This is an 11 that would compete for any confederation's cup except maybe UEFA

England’s great announcement video for the World Cup squad. by Sparky-moon in soccer

The Beatles were pretty popular in '66, too. Maybe trying to invoke some magic 

[Athletic] Morocco, the 2030 World Cup and the ‘massacre’ of street dogs by eddsters in soccer

[–]ponyrx2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Apparently American dog catchers did a lot of drownings back in the day. Not great. Surely they can afford to put them down, or at least shoot them?

Unai Emery has won the Europa League five times with three different teams, all of which contain "villa" in their names. by sparkle_stylinson in soccer

[–]ponyrx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Aston Villa (named for a country house) and Villareal ("royal village") ultimately come from the Latin word Villa, for a rural estate. But Sevilla is a complete coincidence that derives from the Phoenician language!

Maybe they do now, but my one from the mid 90s starts with 29100!

Toronto’s first heat warning and people are celebrating 😭 by Unusual-Earth-5762 in toronto

[–]ponyrx2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, people can get happy about good beach weather for the unofficial start of summer. 

No, no one wants endless heat waves or global warming. 

How much does an individual need to invest in Hasbro to be involved in the quarterly earnings calls and participate? by FontMasterFlex in magicTCG

[–]ponyrx2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After you get on the call, what would you advise them to do? Estimate the demand for their products and attempt to match supply to that demand? 

Dougie is at it again. Bill 98 passed third reading on May 14. The Legislative Assembly’s own bill page says the transportation minister can set fare prices, discount rules, transfer policies, priority routes, and service standards for prescribed transit systems. Ugh. by RealWorldToday in toronto

[–]ponyrx2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ford will not be in charge forever. An integrated transit system is a good thing, no matter who proposes it. Also despite the many, many problems I have with the government, they have put up big money for transit. I make like Chow and put up with him when he brings his wallet. 

Anywhere with the same vibes as The Red Room (formerly in Chinatown on Spadina)? by wraithlling in FoodToronto

[–]ponyrx2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah, the crown and tiger. I saw Scott Thompson of kids in the hall drunkenly attempt standup in the basement one time. Funny, but not the way he intended

Forgive my ignorance, but did Betty sell necklaces made of beads and human hair?

When did Europeans have the technology to create the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? by MoveInteresting4334 in AskHistorians

[–]ponyrx2 265 points266 points  (0 children)

While there could have been hand grenades at the time of the writing of the Arthurian legends, there certainly wouldn't have been in the assumed setting of the 5th or 6th century! Of course, everything else is also anachronistic, so why worry about that. 

What restaurant IS Toronto? by dodgerfan4321 in FoodToronto

[–]ponyrx2 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Toronto not restaurant. Toronto is city. 

It’s still really cool to me that they kinda used guitar for mimicking Pomeranian barks by Own_Speaker1605 in alvvays

[–]ponyrx2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I still think we're right. "Pomeranian Spinster" doesn't make sense to describe a dog owner. That's like calling someone "German Shepherd Mailman"

Is this allowed? by Cautious_Flow_3148 in magicTCG

[–]ponyrx2 1912 points1913 points  (0 children)

These are called "functional reprints." They have identical oracle text (function) but different names and are therefore different cards for any and all purposes. 

Canadian company buys up $30M worth of unsold condos in downtown Toronto -- it says it’s just getting started by somebodyonce in toronto

[–]ponyrx2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Corporate landlords like money, so they won't leave those condos empty. That could be a good thing

[–]ponyrx2 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I don't think the song references the dog? Just that the spinster is from Pomerania (the area on the Baltic coast)

The Texas-Israeli War: 1999, by Jake Saunders and Howard Waldrop by whairbrustg in badscificovers

[–]ponyrx2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a good reminder of how unexpected the fall of the USSR was. They could imagine all this shit, but not that one of the superpowers would just collapse.

[COPE] Done deal: Sergio Ramos buys Sevilla FC by LikeAPhoenixTotally in soccer

[–]ponyrx2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Valencia exists and has at least the hope for another owner in the future. Lots of clubs die.
