What is that? I mean, how can it still be attached at that angle?

They didn't turn it far enough around.

I can understand getting busted for DUI after the wedding, but BEFORE?!?

That's the only way I'd go to my wedding.

You may already know that bait and groper are types of fish but the rest of the dialogue is like nothing I've heard.

The author of the article does not appear to be Australian nor is English his first language. It may be a story that was (mis)translated to Urdu and back again.

Although, I've never been to Queensland...

It almost sounds like a bad Monty Python skit that doesn't make any sense.

Not exactly a news story but I didn't want to create a new thread...

I haven't really followed college basketball all that much but I was looking over the scores from yesterday and I did a double-take...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaabk/southeastern-louisiana-lions-at-saint-marys-gaels/game-center/sp-id-30401000002032312

St. Mary's College vs Southeast Louisiana in some post-season game... St. Mary's won 89-45. They won by 44. That's not the kicker. The game ended in TWO OVERTIMES.

OT periods are 5 minutes each, so St. Mary's apparently outscored SE LA by 44 in 5 minutes of play. What The Fuck.

ETA - after checking into it, it wasn't an OT game after all.

But now I'm confused... men's college basketball games are played in 20 minute halves.

This game summary seems to show it played in quarters...

Interesting. It had never occurred to me to ponder the proper word for a group of haunts -- doom seems well chosen.

That's amazing. I hope someone buys that place and fills it with white cats because that's the only thing missing.

My first thought was "wouldn't the fact that he was standing there prove he was alive?"

Then I saw his picture.

I wonder, under Romanian law, do you actually have to drive the stake in before declaring him dead?

Nobody respects tradition anymore.

Oh, remember when they dug the Ceaușescus back up to make sure they were dead?

He should sneak in to America. He's already qualified to vote. Got it on paper. Then, if he's lucky he could get a job on a city commission in California or something.

I didn't recognize the quote, had to look it up but I've seen that movie a hundred times at least because it was one of the 5 vhs tapes we had when we lived in Italy. I've been meaning to find it and rewatch it.

I can't remember the last time I went into our Post Office and there wasn't a new "have you seen my stolen guns" reward offer in magic marker on a piece of notebook paper pinned to it. It then lists yet another small arsenal in the hands of who knows who.
