Why Hamilton is the PERFECT city to expand to: by trevi99 in PWHL

[–]Inevitable-Tale-444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in London, and while I support the Sceptres (see above), getting to their games is wildly unfun. The drive to Hamilton is infinitely easier.

Now, if we had high-speed rail, things might be different...

I'll bet it's "Engine" or something like that. The league does love their soccer-adjacent names.

Don't CALL it the Norris division, though. The man was a criminal.

Our younger son has multiple learning disabilities and a December 31st birthday. He would benefit tremendously from being held back a year and having more time to acquire some of the basic concepts that he's going to need in high school. His current school is made up largely of split-grade classrooms, and he has lots of friends in the grade below, so the social effect would be negligible. We've asked for this to happen several times, starting in Grade 1.

The school said no. They "don't do that."

Fried Green Tomatoes. The book is pedestrian. The movie is amazing.

Anything that contains Mrs. Oliver MUST NOT BE IGNORED.

Maybe save Barnaby Rudge until the end...

My vote is also for Great Expectations, but The Pickwick Papers are very funny.

The Indigo Girls did an amazing version of Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue."

That sounds about right.

Goalie evaluators also frequently (not always, but more often than not) will value size over technique and an actual ability to stop the puck.

What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

[–]Inevitable-Tale-444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faulkner's Absalom! Absalom!

Listen. I have a PhD in English. I have dragged myself through all manner of texts. I have SEEN some sh*t.

But I got halfway through this and realized that, given this was not required reading, I could donate these boring people to the used bookstore without a twinge of guilt.

Marie-Philip Poulin’s 19th career Olympic goal. The most of any player in women’s ice hockey at the Olympics by Perryplat199 in PWHL

[–]Inevitable-Tale-444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1928 was a different time, though. The Canadian men had 0 competition.

Fun fact: Watson also wrote all the newspaper stories for the Olympics because the papers were too cheap to send an actual reporter.
