I really feel the date should have ended with a “Deere John” letter...

“I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. ‘Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky’.”

Each of the two lanes have different oil patterns, necessitating different throws and/or balls for them. In addition, the patterns they use are much more difficult to execute upon than your standard house pattern.

I didn’t think I’d live to see the day a football player would tell a soccer player to take a dive even faster.

Hmm, I don’t recall but I guess it doesn’t matter to whom he says it if Bran can see everything anyway.

Speaking of dialogue, is the “chaos is a ladder” something Littlefinger says to Cersei in season 1? If so, I thought that was Bran telling him to watch his back because he knows that LF betrayed Ned.

I’ll bite, if only because you provided nuance. But I disagree strongly, but slightly.

I thought this thread was dead in the water, but then you went and hit it in the ear.

Please don’t think that way. As an Eagle Scout, I can tell you that is absolutely false. There are many things that can be learned that are independent of any ideology: how to build a fire/shelter/first aid/like a million survival strategies, etc.

I presumed the article was about top-shelf athletes and the mental fortitude they must apply to be the best. I could see if you were a casual ‘thoner that some boomers would take the edge off, maybe like you floated to the finish line? Can’t say I’ve ever tried running on hallucinogens. But there’s no way could you…

Beat me to it, but I was going to say something similar: in my opinion, it’s got to be middle and distance running. Ever see an Olympic 1600? It’s not a sport, it’s act of attrition. Whoever runs the the fastest without killing themselves wins, same with marathons. You know you’re going just the right speed when…

My father was never my Father; he was my Dad-O from the moment he held me (props to my mom), until the moment I held his hand when he died.

Factory workers, like the ones in Gina that make your shoes in grossly inhumane conditions? The factories in which investigators were arrested for the first time ever, IN MOTHERLOVIN’ CHINA?

Lol, it must be nice to live in MD. PA sends its regards.

Nah, the basement is great. It’s just like a catacomb: nothing down there but bare beams and bare bones. As long as there aren’t rats...

Bob beat me to it, but was going to say the same thing: any (literally, any) water in your pipes will make it take *forever* to get a decent solder connection.

Amen.

I believe this is what you were looking for.

There is no way in the seven hells that DT can name the countries in the UK.

Serious question: does the fact that she was “a shitty candidate” make her a shitty president? I understand how some voters might find her unappealing, like her voice might be shrill at times, she has some dubious political ties, etc., just as, say, Al Gore was unappealing in that he wasn’t the guy you wanted to have…
