Hi! I am doing some research on Zippy Chippy--a racehorse that went 0-100 in his career--and there have been a few mentions of an English Stay in School ad campaign featuring him. This would probably have been around the height of his infamy, maybe 1999-2001? I can't find any additional information, even what kind of campaign (print, radio, etc.). Thank you for ANY information!
Every other sport, be it Basketball, Football, or Baseball, Every player on Wikipedia has a greatly designed page, that shows you all of their accomplishments, how many MVP's the won, how many all pro teams they made etc. Why is it when you go to see a hockey player on Wikipedia, you have to scroll all the way down to see their accomplishments, and the layout is completely different from other athletes pages. This has ALWAYS bothered me, and I think it's hurting people's exposure to Hockey, so when you look up Wayne Gretzky, you can get a quick summary of his career and the big highlights. But you cannot see any superlatives given to a hockey player, the way you can see Walter Payton's, or Jerry Rice's career
WARNING - THIS POST IS FUCKING LONG. LIKE, REALLY FUCKING LONG....
So, recently there have been a quite few comments about ''what does this comment/reference mean'', ''can we do a Top 20 moments'', ''what did I miss etc...''
We also have a shit ton of noobs who probably missed a whole bunch, so hopefully this gives you some perspective.
This post started as a series of links to different stuff, but has gradually morphed into something a-lot more in-depth as inevitably more and more was remembered.
Apparently the repression therapy doesn't work....
No doubt, folks will remember things that have been forgotten here, apologies if your favorite moment was missed.
Put it in the comments...
u/HussySmurf did a Video version a while ago, but to be honest so much happens here its hard to catalogue it all...
We have been on quite the journey, loosely chronicled below, sometimes its good to reflect on that.
EPIC MOMENTS IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE SUB
It's a challenging task, but I'll try and keep these in a loose order of how they came about, time-line wise.
- THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND
Anyone who has been around a few minutes has either seen or heard of u/plucky26.
He played the Villain in the Butt-Apocalypse (which we will cover in due course) but the legend was created the night he went off meds, known in infamy as the long night of anal polling.
This was one of the first times the sub went crazy with posts and shit flinging comments, an ominous sign of things to come.
He is the owner/operator of r/ASX_banned, where banished souls go to lurk.
- THE ''DO STONKS ONLY LAST A DAY'' DEBACLE
- u/aweluth became a sub legend and created a legacy that lasted for quite some time, with this seemingly innocuous post on whether their stocks expire or not.
Slowly folks had begun lurking in the sub, numbers where trickling up

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
It’s pronounced “Noel.”
After all his first name is No-vac

Was really impressed by the reviews on the M1 and the battery life and decided to switch over to it as my daily driver over the last couple of months after using the SP7 for about a year as my main driver. Recently I've switched back to the SP7:
-M1 chippy was fast and zippy but honestly didn't notice a huge difference in performance between my SP7 Intel i5.
-After using the SP7 for so long, even the Macbook Air felt heavy and bulky to me -> REALLY like the featherweight and mobility that the SP7 build provides.
-The only CLEAR win the M1 Air had was amazing battery life, and why I bought in the first place. Easy 12-14 hours or more while sipping battery life and not impacting performance. Compare this maybe with max 5 hours you get with the SP7 for regular usage.
-Flexibility - ability to take off keyboard, use as tablet, press stuff on the screen, use it however way you want
However at the end of the day I missed the compactness and versatility of the SP7. I carry an external battery, although not the most convenient, to extend the battery life at least 1.5 times over when out and about.
Anyone else have a similar experience between SP and Mac?
TLDR: SP7 form factor and versatility > extended battery life and M1 chip of Macbook Air for me and went back to the Surface life.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
There hasn't been a post all year!
There hasn't been a single post this year!
(Happy 2022 from New Zealand)
