The great molasses flood and the “stupid lady who sued McDonald’s because her coffee was too hot, can you imagine?” are the same story

It’s a real wasted opportunity that there are four tennis grand slams but only three playing surfaces. Time to make it a proper challenge:
French Open - clay;
Wimbledon - grass;
US Open - hardcourt;
Australian Open - hot coals.

Ah, man, sometimes one only catches oneself accidentally assholing in retrospect. The tone of that first reply was DEFINITELY not meant to be “well actually” 💀

We have not seen each other in such a long long long time but HUG. This was us and our dog earlier this year.

My parents always texting me from Mexico, horrified: we read the reports of dangerous weather!!
Me: I’m taking this seriously but also every time I’ve taken this seriously before we got 2 inches of rain and then it froze.

I was saying to someone that the first goalie fight I ever saw live was an unwilling one (I think… Ray Emery whaling on Braden Holtby while Holtby squirmed like an eel) and when I saw Bobrovsky coming down the ice I was like nooooooooo

They did get 5-min majors for fighting and 2-min minors for leaving the crease! Served by Toffoli and Vilmanis (my FAVORITE thing in hockey is proxy-box-of-shame when goalies get penalties). But I am SO TROUBLED TO KNOW they did something to fuck up the EBUG magic--I didn't know this!!

We're probably so old that Four Loko would climb out of the bathtub and throw us in instead if we tried

*didn't exist.* This is troubling to me. Again, I understand the reasoning behind not offering flights. But... just disappearing Moscow from a list of thousands of destinations? It makes me wonder what else the internet doesn't let me see, particularly in instances when I don't know to catch it.

…ah, right. Haha.
But maybe I will still torture people with wheawing? “I’m canon-balling now!” I will tell them when they ask for clarification.

>was the cynicism of it, which I do feel somewhat better about. While "this was taken out of context" is... well, shit, I actually *do* find the context compelling in terms of the question of cynicism/pretending--it draws me toward the "genuine" side. Anyway. Hockey bros + joy not mutually exclusive

Yes to all of this! To be frank, while it's incredibly shitty that they speak that way about women and about the "gay hockey show" in that way neither of those things really made me feel *betrayed* or duped. It is what it is. Hockey bros incorporated. The troubling/bad-feeling-in-the-stomach thing >

I am about to leave a delighted comment shortly but just saying if someone had begun writing an elaborate role-reversal AU of Man from U.N.C.L.E. with serious Hollander-Solo and fuckboy Rozanov-Kuryakin they would be SO PLEASED TO SEE THIS. Letting you know for a friend.
