February 18th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
Of course it's real.
Where do you think the phrase "right to bear arms" came from???
February 18th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^

February 18th, 2019 at 2:47 PM ^
The French are unfurling their white bedsheets as we speak.
February 18th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^

February 18th, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
Lived down the street from the Cadieux Cafe. I went to a Christmas party there and had Oberon for the first time there. Eastside!!

Good for them for being progressive and trying to get the sedentary youth of the 1st world countries off the couch and away from the monitor to get some exercise While at the same time, ingeniously setting the seeds for future fencers.
February 18th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
Fencers definitely need all the help they can get to make future fencers.

Too many nerds on this blog. When can we get some good topics like whether your BM is so loud your neighbors hear it like they have on RCMB?
February 18th, 2019 at 1:19 PM ^
I think it just happened
February 19th, 2019 at 10:59 AM ^
I don't know if my neighbors heard, it but I did take a crap so big my pants fit better afterward.
February 18th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^

Merci beaucoup!
February 18th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^

February 18th, 2019 at 1:36 PM ^

I gave up when people started actually playing Quidditch. Or at least pretending to--I don't think anyone has actually figured out the flying broomstick part yet.

Sweet! I wonder if one will be able to find a great deal on many "never used and only dropped once" Light Sabers on the market soon?
February 18th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
France is light years ahead of us.
February 18th, 2019 at 5:05 PM ^
It'd be pretty cool if they could get James Earl Jones to be the ring announcer or color commentator.
February 18th, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^

February 18th, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
