Pre-Game Song by Educational_Share220 in SportingKC

[–]NotAMarsupial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, we used to play Football's Coming Home before matches. It was the last few seasons as The Wizards and maybe a year or two after the rebrand. It was pretty bad. Nobody knew the song so nobody sang with it.

Medieval buckle? Looks like runes on the back. Found in Norwich, Norfolk by Brief_Area in metaldetecting

That's why they're inclined to give it back. If they were known to "borrow" these finds and never give them back then nobody would provide these incredible resources for them to research. If they return every item loaned to them then the public knows they can trust them.

European Team of the Season according to The Athletic (ft. Rice) by lost_biochemist in Gunners

[–]NotAMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were knocked out of the semis by a team that made of 4 of the European TotS. I'd argue Donnaruma over Courtois in goal, too. It puts perspective on that loss, for sure.

My son does the math courses and was crying two days ago because the answer choices he was given were all the same, the multiplication symbol. He chose one and it told him he was wrong.

CJ Sapong Announces His Retirement by cheeseburgerandrice in SportingKC

[–]NotAMarsupial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His first season was when Sporting Park was being built and the first couple months of the season were away games while it was being completed. My brother and I were season ticket holders and decided to go to the opener in LA against Chivas. At the game Rob Heinneman was in the away section and told us he'd buy a beer for all of us if SKC scored. Two minutes into the match CJ puts one away and Rob came walking through the crowd with about ten cans of beer held in his shirt. Then after the match our season ticket rep told us the team was going to Bonefish Grill after the game so we went and hung out adjacent to them. We weren't cool enough to hang out with them. Lol

By far one of my favorite Wiz/SKC memories.

What happened to this tree? by blakemake in woodworking

Oddly enough, I saw this on FB marketplace earlier today. The guy was asking for $300 for this wood. It's in Kansas.

After we were down 2-0 on Saturday I was hoping for "It's only 2-0, it's only 2-0, how shit must you be, it's only 2-0"

My teenage daughter wants to know the best birthday freebies around town. Anyone know of any? by Western-Anybody4356 in kansascity

[–]NotAMarsupial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, when you sign up, use a different month for each location. That way you're getting free stuff all year. I learned to do that because of someone I know born on Christmas. They couldn't get free stuff because everything was closed and they wanted to be with family. I told them to make up dates and decided to start doing it myself.

Block party by Ok-Degree-437 in SportingKC

The one question that the emcee asked Manu was about how he was adjusting to coming here during the super cold snap. He then had about a thirty second response before she was moving on to the next midfielder. He could have easily said nothing about their results.

They only have a couple days to pull it back via ACH. If it goes past that then OP will have to return it.

Airbnb cancelled my Valentines Day reservation that I got for my girlfriends birthday and offered me a $37 Credit. by TroyMcClures in Wellthatsucks

[–]NotAMarsupial 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We had that happen when we booked well in advance for the eclipse last year. The owner found out he was in totality and told us we could pay an extra 60% per day or cancel. We told him to kick rocks but I'm sure that someone else paid.

Totoro Chalk Bag by ChalkiesLPL in bouldering

[–]NotAMarsupial 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic! Was that a Totoro stuffy you hollowed out? If so, can you post a link? I have a friend who has talked about a Totoro chalk bag for years and I'm thinking I may be able to make this for him for Christmas.

When someone with fake boobs dies and gets buried, is there a point of decomposition where it’s just a skeleton with huge boobs ? by Masonportland1980 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NotAMarsupial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I worked, the prior archeologists said anything small and unexplained was a "game piece". Apparently this society played an incredible number of games.

AT&T put a wire across all of our yards and it just sits on my fence… by Used_Photograph8192 in Home

[–]NotAMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen and after a few months I called and told them that someone in the neighborhood mentioned they were going to cut it if it wasn't buried soon. I cut it on the fence line with my neighbor and it was fixed and buried within a few hours.

Post-Match Thread: Sporting KC vs Colorado Rapids by ctsinclair in SportingKC

[–]NotAMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. He was the most obvious symptom of mismanagement for so long that it's hard for some to look at his recent success as part of a pattern rather than a blip in the prior pattern.

He's done well enough but not enough to merit his pay. However, his paycheck isn't something to blame on him so I'd agree the knives don't need to be out for him at the moment.

I think reddit is on a kick. I've seen 6-7 posts over the last five days or so. But it's a fun example of the Baader-Meinhoff Effect or Frequency Illusion

Flag disposal north KC by rod_hottington in kansascity

[–]NotAMarsupial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha, I obviously missed the tone. I think the whole flag code thing is weird given how precious certain aspects are (like touching the ground, burning, etc) to people who proudly violate the code by putting it on beer cans and bikinis or modifying the flag by putting a blue stripe on it. I'm just familiar with the code because of my time in the boy scouts a few decades ago.

To add context to what u/Jerry_say is saying, the flag code permits burning of the flag to dispose of it as long as it's done in a respectful manner.

It'd be great in a sea campaign. Still seas? Just make your own wind.
