Was it your cat? Or a fellow passenger’s cat?

There was someone traveling with them in the aft of aircraft. The dog was probably supposed to be in that seat and this wackadoo moved Dog after they moved from gate.

I was a little afraid to google this, but I’m glad to know it’s work-safe. Corporate IT will not be confiscating my computer...today...

And totally not necessary because by junior high, the vast majority of kids who aren’t super good at whatever sport aren’t even playing it anymore. That’s the real problem— the push to have kids specialize at a sport at like age 7. Travel teams for first graders. Three practices and two games per week in baseballs for…

Eh, I won actual trophies as a kid (although not in sports because I was a frail asthmatic with the physique of an emaciated flamingo) and I’m all in favour of encouraging kids just for participating and doing their best. ‘[...] sometimes your best is not enough’ is a terrible message that, rather than incentivising…

I’m glad this brave man had the courage to stand up for such an important issue.

So you think that life won’t teach them that lesson? Because it does. Removing participation trophies is not some magical key to churning out motivated youths.

You don’t need to remind most kids on a sports team of that. The ones who aren’t very good are acutely aware of it.

Participation trophies— the non-issue that every crank loves to yap about, usually with a heavy dose of “when I was a kid . . . “ The fact is, they just don’t matter much. They hand them out at the end of AYSO soccer and I think Little League, usually when the kids are about 4-9 year old. Along with a cupcake. They…

I had this debate with a friend yesterday. I’m on the side of arguing that these trophies are encouraging to kids who might otherwise not stay engaged, for lack of athletic prowess or whatever. I played multiples sports as a kid, and we all got these trophies. We’re all fine and hardworking adults now. You know as a…

I love how Harrison became an internet hero after he straight up yanked trophies out of his young children’s hands and was like “Earn it bitches!” In my book that makes him an asshole. Like even if you disagree with them receiving the trophies, taking them away and then being a dick about it on the internet for all…

All my dyslexics live in Texas.

I didn’t see Jesus mentioned once-not from Oklahoma.

Indeed, old boy

If you get to drink with McQueen, then I’m throwing James Garner’s name into the ring too.

Junior Johnson. I saw a couple other NASCAR drivers on the list, and sure drinking with either one of the Dales would be cool, but I’d rather have a nice glass of white lightning with the man that truly raced on sunday and bootlegged the other 6 days a week. I’m a sucker for those kind of stories, since my late…

You could argue that other historic NASCAR drivers had more talent, but few drivers in any discipline have had more an interesting character than Earnhardt. His death spawned numerous safety improvements, not only in NASCAR but also in the rest of the racing world. He’s easily one of the most significant drivers of…

you dorks can have a drink with Senna of Fangio or whatever. I’ll be having mine with Shirley Muldowney.

Michael Schumacher.

Apologies for basically repeating your comment. I didn’t see it when I was typing mine.
