Winter cricket and bridge thread - Held over by popular demand

Spouse (PoC) experienced some overt racism today at the grocery store, infuriated me. She doesn’t want to do anything about it and doesn’t want me to do anything about it, which I’ll respect. But my imagination is running wild. Want to go make a crazy scene and demand heads on platters. The f*** is wrong with people.

How is his name pronounced?

Gah-bore Mah-tay

That’s completely fucked up, but lucky you weren’t there in real time. That shit activates my lizard brain like nothing else.

I’d almost bet my friend’s daughter’s freshman-year roommate at USC was a similar thing at this.

My (broke) friend’s daughter was a decent rower and got in on her own merits. No scholarship but it helped her get accepted. She was way too small to be a star - but they need decent rowers to fill out the boats for practice and B-team or whatever.

Her roommate was a coxswain who was almost the same size as my friend’s daughter at 5’6. Coxswains are usually tiny tiny people. She claimed she had a huge growth spurt after senior year. Hmmm. I don’t think she lasted very long on the team either.

My favorite Gabor Mate video.

It’s a myth that people like big coxswain.

Hot take: no more college athletics

Separately: Larry David is a national treasure

Thanks for reminding me how old I am.

Does anyone else hear Sylvester Stallone when Maté talks?

I live 3 miles from work in Toronto and I just walk because talking the subway is a dystopian nightmare at rush hour.

That shit is still hilarious. I hadn’t seen it in a while. I love Chappelle’s faithful acting out of Murphy’s ludicrous description of events. And throwing in actual Rick James - pure genius.

You’re probably going to hate me but I discovered Dave Chappelle in 2019, so it all new to me :joy:
