Wow. I'm glad I didn't go down to Daley Plaza.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. If you go to the front page of MSNBC [link] there's this photo all all these Chicago folks with looks of shock on their faces.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
megan, I had a dream that you were calling me, but I couldn't pick up the phone because I was in a lecture, but i was really worried about you in the dream.
That is all.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
That made me envision an Olympic stadium with a huge "WELCOME, FUCKOS!" banner hanging over the entrance.

"Just eat a muffin, Whitey!" could replace "Faster, Higher, Stronger."

I love both these ideas!
I'm happy Rio got it
1) because of it already being in London in 2012
2) because of my general issues with Madrid (home of ascot man)
but mostly
3) because my coworker who works in Spanish would probably never shut up about it if Madrid had won out.

Yes. That was one of Rio's big selling points.
