    Arrowhead is natural grass, and it's basically just a brown dirt pit from mid november on. They spraypaint the field green too. The only reason we still have grass instead of turf is that our idiot owner is a HUGE soccer fan(he played soccer in college at SMU or something) and is still holding...

    Not to get totally off topic, but my absolutely worst school memory came from not having AC. In 1st grade we had 3 1st grade classes in our school, about 70-80 kids total. One really hot afternoon the teachers decided to get all the kids together in one classroom to show a video/movie. It was...

    The weather really isn't an issue anymore as far as year round schooling goes, I don't think i've seen a school that doesn't have air-conditioning anymore, at least in the classrooms. I remember sweating my balls off in elementary school in the 80s, we didn't have AC. Those first few weeks in...

    Yep, still using it, we've had it a little over a year now, bought it June last year. About 6 months in I started getting a weird problem where the infra-red wasn't illuminated enough at night, it's like it was only working on like 25% brightness or something, but I emailed their tech support...

    The problem with an app store for a windows PC, is how often would someone even need to use that? The only types of programs that people are buying on a regular daily/weekly/monthly basis is games, and Steam/Uplay/Origin already has that angle well covered. Outside of that, what software would...

    Well, Shaw was easily the best QB I saw play against my team last year. Better than Manziel, better than Aaron Murray. Shaw put up more yards and more TDs in 1 quarter +OT against us than Johnny Football did in the entire game. And he was injured while doing it, that's why he didn't start the...

    Connor Shaw is good. Mizzou was 10 minutes away from being undefeated last year through the regular season if it weren't for Connor Shaw. Came in halfway through the 4th quarter and tore us up.

    I have 2 nephews that are 4 and 8. Their family has always been big lake/boating people, but for skiing/wakeboarding, not fishing.

    Our kid took a header down a small hill in our yard and smacked his forehead right on the concrete driveway. Other than the giant black and blue lump on his forehead, he seems no worse for wear(there was also a couple minutes of crying, but he got over it surprisingly quick and wanted to go...

    This will probably sound blasphemous to pizza connoisseurs, but Papa Murphys take-&-bake males a crazy good pan/deep dish pizza. They put just enough oil in the pan that the thick crust gets really good and crunchy despite its thickness. It's easily the best deep dish from a national chain

    Truth Best thing you can do when buying any electronics (TVs, computers, phones, etc) is to buy what you want right now, and then don't even look at what is for sale for the next 6 months at least, because it's just going to piss you off.

    I honestly think it sounds perfect for a hardcore league. most HC players don't just rush through content as fast as possible, they are a little more cautious and tend to grind a bit more in order to over-level areas for the sake of safety. The new Beyond League portals/monsters are going to...
