True, but also, we don't know if the clock is correct and intentionally put upside down. Would make anyone visiting have to think about it.

There's too many bets placed to do anything else, but I still feel a little sorry for the kid, because I still fundamentally criticize the way every league has embraced gambling.  
 
Note that he'll probably lose the right to stay in the US, too.

Comment of the Day from the Book of Face:
 
"If Edmonton wins this they’ll collectively take a week off work and name their biggest street after Connor McDavid.
 
"If Florida wins this half the residents in Miami will Google what the Stanley Cup is and why a small boat parade is happening."

They made a movie about this. .. 
 
 

No bang either, at least today.  But bang tomorrow.  There's always a bang tomorrow.
 
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I believe we are allowed to poke fun at other game companies' IP.
 
 
 
Though this next one doesn't need spoiler tags.
 

Oh dear.
 
Ronald Acuna Jr gets a double.  Tries to take off for third, it looks like...but his left leg *collapses*.
 
ESPN is reporting a complete tear of the ACL.
 
IIRC, that's *really* bad...it requires more complex repair, and recovery time is substantially longer than for a partial tear.

Oh, you've worked retail before, too.

Something I find hilarious?  Other than the whole thing, but...
 
Most teams at the Little League World Series play better fundamental, technical baseball.

It's the 40th anniversary of The Black Suit
 
 

 
 
Also...I'm old

"Father!"
 
"I am not our father. There are so few Vulcans left, we cannot afford to ignore each other."
 
"Then why did you send Kirk aboard when you alone could have explained the truth?"
 
"Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize."
 
"How did you persuade him to keep your secret?"
 
"He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise."
 
"You lied."
 
"I... I implied."
 
"A gamble."
 
"An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet."
 
"In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race."
 
"And, yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet on which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right."
 
[turns to leave] 
 
"Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say...good luck."

Last night, I had a horrifying dream that disco was actually making a comeback. At first, I was afraid. I was petrified.

I needed to do the laundry, but then I realized I was out of detergent, so I went to write a shopping list and realized how unorganized the junk drawer was, and started checking pens for ink. When I went to toss all the junk, I saw that the trash was full but before I took it out I wanted to get rid of old food in the fridge. That's when I realized a juice jug had leaked so I needed to clean it up but when I went to grab a rag. I saw that the pantry closet was a nightmare so I started organizing it. And that's how I ended up on the floor looking at my old photo albums from 1990's and not doing laundry.

Part of it is that my nonverbal daughter LOVES football. She will bounce, laugh, giggle, and even occasionally shriek when football comes onto the TV. She'll look up Super Bowl highlights on her Kindle when she tires of her usual PBS programs. She's even shown a preference for football over the various Disney movies lately. It's almost painfully adorable.
 
Oh, and she loves hockey, too.
 

Patrick Troughton faced a daunting task, having to replace William Hartnell not just in the lead role, but as same character, only radically different. It was an unprecedented concept for television, and if he and the writers hadn't stuck the landing, Doctor Who would have ended then and there. Fortunately for all Whovians contemporary and not yet born, they did.

I haven't tried yoga, but I have tried bending over to pick up my keys, so I am pretty sure I'd hate yoga.
