If you had bet the Knicks ML every time they were down 15 points in the NBA playoffs this year…well, you wouldn’t be a trillionaire, but you’d have some serious dough!

@Eskimi_Citizen Wasn’t that at the World Triple C Cup?

One question I’ve always had about this ending in Rounders. Mike doesn’t ever call the all-in. He touches his chips a little and then flips over his cards. At some casinos isn’t that a muck?

@bruce_arthur @Bethanie_Cabral He was just showing her his putter.

If what the New York Knicks are doing in the playoffs seems unbelievable, it’s only because NO TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA HAS DONE THIS BEFORE.

Explosion sound heard in Boston Cambridge MA registered as an impact on my dashcam. You can hear a double bang. #explosion #boston #cambridge not a scientist, but it sounds like a sonicboom to me. Leaves on the tree don't move at all. Might be a clue

@baym what was that? first thought was something blowing up!

Ooooh, are we sharing fables? I got one for you.

So, there's this frog that enters public service, presumably for the right reasons. He spends years as a district judge, then gets elected to the state supreme court, then attorney general of that state.

Wouldn't you know it, that frog makes his way up to the U.S. Senate and gets reelected a few times. He seems to have a great path ahead.

Well, along comes this scorpion who's running for president and saying outright: if you don't support me, I'm gonna sting you.

The supposedly wise frog warns everyone else about the scorpion, tells them this scorpion is bad news, tells them this scorpion is gonna sting them with no regard for their support.

Alas, the scorpion is elected anyway, and the frog, despite knowing the scorpion is going to sting, keeps supporting the scorpion.

The frog, once wise, spends a decade defending the scorpion stinging others even though the frog knows there's a damn good chance he's gonna get stung himself because the scorpion doesn't do loyalty.

The frog, you see, is too chickenshit to speak out against the scorpion and decides to just wait out the scorpion's time. He's okay with others getting stung, though. He figures if he can appeal to the scorpion's ego and support him, he'll evade the eventual sting.

So, he spends years pandering to the scorpion and looking the other way while others get stung. And after a while, he figures he's gonna make it out okay.

Well, along comes this other frog who panders even harder. A truly corrupt and nasty frog. No integrity at all. Seems to have no soul.

And the frog thinks: there ain't no way the scorpion is gonna favor this other frog. I've bent over backwards for the scorpion. I've been loyal. This other frog is ugly as sin. No one likes the other frog. The scorpion ain't gonna choose him over me, right?

The frog is now neck-deep in delusion. He thinks the way to get out of this pickle is to pander to the scorpion even harder. He even tries to get a highway named after the scorpion.

Well... it didn't work. One day, the scorpion thanked the frog for his loyalty and then repeatedly stung him into oblivion. Stung him over and over. Seemed to enjoy it, honestly.

I think I read that in Aesop's or somewhere.

@bogeyroyale There is no worse feeling in golf.

[MJC @MattCFromMA]

Bases loaded and no outs and Red Sox hit into a double play. This is the worst offense I’ve ever seen.

@khnh80044 @Bobby_Don_Welch Funny that for the first chorus, Stevie was off key. She fixed it for the remaining ones. Such a great song.
