You’ve heard of free weights? Well, let me introduce you to free range weights.

Or a commenter handle in these parts.

My father-in-law suffers from it, and it has caused some severe lung problems, although the meds seem to finally be getting that under control.

As soon as 2016 is over you’re a year closer to death. So be careful what you wish for.

Every time someone links to this song I have to listen to the whole thing. One of those happy/sad things. My teenage boys were the first to turn me on to it, because sometimes they have better taste than their old man.

OK, I’ll buy that. I was a ref, but clearly never had to deal with anything like this.

My son just pointed out that if a shot had gone off that guy and gone in, it would have counted. You can’t call back a goal, and he has to be treated like an object on the field. Like the beach ball that beat Liverpool a few years back. So no, that wasn’t “fantastically martialed” by the ref. Although it was hilarious.

Sorry, I was oot and aboot. Glad to be of service at the end, though.

Only bloodier.

I went to kindergarten (and really, this is my only goddamn memory from then) with a guy who ate orange peels. As in, his parents would pack some special for him. I don’t know if it’s a relief or worrying to know he has company outside of the realm of billy goats.

That came from a portion of a collage made by a 4Chan loser. Link in this Reddit post (at the top) if you really want to see it all.

You can pass it as long as the player you’re passing to is exactly parallel with you, or behind you.

My sons and I are all huge ‘Pool fans, and we both laughed and cried. Frankly, we’ve come to expect nothing more of them this year. No doubt it was offside, though.

Posession stats have Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, ManU, and Liverpool in the top five (not necessarily in that order). So in that way, the order of the universe has not changed. But they’re all taking turns shipping goals like sieves and more often than not have forgotten how to stick the ball in the net at the other…
