Humiliating, mortifying, cringy Embarrassing seems to be an understatement.

When I'm 64! On October 5, 1962, "Love Me Do" was the first single released by the Beatles. The B side was "P.S. I Love You" (You, You, You!) It only made it to number 17 on the UK charts (#1 in the US chart)

Hey Schmitty, it's right there in the University fight song. Here's the first four lines... The word is “Fight! Fight! Fight! for IOWA,” Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is “Fight! Fight! Fight! for IOWA,” Until the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!)

The beginning of the Iowa fight song: The word is “Fight! Fight! Fight! for IOWA,” Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is “Fight! Fight! Fight! for IOWA,” Until the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!) See, it's right there in the University fight song. MAGA Idiots.

When are #NFL players going to start telling the truth when they introduce themselves at the beginning of a football game? Tyreek Hill: "Garden City Community College, Oklahoma State, West Alabama" Gardner Minshew: "Troy, East Mississippi Community College, East Carolina, Washington State"

Kyler Murray is not the answer. JJ McCarthy is not the answer. Can I please see more Carson Wentz? #Vikings

Just a horrible call against the Vikings defense. Not targeting, just a hard hit. You can no longer have a hard hit in the NFL.

More evidence that sports gambling will bankrupt an entire society. 9% of the bettors thought that the Vikings would win the game against the Bears today. 3% thought the Saints would win. And although it's not over yet, 3% thought the Browns (up by 5 in delay) would beat the Bucs. #BookiesWin

I've been to the South Western North Carolina border where it hits the North Western South Carolina border and I've got to tell you that the South Eastern North Carolina border where it hits the North Eastern South Carolina border is slightly better. Not for surveillance...Just for a living.

Voted in Wisconsin for over 30 years. I expect Traitor Tom Tiffany to win in November. Wisconsin has already proven it would rather elect a mediocre, MAGA-loving, corrupt white man over any person of color. Tom Tiffany is the devil and 100% MAGA. Wisconsin will disappoint again.

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

This 30+ year former Wisconsin voter will be shocked if current Wisconsin voters elect a black man. Hong would also lose to Traitor Tiffany for... reasons. Tom Tiffany is the devil and 100% MAGA. Doesn't really matter because Wisconsinites will still vote him in.

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

And yet there are Tom Tiffany signs all over the blue counties that I just spent the last 2 months in. Because the Dems haven't selected a candidate yet, there are no yard signs to compete with the multitude of Tiffany yard signs. It appears that a blue county has turned red, but I doubt it.

Tom Tiffany is the devil. Election denier, Trumper, Fascist. Tried to overturn the 2020 election results in several states. "Tiffany also said there were still “a couple things that were concerning” about 2020 even after multiple audits, lawsuits and other lookbacks found no evidence of problems."

His polling numbers gave him the best chance to beat Tiffany Tom Tiffany crawled out of Donald Trump's ass and we are all worse off for it. But, a POC in Wisconsin has a hard time getting elected, as either Hung or Crowley are going to find out. But Tom Tiffany sucks out loud! So, we're screwed

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Until recently, I was a 30-year Wisconsin rez. Barnes should have won against Ron Johnson, but that's not how Wisconsin rolls. They'd rather vote for a fascist than for a POC. I actually think Hong is in for a bad surprise come general election time. If not, I'll eat my words. But, Tiffany SUCKS!

Out of all those shoes, I think I saw only one pair of Hey Dudes and one similar pair that must have been a knockoff. I guess people realize that if you're going to do a lot of walking as you tend to do in airports, those are not the shoes to wear. No support. That was my airport research project.

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

And the Hoka shoes look like elevator or lift shoes. Those soles are so freaking thick it looks like you're wearing slices of lemon meringue pie on your feet. Even if the upper is decent looking, the sole totally ruins the overall look.

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I found it surprising the number of On Cloud buyers (think QC). They are incredibly expensive, look very weird, and are apparently just a status symbol these days. "Look at me! I'm wearing $150-180 shoes that look like crap. How cool am I?"

Barry Dahl @barrydahl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Yesterday I sat at MSP and watched about 300 pairs of shoes walk by. Then making a connection in Charlotte I watched another 150 to 200 pairs walk by. Out of all of that, there's maybe four or five shoes that I saw that I would be willing to wear. Most of them are butt ugly, and look uncomfortable

Burt Mustin (middle), although Hal Smith on the right is a fine choice as well.

watching a "football game" for 90 minutes that ends with a 0-0 score is exactly why this sport will never take over the USA. Hardcore fans love it, but casual fans think it's dum(b)

The worst possible outcome is that she finishes with a Wimbledon career singles match record of 98-15. On the other hand, she just might hit triple digits in wins. I'd love to see it.

That was a big deal. It's still a big deal...but not as big as it used to be...so maybe "big" isn't the right word for it...maybe it's a medium...and I don't mean medium in the supernatural sense, in fact, maybe it's median...as in somewhere in the middle...but it's no longer big...it used to be big

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (27), Joe DiMaggio and Lefty Gomez (41), Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford (61), Derek Jeter and Marian Rivera (98) would all like a word. Hell, even Mark Messier and Mike Richter (94) would like a word
