    OT: Idioms

    - Cold enough to freeze the balls off of a monkey (great Naval expression - can never get my son to say it in class). - can’t hold a candle to him (not good enough to be his apprentice) - can of corn (great baseball saying, great backstory) - the heat of the dog will melt the cheese -

    Question for Boneyard teachers, particularly high school teachers

    I can’t help but picture businesslawyer waxing his entire pubic area and then making this same argument next summer … just to please Huskyforlife.

    Reibe and Furphy at FIBA U19s

    Geez. More fluid than Cam??? Why stop there? I hear he is seven feet tall! …. Kills men by the hundreds. And if he were at UConn, he'd consume the Big East with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

    OT: Coolest thing you found at a tag sale

    About 15 years ago I scored an old-school electric pencil sharpener. Told them I was a teacher, got it for $1. It effortlessly makes pencils so perfectly sharp … every high-schooler that uses it smiles in amazement.

    Got Summer Plans?

    Leaving tomorrow (our last day of school) to drive my 06 Odyssey to Tarpon Springs, FL to give it to my mother-in-law (the van, that is). Asked a friend to join. Others heard, now we’ve got 4 in the van for a six day trip. No real plans, other than 1 hotel booked in Savannah and an invite to a...

    OT: Question for seasoned sports bettors

    They price that in there … things that correlate (or cause??) are either not allowed, or they price it in. For example, tonight Indiana is +5 underdog vs Atlanta (both are -110). If you parlay Indiana’s Mitchell getting over 18.5 pts with Indiana +5, you get +173 odds. If you parlay that same...

    OT: Question for seasoned sports bettors

    On Fanduel, a 5 team parlay (all with “even” odds, or each team at -110) pays $2,435. It should pay $3,100 if there was no vig. (They price it by hitting each additional leg with a vig). So if you bet 32 5-team parlays for $100 each, probability says you should win one (+$2,435) and lose 31...

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Any skin in the game? “Calling” not very impressive, especially since (1) no evidence of a bet to back it and (2) the Pacers are no where near winning this series.

    What's the best sporting event/game you ever attended

    #1. Patriots tuck rule game. We went in a big RV, I avoided the weed brownies, great photos with cheerleaders before the game, game tying field goal kicked right at us (looked short), lost my camera in the celebration. #2. Patriots beat Bengals in 1985 to clinch playoffs. Watched fans tear down...

    OT: Need An Electrician

    Wethersfield electric LLC. The owner Alex is a former student of mine at BCHS before Clingan’s time. He and wife are some of my favorite all-time former students. Super nice guy, super knowledgeable and thorough. He did a bunch of panel work to get my old house up to code before selling, in new...
