Chicago has banned the use of smokeless tobacco in baseball parks, even by players. Those who violate the ban could be fined $100 to $250 for each violation.

  you know who else banned smokeless tobacco in baseball parks?
2. Jerryskids 9 years ago
  
  Nonsense. They haven't banned the vegan non-GMO gluten-free low-sodium hot dogs. The Cracker Jack contains peanuts, so, duh, of course those have been banned, along with the sodey pop in anything over 12 ounces. It's a good thing.

"We strongly believe that children should not be exposed to smokeless tobacco or see such products being used by their on-field sports heroes,"

Oh well in that case I can understand, Too bad you don't have any control over who plays or coaches on your team, being owner and all.

  'This game brought to you by Bud Light,the offical beer of the Chicago Cubs'

    I thought that was Old Style.
    1. Adans smith 9 years ago
      
      Same thing,shit 'beer'.

        Is Bud Light Kraeusened? Authentically or otherwise? I think not.

No more smokeless? So they're all going to have to use cigarettes? THAT'S GOING TO LOOK EVEN WORSE.

  It all good. The cool kids "vape" (pronounced V-rape) anyways. And baseball is such a role model sport.

Just how is exposure to second hand smokeless tobacco bad for children? I mean, it's not like the players are swapping spit with...

Oh.

Ew.

OT: Heard this on the radio. How is this for luck. A 19 year old Mormon missionary was injured (not badly) at the Brussels terrorist bombings yesterday. He was also on the outskirts of Paris during the last terrorist attack there. And he was at the finish line at the Boston Marathon waiting for his mom when the bombings happened there.

I'm not sure if he has good luck or bad luck, but he does have luck.

  Seems fishy to me. We know that Muslims aren't behind these attacks. I've been assured of this? Maybe beneath their annoyingly friendly exterior, it's been the Mormons all along?
  1. The Hyperbole 9 years ago
    
    Or maybe he was the target the whole time. I usually just tell em to piss off and slam the door, but everyone deals with annoyances in their own way.

      Just tell them your Jewish,worked for me.

    Do we know for sure they were Muslims?

      Maybe Mossad Kidon?

  Maybe he's an incompetent time traveler, trying to stop these things. I heard a rumor that his next trip involves trying to get Hitler accepted into art school.

OT. Please tell me that this is a parody. PLEASE.

  Students protested yesterday at the Emory Administration Building following a series of overnight, apparent pro-Donald Trump for president chalkings throughout campus.
  
  Roughly 40 students gathered shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the outdoors space between the Administration Building and Goodrich C. White Hall; many students carried signs featuring slogans such as "Stop Trump" or "Stop Hate" and an antiphonal chant addressed to University administration, led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded "You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!" throughout the Quad.

    It's not. Reason just had an article about it yesterday.

      How the hell did I miss that?! I wasted hours on here yesterday.

        You probably went away from the computer for a couple minutes to do some work, and in that interval you missed it.

    Fuck off. Whatever happens to you is your own damn fault.
    
    "They have things in here?that he should have known, that he was engaging in a dangerous activity," the Coss family's attorney Andrew Levine told Streetsblog, referring to the City's response to the lawsuit. "He's a pedestrian walking across the street with the walk signal."

      Were you trying to post this someplace else? It doesn't make sense as a reply to that comment.
      1. Jerryskids 9 years ago
        
        Fuck off. Whatever happens to you is your own damn fault.
        
        How is that ever not the most sensible, logical, responsible, practical reply to any comment whatsoever on these boards?
        
        Yes, now that you ask, I was trying to post it elsewhere but the squirrelses have chosen to plant it here and here it shall remain.

  He also added that if they're students, they will go through the conduct violation process,
  
  What the fucking fuck?

    They have committed wrongthink. That is a violation of the student conduct policy.
