It's actually a thing in BIGASS PRIZEFISHIN' world. Video of people coming to blows over it in the past.

 

There's also Assawoman Bay which separates Ocean City, MD from the mainland.

Oh, found a better kung fu robot video

 

I'll see your Bumpass and raise you a Humptulips, Washington.

 

A Jets fan brought this up on the radio to say why they're cursed. I'm like "no way this happened" But because Jets, it sure as shit did:

The pose. The duds.

What's up with that? I swear every third photo I see of a random Eastern European male, he's wearing an A-15 and sitting on his haunches. Now, this dude has a full-zip collar, but still. Adidas is printing money over there while Sergei and Ivan rock the stripes

 

I went to middle school with a girl named Mary Berry and a set of twins named Donald and Ronald (yes, Ronald) McDonald.
She wasn't ugly, but her mom did her hair in a way that made her look like a blowup doll. The McDonald twins were big guys a year ahead of me and the other advanced band 7th graders who had to take PE with the football players. There were no "You deserve a break today" jokes told in the gym.

The Norwegians would have probably approved the girl. The guys would have been told to get another name.

 

Just for you @soccernutter !

 

It's the amount of money stolen thru the cheating. Class C felony if the prizes exceed $10K. I see no reason why this ought not be the case. The anglers should be made aware of the laws at each stop.

 

Why does YouTube keep showing me ads that are full 20-minute fashion shows? Maybe they heard I'm into models.

In any case, what's in is puffy clothes with lots of material, big (and frequently asymmetric) collars, and bags. Everyone has a bag.

 

Here's what our ancestors may have sounded like (video in story)

The beginnings of language, however, remain shrouded in mystery. Scientists are gradually piecing together millions of years of clues – from fossilised bones to ancient art – and a clearer picture is starting to emerge.

There are two main theories on how language came to be.

The first view is that language appeared suddenly, spontaneously emerging with the evolution of human intelligence, at the point in time humans developed the ability to have abstract, symbolic thoughts. Until recently, scientists thought this happened in Europe around 40,000 years ago but new discoveries of abstract art and hand-crafted tools – found across the globe – have called this into question, suggesting we might have missed the mark by millions of years and thousands of miles.

but seriously...ten years in prison???

 

not sure how I never heard of that story.

 

I can't defend that.

 

Growing up in MD I took this one for granted. Also if you drive I-95 between Baltimore and Washington you come upon the exit for Scaggsville.
