I’m going to infer that Khalid El-Amin slayed BOTH Trajan Langdon and that hat in '99. That might earn him a lifetime achievement award.

Random question but was curious as to the shoes that @Randy was wearing? The low top sneaker style is something I’ve been trying to find for a while
This answers perfectly whether they are doing full double elimination or going LLWS route (aka Bullshit).
Could have just been a solid deal and deep sale rack situation? I remember having a sweepstakes of college bball shorts around ‘02 for that reason even though I’ve only been an IU fan my whole life. You can’t walk away from 50% off at Hibbitts or Galyans
Big Parquet Courts fans in this household. My about-to-graduate daughter just saw them live again.

Not fully caught up but this has been great reading. Also shocking as I’m a 34yo outlier who started at my employer almost seven years ago as a minty fresh engineering PhD. I plan to retire from this job eventually and it seems like I can say:

Older cousin attended KU and would give me some gear. And I was a huge Luke Axtell fan.

I bought a lot of basketball shorts off Eastbay that I wasn’t necessarily a fan of. More because I liked the colors or logos. MSU, Syracuse, Maryland, etc.

Pretty crazy to think some dudes started doing golf hot takes on twitter, and now here we are, and I have what some might say, is too much No Laying Up merch

Out of all the life choices that were covered in that episode, this may be the most disturbing

I think this also explains many of my starter jacket choices as well during the early 90’s
@MrChickPhilA did you end up getting the rhoback polo too?

I did the same. Lots of Nike CBB shorts. No judgment.

Lol. I used to do the same thing. My parents would get so mad when more pairs would show up and I already had 20 pairs.

I fucking love Parquet Courts. Light Up Gold came out right around the time I cut my concert going from about 50 shows per year to maybe 15-20 (it’s now at roughly zero, covid notwithstaning). They’re one of the few acts I still make it a point to go see.
Anyway, the tale of @Randy working at Boyne, with no outside connections/distractions, sleeping when it’d dark and waking when it’s light, reminded me of those Facebook/Instagram/Twitter deals going around where it asks if you’d be willing to go to a remote cabin for a month with no electricity, internet, or phone service, if you got $100k at the end? I read those and I’m like “I’d pay $100k for that”. Sounds boring as a 20 year old. Sounds amazing right about now.

Hey, as a JD that has spent my entire career in public accounting, I’m only a lawyer when people are making fun of accountants. Also, I’m an accountant when people are making fun of lawyers.
Re: Big 4 (or Big 5, shout out to my 8 months at Arthur Andersen pre-implosion), I was Big 4/5 for about 5 years before going to a smaller tax firm for 10 years. Decided to give the big boys a try again and realized very quickly why I left the Big 4 to begin with. Now at a smaller regional accounting firm as our only sales tax person, and it’s great being the sole person in a given field. You can tell people anything and they’ll believe it!
