Apparently my baldness is not enough to get served here in Boston, they want prove I'm legally old enough to be bald.

[Eddie Teach]

You could have shaved it.

New England blue laws.  Weird regs about booze.  Illegal to have a happy hour in metro Boston, for example.

Bald before 25?!

Took one step out of the door yesterday afternoon and caught the Red Arrows jet display team flying by in formation at 250ft. 

In the knee?

I am sworn to carry your burdens

"Wonder what he's up to these days!"

"... hung himself in jail cell July 2018 after I was arrested again for DUI."

So, another 90s wrestler dead.

An Austrian MP (FPÖ) suggested to stem the tide of refugees the EU could take possession of territory in North Africa by military means where refugees are processed and brought back to their countries of origin.

18

You're not allowed to drink at 18 here.

You're not allowed to drink at 18 here. 

Therefore all Americans under 18 are not bald.

I got a new office chair, and along with it I got those fancy soft rubber casters to go with it.  Good set of casters makes such a difference, the chair is gliding so smoothly on the hardwood floors.

There is one tiny unexpected problem:  every time I get up, the chair rolls away from me and crashes into the other end of the room.  I installed an app on my phone to measure surface tilt, and turns out that pretty much every place in my apartment is tilted 2.5 degrees from level.  I don't think that's good.

So Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike ads. And you know what that means ....







Not as satisfying as idiots smashing their TVs in protest, though.

[Tamas]

Oh my, Nike will suffer from all the already purchased items being destroyed

So, according to one of my separatist friends, the consul of Israel in Barcelona is secretly an agent of the Spanish intelligence who's brokered a deal with the moderate separatist party to betray the independence cause in exchange of Spain tricking elections to ensure the leader of that party will hold the regional government for the next 20 years. 

I goggled around and apparently that theory is a thing among the loony separatist alt-right. Gotta love how they really really needed to somehow bring up jews/Israel in it.
