Fire’s a troll. They derailed me on a vaccination post a month or so ago.

I’d forgotten about the shaved heads! So that’s why they all have pixies later.

Le Sueur is the brand and they are fantastic peas.

YOU STOLE THAT!

A SLEEPOVER WITH MICHELLE AND A NASA SCIENTIST AND AN ASTRONAUT? MY CHILDHOOD WAS TRASH.

On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve gotten “I can’t believe you were in a sorority”, with the implication being either that I am too ugly/fat to hang with pretty girls, OR that I am too smart to lower myself to that bimbo stereotype? Either way, being in a sorority didn’t define me then or now.

TASTE THE RAINBOW!!!!!!

I was totally gonna say THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT TEETH EVOLVED FOR

That, or immediately projectile vomiting his pee back onto his penis. Because that’s definitely what I would’ve done. YIKES

that’s badass and i am super glad it worked for you!!

They play against the Generals which is a mock team. Its an exhibition. Recall the score of one game was like 150-200. It was a big deal in the 70’s when Curly Jo and crew came to town.

Once upon a time black players weren’t allowed to play in the NBA, so the Harlem globetrotters had all the best black players and played stereotypical black basketball, fast and flashy, against local teams. They quickly learned they could pack the seats by clowning and so they also included a bunch of gags and would…

I’m not a sports person either, but I did once see a globetrotters game. The thing they do is best described as using a basketball game as a framework for showing off a bunch of neat tricks. Kinda the same way people do trick shots in pool, like with the cue held behind their back or whatever. It’s not really about…

they just do a lot of tricks and technical/style stuff

It means they play semi-scripted matches that are meant to be fun and show off their skills. It is like an athletic performance with a good bit of humor mixed into it, but the Globetrotters always win. Make sense?

As a British person living in the states I need lots of sports questions answered including this one...

OK. I’ll bite.

Back in the 80s, a friend from college invited me to be her bridesmaid. We lived hundreds of miles from each other, and had only exchanged brief letters in the years since graduation. I shouldn’t have accepted, but I thought it would be fun to see her and the people we used to hang out with.

In some other timeline where I didn’t step in, my friend might have had a good crazy wedding hookup story to contribute. She and a super hot (although in retrospect maybe he was just British) groomsman were drunkenly making out a bunch at the reception, and as we were about to leave, he was definitely insinuating that…
