A list of puns related to "John Xix"
Pd. Sorry for my bad grammar, i'm not a natural english speaker.
I've been reading lately about the reports of child abuse, cases of serial killers or child molesters on U.S mostly because of interest about if this has some systematic behaviour behind or an historycal precedent. I've read about this man Albert Fish, and he declared that was abused on his childhodd while he was an inmate of St John's Orphanage on New York. I want to understand better the context that those childs faced and what could have happened with those childs once they become adults, if this person had a condition that was feeded by the abuse he suffered or if there was something else that could turned more childs like him into criminals. Thank you. Any info about other contemporary orphanage on the country or even on other wester countries where this things could have happened.
Not gonna lie. I hoped that this character will be interesting, but I did not expect that this man will become my favorite CK2 character with quite the character development. I felt like doing a post just about him and his deeds. I really enjoyed playing him and I felt like sharing the guy with you. I just wanted to inform you that this will be more than just a post. It'll be more in a form of a historical book writing. So let's get started...

The Life of Pope Ioannes XIX 'The Lionheart'
Childhood (pre-start made up by me)
The first mentions of Pope Ioannes XIX begin in the documents of bishopric of Aquilea (North Eastern Italy) when one night an abandoned baby is found by a group of priests at the doors of the local church. The chronicler wrote that the church members held a meeting immedeatly, discussing what to do with the baby that they found. After some 30 minutes of heated debates, the document says, that the priests agree upon the solution that arch-bishop of Aquilea will personally take in the child under his care. From the further writings, it is clear that the boy was given the name Heinrich von Blankenheim, having frenkisk (frankish) blood and was raised through his childhood and teenage years in the ways of the God at the very same church. There were also reports of him being rebellous sometimes, escaping during nights, loving the physical and risky life, often taking part in the local brawls and fights, using his sweet tongue, to get out from the wrath of the elders all dry and clean. A trait which he started to use for his own gains in the years to come, by the age of 16 he had developed quite the ambitious mindset.
Prince arch-bishop of Aquilea - Friuli
*In 1144 it is reported that the prince-archbishop of Aquilea is found dead in his bed from natural health causes. The news quickly spread around the local lands and a messenger to Rome is sent, informing Pope Coelestinus II of the news and the need of the new arch-bishop. Being raised by arch-bishop and already knowing the ways of ruling the lands belonging to a bishopric as he always helped his tutor, the young 16 year old Heinrich von Blankenheim was chosen as the new Prine-archbishop of Aquileia in 1144, January 1st, right at his birthday. The following months would go unteventfully with Heinrich awaiting for somekind of a political strike that opens up for him. H

Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, through my soul more bent
To serve threwith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.
Footnotes from Owl Eyes helped me appreciate the poem. (e.g. I didn't know that back in the day, the word fondly means foolishly, and he was recanting his question).
Hello everyone, I was part of the Maximum Darts team livestreaming the WDF World Cup last week from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. I operated the scoreboard during the finals, and I operated the cameras during the closing ceremonies. I also created the ads/inserts used, and designed the 180 cards distributed to the audience.
Unfortunately there's almost no way I can prove I was a part of it, since we were given almost no recognition. Attendees would recall me as the 21-year-old with neck-length brown hair and glasses wearing the Maximum Darts shirt.
Josephus is typically seen as having referenced Jesus of Nazareth twice in his book Antiquities (93/94 C.E.). While the reference to Jesus in Antiquities 18 as we have it now has probably been doctored by a later Christian scribe in a couple or a few areas, most of the passage as we have preserved now is authentic, according to most critical scholars (though the tone of the passage has been debated upon). Paula Fredriksen for example says in her book Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews (1999):
>"Most scholars currently incline to see the passage as basically authentic, with a few later insertions by a Christian scribe."
Likewise, Fredriksen reverberates something similar about the state of scholarship in her 2018 book, where she assumes that most take the TF (the Testimonium Flavianum) as authentic in it's core:
>"... most (though not all) scholars assume that Josephusβ originally brief notice on Jesus has been partially rewritten by later Christian scribes."
(Paula Fredriksen, When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation, Yale University Press, 2018, pp. 80-81)
Bart Ehrman likewise says in his book Did Jesus Exist? (HarperCollins, 2012):
>The big question is whether a Christian scribe (or scribes) simply added a few choice Christian additions to the passage or whether the entire thing was produced by a Christian and inserted in an appropriate place in Josephusβs Antiquities. The majority of scholars of early Judaism, and experts on Josephus, think that it was the formerβthat one or more Christian scribes βtouched upβ the passage a bit (pp. 49, emphasis mine).
Regarding the reference to Jesus in book 20, Alice Whealey writes,
>". . . Josephusβs passage about James the brother of Jesus (Ant. 20.200), the authenticity of which is in any case accepted by most contemporary scholars . . ."
(Alice Whealey, "The Testimonium Flavianum" in A Companion to Josephus, Honora Howell Chapman; Zuleika Rodgers, Wiley Blackwell, 2016, pp. 353).

