Was it an actual fight or the result of a sliding tackle that connected studded boot to groin?

The latter. It was a comedy/tragedy of errors that ended with us in a three guy pile-up. I still felt bad.

He was fine. Got a yellow card is all. The rest of us chaps got smashed balls or long-lasting guilt. It wasn't really anybody's fault (or, it was everybody's fault), we just kind of coordinated a strike and a block poorly.

A private equity firm calling themselves that is like Henry Kissinger bragging about being Nobel Peace Prize recipient... wait a sec.

Today i learned not all the car's Warning Icons are listed in my owner's manual. The one for "Your Hybrid Engine has an ISSUE" had to be looked up via Google.

See HoS for the whole story. I ranted there how Life Fucked Me again.

TIL that at least one, probably more, of the old (Sean Connery) Bond films had their screenplays written by one Roald Dahl. Definitely not what I expected while skipping through the opening credits of "You Only Live Twice."

TIL about the Spotify Ad bullshit- no matter how many times that I click on the option saying "I'm seeing this ad too often" or "not relevant to me", I'm still getting the same fucking ad over and over, the one for the "The Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show". It's clear to me those buttons do nothing.

I've (mostly) just stopping giving any fucks. I'm gonna die in a shoot-out or a fistfight, I hope for a righteous cause.

My family has a grave plot for me (morbid), and I don't plan to use it except to display a stone for many generations that says, "Died on his 100th birthday, shot in the back climbing out of a bedroom window naked."

I dunno, I'd give her a chance. I'm impressed by strong will. How bad could it be? (Consensual) Sex is like pizza. Even when it's bad it's at least okay.

Some good came from that crime then.

If you feel bad about it, then help someone else pay for their education.
