I had to triple-check to find it myself, so I feel you. So to speak.

It helps that United couldn’t do more than barely squeeze out a point against Everton today, which leaves them with a game in hand but more than 3 points to gain.

I don’t recall concern trolls using crying with laughter emojis. I think she was just having fun.

Where I grew up used to have lots of traffic circles (as they were called locally). The rules depended on what you were doing. If the circle you are coming to is two lane, as most were:

I see the coach has now been arrested. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/apr/04/eldense-coach-arrested-barcelona-b-police

Yeah, I was going to comment on the CSL. I remember hearing about strange dudes perpetually on cell phones at matches in Toronto, sometimes being chased away from games.

Clearly they’re a threat to take away Ben Carson’s job.

Thanks for the correction. I always hesitate to repeat these meme-style things that show up on my feed. But this is the internet, and I cannot help it.

I saw today that NZ beat Fiji only 2-0. In a stadium that holds 35,000 people there were 50. And one WENGER OUT banner.

Not me. I imagined them coming out from behind those hills and joining us in our otherwise mundane existence.

Much of the rest of the country calls them Canuckleheads.

Let me rephrase: They bring money to spend, interest in other teams. This is what the English teams have learned, that girls playing now = women spending money later.

If it’s run in the US like minor sports are in Canada (and here I am mostly familiar with soccer, and to a lesser extent baseball), then every time an amateur player signs up to play for a league, a portion of their fee goes to the league, a smaller cut to the regional organization (state, province, what have you),…

Recovering from a scotch night, wondering why I’m up so early. Probably feeling crabby.

Yeah, because NHL players are famous for not being able to play through injuries.

At Sears here in Canada a couple days ago with my wife so she could pick up a cheap spring jacket, I was eyeballing the bizarre volume of assorted crap they keep on shelves in front of the tills, and this thing of beauty caught my eye. Even better, there were two of them! They certainly know their customer base.

I choose to remember the sheer joy.

Someone put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABble.

Ron Howard did a documentary about the tour, Eight Days a Week. They did a good job of lifting the music out from behind the mess of noise. And the answer is No, the Beatles did not mime their playing. Worth watching.
