The 2,000,000th post game

In rugby the typical length is 100m for the field of play plus the depth of the ingoal areas at both ends of the field, say 10m each - total 120m. The width is typically 70m so the area = 120m x 70m = 8400 sq m. A full size pitch (22m ingoal) would be 144m x 70m = 10080 sq m.

A curling rink is a rectangular area of ice, carefully prepared to be as flat and level as possible, 146 to 150 feet (45 to 46 m) in length by 14.5 to 16.5 feet (4.4 to 5.0 m) in width. The shorter borders of the sheet are called the backboards

Last screenshot is a comment on a character named Escanor fighting villains in an anime show of heroes and anti-heroes versus demons. I believe the series is called The Seven Deadly Sins.

2nd to last screenshot has 2 people commenting on Earnie Shavers. I'm pretty sure the man on the right is a boxer of former renown himself, and reminds me somewhat of Chris Eubanks or Trevor Berbick, but I can't be sure.

I used to regularly meet with someone who looked nearly exactly like this.
I'm finding that most of the people I encounter in real life have foreign nation counterparts. I suppose that's to be expected, though, given America's history.

I've met a couple women who look like this over the years.
Generally very good and fun and interesting conversationalists...

Surprisingly prophetic predictions:

This was a conversation I had with someone via private messaging.

There's not enough here to identify them, and the only thing they reveal is that they are a foreign speaker, which is no shame, and that they don't think a Supergirl movie will happen. So far, in terms of a full-length, live-action film, it hasn't; they're still right.

However, 2 years after this conversation, DC took my advice and put Supergirl on the small screen. That was CBS's 2015 Supergirl, and it transferred from CBS to sister channel CW, but is going now into its fifth season. They made the very wise decision to follow a 20-something year old Kara Zor-el to preclude anything problematic for the male viewing audience. Even future presidential candidate Jeb Bush admitted to looking forward to the series:

The other prescient thing discussed here was Wonder Woman, which took off when a woman of the type I described, Patty Jenkins, took directing reigns.

One of the most remarkable pieces of demographic info I've seen to date.
Over 80,000 viewers, with men out viewing women more than 10 to 1.
Highest in the 45-54 year old group, followed by the 55-64 year old group, precisely those you'd assume, from popular culture, who'd profess disinterest or "turnoff" for the subject matter.

Turns out people are incredibly intrigued by strong, beautiful women, even, or perhaps especially, those who pretend otherwise.

Think the talk show guest is Jessica Simpson, still leggy though far from her Beverly Hillbillies days ...
If I recall correctly, the Walsh excerpt is disapproving of the idea of a 150 pound kicker in the NFL. Despite my well known likes, I'm not sure they don't have some reasonably solid points.

I'm recalling now National Geographic World kids magazines.

Don't know if they still have those, but I'm recalling a regular feature page entitled "What in the World??" where subscribers would mail in photos, sometimes with a clue iirc, and have people guess at what they were looking at.

Be interesting to try and create a thread like that here. Might work marvelously if it could be kept tasteful ...

Niccola "Tankerbell" Lyons.

A favorite of mine ever since I was introduced to her.

The woman in pink is Mimi Bonny, who advocates a reasonably sound "Eat not Diet" approach to maintaining health and good weight.

Do you think all games board games or whatever came from Ouji.

You're in the mood to explore conspiracy theories today, hey?

You might like exploring the titleholder of the domain these screenshots came from then:

Screenshot from an unreleased portion of Supergirl meets Flash.

Here Barry winces from feeling a small portion of Kara's strength from her handshake. This scene was later replaced with an ice cream scene where Kara unwittingly illicited a similar pain response when trying to reassuringly squeeze/pat Barry's shoulder.

Kara unwittingly makes BOTH of her friends wince in pain at the accidental strength of her grip. I forget which season and episode this is from.
