skimming the beach on their ultra-low takeoffs and landings

It looked to me like too many players were telling themselves all game long - in an effort to book a ticket to the WC - “don’t fuck up, don’t fuck up, don’t fuck up.”

Bicycle kicked!

In which I now sit alone in my living room listening to Kokomo on repeat, maniacally laughing at the thought of US soccer losing to Montego Baby

...it’s people having shitty demands while looking for places... 

I’m sure there’s an effect, but I somehow doubt the show has that much of an effect. Waco is just becoming more popular.

Increasing property values are only good if you see your house as an asset you want to liquidate.

Yeah, but you only realize that increase in value if you sell the house. Until then, it’s just a bigger bill.

I don’t know, man. I think that’s a fairly room-dependent thing. The casino I generally play in (Foxwoods) does a pretty good job of keeping things under control. I think Black Friday was the main driver in the decline of poker in America. The large crowds in live poker rooms were fed by people trying poker out…

Can you imagine a male athletes having to make the case for, say, baseball, like this, over and over again?

See, when people do that with me, they say something like “Oh wait, I think I have 37 cents here” in a tone like they’re trying to save me the trouble of digging out 63 cents in change.

The people who just don’t like carrying coins tend to not worry about getting exact change, they just try to minimize the coins they…

A thing I don’t like as a customer:

No, my boss hates you too.

That depends. There have been many times I’ve paid with a card even though I had plenty of cash to pay for the purchase. Yep, there are three singles sticking out of my wallet, along with the obvious presence of other bills to pay for that $4 purchase. Problem is that the next smallest bill beyond the first $3 is a…

These stories always just make me chuckle. As someone who has worked multiple service industry jobs in my lifetime, most of these complaints seem utterly ridiculous to me. Most of the one’s listed don’t even sound like line employees complaints rather than managers complaints. Breaking big bills? If I was working the…

Yeah I feel like whether it’s a big deal really depends on the store. Like if you’re at a local flea market or something I’m always understanding to the fact that if this person doesn’t have any change for the rest of the day they’d be fucked. Especially if they don’t have a convenient way to go get more change.

But…

This seems like one of those ideas that someone pitched to the Mayor as a splashy policy that would generate a lot of “tough love” good publicity, but lord will it have massive amounts of unforeseen (or completely foreseeable from some peoples’ points of view) consequences. For instance; disabled children won’t get a…

Clitheroe?

Maybe Hart never made it in the game at a professional level because of his decision-making on the pitch.
