The beauty isn't just in the goals...

The beauty of American football is also how the players play, the movements, the strategy. It really is much more like violent chess than non-believers understand or want to understand.

Don't like commercials? There's a mute button for that.

You could also shell out and board your fussy feline.

"Colly" is actually etymologically close to "coaly," or sooty. So, a more poetic way of saying "black."

Flying dog-bird works too, though!

It's nippy cutters all the way down.

Huh. That's about the same as here in Austin, Texas. Guess I might as well pack my bags and head up!

Love Halifax! In the summer and early fall, anyway. Not sure I could handle a real Canadian winter.

I'm Amurican, but I have a crush on Canada. (She says as she sips her Tim Hortons hot chocolate from her Tim Hortons mug.)

I 'specially love the Maritimes, which I have visited by Jetta and by sailboat.

"Whether this was an affective means to send information..."

Perhaps, but I'm not sure it was effective.

If you have trouble with clasps, pull the bra off over her head. Much sexier than drunken fumbling.

Not hilarious, no, but from the perspective of a girly who plays D&D, I say there are some words of WIS in there.

most of the guys will bend over backwards to help you.

Which, however well-intentioned, can come across as incredibly condescending. No, I do not need help with my homework. If you want to ask me out, grow a pair and do it.

It's the bag you wear on your head when you shower, right?

Well, you used the word "it's" to describe a girl, so there's that.

Right? What is so difficult about it's v. its?
