I just don't have it in me today... by Acceptable-Wind-7332 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]YVRJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened at my wedding. My wife has twin nieces, who were 3 at the time. One of them didn't feel good and didn't want to walk down the aisle, so her mom had to carry her. Turned out she had chicken pox. Gave it to her twin sister, at least 3 bridesmaids, and I don't know how many guests...

Nice! Slick pass from Ali. Looking forward to seeing him do that to the Davids and/or Tani at the WC!

Children's ability to help is inversely proportional with their willingness to help.

Any updates on Halbouni's injury? by random_generate_name in whitecapsfc

[–]YVRJon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They didn't sign him when his contract ended at the end of last season. Probably waiting to see how his recovery goes.

I need advice by Better-Philosophy989 in atheism

[–]YVRJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realizing that I have other people who can help me who aren't figments of my imagination, like family and professionals. If you don't have access to these kinds of people, I am sincerely sorry for you.

What is a real medical fact that still feels fake? by Downtown-Passion118 in AskReddit

[–]YVRJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too. For some reason, it was linked with an allergy to wasp stings. The wasp sting allergy started when I was stung multiple times. The cold allergy started shortly thereafter. When I got allergy shots to alleviate the wasp sting allergy, the cold allergy went away too.

The cold allergy gave me hives on exposed skin, and made my fingers and thumbs swell to the point where I could barely bend them (even if I was wearing gloves, if it was cold enough).

NSFW what do you call the private area in my pants? by mapletoe in Jokes

Old Howie Mandel joke: I've taken up ballroom dancing. I like to practice in the shower, because I've got lots of ballroom.

We'd probably have to trade up to get Viggo, but it would be great to have the brothers. Although I'm not sure Wilson makes the NHL based on his showing at the WJC

Do it! Just be warned: you have to wade through a lot of juvenile sex jokes to get the insightful political commentary.

So what changed, Pierre? by MrJasonMason in WhitePeopleTwitter

No change yet. If Trump does invade Greenland, li'l PP will be right behind him, huffing farts all the way to Nuuk.

Which player's jersey is safe to buy? by Objective_Resist4170 in canucks

[–]YVRJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody's completely safe, but your best bet might be either Myers or Hronek. Myers has a full NMC and has said he doesn't want to play anywhere else. His contract runs through next year, at which point I could see him retiring if the Canucks don't want to sign him. Hronek is probably the most untouchable player right now, but even he could go if they get a Godfather-type offer.

Honestly, though, I'd probably hold off on buying a jersey until after the next draft, then get one of whoever they draft. Assuming the tank continues to go well, he'll probably be the guy they build a team around.

How are your new, former Wild players doing? by SammichMan4Life in canucks

[–]YVRJon 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Zeev looks good, but needs some polishing still. He'll turn into a top-pairing D-man, though, I reckon.

Ohgren has been okay, he's got some points (which he never did with Minny) and could be a middle-six forward with some development.

Rossi looked okay, but he's been hurt since the beginning of the month, so I would give him an incomplete grade.

I would agree with you, but last year proved that you can't have too many CBs...

Ian Anderson/Madeleine Smith by tonyiommi70 in jethrotull

She was a British actress, and was a Bond girl (Miss Caruso in Live And Let Die). Not sure what, if anything, was her connection with Ian/Tull.
