I've been driving for almost 45 years and my default has always been to expect kids to do the wrong thing. It's stood me in good stead. I'd say over that time, I've had a half dozen or so incidents where a kid has done something like run out into the street, or lose control of a bike/skateboard, right in front of me....

Well, since we're talking about the Phish, I'm sure we can agree that we hope whatever they do will be an abject failure....

Are you referring to the hiring of Flores?

US media likes to portray hockey as a series of fights interspersed with the odd bit of skating and shooting, (and the above story posted by Dan doesn't help ) but they have no idea.... ...we even treat Bingo like it's life or death: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/bingo-brawl-erupts-between-seniors-over-seating/ar-BBTfnwo?li=AArWeBz I have this mental image of the two old girls rolling up their sleeves, dropping their dabbers and then chucking the knuckles, while the other patrons start pairing off and grabbing ahold of each other's sleeves, while watching the two main combatants....

As a Sooners fan, it's hard for me to feel anything but enmity for anyone who played for Texas, but watching that kind of talent being thrown away always makes me sad. For every gifted athlete who wastes his or her skills, there are a hundred, busting their humps for just a chance.

Guy at the top right....reminds me of a double naught spy.....or a brain surgeon....

I think that if you want to see provinces separating from Canada, such a measure would be a good way to get the ball rolling. Here in BC, we're already tired of Ontario deciding who our PM is going to be. Having Ottawa make all of our decisions probably won't play too well in AB or BC....

It's people like this that give religion a bad name: https://www.foxnews.com/us/couple-and-teen-arrested-for-death-of-boy-7-after-punishing-him-over-memorizing-bible-verses "Spare the rod, spoil the child"....

It's -8 right now here in PR, but bright and sunny....no snow on the ground...in fact, I might hit the park next door to toss the old pigskin around myself... ....yes, I'm gloating...

Glad to see that you took it in the spirit intended....as a joke. (As if I'd actually advocate doing something like the Europeans did to the Indigenous North Americans ) Some seem to have somehow missed that....

So, according to this study, the Little Ice Age was caused by European immigrants to North America who killed massive numbers of indigenous peoples: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/weather/topstories/european-colonizers-mass-killing-of-native-americans-caused-change-in-climate-study/ar-BBT4ANG?li=AAggNb9 I think it's now clear what we have to do to combat "Global Waming".........we need to take out everyone from a prairie state, or province. Maybe something in the chewing tobacco that will render them sterile, or some kind of chemical treatment on banjo strings....

Mavs are looking like Club Euro....(not that there's anything wrong with that...)

I'm pretty sure this whole Polar Vortex was caused because Xi had all 1.4 Billion of them open their fridges at the same time...

Wow....when those Chinese pull off a hoax, they really go all out, amirite?

[Official] Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball thread
RUPERTKBD replied to The Stork's topic in Off-Topic General
Jays have signed Freddy Galvis to a one year contract. (plus a club option for a second) Galvis played all 162 games for the Padres last season, most of them at short. The deal provides insurance for the Jays in the infield, in case of injury, or if one of the young players struggle. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/news/blue-jays-sign-galvis-to-1-year-contract/ar-BBSUNRM?li=AAggNb9 I give Shatkins credit for this one. It looks like a solid signing. -
I could care less about the Pro-Bowl, but I gotta say Jarvis Landry doing pushups after dropping a sure TD pass from DeShaun Watson is my favorite moment in PB history...

The Official European Football (Soccer) Thread
RUPERTKBD replied to Scottish⑦Canuck's topic in Off-Topic General
I think we might be reading a bit too much into it. I've seen calls made and calls not made in pretty much equal amounts for similar plays over the years. I doubt there was anything to it, other than the ref deciding it wasn't worth a penalty. Possibly a bit of "game management" with the score level, in a Cup final.... I think we tend to see it a certain way, because we all want to see Phonsie do well, but I don't see bias anywhere in the situation. It was just a call that didn't go his way......this time. -
@Chip Kelly: You need to edit that post. Mods are likely to delete at the very least. At worst, you might get a suspension, or have the thread shut down.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/spanish-rescuers-find-body-of-toddler-trapped-in-well/ar-BBSKuuz?li=AAggFp4 These kind of stories are like a punch in the gut. I can't help thinking of how the poor little guy spent his last hours of life....

Sadly this is true.... ...there are a lot of people who hear "oil" or "LNG" and are automatically against the proposal, without even bothering to educate themselves on it. We see it up here a lot. There is a big difference between LNG and oil, but to a lot of so-called environmentalists, they're two sides of the same coin.

No idea. Thought it was pretty funny though....
