Right. The ball makes noise when it’s kicked or hits the ground, but it would be awfully difficult to track in the air.

Oh man, this is even better.

Thank you kindly. It honestly took me a couple times seeing it to realize her name wasn’t spelled that way.

The Cloisters is amazing, probably my favorite museum in New York. I love that they actually put the work in context. Although it does give you a Jesus overdose. The last time I went, right near the end there was an illuminated haggadah with two guys holding up a giant gold matzah, and I had this sudden sense of…

Speak for yourself. I go to as many games as I can, and I’d be furious if they tore it down (and I’m 6'4). I agree those are all reasons it won’t be replaced any time soon, and I’m glad for it.

I did. And je ne regrette rien.

Yeah, there’s a reason they used to call it Murderball.

I do exactly the same thing. I don’t love the national anthem, but I understand why it’s there. God Bless America, on the other hand, is creepy theocratic garbage, and the only song that belongs in the 7th inning stretch is Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

Thank you. That’s been my question since day 1. I’d never heard it articulated that the purpose of the anthem was to honor the military until this whole kerfuffle. It’s certainly not what national anthems generally stand for.

Kidding aside, the events for paralyzed athletes have the most hardcore form of doping I’ve ever heard. It’s called Boosting, and it essentially involves a paralyzed athlete breaking their own legs or otherwise causing themselves injury to the paralyzed part of the body (ETA: Including ELECTRICALLY SHOCKING THEIR…

It’s a really interesting game. What makes it particularly impressive that he can score like this is that the goalkeepers are fully sighted–the only restrictions that they can’t have played professionally, and that they can’t leave the goal box during play.

Uranium One?

I hadn’t given it much thought until now, but having only played Starfox 64 ~15ish years ago:

-Peppy: dad’s former squadmate, pseudo-father figure. Way creepy.
-The dog general guy: weird age and power dynamics
-Wolf: Getting involved with someone trying to kill you is usually a bad idea.
-Wolf’s cronies, including the…

Fox McCloud boner costs Slippy his innocence.

...did Winger and Stryker ever do a tour together? Preferably of soccer stadiums?

El Guero is great, but I’d put Ruiz’s cart down at 22nd at the very top. They butter and grill the bun on the outside, which makes it crispy and the whole thing even more ludicrously decadent.

Wait, surely this is a parody of that whole Engagement Chicken nonsense, right?

Thank you kindly. I actually wondered for a split second when I saw the headline.

They’ll only have to play Nice if they fall into the Europa league.
