    Depending on your schedule, you could catch a couple of group stage matches in the Club World Cup if you visited Seattle - last two are Sounders v PSG on 6/23 and 6/25 Inter v River Plate (and Driuzzi, lol). There are a few things to do locally between games, I think....
  3. There's a reason it's called Londongrad. Too many entrenched interests there even with various "divestitures" for the powers that be to care to do much about it. Fucking Canucks fans.
  4. I'd never heard of prayer before a game or other events - at least at non-religious schools - and had attended CFB games in probably 25-30 places around the country when I started dating my now ex, a South Carolinian. She took me to a Gamecock game and, yes, there was a pre-game prayer, which shocked me. This was about 25 years ago and it continues to this day as far as I know. Being naive and from the PNW, I was shocked that it was even allowable at a state school. I received an education on the difference between the deep South and my part of the country that day and on many others, on many different things.
  5. We have several large ports on the Pacific, you dumb fucking squidbilly.
  6. We'll (WA state) go to Canada, or better yet, Denmark. We're pretty hygge up here.
  7. Ex-g/f lives in Altadena about 2 miles from that fire - we don't talk much anymore but I hope she's followed Bruin the hell out of there.
  8. They have for years. They just don't like to talk aboot it, eh? Curling bonspiel oot front shoulda told ya.
  9. No worries, and apologies for the pedantry. The J = ZH sound is one reason somebody told me Portuguese sounded like a Russian trying to speak Spanish (to my partially trained ear that applies more to European Portuguese rather than Brazilian, due to the different cadence).
  10. *injustiça the J in Portuguese is also pronounced more like "zh", so "in-zhoo-stee-sah." but yes, you're correct about his complaint. Of course, he could be complaining about the Jews. He complains about a lot of things.
  11. I hate all those teams. Except Texas. Hook 'em! (no Oregon embiggens my heart)
  12. Note that these aren't all apples-to-apples comparisons. In a handful of states (WA with an already high minimum wage, as above - also CA, OR, AK, MT*, MN, and Guam), there is no tipped wage - the state's minimum wage or higher wage per locality is the minimum wage for all jobs. In other states, several of which are listed in the quote, the tipped position minimums still apply. (*MT has some exceptions based on business size)
