I recently found a 3-ring binder containing nothing but (randomly generated?) worlds for a Traveller campaign that never happened. As best I can remember, my friends and I discussed adding Traveller to our D&D group: I went full-on nerd, buying the game and (apparently) wasting half a summer naming, describing and…

The issue isn’t that they’re pro-wife beating, (or pro “due process”). The issue is that they change their minds daily: they’re not concerned with facts or rational arguments, just beating the other tribe.

List of things I saw at Chelsea matches in the 90s:

Betteridge’s Law at work again (the answer to any question asked in a headline is “no”): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines

I think more people would go to a match at noon that at midnight - do you disagree?

It’s a bit of a copout to blame the weather. It’s been intermittently stormy this week in DC, not a monsoon.

Or, the worst story I know: after finishing the Giro with a broken shoulderblade, Tyler Hamilton had to have 12 teeth capped because he’d damaged them so badly from grinding his teeth.  

If you’ve ever been curious what a British emergency room looks like at 11:30pm on a Saturday night...

If the men’s track&field world record for the 800m is 1:40.91, and the women’s is 1:53.28, then it stands to reason that the women did MORE running than the men.

I’m not sure if you’re new to the internet (or from Chicago), but reasonable takes are sort of frowned upon ;)

Ironically, it’s our pro-western biases that lead us to think we’re the only ones who ever tried to oppress our less powerful neighbors!

In some (most?) countries, the prestige of owning a sports team and having a few big stars means that the owners are happy to lose money on a team. I don’t think any Russian oligarchs are making millions off their investment, but they are trying to make friends...

I think — like soccer in the USA — the money isn’t really there, but the fact that the money MIGHT be there at some point in the relatively near future, means they better start acting like the money is there.

Coincidentally, I’m way more scared of the 2 guys I sort of knew back in the day who had an entire mime & dance routine that they’d do while lipsyncing to “Birdhouse in Your Soul”. I’m pretty sure those 2 guys are either serial killers, or working for Trump, or both...

Yeah — he’s called “PV” in the clip at the end, short for “Parviz?

In what world does the Netherlands count as a big country?

The Orioles don’t just want Adonis Medina, they’re holding out for Theedonis Medina

Early goal = comfortable win?

Was the Indian burial ground already taken by the Marlins?

We’re rubbish, we haven’t got a chance.
