A very well played game. Bravo to the team. It was certainly a nail biter and impressive to watch both teams.

You may mock, but without witnessing it firsthand nobody can possibly comprehend the enormity of my handicap and extremity of his advantage.
Suppose you challenged your partner to a road race? If he was driving a Nissan skyline, and you were driving a large stack of bricks with training wheels leant against it, that would give you some idea.

Apologies I thought you were posting about the rugby

That's the one with the funny balls?

No, I'm talking about a real sport. One with thrills, excitement, and the very real possibility of physical injury. I'm talking about competitive dog training in the house of dolf.

The lose at home strategy will bring home the prize.

Baseball is weird.

Weather's Impact On The World Series In Recent History
by Paul Dorian

1997 Cleveland Indians vs Florida Marlins; 1979 Baltimore Orioles vs Pittsburgh Pirates



In terms of the coldest World Series games ever – and the records are sketchy pre-1970’s as Major League Baseball did not track weather records – the most memorable game was probably Game 4 of the 1997 World Series in Cleveland, Ohio between the Indians and the Florida (now Miami) Marlins. The first two games of that World Series were played in Miami, Florida where temperatures were in the high 80’s. The games then shifted to Cleveland for Games 3, 4 and 5 and the weather was dramatically different than in Florida. Indeed, the first-pitch temperature for Game 4 on October 22nd, 1997 was 38 degrees along with a wind chill in the teens. Snow flurries fell throughout the game and ice patches actually formed on the infield. The Florida Marlins eventually won the 1997 World Series with an extra-inning Game 7 victory played in balmy Miami, Florida.

The second coldest game in recent history was the first game of the 1979 World Series in Baltimore, Maryland between the Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates on October 10th, 1979 with first-pitch temperatures right around the 40 degree mark along with a steady, chilly rainfall which no doubt factored into the six total errors, three committed by each team. In fact, Game 1 was originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 9th, but was postponed due to a wintry mix of rain and snow. Back in those days, the World Series began earlier in the month of October compared to today, but that didn’t prevent very cold weather from impacting the beginning of this particular series. The Pirates ended up winning the 1979 World Series in 7 games by winning three games in a row after trailing in the series by three games to one...

Celebrating Halloween on November 1st just seems wrong.

It's the only holiday that completely loses its energy after 4 AM the next day.

Every other holiday lingers on a little bit for another day like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving, or maybe even close to another week like X'mas and New Year's. Even Valentine's Day has a sliding Overton window around the actual day.

Halloween is done on the 31st and is over after the 31st. Just try going out in a costume on November 1st in public and feel the embarrassment burn.

 

[adrina]

Yeah, a benedict omelette totally works.

 

[HarryHill]

I have to ask what's in it?

Ham, tomato and hollandaise sauce. I had rye toast on the side. It rocks.

 

[silver gurl]

Pouring rain outside. Makes for a lazy Sunday.

 

[Adre]

Sounds delish. At home or out?

Not so with Guy Fawkes night over here. Fireworks and explosions a week before and after. It's purgatory. Especially for animals.

Yeah, but it's also the only holiday aside from Christmas that has a run-up period lasting several weeks. The second back-to-school displays come down in the stores, Halloween goes up.

I lost literally all interest in Halloween once I was too old to trick-or-treat, possibly because it comes at the same time of year as my birthday, and a man can only take so much wild celebratin'.

Local place.

 

[butters]

was deep asleep this morning, dreaming allsorts as usual, when H wakes me up to come see something out in the yard:

slid off the bed and onto the floor (so asleep was i still) and then was confronted by the oddest moment looking with H out the front door... TWO big white dogs mooching about our yeard. not our ONE, but her and another of her breed. it was a real 'am i seeing double?' moment.

guess he lives down the road a bit; we got her from the breeders about a mile away from us and pyrs are known to wander. he might just live in one of the other houses locally, though, since i'm sure others use them as their herd guardians, too.

just was a kinda funny-weird moment

Halloween was never a big thing here really til the last 20 years or so. Now it's super annoying. I like all the horror films on telly but not the little fucks banging on the door all night begging. I'd love to sit with a sawn-off shotgun at the letterbox waiting, you Yanks are so lucky with your access to firearms.

Your chocolate tastes like vomit though. And you put cheese in tins.
