Okocim on draft with a splash of cherry syrup in it is a shockingly OK way to drink the day and evening away in a Polish bar on the Northside of Chicago.

That is an all-time “we just pulled a hell of a fast one” celebration.

Next time go with Farsi instead of Arabic.

Every time you do a Gaelic Games thing it’s always great, delicate and appropriate and giving good context for whatever’s going on. Thanks (from an American O’Connell) for doing that again.

That’s also a really unfair slight on Colonel Sanders, who was a strange dude and certainly a man of his times, (like the time he beat up his own client in court as an attorney, or the time he shot a competitor over advertising space) but one who absolutely *loved* to fuck with racists.

Shit, exactly. I’m a lifelong Clippers fan too, (I think I like hating myself) and the delight of even making the playoffs those couple of years was how I imagine fans of other teams feel about championships.

Nothing against you, Dan, but can we please have 1000 words from Giri on whether the cat will be able to keep up with the secondary and tertiary contenders on the tour as the ravages of age and feline psychological issues (“I always want to get into the service box, there are four of them, though, and I can never…

Woah, a guy the Habs misused going on to success elsewhere? Never heard that before.

Ichiro was 35 for 117 with 3 HR and 10 RBI against Bartolo Colon

Keep ‘em coming, man. Loving it.

+1 visit to Canada later if they manage to, though.

This was cool. Thanks.

I started laughing in the second paragraph and still haven’t stopped. This was exactly what I needed today. Thank you.
