Peak DC 2017: "Dacha Plans Playground For Kids at 600-Seat Beer Garden on 14th Street" -- (link) - MDH May 18, 06:42 4
- Australia has tainted me. Initial reaction "why is that weird or newsworthy?" So many drinking places have playgrounds here. -- nm - mafic May 18, 06:45 3
  - One of the biggest neighborhood fights here as of late is whether kids should be allowed in bars. -- nm - MDH May 18, 06:45 2
    - Generally speaking, it depends on the bar. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 18, 06:54
    - The only problem I ever have with it is when bars are really loud. Poor kids man. - mafic May 18, 06:49
"The peacock is kind of in love with the turkey," Hogeweide told CTV Vancouver. When asked how he knows this.... -- (link) - Beaker May 18, 06:28
Just saw the Cornell news and I'm surprised at the level of gut punch shock I feel right now. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 18, 06:20 5
- 2016 sort of numbed me to this. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 06:48
- I was never a huge fan, but I recognize how talented he was, and liked some Soundgarden stuff. Glad we saw him a few weeks ago. - JaxSean May 18, 06:45

- 10 -- nm - groiny May 18, 06:47
- 5-10 -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:39 1
  - I figure you will eat there at least 4-6 times in the next six months so I'd get a few extra just in case. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:39
- 180 -- nm - ty97 May 18, 06:37

    - and lots of garlic - it's pretty much the only pizza I eat -- nm - decline May 18, 06:51 2
      - It's a bit too dry for me to eat it often. I end up missing the sauce. I would like to put some ricotta on a regular slice, I'm sure that'll be good. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:57
      - Yeah but you also like the Eagles. - Shaun May 18, 06:54
    - A pizza isn't a pizza without some type of sauce. You just completely invalidated any pizza cred you had. - Shaun May 18, 06:44 4
      - You'll have to tell that to the Italians, it's a real thing. (I've also seen pizza bianca made with zucchini, rosemary and parmesan) -- nm - Roger More May 18, 06:50
      - I didn't invent it and considering what you people eat that you call pizza it's a much better and tastier pizza. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:45 2
        
        See up there when I said you had zero pizza cred left? -- nm - Shaun May 18, 06:49 1

Both Sam Raimi and Marc Webb have already passed on directing The Flash, according to new reports -- nm - Beaker May 18, 06:09 3
- no one should let Raimi anywhere near a super hero movie again. -- nm - groiny May 18, 06:48 2
  - Most of Spidey 3 was forced on him - Reagen May 18, 06:51 1
    - well, I was not a huge fan on 1, 2 was better, and 3 was a joke. -- nm - groiny May 18, 06:52

      - It's probably somewhat a combo of the two. I mean, he didn't get where he is in business by not having *some* cunning. - ty97 May 18, 06:33
      - He was a celebrity, so it wasn't entirely random. And it's the nature of democracy that most voters don't put too much analysis into their reasons. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 18, 06:14 4

      - [deleted]
      - This. -- nm - mafic May 18, 06:50
      - What allowed him to win was trolls embracing a troll. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 18, 06:50 2
        
        60 million troll votes? Stupid people don't get to be president. - mafic May 18, 06:52 1

        Have you actually even met human beings? Never ascribe to malice what can easily be explained by sheer stupidity. -- nm - TWuG May 18, 06:37 1

        Even if he's a brilliant tactician, we're still sad sacks for voting for this pile of trash -- nm - ty97 May 18, 06:35 3

- so he';s winning then -- nm - Beaker May 18, 06:01
- I mean, it's pretty good, but it's early to say it's the greatest. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 05:58 2
  - right? it's totally deflategate -- nm - prayformojo May 18, 06:02 1

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor says he has signed a "record-breaking deal" to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- (link) - Beaker May 18, 04:37 10
- As a straight-up boxing match, I don't see how the outcome is anything other than embarrassing. -- nm - volnelk May 18, 04:49 9
  - You're right, it's not a smart move for Mayweather but I guess money is everything -- nm - J May 18, 04:56 5
