The Depeche Mode of the Wirral!!!

It’s clear that Russia is colluding with Barca to throw the Premier League....

40mm for the extremely poor man’s version of Raheem Sterling.

At the risk of totally overanalyzing a 30+-year-old TV special... If memory serves, the bomb was a plutonium bomb (checked wiki: yep!), and it wasn’t exactly a military grade construction. If you drop a bunch of explosives on it... Well, assuming the booby traps don’t set it off cleanly (which I don’t think is at…

The UC budget is allocated (now) largely on a weighted per-student basis, with a target goal in mind (which, when this was implemented about 5 years ago,…

You are not, sir. You are not.

You know what else baseball players should do?

Been there, done that, used up a lot of D batteries....

Or you could watch the Bad News Bears, you know.... Better film as well.

Imagine if K-State tried to block Snyder’s transfer to, say, Michigan......

How do you solve a problem like covfefe?
