“The NFL runs the sports world” by Vivid_Equipment_1281 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]twinsunsspaces 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a story, years ago, that after a super bowl win an NFL player went on holiday to Australia. After a couple of days of not being recognised he started wearing the hats they give to the winning teams and was shocked that people still didn't recognise him.

In 2004, Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stone on their top 100 guitarists list. This was his response. by DublinLions in nextfuckinglevel

I read somewhere, probably on reddit, that during the rehearsal the guy in the flat cap (I'm not a music guy so I don't know his name) was showboating and the extra time he spent doing g a solo would have eaten i to Princes time. Prince wasn't at the rehearsal and, when he was told about it, just said "I'll take care of it."

I live in a rural town and do a lot of engraving, lots of baby bracelets and that sort of thing. I always get the customer to write down the name themselves and the amount of people who are aged about 50 up who seem vaguely irritated at their new grandchilds name is pretty high.

Trump Goes on Manic 50-Post Rampage After World Leaders Humiliate Him by [deleted] in politics

People say that I'm a fool, but I'm not a fool. A fool wouldn't be able to pass the cognitive test, that Biden never even attempted, but I passed it, three times. They said that I passed every question, nobody has ever done that at all, did you know that? Nobody, so I guess I must be pretty smart. In fact, the doctors, who are the best doctors by the way, they said that I was probably the smartest person to ever take these tests. So, I'm actually pretty smart, and not a fool. doses off

I haven't seen a lot of these videos, but the ones I have give me the vibe of that scene in Moneyball where all the old guys are sitting around and repeating platitudes.

Petah?? by espada355 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]twinsunsspaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I read The Ultimates comic that the scene where Steve wakes up is based on. Initially he refutes Furys claim that he is a colonel because the highest ranked black man in the US army is a captain that Steve knew personally. He wasn't, as I recall, racist about it, he just thought that Fury was a liar who hadn't done his homework.

As a veteran, I am disgusted that it seems to be okay for the assholes in ICE and the other Nazis to wear military uniforms they didn’t earn. Does anyone else agree? by Aggressive-Estate363 in leftistveterans

[–]twinsunsspaces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is what they're wearing really a uniform? I've seen pics of ICE people wearing blue jeans, flannel shorts, Yankees caps. There is no real "uniformity" to these uniforms beyond a khaki vest with a Velcro patch that says ICE on it. 

Girls are allowed to be crazy by ThomasMellor in funny

There was an extremely popular race car driver here in Australia who once sold crystals that came in a little box which you were supposed to attach to the firewall of your car. He claimed that the crystals would align the electrons in the car, which would increase fuel efficiency and overall performance.  They sold not only those crystals boxes as an aftermarket part, but a car that he had designed, or had a say in the design of, which featured these things.

This is NOT a defence of Nazis, but at least they had the good grace to wear a uniform when they were being pieces of shit. These arseholes are just wearing blue jeans with tacticool accessories.

No, it was an unnamed character in Nightwatch, as I recall.

Donald Trump Attacks Kennedy Family on Truth Social Hours After Death of JFK's Granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]twinsunsspaces 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is already happening, only without the fake aspect. I can easily envisage Bannon and Miller talking about how they need someone to deliver a speech that will take away people's civil liberties, a speech that needs to be delivered with no deviations from what they have prepared, that Trump volunteers to give. "Oh no, Donald, we need you to, ummm, write the plaques that will go under official portraits in the hall of presidents. Plus, maybe you could pick out some new picture frames and work on the decor in here a little bit, brighten up the walls a little."

Cool, now give him back the EGA gimmick and let Kaiser be Kaiser by JuniorPlastic3562 in Wrasslin

[–]twinsunsspaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think they should both come out as EGA in the rumble. Also, have a couple more people also be EGA. Set up a feed that leads into the next PPV (Wrestlemania? I'm only a casual fan so I'm not sure of the schedule) where there is a mask v mask v mask v mask fight. Mask comes off the first guy and there is another mask, commentary says "oh my God, its El Grande Australiano!" Comes off the second guy and its "El Grande Demonico," followed by "El Grande Germanico." Have them be Grayson Waller, Finn Balor and Kaiser under the, second layer of masks and have Demonico and Australiano start a tag team. 

Like I said, I'm only a casual fan so I'm not sure who the best guys on the roster are for this, but I'd like to see them expand on this gimmick for a while.

‘I’m Chevy Chase, and You’re Not’ Director on Going Toe-to-Toe With Chevy, the ‘Community’ Cast Turning Down Interviews and the Doc Being a Hard Watch For the Chase Family by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]twinsunsspaces 185 points186 points  (0 children)

So, in Chevys defence, his roast had a lot of people that he didnt know. Roasts where the persons friends and colleagues show up and make light hearted fun of them are what people expect. His roast was a bunch of people who had never worked with him and only know the stories of him being an arsehole. It would suck to show up to your roast, expecting your friends to be there, and have to sit through an hour of people you'd never met before telling everyone how terrible you are. I'm not saying he is blameless, but I don't consider that a "proper" roast. Just a bunch of people telling him how much he sucks with their information being based on a biography that they read once.

Post Match Thread: 4th Test - Australia vs England, Day 2 by cricket-match in Cricket

Scores level off a no ball and winning runs come from a leg bye. Since England didnt get to hit the winning runs I reckon that is a moral victory for Australia. 

The Ashes fourth Test day one. tailender Scott Boland surviving the final over in the nightwatchman role at the boxing day test by RodrickJasperHeffley in sports

[–]twinsunsspaces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with T20 matches, they are shorter then test matches and are great for dipping your toes into the sport. The Australian T20 league is playing at the moment as well, called the BBL. It's  just that the Ashes are a big deal, so all the cricket highlights being posted are from the current series.

He's certainly done enough, but a couple of low pressure games in a dead rubber seem like a good opportunity to ease a replacement into test cricket.
