It's also known as Unihockey, and it's apparently popular in Scandinavia. It's in some ways similar to field hockey, which is popular in West Europe and the Indian subcontinent.

Yep, pretty much everyone I know has played it at one point, either in school gym class or just on the street with friends. It's very fun, cheap and easy to play.

There is a national league so it's not really underground, but it's nowhere near football or ice hockey.

I admit I know even less about hockey than I do most sports, but is charging full tilt at someone like that allowed? That's not a "gonna get the puck" charge, that's a "I'mma gently caress you up" charge.

No I'm pretty sure that's a charging. Or rather it would have been if it hit. Dunno what would happen in this situation.

The funniest thing Re: TV licensing was when the inspector came by the student housing. The entire campus went into full wartime lockdown in less than a minute because gently caress paying a fee that meant one less case of beer a month.

e: getting out once you were signed up used to be a huge pain, at least in Sweden. Until recently you actually had to snail mail them a signed form saying you no longer own a TV, then they called you a couple of times to guilt you into paying before you were out. At least they asked you who you sold/gave the TV to so you could get them to bother someone that deserved it :haw:

Yeah these days it's easier. My friend just called them and said he dropped his TV down the stairs when moving to a new place and that was that. I did the same a few years later, they call and pester you every so often, but they generally take a simple "no" these days.

Celebrating a football goal like that isn't really strange, it happens a lot (though lol if you do it in whatever bush league that is). The real idiocy is that they ran back to their own half to do it. Play isn't allowed to start again until all players on the scoring team are back on their half.

Speaking of background checks ...

We had a disgruntled employee who ran background checks on everyone in the office (only about 12 of us) and then emailed the results to everyone. Normal stuff, nothing exciting (a couple DUI, one guy had a minor drug thing in the mid 90s) but the Schad comes from when he came into the office screaming about money we owed him and tried to physically attack the owner. Got the poo poo kicked out of him by a bunch of dudes and held in a choke hold until the cops came. Managed to piss himself in the process.

The cops thought that was hilarious (and so did everyone else).

it was the owner's son

Can't help but feel like you skipped a bit in the middle there.

They have done so. You can find it next to Esquire and GQ in many stores.

Wait so, did they drop the pinup bits altogether and it's all articles now? Or did they just cut down on the nudes and included more written material? I guess with internet porn being literally everywhere it's tough to try and sell printed stuff nowadays, especially as even most middle-aged people know enough computer stuff to find what they want.

Also wasn't Hefner selling the Playboy mansion?

probably because they can get the card number over the phone and drain it of value immediately rather than waiting for something to come in the mail

I think the question was more like what can they actually buy from iTunes that's so valuable and expensive they gotta steal gift cards for it? I can't imagine they buy a lot of ebooks. Or do they just resell them or something?

Probably late, but the LA Times has been doing a writeup of an incident that occurred back in 2011 that's just wrapping up now

http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-framed/

The gist is somewhat simple: The head of an elementary school PTA has drugs planted in her car by a pair of high powered lawyers. The resulting clusterfuck sees both lawyers convicted and disbarred.

The final part of it comes out on Sunday, which I'm hoping has the results of the civil case in which their family is utterly cratered.

looking up the actual results, the PTA lady was awarded 5.6 million dollars, but the article is well written and worth a look.

What a bunch of loving nutjobs. How can someone get that vindictive and petty. Also lol @ the self-insert self-published revenge novel she wrote.

Anyone who reads world news probably heard about this already, but if you haven't:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/05/philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-barack-obama-son-whore

quote:

The defiant Philippine leader has responded to critics with a string of outbursts, including labelling the US ambassador to Manila a “gay son of a whore”, telling the Catholic church “don’t gently caress with me”, and accusing the UN of issuing “making GBS threads” statements about his anti-drugs policies.

quote:

In June, the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, condemned Duterte’s apparent support for extrajudicial killings, saying they were “illegal and a breach of fundamental rights and freedoms”. Duterte replied by calling the UN “stupid” and threatening to withdraw the Philippines from the supranational body.

Quite the character. I'm no expert on world relations but I think the Phillippines need the US as an ally in the water territorial disputes with China, among other things.
