Did they speak Greek? No? Case closed.

It was more “fight the power” or “eat the rich” than “git whitey”, but there’s a lot of overlap.

“Maybe next time we’ll paint our skin black so we can win” isn’t racist?

Actually, it, does! But you don’t hear about it - just like you don’t hear about dead bodies in the Thames or Sydney Harbour, even though plenty of them are found - because it doesn’t fit the “Games in less developed countries are disasters” narrative. Just like having the Games in Rio or Sochi is due to bribery but…

This is obscure but needs more stars.

“Aces” obviously is a obviously a respectful reference to the flying aces of America’s proud armed services, you communist.

I have to say, it is an unusually good apology. No attempt to minimize or shift blame, no excessive thesaurus full of verbiage, just an unambiguous acknowledgement that one screwed up. If this is how Canadians say “I’m sorry”, maybe we could all do with being a little more Canadian.

Boning co-workers is like receiving gifts of land from Cossacks - you can have as much as you want, but you have to go through it all in a single day.

The bicycle is already a machine. Yes, it’s a human-powered machine, but it’s fundamentally a human performance-enhancing machine. It’s already moto-doping, but instead of using electric motors it uses low-rolling resistance wheels and gear ratios.

To look at it another way, it’s not random - the person who spent time perfecting the timing and count of her stroke won. Garcia timed herself perfectly, and that was no accident.

nevermind, why is this showing up now?

His new teammates’ alcohol tolerances definitely look bush league.

Cheesesteak’s aren’t the best, or even the second-best, sandwiches you get Philadelphia, which you’d know if you knew anything about sandwiches.

He started greying and dyed his hair to cover it. Not much of a story.

I drink tomato juice plain on flights sometimes, on those unfortunate occasions I need to avoid both caffeine and alcohol at the same time.

That’s true. However, not having guns makes them less of a danger to themselves and others.
