Sounds like pulling anal beads out of a sea lion.

“For instance, what if a professional male tennis player legitimately (not a Juwanna Man situaiton) transitioned to female without any hormone treatment?”

Another reason why it’s tough to sell out in Ottawa: the city’s biggest employer, the federal government, is not allowed to accept or give out tickets as gifts, perks, etc.

I worked as a house-painter when I was a student about 20 years ago. My boss, just a couple years older than me, drove the equipment and crew in a decrepit van; when there wasn’t room for the whole crew and the trip to the next site was only a few blocks I would ride on the ladders on the roof. One day he blasted this…

Advice on peeling garlic: crush it first, with the side of a big knife or better yet with flattish but slightly convex rock. It’s then super easy to separate the outer skin from the “meat” of the garlic, which you can then mince. Also, crushing it a little before mincing makes it release more flavour later.

Ah yes, the sentient French baseball bat.

Cyclingtips.com says it happened in France, and that it was two assailants. 

My dad is a bit like that, maybe not 60-80 fluctuations but constant +-5. The only time I get car-sick is when I drive with him. One day in the car I was finally about to open my mouth to criticize him for it when I remembered that he hasn’t been in an accident in 15 years when he got rear-ended while stopped at a red…

I bet that sneaky Rat from the Cubs would have found a way to get on base anyway.

“Wouldn’t that be expected?”

Is that Matt Damon’s little brother in the picture?

Like you yourself wrote, a billionaire will invest only some, maybe even most of his surplus money into companies and the economy. A poor person will invest nearly ALL of his excess money into the economy, and likely the local economy: he will pay a local roofer to get that hole that’s been covered by a blue tarp for…

He yaps, he bites, he shouldn’t have said what he did about O’Sullivan, but he’s only been suspended once; he doesn’t make dangerous plays that injure players like Matt Cooke or Raffi Torres or Brad Marchand do.

OK, but what does Oliver Reed up there have to do with it?

Another great song and band from the same show:

The third paragraph under “Why It Didn’t Work” makes no sense, I think you jumbled Arar’s and Nasser’s stories together.

The “I’m gonna git you, little boy” picture from a few seconds before is great too:

I ate at a restaurant but I forgot my wallet so Iraqed up the bill and Iran. “Oh no, Egypt me!” - the restaurant owner cried.

Just his fist but he’s a big dude and Moore was unaware. The story and background leading up to the incident as well as the aftermath for all involved are interesting, worth spending a few minutes on Wikipedia.

In the NHL Steve Moore sued Todd Bertuzzi after Bertuzzi ended his career with a punch from behind. They settled for an undisclosed sum, probably seven figures. That was a particularly dirty play though, Bertuzzi was hit with criminal charges too.
