Gotta be 162. Expansion is when they went from 154 to 162.

 

Them knives is for your steak and eggs! The only ne'er-do-wells I see are retired old guys who show up at the convenience store at 6AM. They're in there swapping stories when I get my breakfast on the way to work.

 

Yeah, the Irish and the Argies have one thing in common…they’re the two nations that British soldiers have fought and killed in, after WW II. Enemy of my enemy and all that.

 

I seem to recall a story about those two fanbases singing together at a World Cup "If ye hate the fookin' English 'cause they colonized yer country, if ye hate the fookin' English, clap yer hahnds.." Might have been the Scots and Argies. It may not have happened at all.

Anyhow, that's not quite what I was implying. If I have to spell it out... the humorous part of that whole Argentine bus incident is that it featured a bunch of Desi Arnazes tossing racial slurs around- the only White man on the squad (Messi) was not on the bus.

 

In the afternoon we all go to the park.

 

What???

 

Most pro footballers, since adolescence, have few social skills. It shows!

 

The Argentine bus incident. They sang some racist tune, which included implying Kylian Mbappe has been having sex with a trans woman (or implied that the woman he's in a relationship with is trans. I can't recall which), and got called out on it. Messi was initially implicated, but he wasn't on the bus at the time.

 

Oh, I see. Am I leaving someone out? If I am, all you had to do was say "no, __________ was there"

 

2nd base!

 

You think it shows with THEM?? I live in a town that's disproportionately techy. Social skills are like four-leaf clovers.

 

Right field!

 

Correct. I realized that about an hour ago.

 

“No, everyone else was there”

One dude is named McAllister. Hard to get paler than a Scotsman.

 

the accompanying article notes that this is the first time Nagbe has been, despite all of his cup wins. Trump didn’t do this in 2018.

 

Gsus, that cup
When one wants to learn how to screw up a design, just look at that bloody thing.

 

One of these?

 

You should get that looked at before it festers!

 

How did you watch them on the radio?

 

Not sure what that thing is.

Eggs, sausage, butter biscuit with grape jelly. And you get called "hon" instead of "mac"
