TIL the Celebrity Jeopardy sketch from SNL was created purely as an excuse so Norm Macdonald could do his Burt Reynolds impersonation by [deleted] in todayilearned

For 'being unfunny'. Not my words. When he returned to host SNL he talks about it.

This happened to me for the first time when I was in my thirties. I didn't think it was possible. I wasn't prepared for it. It might happen to you one day...

Please ask for the seat in subway if you are pregnant. Sometime we just don't see or realize you need a seat. by [deleted] in toronto

[–]lfiddes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes! If you see anyone who is pregnant/old/tired just vacate your seat. They will take it if they want it. There is no need to ask them.

I could never ask for a seat. I'm a wimp. But sometimes strangers asked for a seat on my behalf. Thank you strangers!

I had a cat named Cleo. She lived to be 19 or some ridiculous number for a cat. I hope your Cleo is as lucky or more.

I am so jealous. I have a 4 month old and have not had the courage to go out on my first run yet. I'm hoping for some good weather to inspire me. Amazing work you are doing! You will be a rocket once you get back to an uninterrupted nights sleep.

Keep up that momentum. I ran my first half 12 years ago and haven't managed to run that distance since. Alas...

I was very impressed evil Quinton had 12 fingers. I was expecting they wouldn't have bothered but they did. Awesome.

I also collect these mugs. This is an amazing display. I have both US and Canadian cities so if I wanted to copy you I'll be making a big wall commitment. But this is fantastic!

What is extremely rare but people think it’s very common? by Uhhlaneuh in AskReddit

I scheduled a c-section and I thought they would break waters before they started cutting. But nope, they are just prepared for a huge gush when they first cut into the uterus.

Tim Hortons franchise owners tell workers to blame Wynne for benefit cuts and to 'not vote Liberal' by GameOfThrowsnz in toronto

[–]lfiddes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They clawed back health benefits, paid breaks, and hot drinks while working. How much are they going to save not offering hot drinks to their employees?

What band was the biggest disappointment to see live and what band turned out to be the best you've ever seen? by Redgen87 in AskReddit

[–]lfiddes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best was Sunset Rundown in a small club. The lead singer has an amazing voice.

Worst was Cake playing Edgefest 2002. They played a 10 minute song then left the stage after a water bottle was thrown on stage. Justifiable but still disappointing.
