That's a good system that doesn't work so well if you bring your own bags from home, which we do. So all the cashier has to do is ring up the sale and push it on down, and I bag it, because my arms aren't broken.

Bagger lol. I don't think I've seen one for about 30 years. No, it's just the cashier, who rings up the groceries and then bags them while the entitled ignoramus stands there and watches, and holds up the line.

Checking the lines at a grocery store is something that I always do, and get it wrong usually, but here is a rule: the better dressed a female is, the less likely she is to bag her own groceries. She will just stand there and watch "the help" do it. While I scream, silently, behind my mask, "IS YOUR FREAKING ARM BROKEN?"

Yes, if you take Torque out of the team photos it gives the team deniability. There never was any such guy, and no they did not waste a pick on him. Those who persist in their inquiries will be detained.

He is being photoshopped out of all the team photos that he ever appeared in.

Remember when Michael said this to his idiot brother-in-law, Carlo, to let him know that Michael was aware that Carlo had deliberately helped to set up Sonny at the causeway toll booth: "You have to answer for Santino, Carlo". Answer for. Nothing specific there, but you fear the worst. No matter what other trouble this James Adducci ever gets into for the rest of his life, it pales into insignificance compared to this: he has to answer for attempting to impersonate Jim Adduci.

I am glad that I don't work in a downtown office building anymore. When I did, I would park underground, where there was a mix of permit holders and people who paid cash by the hour. At the end of the day when I was leaving, I might be behind a lady who was paying cash. She might hand her ticket and some cash to the attendant in the kiosk (remember those?) and then a moment later some change would be handed back. And then for the next 25 seconds she would ORGANIZE HER FREAKING PURSE before driving off. That's where an Aston Martin with twin machine guns would have come in handy.

Agree 100%, he's repeating Erie in 2022.

Yeah, that's where those "Negro spirituals" came from in elementary school music period.

Not me although we did have a Vic Tanny's in St. Catharines Ontario, right next door to Thorold.

I have 100% faith that Rogers could have sustained his 2021 performance if the injury had not occurred. Maybe not the .800 OPS but I would bet on 24 HRs and 24 doubles in 135 games which is pretty nice for a number 9 hitter. However, next time he plays he will be 28 so it's possible we have missed his prime years with the bat.

Perhaps, but you have also noticed that some of the most uncompromising non-smokers are the guys who used to smoke 2 packs a day.

I know that it is PC to say "I of course respect the right of each individual to decide for themselves about their own health care, and whether or not to receive a vaccine". Well, I don't, not for a minute. They are idiots who are endangering the general population. I have read more than one opinion piece debating whether or not the unvaccinated should have to pay for their own hospitalization (it's free here).

And three-quarters of our daily new cases are meatheads who refused to get vaccinated and are now taking up ICU beds which are then unavailable for people whose illness or injury is not self-inflicted.

And we still have meatheads who protest in front of restaurants and hospitals, and are abusive to the people who work there, about their "right" to remain unvaccinated and still participate fully in society. Not many, I think we could find an uninhabited Arctic island for them all.

Yes, millions of dollars of assistance, mostly from the federal government, to unemployed people and to support small business. How will we pay for it? Figure it out later. The big issue now is that people don't want to work in food services for the ridiculously low wages that are paid there, so there are businesses that might close because they can't get staff - people who used to work there won't go back. Minimum wage is $14.35 now, it's pathetic. It was supposed to change to $15.00 3 years ago, but there was a change of government and the new people reneged.

Michigan's daily case numbers are terrifying. As of Monday, Michigan, population 10 million, had a 3 day rolling average of 2,832 new cases. Ontario, population 14 million, has a 7 day rolling average of 407. Restaurants and health clubs are not fully open yet, and as of last Friday the province has released a QR code that fully vaccinated people can download to their phones, to gain admittance to events. Masking indoors is the rule everywhere.

That's how I remember it. It wasn't a moment of weakness...he didn't know it was bullshit. He didn't find out until later that it the WMD "intel" was a complete fabrication.

Grand Rapids for sure.

I am watching the first season of The Norm Show on Youtube.

I'm not paying $40 million to a guy who plays 110 games.

Yes we heard so much about the "service economy", the economy of the future, and a friend used to ask how economic growth would occur when we were all cutting each others' hair.

Hey it's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I like her.

He's hiding under your bed.

Paul Goldschmidt? I could live with that.
