I've been trying to think of ways to make these Advent calendar reveal posts more interesting. Can't rely on pulling something unique when I've already revealed the buyback pack and the evergreen pack.
Are there more inserts/special packs to discover? I honestly don't know.
So I figured that combining two packs into one post would spice things up a bit. And that's when I realized what date this weekend was...
Oh no...
The whole 6-7 thing is soooo annoying. If you're like me you're already cringing at the combination of numbers. Some kid just moved his hands up and down while saying 6-7 and launched a million memes. This is worse than Skibidi Toilet because it makes those two numbers basically unmentionable around anyone under 20. We live in the dumbest timeline.
Anyway... enough Gen Z brainrot. Let's open some cards!
Here's pack numero seis
Once again - three base, a Green Plaid parallel, and a Nice List insert. This might be what every Holiday pack yields. I have some thoughts on Paul Skenes, who will definitely not be a Pittsburgh Pirate beyond 2027.
I'm not saying I want the Red Sox to do this, but.. I don't think any team can beat Boston's best offer if they were serious about a trade. Jarren Duran, Kristian Campbell, Brayan Bello, Payton Tolle.. Who's got more controllable talent to offer and the money to extend Skenes long-term?
The Dodgers, obviously. But a top-tier superstar going to L.A. is as overdone as someone saying six-seven. I'd prefer the Pirates pay up and try to compete - but that's not going to happen. Maybe the Mets jump in?
It's gonna be the Dodgers though. Or the Yankees. Ugh...
Also, I heard a while back that Livvy Dunne was the highest-paid female athlete in college, which makes me think that she should try to stay in college for six or seven years (six seven six seven aaah!) cause there's no professional gymnastics league that's gonna pay her $3+ mil a year, and she's not good enough to make the US Olympic team. She's basically just an influencer now. Again.. dumbest timeline.
Anyway, here's today's pack:
Oh look...more Yankees. I thought I'd pulled a Nice List Judge already, but this is a different one. He's in this insert set four times.
At least there's a Red Sox card in here - even if it's Buehler, who didn't even last the whole season with the Sawx.
What fad or phrase annoys you the most? Who's your favorite sports star WAG?
Thanks for reading!

I am very pleased I have aged out of the teenage-kids-in-the-house stage. This fad could have been bad for me around 2013.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so bad. Waiting on line for flu and COVID shots at CVS last week with my 14 and 11 year olds, who are still at the stage of fighting with each other whenever they have to be with each other without a screen. Looking for 67 on various products kept them busy for 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteA. I can't stand 6-7 or Skibidi Toilet. Had some students hanging out in my classroom at break and one of the kids said "6-7". I told them there will be a point in their lives (like next week or next year) where they'll be embarrassed they ever went through this phase. Kinda how I'm embarrassed to admit that I went through a phase where I wore this fluorescent green/blue CB Sport parka back and had a perm back in high school.
ReplyDeleteB. Paul Skenes is a lucky guy. Had to look up WAG. But now that I know the question... I'll go with Bret Hedican's wife.
Thanks to a middle school daughter and two impressionable younger kids, I can't go a day without hearing 6-7...I may have to resort to any number of Wayne's World catchphrases in response....
