The Swamp

I’ve found that whenever I take a selfie with my oldest and watch the live video she basically stays still the entire time and over the course of the 2 or 3 seconds I somehow look in 10 different directions and have 10 different facial expressions.

Overheard at the hotel bar, bunch of dudes wearing name tags or polos with company logos:

“You guys fuck around with those geothermals and shit?”

That’s what I call my underwear

Me at my kid’s high school for a field trip today

You punched a gay kid?

You stared at a cute girl on a bike?

You made a remake of a middling tv show that turned out to be much better than it had any right to be?

Real nice guys, we just visited the 9/11 memorial museum.

Keep up the jokes and I will beat your dicks off.

I call third.

If you beat our dicks off, will you then punch yourself in the face?

Rick Tocchet has recorded 18 Gordie Howe Hat Tricks in his career.

Never heard that term before. It's a good one.

Wonder if Tocchet even holds the Flyer record. Wouldn't Bobby Clarke have a bunch of those?

A new catch phrase has entered the lexicon...

Wait, what? Is this mostly an American thing?

Yeah, absolutely astounded a Canadian hasn't heard that. Is Pruitt a Russian spy?

Or maybe it is an American thing as you said.

Gourdie Houwe toque-trick.

LFG!!!!

I'm guessing drywall and Bang energy drinks will be supplied upon arrival?

1000x douchier than the Gathering of the Nigels in England.

Its been great reading the Elon fanboys this morning saying how this is actually a great success for SpaceX...

Your comment but as a predictive tweet:

How long until SpaceX is scrubbed from Twitter's search feature?

Think you had a bad day at work? What if your rocket blew up and then landed on your car. Like Edgar in Men In Black.

Kranepool sends his best. Had lunch with him last week.

Hope you told him to fuck off.

He’s a good guy. I’ll always remember that Kranepool was very welcoming when I first joined the Swamp all those years ago.

Whenever I see a random headline about a team losing a player to the "portal" I sometimes imagine that's it's like a literal portal, like to another dimension.

Coach Saban: OK guys, so remember, like we told you at the start of training camp, do not try to enter the black ring over by the water and fans. We don't want another repeat of what happened to all those 3 stars who can't get PT here. Alright, houndstooth on three. Hands in.

Coach Prime: See that hole? Use it.

Duck: AFLAC!

This entire thing flew under my radar:

Defending yourself against high profile federal charges huh. Not shocked id say.

Eta "This is all about a highly valuable photo,” Michel’s defense attorney, David Kenner, during closing arguments last week, “He was trying to make money. … it is not illegal.”

I don't understand. Paywall. I guess defending yourself doesn't mean defending yourself

Plastic basket, of course.

Had the little rubber drain pipe come off the bottom of my washer. Went upstairs to grab a beer and heard a binging went to check it and the washer was throwing an error, then the water reached whatever and the lights in the basement went out. Nothing is quite as fun as grabbing the shop-vac (on a almost too short extension cord) and vacuuming water up at 1130 at night when you're 5 beers in.

At least I can claim my Internet is out and bug off a couple of hours of work in the AM while I go get a new outlet.

I know Arsenal is struggling right now but I don't know if that is going to help!

If this isn’t lost cover just found, I’d say I have no faith in there being objective truth in the future.

WHAT?
