We all have shady acquaintances my friend.

What ever happened to after a "thank you" a simple "you're welcome"?

Instead we get a "no problem". That bugs me.

C'mon Mike. Even I say "no prob" fairly often. I consider it a you're welcome sometimes. Maybe I will have to reconsider that phrase.
My least favorite, overused word is "amazing".

It is time to bump this thread, because the widespread overuse of that godforsaken word on this site is batsh*t crazy!! Open (or click on) a freakin' thesaurus, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a side note, watch any show on 'Discovery +' or The History Channel, or whatever, and the hosts continually trot out that stupid word every chance they get. When we start watching a show, we bet on the over/under for the number of occurrences. If it was a drinking game, we'd be on the floor within the first seven minutes!!!

I can't remember who or where, but it seems to me that I saw an autograph recently that the signer had put "GOAT" under the signature.

The only autograph like that that I would even be mildly interested in would be if it was an item signed by Fred Merkle. Can you imagine a T206 card signed that way?

I'm pretty sure Merkle would have signed it 'GOAT/B', which of course stands for "Greatest of All Time, subcategory Boner"

I believe that the most fitting inscription would have "Bonehead". Unfair since he had a very nice career. That said, it was an iconic boner, a term more appropriate to the time in which he played.
