    Why choose the Russian version of Florida for a Winter Olympics? Well, Putin has some pictures and recordings of certain Olympic selection committee persons which they prefer would not be distributed.

    It was a terrible choice to hold the Olympics. The facilities are subpar and the conditions terrible. Let's hold the Winter Olympics on the Big Island next time, why don't we.

    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

      Every thread is a no spoilers thread, but especially threads discussing live sporting events which will be shown locally on tape-delay. It's called "the internet is not all about Topper" rule, as hard as that may be for Topper to accept.

        So we're not supposed to talk about something that has already happened until people determine we can talk about something that has already happened may be discussed even if we have already watched it on tv?

                Yeah, take a read through the movie thread, and notice that people are courteous enough to place plot-specific discussions about months-old films within spoiler tags.

                  Come on. Simple courtesy. If you can't figure it out, post somewhere else.

                          This place is contemplating encouraging or practicing courtesy? Good to know that it is in the planning stages.

                            You still don't get it. I suspect you never will.

                                I suspect the level of courtesy you believe exists is extinct. It exists when you wish it; otherwise all is rampant with excrement. Of course, I get your banal message, but will ignore it until you practice what you preach.
