Kevin Durant Terrified After Encountering Bobblehead Of Self HOUSTON—Paralyzed with fear at the unexpected sight of the miniature figurine, Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant reportedly screamed in terror Tuesday after unexpectedly coming face-to-face with a ...

“Who…who are—what do you want from me?” said the visibly trembling 15-time all-star, who nervously backed away from the tiny novelty doppelgänger as it stared in unblinking silence, its head nodding in a slow, chilling rhythm.

It's the rave component that really does it for me on Poison. Hypnotic repetition, coming in and out of soft passages, the classic 808.

Finally BBC publish an opinion worth listening to.

I know people place different dates when the rot set in definitively, but for me the coup de grâce was the sacking of Ange (belief & trust destroyed) & then of Levy (no one to fear), with a badly judged, hubristic sense of “now the proper adults are in charge”. It may be Schumpeter time. #COYS

That's just me being snobby about the Midwest. Ha.

If you ever make it to Michigan let me know....we will show you and Billie around.

The Ozarks are cool, if you get the chance. Also, Des Moines, along with all the college towns in those states, are a lot of fun.

Sounds like fun!

Though, I'd quibble that isn't the Midwest. Those are in the Great plains, so I'd consider them Plains states (except Iowa probably). Nonetheless, a fun chance to go see corn fields and eat bbq.

Really excited to see pochettino rolling out his strategy in the championship because I'm sure he'll totally take the job

Sure is going to look great in a Bournemouth uniform next year.

I'm really amused by the idea that the 2 teams I follow closely, Spurs and Wrexham, may trade places this season.

You know when a dog farts, looks surprised and then starts staring at its arse. That’s Tottenham.

On my father's side he drove for teamsters in meat processing industry. So I'll let you imagine the kind of people he knew.

On my mother's side, he owned his own hardware, was a carpenter, and just an all-purpose handyman.

That's a cool jersey! I had an old Winnipeg Jets jersey that looked like that many years ago.

Or the English football infrastructure is just bigoted in general and it doesn't have anything to do with Australia.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Those of us who pay attention want to pretend elections are about ideologies, policies, principles, etc. in truth, for most people, voting is something like filing their tax returns. Something they're vaguely aware they should do but with no real understanding of how or why.

It's also a farce because it's only a gamble if there's a possibility someone (ahem, the press) holding him accountable for losing the bet. But ...as I wave my hands everywhere...that's obviously never happened.

He does these things precisely because IT IS NOT a gamble.

True!

I just think most people who pay attention to politics and/or the news wildly undervalue the degree to which the average voter doesn't pay attention. So it seems hilarious to us that the Shamwow guy would want the ballot to say Shamwow...but in reality, that would have swung a lot of voters.