Boomer Esiason was a native of the town of East Islip on Long Island, and he played college football at Maryland, leading them to an ACC title his senior year. The Bengals made him a second round pick in the 1984 draft. Esiason started four games his rookie year behind Ken Anderson and went 3-1. His strong performance left the Bengals confident that he was the man who could replace Anderson, the aging former MVP, and they made Esiason their primary starter in 1985. The Bengals missed the playoffs in each of Esiasonβs first four seasons in the league. However, despite the fact that the Bengals missed the playoffs, Esiason was still named to the 1986 Pro Bowl after throwing for 3959 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Esiasonβs career turned a corner in 1988. The Bengals suddenly became the best team in the league. Rookie running back Ickie Woods rushed for 1000 yards and 15 touchdowns, while wide receiver Eddie Brown caught 1200 yards. For his part, Esiason threw for 3500 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. The Bengals stormed to a 12-4 record and took the top seed in the AFC. For leading the best offense in the NFL that year, Esiason was named the 1988 league MVP. They scored wins over the Seahawks and Jim Kellyβs Bills to reach Super Bowl XXIII, where they faced Joe Montana and the 49ers for a rematch of Super Bowl XVI. Despite being the most electric team in the league that year, the Bengals would not be able to topple the dynasty, although they almost pulled it off. Esiason had the Bengals clinging to a 16-13 lead with 3:10 to go, but Montana executed a 92 yard drive that ended with a 10 yard touchdown pass to John Taylor with 34 seconds left, launching the 49ers to a 20-16 win and leaving the Bengals disappointed yet again.
Esiason would play 4 more seasons with the Bengals following his Super Bowl appearance, but never experienced the same success he had in 1988. He was named to a third Pro Bowl in 1989 after posting stats similar to his MVP season, but the Bengals only finished 8-8. Esiason helped them reach the playoffs one final time in 1990 after a season where he threw for 3000 yards and 24 touchdowns, but also led the league in interceptions with 22. This would be the Bengalsβ last playoff appearance until 2005, and to date is still their final playoff win. Esiasonβs play fell off in the following two seasons. In 1991, he failed to pass for 3000 yards and threw more

However, it is evident that The Grandaddy of Them All was not kind to Showster... at all. In fact, I believe no wrestler of his caliber has had a worse WrestleMania record. We are not just talking about losses here, but rather about booking, stupidity and overall madness. Let's get started !
WrestleMania 15: loses to Mankind via DQ. A DQ....at WrestleMania...against Mick fucking Foley ??? Also, since the giant couldn't get the job done on his own, here comes Vince to make a bitch out of him some more by slapping him around. Show then KO's Vince.. with a simple right hand mind you, which is a gripe we will address later.
WrestleMania 2000 : loses in a Four Way vs Foley, Triple H and The Rock. The McMahon Quartet's egomania is running wild brother, yawn. It's incredible to me how stacked this main event was, yet nobody remembers it. Oh right, it sucked, plans changed multiple times, McMahons stole the spotlight and it should have been Rocky and Hunter one on one. Yawn. Nothing too awful about this match, just...forgettable.
WrestleMania X-Seven : loses in a Three Way vs Kane and Raven. Perfect fucking match, definitely Show's best Mania performance and one of his all-time greatest bouts. Stars truly aligned that night and made this spectacle a spectacle. Great talent + great booking + great spots + great finish + great crowd = iconic status. Fantastic match, watch it if you haven't done so already.
WrestleMania XIX : teams with A-Train to lose against Undertaker. Wow, this match is a memory I definitely did not have to relive, but here we are. Come to think of it, it could have been much worse, as Taker was scheduled to team with Nathan. Jones. to face Showster and Trainster. Handicap match and tHe uNsToPpAbLe gIaNt still loses, are we going to get 5 Mania losses in a row ??
WrestleMania 20 : loses to John Cena. Damn right we will, time to put over Big Match John in the opening match. Inherently, there was nothing wrong with the match, it helped put Cena over and featured a cool finish. However, yet again, the big bad giant is just... a bitch. I believe though, Show's luck will turn with next year's Mania. I believe...
WrestleMania 21 : loses to Akebono in a goddamn Sumo match. I shouldn't have believed. So, not only is Big Show a loser in a wrestling ring, but in a sumo ring

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

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.

This is the third part of my ranking of the lead rusher of every Super Bowl winning team. If you haven't been following my ranking, here's a brief explanation. The Lead Rusher is defined as the player who gets the most rushing yards of any player on the team during the regular season of the year that team wins the Super Bowl. So since the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in 2020, the lead rusher is Ronald Jones, who got the most rushing yards in the 2020 regular season. Even though Leonard Fournette got more action in the playoffs, Jones is still considered the lead rusher. I am ranking the players based on their entire careers, not the Super Bowl seasons. In cases where a player led more than one Super Bowl winning team in rushing, they receive one entry for their entire career, not separate entries for each season. Due to several repeats, there are only 43 entries on this list. Since I am ranking the lead rusher I'm primarily going to be looking at their rushing stats, although I will include their receiving stats as well if it's relevant.
To make this ranking easier, I divided it into four parts: The Bottom Tier (43-31), the Mid Tier (30-21), The Top Tier (20-11), and the Hall of Fame Tier (10-1). This is the Top Tier, including entries 20 through 11. I will link to the previous two posts at the bottom.
Let's begin.
20. Wendell Tyler, 1984 San Francisco 49ers (246 attempts, 1262 yards, 7 touchdowns)
For much of his career, Wendell Tyler was a very underrated back. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Tyler went west to play college football at UCLA. He currently remains fifth all-time in rushing yards for the Bruins, and helped them win the 1975 Rose Bowl. He stayed in Southern California after the Los Angeles Rams selected him in the third round of the 1977 draft. Tyler saw very little playing time his first two years as the backup to Pro Bowler Lawrence McCutcheon, and he received just 75 carries combined in 1977 and 1978.
The Rams stuck with Tyler, and he broke out in 1979, helping them reach their first Super Bowl in franchise history. Tyler led the team with 218 carries, 1109 yards, and 9 rushing touchdowns, beating out former lead rushers Lawrence McCutcheon and Cullen Bryant for the starting job. He also contributed to the receiving game, catching 32 passes for 308 yards. On the Ramsβ Cinderella run to the Super Bowl, Tyler helped the Rams knock off the 2x defending NFC champion Cowboys with a receiving touchdown. Tyler played in his first Su
