Good for your parents, le nubian. I hope they added some profanity!!!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, one of the teachers I work with was having the same issue with that bank. She forgot a payment, got a forclosure notice, and immediately went in to pay it. Only they wouldn't take the money because the house was in forclosure. It took her months and thousands of dollars in lawyers fees to get it straightened out. She ended up having to take a loan on her 401k to finally get things fixed.

Super shady.
And whoot, Scrappy, you're a star! Or your real estate is!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay, that's really alarming.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scrappy's house should have an imdb entry. It's just everywhere.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
BoA is the devil. I've only had a credit card with them, but they *refused* to drop my APR from something like 23% even though I had a history of a year or more of on-time payments. (And this was before the economy collapsed; maybe even back before 9/11.) Just flat-out refused.
The local bank I have my checking with gave me a credit card at 0% for the first 12 months. I even TOLD BoA that I wouldn't transfer my (please don't judge) $15,000-ish credit line away if if they would just lower my APR. I had been with them for a long time and wanted to have a record of longevity.
They said no, we won't lower it. I asked, "So, you don't want the interest on my large debt?" They said, we don't think you really are going to transfer it away.
Boom. Gone within 2 weeks. Jackholes.
Also, mindblown by that promo. That official promo.
That's awesome. That's like the Sam and Frodo commercial that TBS ran way back in the day: [link]
Finally, all the talk of soda has me drinking a ginger beer with Crown Royal. I know a dark rum and ginger beer is called a Dark and Stormy; does whiskey and ginger beer have a name?

Okay, the internet is being vague and telling me that ginger beer + whiskey + Angostura bitters is a Highball. But I have no bitters. I am bittersless.
Perhaps a Mediumball?

Oh man! At location where N's soccer camp is, there is a giant sign that says "BEWARE OF WAYWARD BALLS." I need a picture of it desperately.
Maybe the drink could be called a wayward ball?
