photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇
Coaching summer league swimming, I had to fill out a sheet with how many swimmers I had per heat, something I never had to do before. I used "high level" math as my numbers
Little dude home sick
Mom gone and Tuesday swim class
Perhaps he is "sick"?

A man stands up at a town hall meeting to announce that white chocolate is bullshit.
"White chocolate" is bullshit
The commentators said they are 26 so they should have another go at it in 2030
Yes! They get bronze! Which is great since Germany hasn't really been a player in ice skating
Pretty sure the German skater said "I'm sorry" to her partner after that skate. But will they get a medal?
There is a phone ringing and a siren as part of the skaters' music?
The whole US team aesthetic is really good. The shade of blue, the USA in white with a red drop-shadow, the Captain America-esque stars on the shoulders
I've never been so invested in a bobsled race before. Dad is happy in this house
The S/T is the only one I have. And yeah it's a great album.
I gotta say, the song has never done anything for me. Given the fact that the boys didn't include it on OOT, threw it on a soundtrack, and never really performed it, I rest my case.
The agony of defeat
This means the Haitian skier finished ahead of him
Another question for @thekenchilds.com - we see a lot of sleds hitting the wood on the top of the track on turns. What is the cause for this? Poor track design? Poor piloting? Something else?
Step out in darkness
Another coating of white
Footsteps break surface

I went through a period way way back where I was obsessed with this song
Me watching the American Women in the Monobob: yes, yes they do
There are also two amazing American athletes named Simone
Here are my thoughts

Wrong take Ken. Fretless was relegated to non-album tracks for a reason.
And it's a house divided here for this hockey game tonight
As one of your new followers, I remember downloading two songs of your ~20 years ago via MP3 blogs
In English it's Regular Hill and Big Hill. But in German it's Ski Jumping and Ski Flying. I like the distinction in the German better
That was a false start by Italy!
My years of watching swimming starts are trained on this
We've been to a couple of pools like this. Definitely a cool experience. I've come to really like the concept of an Erlebnisbad here. They're not quite like the pools I'm used to back home.
Despite all my interests in sports, I've never gotten into hockey, but I always watch Olympic Hockey
Whenever I watch Olympic Hockey, I get a nostalgic feeling of playing Ice Hockey on the NES
Ken, the trainer(?) of the German team that is with them at the start has an uncanny resemblance to you. how do we know you are not moonlighting?
I'll relay the message to her
I'll see if she is adventurous
