocc, Eskimos have 50 words for all nouns because they combine verbs with nouns to make words. So it's not just for snow.

Almost as good as Dad flipping on a porno when you turn 14!

It's Ohio. People in San Diego might not know their weatherman, but in Ohio they're some of the best-known people in town.

The difference is between the words debt and deficit. Just because government had a balanced fiscal year one year doesn't mean it has no previous debt. edit: lammi beat me to it.

I got a 27 (82%) but I'm afraid that's only because I studied business, as in if I would have studied something else I would have done worse. I get the feeling that someone in STEM would get really rocked at that test.

What's great about Wrigley is that the focus is on BASEBALL, not on getting little kids to look at themselves on TV. Say goodbye to that when they finish their renovation and have a huge screen like every other park. I hope the fans in Chicago are ready for inane crap like the "Cheezy Dance Cam". You're right that the physical park isn't the best out there, but the Cubs don't apologize for baseball like nearly every other team does by filling every second of downtime with zany audio/visual "entertainment". EDIT: Didn't see ryanlammi's post until I finished mine. Sorry for the largely duplicate sentiment, but I'm glad that I'm not the only person out there that is fed up with the current MLB "fan" experience. LOL, the PA announcers and big screens coming up with stuff to put on kids' phone screens anytime the ball's not in the air. Unfortunately, it seems that families are the only people who spend money anymore so everything involving entertainment has to put kids first. No way are these kids going to put up with long driving commutes in adulthood.

Columbus property and sales taxes are horrible.

I still can't get used to phones not being permanently plugged into the wall. And I hate how the cell phone doesn't go off all the house. I can't remember that I have to take it with me all over the house.

OSU does not play any non-conference school yearly. It's just not something they do. Why do people expect them to do it for UC?

I didn't know my friend Uptown Charlie was going to cause that much trouble by putting his initials in the snow.

"The unmitigated gall!"

Ohio doesn't have primary and secondary state schools. All 13 state schools from OSU through SSU are the same tier as far as the state is concerned.

I often wonder if those kind of misspellings change the way people think. In his mind, thrones are associated with being thrown for example.

They do have a place but it is only for very specific situations.

I liked it when B&B were so mean that MTV wouldn't put the song info at the bottom. That happened with Yoko Ono's "My Man" for one.

Only if you look at things like that. If you see somebody doing something different from you or making a different decision than you then look at that act as a threat to a choice that you have made... well you're going to come to that conclusion every time.

I mean look at this:

Beer maybe?

I think a lot of the Millennials' attitudes towards many things comes from watching their parents try too hard. Millenials got shuttled everywhere all week and weekend long in these uber-boring minivans and SUVs bought in the name of safety -- the younger ones with DVDs playing the entire time on screens in the back seats. So they don't like the idea of having little visual stimulation while being transported since they had those DVDs running the entire time when they were little. A bunch of Applebee's, tract housing and Lowe's stores aren't enough visuals. Driving also means being up really early and getting home really late to them because that's what Mom and Dad had to do because of all that driving. I doubt I'd be interested in cars if my folks hadn't raised me in two-door Thunderbirds, Monte Carlos, Cutlasses and pickups. And they didn't even care about cars. They just wanted something American that wasn't too tall. Sitting in the back of a Dustbuster van or a Camry for 15 years wouldn't make me care about the car any more than the dishwasher. The Boomer parents trying too hard also bleeds over into non-transportation aspects such as delayed parenthood. The Boomers made parenthood look so difficult and overwhelming that the Millennials are like, "that's just too much. I don't know if I can do it really." Whereas the WWII dads, all they were expected to do was go to work then come home and watch the ballgame while drinking gin. And the moms had all day to accomplish the things they needed to do to keep the house up.

Just as young, idealistic people are somehow found in every generation..... the old, grumpy, cynical, "this country is going to hell in a handbasket" crowd never dies out. I don't like how video games have all that talking now.

I wonder what these stations will be like in 20 years when all those men have stroked out from grinding their teeth for 40 straight years.
