    Conor MacGregor got into a fight in an Irish pub and attacked 3 folks. Turns out they were the wrong people.

    One of them was the father of Graham "The Wig" Whelan. Yep, that thing between brackets kinda splains what I mean with "wrong people".

    The mafia gang now demand financial restitution or they go after the MMA fighter.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Morris. Did you read the article you linked to?

    According to various unconfirmed reports in Ireland and the UK [...]
    Irish police have said they are not investigating the scuffle. “There is no report on this matter and no complaint from any injured parties, patrons of the pub or the pub itself and no statements were taken,” an Irish police spokesman has told The Irish Independent.
    UFC boss Dana White said on Wednesday the promotion has not received any information regarding McGregor’s involvement in an alleged bar fight. “I don’t think it’s true,” White said.

    How the fuck do you not know the Irish mob exists, Duke? You live in Massachusetts.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I knew it existed at some point.... Boston is all cleaned up now regardless of how it's portrayed in Black Mass, Departed and The Town. Every Boston burrow (except Dorchester) is filled with rich college kids now.

    Yeah I read the article Irish, but not sure whether that confirms it was just an affectionate cuddle.

    This is fucking wild and hilarious (but I'm sure angering to many): https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/29/thou...ots-union.html

    A computer glitch allowed American Airlines to offer all of their pilots to schedule Christmas week off. They did. So now there are thousands of AA flights without pilots on Christmas.

    Some people may not have the 2-3 days it would take to drive to their parents' homes.

    If MC was predicting that Trump would start a war with Abba, then I sure as hell missed it.
