The Winters also have a number of sports (luge, ski jumping) that can be done involuntarily.

Armin Zoeggler lights one of the torches. Maybe Carolina Kostner for the other one? Belmondo lit it in 2006, and the other usual suspects (Compagnoni, Tomba) were in-stadium torchbearers for that one also.

I saw an amazing contemporary Bauhaus rebuild a few weeks ago that was probably 7 or 8 stories, and I wish I could remember the block. It was in the far north, maybe high up on Dizengoff or Ben Yehuda. It looked modern but also unmistakably Tel Aviv.

Oh, I know. Tel Aviv desperately needs a new coat of paint and someone to powerwash off the bird crap. And I know this is sacrilege, but the interior streets are almost too leafy. The heavy tree cover and the narrow streets make the city feel constricted and hides so much of what makes it beautiful

And MLS is about to switch to a winter-centered schedule, too.

At least there's a train running down the middle of said unpleasant highway. There is some infill in Tel Aviv proper, but you do get the added benefit of preserving the old Bauhaus when you build large-footprint buildings out by the Ayalon.

I have all or most of these as pins.

Kurt Russell. The captain of the Dallas. Replacement-level Baldwin. JT Walsh because it was the 90s. A movie that takes place in Chicago and has exactly 0 Chicago-coded actors.

Widespread in Israel; mostly religious, fewer political (none of the irreverent ones), lots and lots related to either hostages or people killed on October 7. The biggest song of 2005 was a rap whose lyrics are all bumper sticker slogans www.youtube.com/watch?v=QflL...

Please tell me the Dog Show beat the Pro Bowl in the ratings.

NYM is doing a lot of work here. Jed Lowrie and I have the same number of hits in a Mets uniform, but he got $20M to do that and I... didn't.

As soon as Mel Rojas comes out of the bullpen, you have two choices:
1.) Leave before your team blows a lead.
2.) Stay and watch your team blow a lead.

When Diaz went down, the Mets lost heart for the 2023 season before single pitch had been thrown in anger. It was absolutely a wasted year for an MLB club because of the WBC.

The Port is an airport with a subway. Note: these are not co-located.

I'm never not going to post when I saw Angel Pagan hit an inside the park homer in the top half of an inning and then do this in the bottom half. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5bY...

I've been here, I know many people from here, I know people who live here now; I'm surprised it's only 14K - I would have guessed in the 25-35 range, even knowing how atomized Bergen County towns can be.

I know someone from here.

I've been here.

The worst part about that car wash is that all the soap runoff makes that stretch of sidewalk incredibly slippery in all weather.

My mother was a credits stayer, which she passed down to me. I remained a credits stayer for the nerdiest reason imaginable. "The producers wish to thank..." tells me the most important thing I need to know about a movie - where it was filmed!

Oh neat, the building where I used to work got SimCityfied.

Caruthersville Braggadocio is a much better hotel alias than Clark Westfield #IYKYK

More of a Hall of Famer than Andruw

That's 30% protecting you and 70% F me if we get delayed for an hour while this cop calls his laoban who has to call his laoban to figure out why there's a foreigner on this bus and check his ID against like 4 states' public safety bureaus.

Leader propaganda, unsafe construction, Russian chewing gum, Tajik Claus. 10/10, no notes.

The announcer with the Boston accent pronouncing Boisvert a different way each time is magical.

The dough is a little rubbery.

I'm at the sushi bar, I'm at the ultrasound clinic, I'm at the combination sushi bar ultrasound clinic.
