“If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.” --Carl Sandburg It is the last sentence that applies to this travesty of a presidency.

Umm, remember who turned down whom?

Not that I recall, but we didn't have twitter back then.

They're basically completely unrelated. Finnish has more in common with Hungarian than it does with any of the Nordic languages. Some loanwords may have crossed the border in either direction, but that would be about it.

Well, now I've looked at his concept. It's evolved and no longer looks ugly, but someone our age wearing most of that would definitely be accused of trying too hard to look young!

It's reddit. That's why. (And it's 'whoosh.' Again, reddit, the people who spell it 'woah' instead of 'whoa.')

The post you were responding to was most likely in jest. That's the whoosh part.

Oh no. Where did you see this?

The dispute with management already had been resolved to his satisfaction, and the team most definitely did have "the horses with Peca" to win it all. I wish this site were around at the time; it very likely would have affirmed this.

Each of us was joking. Or at least that's what I had thought. Thus the thumbs-up on @SABRES 0311's last post.

It took me fifteen seconds to figure out that Whitehead threatened to kill three people.

Death first.

Conferences in pro sports are useless at this point, except to guarantee that some of the population on each side of the continent will be interested in the championship. Travel costs are hardly an issue anymore. Just get rid of conferences and go with divisions, and you can have a 1v4 and 2v3 format after divisional playoffs are exhausted. Then, we also can have more division games since we're not worried about playing certain numbers of games in the conference. (Of course, this will disproportionately favor the winners of weak divisions.) (This is not the same as leagues in baseball.)

The best two teams rarely will meet in the finals no matter what system is used. Injuries can come up at the wrong time, teams get hot at the right time, etc. It's a tournament, but it doesn't necessarily result in the best teams advancing or winning.

Not unless his son has a different surname.

Gotcha. The two Top Rank fights on Saturday might have combined for 3 rounds. The first one was over in 1:05, and the second one did not last three full rounds.

No; that stuff is awesome in moderation. Any more than five-ish at a time, though, and my teeth start to hurt. I think we call some of those "old lady candies" here in North America.

Are you talking about "Top" Rank Boxing on ESPN last night? Because that was a joke.

Again, I am just so, so jealous!

I'll put $5 straight on the Bills (current team--no injuries) against Jerrah's best on Thanksgiving. I mean a beer. Or a contribution to something. I don't want to get into trouble!

Remember that? The fight over half a million? So, so silly on both sides.

None of whom ever were a captain in a Stanley Cup final. You dig now?

SDS, Frank Gore didn't have his best game today. He just didn't. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be on the team--he should. But today, whether on the line or on him, it wasn't good.

Towns and villages for me, or the real local pubs. Last time I did hills/forest/mountains, I ended up lost. And with a fever, because dumbass 11 didn't know that the temps in Wales would change by 30 degrees while he was hiking around.

Just got home. I was at the game, and then I had to move around a bit. Somehow I'm traveling a lot lately. The Sabres played well, but lost. One thing I found to be interesting: The Isles didn't use a box against the power play. They lined up three in the center and used the other as some sort of rover? It deserves consideration. Per @nfreeman. who is a mod and who dictates that we not talk politics since the day the Celebrisent was elected, please do not post anything about him here. Thank you.
