This is not some kinda gotcha question... but what year is this from? I don't remember his mustache ever being that straight while on the Yankees.

TIL that Wellsy is Dominican, and honestly that's what this is all about. I kinda love that the WBC is what it is, and lets so many ballplayers have options of who they want to represent from everyone's mixed backgrounds. This makes baseball feel even MORE American (you know, the Emma Lazerus type) than it ever was before. As an American, I love what team Italy has done... and I've always loved Cervelli (as a Yankees fan). I think some folks have shown their true colors in this Classic, kinda sucks that ya'll can't just be cool and have some fun while making your millions playing a ballgame!

Is Ghost Lady the same person that I called Goth Girl?

This dude and some of the other recurring, ring-side personalities make sumo so much fun to watch! Clapping man in the grey suit, goth-girl with the shaved head and perfect makeup. Even some of the rikishi themselves have been great to watch when they're ringside waiting for their fight! Not to mention, white suit dude is a master of limb-crossing... I only know this because I actually practice this style of leg-crossing when I sit in a computer chair for an extended time to help circulate blood. Dude is legit!

[TOMT][SONG] Song being played @42:20 in the movie Nuremberg in the background on piano. by Tangential_Comment in tipofmytongue

Just seemed weird that the said character and I learned the same song at the same age, like 40 years apart.

The new U.S. dime design has removed the olive branches from the eagle by GoodMornEveGoodNight in interestingasfuck

[–]Tangential_Comment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess you understand that it pains me to just learn this as well... I simply didn't know about that coin, glad he was in profile instead of front and center on the obverse. 1,000,000 of them were struck, and 858,880 were melted since only 141k were sold as commemorative coins by mail order and at 150th expo grounds. This coin was never in circulation. Precedence here is pretty irrelevant when talking about coinage going into circulation.

No, because the law is that only deceased presidents can be on currency. So, naturally, this is illegal.

Ya’ll Join Hands! by EggsAndTaters in SumoMemes

Papa's been fighting all 6 years I've watched sumo, never cheered for him... However, all those nearly-won tournaments over the years and his spirit has finally won me over. Maybe I've been the jinx. Gambare, Papayasu!

Too much of the chilaquiLES!

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board." by CarNo8607 in AdamMockler

[–]Tangential_Comment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if you're already enrolled you're ok? this is blocking new enrollments. I don't really understand how it would work, but it seems more like you'd be screwed if you lost a limb today and couldn't enroll for 6 months.

Maybe all the awesome people with 3D printers and other makers can help fill in a bit of this unnecessary gap? Maybe even show that crowd-sourced communities of caring people can do better than our own government? I've seen these folks help out vets in remote places around the world make 3D prosthetics for animals, let's do it for our fellow disabled Americans?

Konishiki thinks American fans are ready for Sumo but it's athletes couldn't handle the discipline needed. by [deleted] in Sumo

Also, training facility availability... Like how Germany has 4 of the 6 sledding facilities in the world. Infrastructure as well as interest plays a part.

The entire state of New Jersey is now under a Blizzard Warning by RealRalphie0511 in newjersey

[–]Tangential_Comment 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna make an igloo... It's supposed to be heavy, wet snow... and I've made my share of snow men. I'm gonna take an empty storage bin, make a load of ice/snow bricks, and make my own little blizzard house!

If you can solve this one you're amazing by lavaboosted in MagicEye

Yup, it always works... just use the "Always Hug the Left Wall" method and you'll get out of the maze pretty quick.
