synchronized swimming is amazing. once i learned that they can’t touch the bottom of the pool, it was an eye-opener for me. now i watch their routines, and can’t wrap my head around how physically taxing that must be.

Meh. I don’t know if water polo counts as “strange.” My thing with Olympic sports: If you can letter in it in high school, it isn’t that weird of an event.

I also find Basketball and Soccer weird. Two sports where acting like someone shoved you is celebrated as an art form and then the offending player gets a timeout. Players that do this should be laughed out of the league.

Like you, I see the point of what he’s saying but would go a different route. When I was just out of college I shopped on a budget to furnish my first apartment, and I made those bargain-basement purchases last forever.

This is terrible and dangerous advice. There is no way that buying furniture with credit card debt in any way could ever put you financially ahead.

No. Assault on a female is an actual charge in the great old state of North Carolina

You, uh, you wanna plane pool next time you need to get out to LA? I would love to have a friend who I know could be effective.

A disappointing DC movie?

I can understand that people might want to demonstrate outside the convention, but who are the delegates inside booing Clinton’s name? As elected as delegates of the Democrat party, if they can’t support the Democrat Presidential Candidate they shouldn’t be there.

a leg up?

Even if you don’t like the Gronadal rocking chair, it’s based on very Scandinavian mid-century rocking chairs. I don’t think they’re trying to appeal to Pottery Barn clientele at all. This style of chair has been around for decades in Scandinavia modern furniture.

“tooken”

I was really hoping for some advancements on the meatball front.

SCAN is actually an anagram for Sandy-colored African nomad, which is ironic because lions are typical pack animals. It’s funny!

Simplest solution. Close down this stupid type of event...Going round and round and round and round, like, literally, brain damaged animals.
I don’t see any F1 or other track races with similar cases, so the inherent problem is with the type of event.

This is very courageous of her to speak out. Good for her. If only Michigan’s defense were as strong.

Oooooh what a badass scene from such a badass movie.
