We all have a tendency to bitch about stuff & we see plenty of it here on Covers. But I gotta say something nice here about Covers & the data they provide.
I took Phillies Harper Total Bases OVER 1.5 +120 & was looking for another player to parlay. Was going to take Tatis +115 but he's going up against Fried for th Yanks. Looked at Roberts on the SOX he doesn't put the ball in play enough for me. So I ended up taking the Tigers -1.5 -105.
But my point is that the ability to get data/stats so quickly on hits/K's/HR's etc is excellent IMO.
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
Read an article about a couple who had a craving for late night donuts at a place that has notoriously lousy parking. So they head out & are lucky enough to find a spot & while backing in, 2 chicks on a Vesper pull in & take the spot. His wife rolls down the window & says "hey, we were just backing into the spot" & one of the chicks responds "first come, first served." So the dude tells his wife to let him out & drive around the block while he goes into the bakery.
He's standing in line & hears "thank God we got a parking spot" followed by a giggle. The guy is steaming as he gets to the front of the line & buys all 40 remaining donuts. The girls see what's happening and say "Aren't you going to leave us any donuts?" The dude turns around & says "first come, first served."
Touche!
Costco loses money of them. It's a perk for their membership.
@StumpTownStu
Yup, people would freak out if they ever changed the price. Outstanding handcuffs on members that I can recall.
So sure, we'll sell you a hotdog for a buck fifty as long as you also pay your membership fee & buy all of our stuff like wine, bakery, gas etc.
MLB says "you wanna $6 hotdog or not?" We really don't give a shit.
Best dogs I've had were the Dodger Dog, Fenway Franks & a surprisingly good dog in Houston where they smother it with sautéed onions & it was a foot long. I forgot the cost but remember how good it was.
We have graduations taking place all across the country. Most are happy occasions where kids/parents/family celebrate the achievements of the graduating students. But not at Faluk Elementary in West Memphis, AK.
Moms began arguing & wigs started flying. Then the men had to get involved & it just became worse as kids were crying & screaming for their parents to stop.
No wonder kids grow up violent & learn this is the way to solve disagreements.
WTF?
Do we have any live on the scene video of this event?
Want to blow someone's mind? Try this...have them
Think of a number between 1 & 10
Multiply that # by 9
ADD those 2 digits & subtract 5
Take the letter in the alphabet corresponding to that # (like A= 1; B=2 etc.)
Think of a country that with that corresponding letter
Take the last letter of that country & think of an animal
Take the last letter of the animal & think of a fruit
Then tell them...
This is a simple brain game. It works because 1) Any number multiplied by 9 can have it's product, through adding its digits, broken back down to 9. 9-5=4, which is D, obviously.
It works on the notion that the average person when asked to name a country that starts with D, will say Denmark. When asked to nane an animal with K, will say kangaroo, etc.
For context, when asked to name a country that starts with D, i'm going with Djibouti every time. My "I" animal was Ibex and my fruit was Ximenia. Gotta think outside the box.
Stu, it makes kids laugh because they don't give it too much thought & wonder how you got the answer. Here's one a little more adult...
They say during sex you burn off as many calories as running 8 miles. Who the hell runs 8 miles in 5 minutes?
I'll do you one better. Who wants to be a miler when you can get just as much glory from the 100 yard dash?
No doubt.

Almost every day I learn something new. This afternoon I learned what an "angel shot" is.
It's a code given to a bartender when someone believes they are in danger or are being bothered by someone in a bar. It alerts the bartender that a security person or bouncer is being requested for help.
I texted my daughter but she already knew about it. You may want to share this with people you love or care about.
What a day!
It's hurricane season, so we regularly trim our coconut palm trees. We ended up with about 50 to 60 coconuts. Plummers working on our home & the lawn crew took as many as they wanted which left about 30 or 40. We put a "FREE" sign on the lawn & went to try a new pizza place named Peter's Pizza & it was great. While paying our bill, I saw these huge bags of flour up against the wall & commented about their size to the cashier. She said they've been using the flour in Long Island for years & moved a towel showing the name on the bag which was "ALL TRUMPS FLOUR." I thought WTF; Trump's selling flour now because I'd never heard of it. Evidently General Mills produces it & many bakeries/pizza shops use & has nothing to do with my buddy Trump.
On the way home, we see a car parked by our driveway with a guy loading up his trunk with the coconuts. I approached him & said "hey buddy, leave some for others." He has the balls to say, "Your sign said free & didn't have a limit." I went to my car, got a pen out of the glovebox, went to the sign & changed it from "FREE" to $2 EACH! He shut the trunk & drove away. I bagged up the rest of the coconuts & brought them over to the firehouse because they know who could really enjoy them in the community.
Some people can be real a-holes!
