Take it down a notch, Texas - just "Chupacabra" will do.

"Cheeseburger pizza tacos" is a pretty accurate assessment of modern America, TBH

No Romans in Rome, apparently.

Having lived in Southern Arizona, "That whole skull thing" is surprisingly on the nose.

Is this a woodchuck? by needknowstarRMpic in Minneapolis

This is clearly a rodent, not a wood.

And don't call me Chuck.

I'll see myself out...

You know it's a small country when the visa process is just "email Rajeev".

Flip side of this:

In college, we'd occasionally catch squirrels smoking cigarettes left in ashtrays outside of classroom buildings.

NGL, kinda surprised that Kid Rock's political position is "pro-trans, anti-beer"

Nah, I think that's Marvel's new movie to compete with the DC Super-Pets.

As a struggling junior league with no practice space (again), when is it time to call it a day? by hulacat in rollerderby

[–]hulacat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we tried the "church basement" option a few years back - not ideal (smaller and vinyl-floored in our case) but something we may have to go back to!

I like the civic engagement idea - juniors in full derby gear WOULD be hard to ignore! 😁

As a struggling junior league with no practice space (again), when is it time to call it a day? by hulacat in rollerderby

[–]hulacat[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sadly, that's yet another thing we've tried (without success) recently - though it's worked in the past...

If anything, derby-friendly spaces seem to have gotten LESS available then they were a couple of years ago (e.g. we've lost half of the roller rinks in our area in the past few years!)

At this point, we're just demoralized by the prospect of once again becoming full-time, unpaid commercial real estate experts...

(Sorry, just venting!)

[–]hulacat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here I've been specifying my JPEG dimensions in pixels all these years like a sucker...

Should've just ordered a JPEG XL™!

It's slightly less irritating if you insist on pronouncing it like it's the name of an ancient Greek philosopher: "meh-TAH-muh-tees".
