Cherry picked examples in OP - where my parents are from (Guyana), snakes would routinely catch cats (and dogs, and pretty much anything they could fit in their mouth). Snakes are ambush predators - they will drop out of trees or hide in bushes before striking. In a face to face, it wouldn't...

I don't think I was ever physically scared of my father - he was 5'5 and 140lbs soaking wet. He was also a professor and did no manual labor in his entire life. Mind you, both him and my mom were masters of emotional guilt. I was scared of disappointing them - they made it feel as though the...

He outlanded Devin by 20 punches. He definitely fought a weird fight (with regards to turning his back), but give the man his flowers. He won fair and square.

Very happy for Ryan after everybody wrote him off (myself included). Also, what the fuck happened to Clarissa Shields? Her legs looked like a racehorse, and she was legitimately dwarfing Shawn Porter

Thank you for this well thought out post. One of the things I learned from the show is that people who have Downs can exist on a broad spectrum of ability (intellectual and physical). One of the girls was a voracious reader and spoke eloquently, while another boy was much more limited in his...

I feel genuinely sad for Ryan - I remember watching him during his Breakfast Club interview and he seemed so unnaturally amped up and had a frenetic energy to him. Since then, he has been spiraling. People (myself included) thought that it may be part of an act to throw Devin off of his game...

A friend of mind introduced me to the show "Down for Love", which is a Netflix series that explores people with Down Syndrome (and other cognitive impairments) finding love. It's a fascinating and quite moving show, but in one of the episodes, they talk about a couple with downs syndrome...

No, but he makes a great Teddy Bear. (I personally put him in my "modern day" top 3 - Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson)

I like eating a lot of meat on cheat days - Instead of eating bland roast chicken, I will treat myself to something with more fat in it. My go to is Korean Fried Chicken or Chicken Wings. Tastes great, I still get my protein and I get some much needed carbs/simple sugars (which I generally...

Holy shit Phantasmagoria. I haven't thought about that game since I was in Grade 9 (almost 25 years ago) - FMV video games always seemed so promising in concept, but disappointing in execution. PS: Phantasmagoria showed full frontal nudity - one of the key reasons for me wanting the game.

I regret googling mexican sugar dancing. Nothing graphic came up, but the explanation was upsetting in and of itself.

My brother renting the original UFC tournaments on VHS and telling me it was a fight to the death. The first fight I watched voluntarily was Matt Hughes vs Carlos Newton (because Carlos was from Canada). What made me fall in love with the sport however:

Ramadan didn't stop the UFC from offering the fight to Islam, Khamzat or Shavkat (all practicing muslims).

Can Mentos get some love up in here?

You can be trained to punch harder, but I think that people are born with that "one shot" power that can spark a person out cold.

No, they do. They sell it in the drinks/juice aisle - you can also get a squeeze bottle of Orange/Purple Tang, and Iced Tea.

I am drinking it now. I drink 2 gallons of water a day, and I couldn't do it without Crystal light.

I had it happen with my best friend from high school and university - I was really close to both him and his entire family (particularly his two brothers). While he was a fun and charismatic guy, he would terrorize his younger brothers - I'm talking legitimate emotional and physical abuse. One...

I was born and raised in Toronto, and the "accent" they speak of is Caribbean patois mixed with the general intonation and word choices of Canadians as a whole. I most commonly associate that accent with kids trying to act black. Most adults do not speak like that.

That was terrible.....Credit to Conor for playing a convincing lunatic.
