I mean, he kind of targeted me a little more than most. But I didn't want to literlly break his balls.

(For the record, he never wanted kids anyway and I've really apologized and we're pretty okay).

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.EnterpriseSovereign wrote: 2025-12-29 05:22pm Was it an actual fight or the result of a sliding tackle that connected studded boot to groin?

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.

TIL a Canadian private equity firm owns an online porn empire. Pornhub, xTube, Brazzers, Redtube and a bunch of other porn studios and online porn sites are all owned by a company called, get this, Ethical Capital Partners. 
Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

TIL that in clinical genomics and ClinVar, Likely pathogenic and Likely Benign variants can safely be assumed to be pathogenic and Benign mutations/variants, respectively. (It's a 1-5~ scale)

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."

Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.
