In the same vein, working as snowboard instructors, a group of us came in to the base lodge for lunch, and decided as a prank to mess with our friend/supervisor’s bindings on her snowboard that she’d left there unattended. So we got our tools out and adjusted everything we could totally different/wrong. We made her…

Don’t steal the ketchup packet thing, because it invariably ends up in the toilet and gets flushed, and gets caught on something and never decomposes, and eventually means a monster plumber bill.

Yes, but Survivor Pools aren’t drafted, it’s not like you have to prepare weeks in advance, and can’t react to changing conditions. You send in your pick on Friday or Saturday.  My bartender that ran the Survivor Pool I was in, all he’d have to do was send out an email telling everyone. I’m not really blaming anyone,…

Yeah, and after that Super Mario had his most productive seasons, when it looked like he was going to break 200 points too, he had 199 in 1989, so there were a couple seasons when we’d split up the points for both Mario and Wayne. Unfortunately, that’s when the injuries and the Hodgkins struck for Mario, he played no…

Yeah, some bad teams develop over the course of a season, but it seemed obvious this year, brazen, that the Dolphins weren’t intending to win, were not trying to put the best roster they could out there, or failing that, playing kids with potential and taking their lumps with an eye to the future, taking this year as…

Thanks, I thought I might be the only one. I was trying to follow the thread in the narrative, but then I start to glaze over and zone out, there’s two media personalities beefing about a tattoo, and now I have to watch a dude train a camera on himself and talk for probably minutes, and I’m fully out.

In the 80s office hockey pool era, Wayne Gretzky was so transcendent, would give one team such an unfair advantage that a rule was generally used where you couldn’t draft Wayne as a player, for his total points, but rather would have to select either Wayne Gretzky’s Assists or Wayne Gretzky’s Goals. Eventually, we did…

This thread is like a Chargers home game: deserted.

You know how airlines keep hammering down on pay and benefits and throttling down pilots unions? We’re not getting the best and the brightest to fly our planes anymore. Those guys are needed on Wall Street.

“Who is flying the plane?” ==> “Who’s flying the plane?”

I see it as a near mendel derangement.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of folks. 

Thanks. I’m an old (proof: capitalization, punctuation and grammar used in an online post), unversed in the ways of the cyberfield, and I fell prey to the cropped video too. In that format it did offer an unmistakable glimpse of some sandals, I must say.

Yep. It’s not like a well-placed pun huygens the level of discourse.

Cucamonga?

I know it’s fun to laugh at Trubingski and he’s not the guy with the giraffe neck, but say something funny about the guy with the giraffe neck!

Oh, come on. That is a gratuitously unverifiable statement uttered to appear interesting and subversive. It’s like saying “I’ve been to Pyongyang, actually, and it’s quite nice, great people.” 

[Goes for a quick google.]

My word!...

It boyles my grits that a seminal scientist like Robert Hooke isn’t more well known.  He should spring to mind.
