sadly the arcade fire are still around and headlining festivals (them and the almost equally annoying bastion of non-music fans purporting to be music fans bands, LCD sound system [who i thought “retired”]) are doing Wayhome this year with the killers.

I do believe Goose and Maverick were Navy Aviators as opposed o Air Force Pilots, so would they not have been in a Navy F-14?

I believe Paul Beeston said that by 2018 (I believe that was the year, correct me if I’m wrong), SkyDome (I still call it that, not stupid ass Rogers Centre) will have all real grass and the seats will permanently be locked into the baseball configuration.

The fact that after he hit the ref, he just completely ignored him on the ice and and kept skating to the bench seems to suggest he had no idea of what had happened...surely even if he HAD done it on purpose (which I really just can’t imagine is the case), you’d think he’d at least look down at him to gloat or…

I honestly can’t think of a single guy, even the dirtiest guy in the league, going after an official, particularly from behind. Hell I can’t think of a guy in any sport doing something like this intentionally. They have to suspend him, as clearly you can’t just let this kind of thing go, but I refuse to believe there…

that was basically my reaction to reading the words “rescue parent.” Let me guess, you’re one of the people who signs their birthday cards “happy birthday! from Sam, Jane, and Scrappy!”

in other news, a bunch of soccer players sat down on the field for two minutes, then started the game, but no one could tell the difference.

i dunno, the NHL introduced the trapezoid behind the net for ONE player, why not?

that is both an excellent point, and reminded me to read that thing again. gold. also your screen name is fucking ace.

Rescue “parent?” Unless you adopted an actual human child (and that’s an odd title to give yourself if that’s the case), you are a dog OWNER. Cut this shit out.

“Pre-” almost anything bugs the shit out of me...you’re not pre-ordering it, you’re just ordering it. Ahead of time, perhaps, but you’re still just placing an order. Same goes for “preboarding” a plane or “preheating” an oven. Preheating is whatever you were doing immediately before you turned the oven on. Then you…

totally right.

oh good lord, there needs to be a 80s/90s rapper Monopoly. there are already tons of alternate ones, why not this? “Shit yo, I just put a hotel on RUN-DMC Road.” “Oh just wait till you hit my projects on Public Enemy Blvd and MC Hammer Lane.”

sweet jesus you just caused like 9 flashbacks all at once. i totally remember playing this. i always thought those 3 silver buildings in the corner were the BOMB, and where I would choose to live if 9 year old me had a million dollars. because of course at 9, i assumed a million was totally enough to buy a 3-building…

Not to put too fine a point on this, but I still can’t get my head around the phrase “people of color” (or “women of color, in this case). cause that’s just like saying “colored people” which I don’t think anyone has said since the 50s. Plus, it also still separates white folks the whole rest of humanity, which I…

genius. let us quickly patent this idea and make our millions.

i imagine you are vastly overestimating the training that the staff at disney get. staff with card clearance (of any level) drill for this kind of thing all the time in federal buildings and are used to being a target...i imagine the disney people get training along the same lines as cruise line staff (of which i am…

now if only we could get all the little kids and their parents to ONLY take the bus, we’d be onto something...heck, even just the kids. the parents fly and enjoy themselves, get a couple of extra days to relax at their destination, and the dumb kids show up later, all nice and tired from the bus ride so they go right…

i’d be happy with just a module for all the families and kids, and people who have never flown before, and a separate one for people who have their shit together.

hear hear. excellent job.
