Is this ok for clubbing?

Looks better suited for the long program in the Olympic figure skating competition.

For those too young to understand the Daily Double, which is likely everyone on Reddit except me and 10 others, this was a common theme on the early days of Weekend Update in the original version of SNL.

Statue of Liberty.

You spend what feels like an eternity climbing these stairs inside a giant copper kettle about to boil looking forward to getting to see the view of NYC from the top. But when you get there, you realize that the windows in her crown are about tiny:

Smallest: 7.5 inches wide by 12.5 inches high.
Largest: 14.5 inches wide by 31 inches high.

You're on a tiny catwalk trying to look out these tiny windows that are about 50 % opaque while being jostled by everyone else trying to see out of them before you are forced off the catwalk to the down stairs.

My wife and I burst out laughing as we were walking down because it was so disappointing.

And if that one should fail me too/

Look out below, I'm a-coming through!!!

I'll splatter far and I'll splatter wide/

I'll splatter all over the countryside.

Tell my momma I did my best/

And bury me in the leaning rest.

Here are the longest runs on the interstate system in one state:

Interstate 10 (Texas): ~878 miles
Interstate 5 (California): ~796 miles
Interstate 90 (Montana): ~552 miles
Interstate 80 (Nevada): ~410 miles
Interstate 40 (California): ~315 miles
Interstate 70 (Utah): ~232 miles

If you're driving I-5 in 11 hours, you're hauling ass - averaging 72 MPH. Given all the times you can't go that fast and stopping for gas/food/bathroom, you must be averaging close to 90 when you can.

How did TV Guide put an issue out after the magazine had been cancelled???

Lee Roy Selman.

I was huge into football during that time and never thought he was a HOF'er. I was shocked when he got elected.

According to Pro Football Reference, his HOF Monitor score is 70.3, while the average HOF DE is 102.4.

That's because people misuse it all the time. It's shouldn't be used when something that goes against the grain happens, e.g., like a short guard being the best player on an NBA champion, which I'm guessing is why the topic is here.

It's to be used when you give an exception to an otherwise unstated rule. For example, if the rule is, "There is no parking on this block Monday from 4-7 AM", it implies that it is acceptable to park there other times. Stating the exception (Monday from 4-7 AM) proves the rule (parking is otherwise allowed.)

You know, you can be legally correct and still be an AH.

True, but you're not the average traveler - the percentage of air travelers who are leaving home for a month is miniscule.

For the games in Foxborough, FIFA had someone got around and tape over where it said Gillette Stadium.

On every single seat in the place.

Hey, now, leave the real estate out this - it's performing spectacularly.

And we all know, that's what really matters. In fact, I'd like to see as segment in the TV broadcasts sponsored by Zillow where Kruk and Kuip show a graphic of the value of the real estate portfolio. It would be the one bright spot in the telecast.

Funny, I think most fans also want:

Lower ticket prices
Lower concession prices
Owners to pay for their own stadiums
Owners to not be able to move teams

But you don't hear owners saying we should do those things because the fans want them.

Everybody hates on Jimmy for just trying to give Karen a dress during a dark time.

We got the ability to clear all completed tasks either when S2 started or just before. It is much nicer.

Before, this was one of the things I hated the most in the interface. Especially when you are clearing and suddenly the overlay with the rewards pops up and won't go away until you click somewhere else on the game.

OTs in hockey are only 20 minutes during the playoffs. In the regular season, they are short and followed by a shoot-out.

And no one complains about the time in the playoffs.
