I can imagine there being some fetishists hanging around at that event with concealed gravy boats in their raincoats waiting for a crafty 'scoop' when no one's looking.

ugh

Very interesting to see the word 'iteration' in that wrasslin' piece. That used to be exclusively a computing word.

I notice some writers talk about the 12th 'edition' of such contests but I think that's pretentious.

That is the ultimate NHOTW news item.

I like the car hightailing it out of the way of the oncoming bauble at 0:15..

I saw this headline and his photo earlier and thought that I didn't remember the boy being black - but watching it back you don't actually see the other boy!

by Fangirl Three Thu Feb 23, 2023 6:51 am

That is interesting. And now the boy that we do see will be assumed by all to be the convicted one.

by Nightjar Thu Feb 23, 2023 11:12 am

Perhaps if they'd shown his face he wouldn't have gone on to kill? hmm

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Thu Feb 23, 2023 12:45 pm

They both say Accrington Stanley, so which one is it?

I'm only going from the title, and that's as far as I'm going Colbert

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Feb 23, 2023 1:06 pm

He's the one who says, "Accrington Stanley? Who're they?"

I admit my first thought was of him, and I'd guess so will most other people who remember the advert. I could still picture his face.
