interesting new scammer tactic, as I am getting emails from an account using a moderately obscure and antiquated name that is in fact my grandmother's legal name (that she did not go by). would probably have a slightly better chance at fooling me had she not died in 2010

Yankees-Red Sox being a wild card series is how things always should have been. This is a minor regional dispute that they need to settle amongst themselves before playing the rest of the country

tough break for LSU tonight, and I’m hearing a lot of rumblings that Lane Kiffin could be pushed aside for “someone who *can* engineer a second-half comeback” one name that’s coming up a lot? Cincinnati’s Scott Satterfield

already hearing a lot of Clemson boosters calling for a change—and with a 2-0 record and experience in the Carolinas, one name that’s getting a lot of heat is current Cincinnati head coach Scott Satterfield

it seems unlikely given the relative quality of the teams but now I very much want the last playoff at-large spot to come down to a choice between Michigan and LSU

If you aren't old enough to have appreciated it at the time, there was a very big sense of "irony/humor is dead!" right after the attacks, and The Onion kicking down that door two weeks later was an incredible breath of fresh air.

With the Kyle Whittingham era off to a rocky start, I’m hearing a lot of clamor for a quick change in Ann Arbor—and one name we can expect to hear in the mix is Cincinnati’s Scott Satterfield, who won convincingly against a P4 opponent this afternoon

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

here's why that dialect quiz sucks compared to the one that's been going around for more than a decade now!
