I did a study abroad in Australia in 2004 and took in a couple of the Brisbane Lions games. They were unbelievably fun to watch in person. It might not have hurt that the Lions were one of the best teams in the league that year, but they were still fun. It was also different because the stadium - The Gabba - was…

I always chuckle at the “Mr. November” moniker for the exact reasons you state. So fucking stupid.

eh, fuck Hertz. This news of them being incompetently run is no shock in my recent experience.

I see your point, but it’s really situation dependent. I needed aid finishing my first marathon because the race organizers, for a marathon in late June, were so incompetent that there were no water or aid stations after mile 18. Had it not been for several other runners I was around having homes around the route at…

Wipers - totally agree with. Cabin air filters - depends on the car. My wife’s vehicle takes 5 minutes top - pop the hood, open the filter door, pull old one out, put new one in, done (no tools needed). My car, OTOH, requires taking off the entire glove box, trim pieces and a shit ton of screws in hard to reach places…

Completely agree. However, I can at least see the argument if the person died of natural causes. Even then, you know the case would be tied up for years when a person committed suicide to avoid judgment (pun not intended) to have the death deemed from natural causes.

It is, unfortunately, not unique to Massachusetts. I can’t find how many states have this rule, but Texas is another state this made news in a while back when Ken Lay (of Enron) died of a heart attack before appeals were finished.

It’s Cinco de Mayo. What are you drinking and eating (or have drank and eaten) to celebrate?

Haven’t seen that one. Will have to catch it.

To me, the funniest is when Rozelle says, “Fullback...” and one guy yells, “OHHHH NOOOO!”

Maybe it’s time to update this to add Manning to the list:

Oh, I know. I drive Riverwest every day. And that’s not even that urban compared to other parts of the city.

I agree, but the OP is not using that definition of urban. In the OPs definition of urban, not even Milwaukee is considered urban. If that’s so, Madison sure as shit isn’t.

goddammit, I hate myself for chuckling at that

Madison is most definitely not urban. It’s a college town.

Jaws.

Ha. That’s hilarious. No, Madison is not urban. It’s a college town.

He’ll have to be Loki for a while
