The Bad News: The sad passing of wrasslin' legend Rowdy Roddy Piper.
The Gone Right: You get a good laugh at my expense. My darkest and most hilarious secret.
I was one of the kids in 'Fighting Fit with Rowdy Roddy Piper'.
Don't believe me? I just googled it and found this review. I'm the kid who he describes as trying to stop myself bursting into laughter. There's a picture. It's awesome. I think I was 7.
Sick self defence techniques though. Saved my ass a dozen times....
I never realised Armadillos look quite like something out of Dark Souls. Strangely appropriate.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

That's a 3 banded Armadillo, for most people when they think Armadillo they think of the 9 banded armadillo.
Theres also the Giant Armadillo, which is something the size of a dog and can weigh over 150lbs, and the Fairy Armadillo that looks like a lobster tail with legs.
theres more than that, too. but this isn't an Armadillo thread.
Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
So they chose a mountain that doesn't get snow for the winter olympics, meaning they'll have to import the snow from an area that is currently turning arid and running out of drinking water... Its like the olympic committee wanted to out stupid the FIFA group.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I can't remember where but a few days ago I heard someone suggest that from now on all the Olympics are going to end up being hosted by dictatorships because those are the only governments that can force their people to accept the boondoggles.

on the surface it sounds reasonable, given how hosts have to give up pesky things like rule of law, sovereignty, etc..
but even the richest dictatorship on earth couldn't make sochi not a boondoggle quagmire, most others more than likely couldn't afford to build the facilities at all
Apparently Boston has declined to host the games so the IOC is reaching out to three other cities in the USA to put in a bid to replace them. I really hope none of the three, with Los Angeles being one, falls for this nonsense.

UN-run artificial island to run all international sports competitions, so there's only one more multibillion-dollar construction effort, and the facilities are used frequently rather than being abandoned.

Because they have such a great track record don't they.
A permanent Olympic site with the maintenance bill shared among participating nations sounds like the best way. Use every 4 years (or more frequent even, world champs can be held there etc) is better than the current of state-of-the-art-used-once* we see currently. We can even keep a host nation ceremony to spread around, allowing even smaller nations to act as hosts.
The problems is of course where to place it, and how it gets kind of boring seeing the same venue every time. A lot of other issues as well, I just grabbed two off the top of my head.

Losing athletes have to fight through wild animals and dangerous terrain before their planes take off on the other side of the island.

Ultimate Olympics: All events (Winter and Summer) are held inside the Gigadome™, an immense, ruinously expensive facility built in Antarctica. All animal based events are eliminated, no more dancing horses. All drugs and artificial enhancements are allowed. At this Olympics, nothing but the very best will be accepted and yes, the athletes did ask for this, even the 12 year old female gymnasts from China. Events will take place according to when the maximum amount of people will tune in to watch the free live stream.
Other than the original construction contracts and later supply and maintenance contracts, corruption will plummet. No more billion dollar stadiums abandoned after a few weeks use. The prosthetics and drug industries will be turbocharged as countries vie for dominance. All the ridiculous broadcasting rights causing events to air "live" hours after they've happened will be gone. And best of all, no more stupid horse events.

To be fair, it's possibly not about hate. Armadillos are potential carriers of leprosy.
Yeah and they are rodent/vermin to a lot of people.

Thats horribly depressing and probably accurate.

Nothing really gone right with this one outside of a "right about where I would expect this."
Edit: Geth apparently scanned it without noting the fratricide.

Theres been several of these types of things.
The only surprise to me is that they last more than an hour because people are assholes.

That's also why we routinely tear down street lights and shoot at news helicopters.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
So there were a couple of guys who were up to no good?
Started sendin' robots to our neighborhood.
Looks like these dogs knew who was the real top dog.
