I’ve heard that version too, but I default to my grandma’s explanation until I see a definitive opinion from the Organization for Very Elucidative Yiddish Insults - Zionist Mishegas Interrogative Rulings (OY VEY IZ MIR) Division.

In fairness, most of TO’s constant need for attention and other personality quirks can probably be traced back to his screwed up childhood.

It is not! As it was explained to me by my grandmother, schlamazel and schmagege are a paired set of insults, both meaning “loser”, but in a different way. This is how she explained it: A schlamazel is the waiter who always pours soup on his customers, while a schmagege is the customer who always gets soup poured on…

Tumblr is already shipping Flaming Log with Mei, with skirmishes breaking out over whether to call the ship “Fire & Ice” or “log(Mei)“

Not that this actually matters, but for the sake of accuracy, he’s a former Cruiserweight Champion, not the current champion.

In a lot of cases, this sort of sexual assault/harassment is as much about the power than the sex, if not moreso. Weinstein is an uber-rich Hollywood mega-producer - if he wanted to just have sex with beautiful women, it wouldn’t be that hard to find consenting partners.

As a Jets fan, I don’t have any especially warm feelings for Mangini, but this whole ‘Fredo’ thing a few people are pushing is crap. Belichick was pulling some shady shit, blatantly breaking the rules. Mangini kept quiet about it until he became HC of the NYJ, at which point he told Belichick “I’m not gonna say…

Experts note that, despite the spurious nature of the charges, Kanter really has no defense.

To support him, the Pirates are planning to hold a Testicular Cancer Awareness Night.

Think of it as a marketing opportunity. “Come to [OurCon]! We’re like GamerCon, except not run by incompetent gobshites!”

+1 Shocking Twist

A lot of the photos seem to come from the Japanese promotion DDT, which is primarily a comedy promotion that occasionally also has incredible matches.

Dammit! Different path, but you beat me to the pun. Nicely done.

As punishment, he’s gonna have to come off the bench next game.

Ah, the ol’ Jokic-doke.
