Agreed on the pets. My wife grew up with dogs. I did not. She wanted a dog after a couple years of marriage. I hesitated, but ultimately relented (who didn’t see that coming), but had two rules:

your first mistake was going in feet first

Definitely fuck the guy.

Smartass stuff aside, this is an excellent explanation.

I think it's unfair to say that this is the reason they lost. It's probably only 80%, because fuck that guy. 

I know a lot of people are going to take satisfaction and glee from this because of Marchand’s previous actions. But keep in mind.... just kidding, fuck that guy.

WHY ARE WE STILL HAVING THIS CONVERSATION???

You weren’t wearing pants and the neighbor said “your dog is loose”?

Then that makes you a dumb cunt.

seems like a false flag IMO

I, for one, posit that the most Enterprising team won. 

My sister’s name is Becky. It’s difficult to read The Root sometimes.

“This” is a weird spelling of Ivanka.

You’re making the mistake of thinking that any of us care about WHY the Yankees lost when really all we care about is that they did.

This is me. History Buff Vacation Dad. I took my family to Gettysburg and no one understood a damn thing. But I was in heaven. Did the self-driving tour with the CD and got out at every point of interest. Wonderful experience.

*sigh* Nobody gets me.

not the... Brad-Marchand-in-a-scrum kind, but the licking kind

That’s my routine with my dog when I get home and after our walk. I let her just lick all over my face (gotta make sure to keep the mouth closed and nose pinched though) before I take my makeup off and wash my face. 

Only one of my pack is a licker, but her favored target is behind my ears. And, like your situation, grosses my wife out, and makes me and the dog happy.  

He will be playing in the Australian pro league as a member of the New Zealand Breakers.
