Indeed. Everyone who wants to use this Google “pool boys soccer” and see the lack of hits. Then do the tautological search of “pool boys Liverpool” and check out the Deadspin hits.

Saw this with my wife and adult sons on the weekend. As I mentioned elsewhere, youngest son, 20, pointed out that the Skrulls in the movie are kind of an equivalent of the Jews from the mid-20th century: undergoing a forced diaspora, separated, hunted, and able to pass as everyone else (which was and is a major…

Van Beek has a new movie she co-wrote, co-directed, and co-stars in on Netflix: The Breaker Upperers, and it is hilarious.

Right.

My older son used to bug his brother about his “fake fact file.” He’d have a field day with you.

Also, it was a damn fine movie. I’m very glad I didn’t read the review and decide not to watch it. Although I was quite disappointed more of it didn’t take place in Boston.

Canada was glad to be quit of him but somehow he keeps popping up on Canadian TV and now all over the internet.

I knew that, but discovered the other day she was the teen Peter O’Toole falls for in Venus, his last great role. That freaked me out.

Same. I’m Canadian, so some of the British (and even more, the Australian) stuff flies by, but usually I’m able to fill in the gaps, and even missing things he’s brilliant. This one, every panel was gold.

While it’s more about Emery and Ozil, today’s Squires cartoon in the Guardian did include this gem of a panel:

You should also check out One Magic Christmas with Harry Dean Stanton. I recall having issues with that one as well.

Which Boing Boing would have been keen to tell us about.

With a tuition starting at about $8K a year in KY (not DC or NY price, I know, but still...), I think this is the sort of kid who ends up in some position of authority, because meritocracy.

This far north BBQ season is over. So we may have some supplies tucked in a drawer somewhere.

Sorry we burned down your White House. Sorry. Sorry.

IIRC, in Versaille entire wings in the winter would not be heated, and often junior French noblemen would make their way to some hidden frozen corner and drop a log on the floor then move on, sneak back to hang with the Sun King. I don’t recall if cleaners would get to that shit while it was still frozen or if they…

De Bruyne is back now, has been for awhile. He’s not completely match fit yet.

Both teams were sloppy, especially early on. Nerves and pressure from their opponents, I imagine. Liverpool were happy to absorb the pressure: they were well-matched in the midfield for most of the game, and the back line, if Lovren were more disciplined, would have not had serious trouble. When Klopp made the change…

The satisfaction of low expectations.

Yup. I’m a Liverpool man through and through, but neither goal was offside. Lovren was bloody awful, not at all prepared for dealing with a high-octane team.
