I don’t understand why cities don’t demand a piece of the team in return for the $500 million investment they’re asked to make. That way, everyone has skin in the game, and the city sees some of the profits from a successful team.

Ah, another Republican speaking from the dais naid (Do As I Say, Not As I Do).

I was wondering if that would appear here, too.

Both in the wrong? Did she refuse to accept responsibility for not participating that day? No? Then how can she be in the wrong? He physically assaulted a student for declining to participate in one PE class session. It's pretty clear whose fault this incident is.

"Joust: 2020", anyone?

But at least in the baseball game, she'd have had a choice in whether or not to play...

Well, it's no "werewolves on penny-farthings", but I liked it!

I don't think that's true. Every site I've looked at states that window A/Cs use ~900 watts per hour (with central A/C using even more), while a fan uses ~75. YMMV, but it appears that fans use just a small fraction of the electricity that A/Cs do.

Yep, I was going to post Folex, but you beat me to it. Great product. I keep a quart spray bottle on hand, and a gallon jug from Smart & Final for refills.

I'm hearing that line in the high-squeak of Christopher Lloyd's Judge Doom voice.

Nuke the entire site from orbit—it's the only way to be sure.

For ants, I tried purchased traps (didn't work), the Borax'd sugar trick (killed ants, but never quite killed off the nest), and the yelling trick (they ignored me completely). What worked? Talcum powder (you can also use baby powder, but avoid the ones made from real baby). As with chalk, the ants won't cross it. If…

I wouldn't say that Angua was the most surprising death in that book. Not by a long shot...

Worst. First date. Ever.

Talcum powder also works. They won't cross it, and it isn't toxic. (You shouldn't breathe the dust, but I don't know if there's a dust you should breathe.)

The first time I heard his 'inside voice' was reviving another character and hearing him whisper, "That's it. Patch 'em up. Just like the old days..." My jaw dropped open. Great character...

Growing up, this was the scariest video game haunted mansion I knew...

Yes... accidentally...
