If y’all are not excited about the Women’s World Cup, this year, I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Perhaps you should try some of Hippo’s pills.
I would have loved to have been there, but real life gets in the way and it’s just not possible. I’ve been to the Women’s World Cup twice before, once in the United States and once in Canada. Each time it was a blast!
If you have the means, I highly recommend you take a trans-Pacific flight to either Australia or New Zealand and catch some games. Here is all the info you need:

[…] to the Nuggets and Golden Knights winning their first championships. So we have baseball and the impending Women’s World Cup coming up in July in Australia and New Zealand. Oh, and the CFL, and The Maestro’s continuous […]

This is literally killing him.
Polonium?
Sawing equipment works more on the exterior to cause problems.
Games don’t start til late July? We should be able to cover the field.
I’ll take the Zambia and Canadia, to start.
Done!
I was at a pub in Brighton during the 2019 Womens World cup, and caught the US vs. England. Felt weird silently cheering on the US but the atmosphere was fantastic and it was a ton of fun.
The women’s Series A in Italy has grown a lot since they made the quarter finals in the last World Cup. Even with the games televised free over the air, marquee games are pulling in 20 – 30 k at the gates.
That’s really good!
“Donald Trump Is Now Morbidly Fundraising Off The Possibility He May Die In Prison”

/BeefReefer reads headline, pulls out checkbook & frantically starts scribbling
(psst. Hey Beef, the fundraising is so he won’t die in prison)
/BeefReefer swears, rips up check.
Write a check for $0.01, with “Rot, Motherfucker” in the subject line?
He’d cash it.

Problem is that you’d get on their mailing list.
So which one is “The Group of Hateful Rumors”?
Not sure but I know which one is the Proud To Be White Group.
Turns out Cormac McCarthy was the second-most interesting person in his own house.

Holy shit, the actual story, (might be paywalled, but there’s enough there to give you the idea), is even more insane than the headline implies.

Here’s a non-paywalled version of this lil episode of domestic tranquillity:
https://www.thecut.com/2014/01/cormac-mccarthys-ex-wife-and-the-vagina-holster.html
/handgun in question shown below:
McCarthy pulled a Smith & Wesson out of her vagina, proceeded to “have inner course [sic] with the gun” while asking her boyfriend, “Who is crazy, you or me?”
“One of us is fucking a gun right now and it’s not me” would have been my answer which is why I would be dead in that situation.
What’s that old saying again? “Never stick your pea-shooter in crazy”? Something like that.
SHUT YOUR VAGINA HOLSTER! seems like a phrase from an early season of Archer.
Today, in False Equivalencies:
Okay I’m as anti-gun as they come but that is still hilarious and top notch counterprotesting.
I’ll take Argentina

I’m already ded

¡Hecho!
Also if you get the chance to go to Australia, just go. I haven’t been since 2000 and I desperately want to go back.
Doesn’t everything there want to kill you?
/crazy ex-girlfriends notwithstanding
I’d rather run into one of them snakey-poos than tWBS’ cray-cray Nazi frenemy?
I feel like international flights out of Sydney should come with T-shirts saying “I survived Australia”
Waiting until home base is hawaii. I don’t want a long return flight.
Where’s WhyEaglesWhy for a BOTG?
