Colangelo went on to say that “they won’t catch me, I’m fucking innocent, they won’t break me.”

I swear I’ve seen Cheap Trick much more than some of my “favorites” just because they open for so many other bands / artists.

That makes much more sense.

As a practical matter, can someone explain how being fired can lead to loss of pension? I thought once you’re fully vested in a pension and/or 401(k)/retirement plan, that money is fully yours. Maybe it’s different for public employees?

God help me I hate citing Wikipedia as a source:

TIL the demonym of Monaco is Monegasque. Thanks!

It’s cool, full disclosure: (very casual) Astros fan here... and while Drayton McLane left the Astros cupboard bare when he sold the team a few years ago, it wasn’t the complete mess that Loria seemingly left the Marlins in.

First off, whoever made the decision to have him appear on Dan’s show should be fired

I’m a guy, and sometimes even I just don’t understand all this. I enjoyed all three of the Soderbergh Oceans films (heck, get me in the right frame of mind and I’ll argue that Ocean’s 12 is a cinematic masterpiece), and this trailer looks entertaining, so why would I not see it?

I saw those books but didn’t realize what they were. I totally missed the boy moving the broom.

Ha I know exactly which one you’re talking about... the lady’s got a pretty face but that hair - what is up with that?

Yes!!! Even my mom who loves every commercial said, “eww, did he just stick that earbud in her ear?”

I was trying to figure out who that was between Woodson & Eddie George in that photo (it’s Danny Wuerffel BTW) and came across this...
