Can it really be called a sport if there are a dozen seagulls on the pitch and nobody is bothered by that?
― koogs, Saturday, 7 September 2019 03:18 (six years ago)
They're incredibly excited - each seagull is worth 10 goals - but the rules strictly penalise showing it.
― Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 7 September 2019 12:57 (six years ago)
You don't get seagulls on the pitch in snooker

ok the thread has moved on but fred herzog photos of vancouver are probably my favourite vancouver artifacts. i walk down hastings street every day and it's interesting to compare the contemporary view with that neon-laden past of the strip depict in herzog's photos

NYC poet and avant-jazz scene fixture Steve Dalachinsky. I knew him for about 20 years, saw him at every Vision Festival I attended and a million gigs at the Knitting Factory, Tonic, and other places. He was even hanging out at the Whitney Museum when I interviewed Cecil Taylor there for The Wire. An awesome guy. I’ll miss him.
