Also? Even though by the time I buy a new car my kids will be out of the house (knock wood), I will make sure to buy a car that preserves my seat and mirror settings. Every day, I can think of nothing more important.

Yes. For instance, the Leafs were infinitely better when owned by Harold Ballard rather than by a soulless corporation.

This is why I read the comments first. It’s my curse that errors jump out before I see anything else. You and I should commensurate with each other.

It’s on Netflix in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Time to break out the VPN again. Because damn, I loved that movie.

And then Mignolet made two monster saves in the second half, which is perhaps more surprising. Although he still made a meal of it any time he tried to punch away the ball. Best 0-0 draw I have watched in a very long time.

You have to preface your request with “I’m sorry.” Otherwise they know you’re not Canadian, eh.

Also, just because you’re succesful doesn’t mean you’ll be that way when the manager and his group of underlings are inevitably shitcanned. New guy comes in, doesn’t like the cut of your job, and suddenly you’re only getting intermittent first team time, maybe some reserve squad action.

Liverpool offered to top up his wages so he’d be making the same. So it’s not that. No, he just doesn’t fucking care that his career is essentially over. I hope for his sake he’s invested some of the millions he made so he can make it through the rest of his life. Unless he gets work on the pro gokart circuit. You…

And no, not “bad music.” Music not to your taste, perhaps. Have you poked around to see what Adams does with his own music? Here. Not his best, but certainly the one that put him on the map for most people.

I dunno. Why do we talk about movies here?

I also quite like his cover of “New York, New York.”

“And because I’ve never heard of him then obviously we shouldn’t be talking about him.”

We were in Atlanta a few weeks ago, and the first night we ate at White Oak and I’m pretty sure the waitress thought I was going to be one of Those Guys. A bunch of reasons, but she was already in a mood when we got there and then I decided to end the meal with a single malt, neat, and water on the side. Which she…

Now I’m picturing dancing balls. Perhaps as an opening act to Puppetry of the Penis.

Well, thanks. I never woulda known.

“Next time Americans cared enough to understand that an election happening on their doorstep mattered will be the first.” There. Fixed it for you.

We Canadians find this parsing almost tooth-achingly cute. I imagine much of the rest of the world feels the same way.

Thanks. He and his brother both. Parents always worry about how they’re going to turn out, but really, in most cases things work out well. This ignores the fact that sometimes I want to throttle him. Just like my dad likely wanted to do to me, and on down the line. But he’s a much better person than I could have hoped.

The last one reminds me (as if I need reminding) that I have two boys with the same allergies. The older one was working at Montana’s as a host last year and two women came in for dinner, one in her 50s or 60s (I find, like most teens, he doesn’t discern age too well), the other late 20s. After dinner they had…

Speaking as a diehard Liverpool fan, if Spurs’ Eriksen had actually been able to do something right with that Harry Kane doink over the top, that (potential) first goal of the year could have been the goal of the year. But he couldn’t, and as bad as we looked for long stretches, at least we didn’t have to rely on the…
