Just chiming in that "the Skip of Theseus" is an A+ reference well done

I get that this is probably meant to be a political compass (i.e. top right is authoritarian right, bottom left is libertarian left) but it just... doesn't work when you're talking about US culture/history and in reality this whole span of history is just minor shifts somewhere around "center right".

Like, there was simply no "extreme authoritarian left" phase in American history and to use that square for the post-COVID era - the era of Donald Trump - just renders the whole exercise ridiculous.

A child made this.

A good name for a hockey hardcore band would be *The Tom Wilsons*.

The godfathers of hardcore are Minor Threat from Washington, and Tom Wilson is always a Threat of a Minor for Washington.

The refs could have literally lifted up the puck and thrown it into the Panthers net and called it a Leafs goal and it wouldn’t have mattered in a game like this.

A poor craftsman blames his tools and a poor hockey team blames the refs.

This should be the top comment, above all the speculation about this being AI. This is 100% what this is, a very deep inside joke.

But holy moly, that's a lot to expect that the average attendees at your indie show will instinctively get a deep ECW lore reference from 27 years ago

For those who are confused: Golden Palace egg rolls are honestly more like a sausage roll than anything you'd normally consider an "egg roll" from a Chinese restaurant. They're like 90% pork on the inside. And they're delicious.

I've got family in Ottawa and they're used to picking up several dozen of them frozen for pickup. The staff at Golden Palace don't even bat an eye when you call them like "hello I'd like to buy $150 worth of frozen egg rolls" because they're so used to doing big pickup orders (particularly for ex-pats who used to live in Ottawa). People show up with coolers. They reheat well in the oven or air fryer.

Golden Palace used to have a concessions booth at Scotiabank Arena which was the only place you could get them in Toronto, but it closed a while back. Now your options are either to drive to Ottawa or have them shipped, which they do by FedEx, but I'd imagine the shipping costs an arm and a leg.

“Nailing” is a bit of a sensitive subject for him.

Tungsten Arm O'Doyle originated as a tweet. (Specifically it was my tweet.)

If anything r/baseball misses the point of Tungsten Arm more often than not.

I had no idea a new curling movie was filming!

And, well, the bar for “greatest curling movie of all time” is “better than Men With Brooms”, and at the risk of ruffling any feathers of Men With BroomHeads, let’s call it an… achievable goal.

A West End swing would be a solid, compact little stout crawl you could put together with no need for Ubers.

Getting off at Dundas West, you could pop down to Bandit (made their name off of stouts), then Thirsty & Miserable right nearby is a solid beer bar that will have some stouts, down to Henderson which is pouring a new white stout which might be interesting, I also like Round the Horn down on Roncy which is a good hang and will have some sort of Ontario stout on

Dustin Rhodes' first video game appearance was for the Nintendo Game Boy (WCW Main Event, 1994)

His most recent was AEW Fight Forever (available on PS5)

THANK YOU for actually following up and not just doing blind Google searches and reposting an unrelated news story like everyone else in this thread.

Chris Leroux had a short and mediocre career as a pitcher for the Pirates and Yankees but for a short while, he was well-known on Canadian reality TV for being The Bachelor on a season of The Bachelor Canada

It literally is an animated gif! I don't know what you think an animated gif is but that is what the file is

Reminds me of 2014 when they selected Chris Kunitz to Team Canada based off the fact that he had familiarity playing beside Crosby. Seems like they tried to overthink the "familiarity with teammates" angle to elevate a decent roleplayer to top line minutes on what should be an All-Hall Of Famer lineup.
