I had to go to Montreal to get my U.S. K-1 Visa back in 2003. My wife was concerned about being understood there. I said, “You’ll do fine. You’re American with a Southern accent. I’m an anglophone from Ontario. It’s me they’ll despise.”

I wouldn’t be surprised. Most TV announcers are shills for the NFL. They never criticize the product, just individuals or team effort. Romo either didn’t get the memo, or is actively ignoring it.

I watched the replay and Hamilton didn’t force Vettel off the track. Regardless of whether or not first lap rules are different, there’s still the case of Sainz unable to stick to the track limits after passing Perez, and that was 30-odd laps into the race.

According to this site, there are C, D, and U (unclassified) roads, though they seem to be a throwback rather than an official designation.

Yep, all four wheels off. But then why wasn’t this guy in the shiny red car penalized at the start of the race?

This is big in the Deep South, where churches hold “fall festivals” to try and “de-paganize” Halloween. The worst part is that if Halloween falls on a Sunday or Monday, they shift it to the previous Saturday. I fully expect the idiots around here to move it to this Saturday.

I, too, support the NFL players kneeling, and am generally a fan of Lewis, but if F1 drivers are going to take a knee at every race where the host country has institutional injustice, they’d better invest in knee pads. As bad as things are in the US, this country is far from the worst on the calendar. He’ll, it…

I had the chance to see them at their last gig in Houston, but circumstances conspired against me. I didn’t know (no one knew) that would be my last chance. I will always regret missing that show.

I’m working up to playing “Ahead By a Century”, because I know I’m going to lose it before the end of the song, probably at “No dress rehearsals, this is our life”.

As another old geezer, I’ll point out that 8-track cartridges had the same holes before cassettes. And VCR tapes have similar holes. (And, yes, I actually had an 8-track recorder. I can still hear, in my mind, the “ker-CHUNK” sound of the tape switching tracks.)

Ringo Starr’s fashion sense has really gone downhill. Is senility setting in?

And $20 a pair Nike socks. The socks are key.

Did the defense spontaneously combust? Because they look like they are in shock and grief, and yet none of them are watching the guy with the football.

I unsubscribed from the F1 store for the same reason. My wife got me some gear one year, and I liked seeing their sales. But the morning after a race, before I had a chance to watch it, I’d have an email encouraging me, in the subject, to buy stuff with the winner’s name on it. I wrote to them, and they said they…

I’ve had internet for Comcast without cable. I currently have their cheapest package, where the cable is local channels only. You can easily grab cable internet in the US without getting “cable” channels.

Prosecution successfully argues guy willingly took LSD, jury finds him guilty of being a hippie, he gets sentenced to lethal injection.

My wife suggested that what they really need to do is develop a self drive car that can give the finger.

Trump called the Penguins “incredible patriots”, presumably for showing up. Do you suppose Trump knows that more than half of last year’s team were not Americans? What am I saying, of course he doesn’t know...

It’s ironic how many supporters of the 2nd amendment are willing to give up, or take from others, the 1st amendment. And by”ironic”, I mean disgusting.

Be sure to check the rules for the event. The Louisiana Superdome won’t let you bring in a camera with a lens longer than 6". This wasn’t even to an NFL game, it was high school football (my son was in the honor guard).
