Given that it’s a five hour drive from Nantes (in Brittany) to Calais (in Normandy), and a three hour drive from London to Cardiff, yes.

Feels to me like his frustration after the point in question comes more from the umpire effectively penalizing him one of his last challenges for arguing the point. As Giri says, the umpire allows him to make a challenge on the net ball even though he had already made up his mind regarding what happened after, and the…

Always try to look like a Bada, my grandfather always said, never a Dumba.

Got one for my mom’s boyfriend after I saw him send a drink back for not having a large enough piece of ice.

Women as a whole were (may have been) seen as such by certain individuals. This and like philosophies can be seen in Plato’s Symposium, where Socrates and other prominent Athenians present their (fictionalized) interpretations on the nature of love. https://books.google.com/books/about/Symposium.html?id=uhVDAQAAMAAJ&pr…

Add racist Irish nationals and anti-PC trolls on as Mickey Mouse ears and I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

Hey, Republicans buy sneakers, too (for expensive, poorly conceived political statements).

Charles II would have won every time. He could just keep saying “von Hapsburg” over and over and over...

Then we hold it against the entire committee unless and until we can determine who blocked it. If you were for it, that’s great; just say who was against it, “boys’ club” rules be damned. (I understand that they’ll all say that they didn’t kill it, but that cannot be confirmed unless they’re willing to say who did,…

I actually switched from travel soccer to (American) football between middle school and high school after an especially violent 90th minute challenge (that deserved and got a red card) left me thinking that if I was gonna get hit like that I wanted pads. (Jokes on me, though: I was forced to sit out my entire senior…

It’s for the same reason that Bron and Bosh signing to a Miami team that already hadn’t had Wade was fine*, but the Warriors, having just lost in the finals, are “cheaters” for adding KD, who lost in the finals to the Big 3: Ley and the Deadspin staff, in their effort to be sports media counterculture, decided they…

It’s less e

I have a sneaking suspicion that, had Lebron been the one to shoot the free throws and done so with twelve seconds left on the clock, putting the Cavs up by one, the Warriors would have won in regulation.

This sounds good, but does not hold up quite as well in examination of the greater context. Rousseau, and many of his like, often took less of an issue with the specific ideas they articulated in opposition and more how they benefitted those they did at the moment. A reading of Rousseau can leave one feeling either…

That might be just the lie we need, though. Even the most die hard of Trump supporters—ESPECIALLY the most die hard of trump supporters—know the truth of two words: restrictor plates.

Wile W. Coyote, known user of rockets and rocket-propelled devices. It all comes full circle, but it also works out about as well as the switch onto Curry.

I was “The Horse” in the half-semester I took Chinese because “Ma” (horse) was the arbitrary Chinese last name the instructors assigned me.

Fewer mangled fingers, too.

My mom’s Shiba Inu mix (Chihuahua? We don’t fucking know) is offended by this; as all Shibas know, deflating a ball is an impossible task best left to the larger, monstrous dog(s) in the house.

Peccadillos. Picayune. Quotidian.
