I can't say I feel bad for Triple H. He's known what kind of man Vince is.
The real mystery is how this real behind the scenes WWF drama got into my news stuff because I haven't watched it at all in awhile, with the most recent I can recall seeing being the Shawn Michael's retirement match with the Undertaker.

Something I have long wondered about, I say this old larp friend and I were pretty much dead even in skill with the swords. And that's because we had long, drawn out fights and were never able to gain more than one victory ahead of the other.
But he's taller than me, has longer arms than me, and used two long swords whereas I juse one.
So is it really accurate to say we were even in skill?

Nope. As presented, you'd have more 'skill', but you're achieving equal results due to other factors.

That's kind of how I've felt. Regardless those fights were always the most fun, and easily among the more difficult opponents I faced there. Except, however, when it came to using a bo staff. With that, hell yeah I'll brag that I nearly wiped an entire player party out as a bo staff wielding demon. I get one of those and I am a whirlwind on the battlefield.
And, surprisingly you have to be careful with these foam weapons because an enthusiastic battle can easily turn something resembling Rocky v Drago real quick. Never happened to me but owner of the LARP group woke up peeing blood from a kidney whack one morning.

Online Petition to Change Islamabad's Name to 'Islamagood' Has Received Over 300 Signatures (news18.com)

Apetition started online to change the name of the capital of Pakistan from Islamabad to “Islamagood" has already received over 300 signatures.

The petition was started by Ayham Abrar, who claims to be a native of Bangladesh. In the description section for his petition on Change.org, Abrar wrote, “Islam is good. Pakistan love Islam. Why IslamaBAD? Love from Bangladesh."

At the time of writing this, the petition has 309 signatures and is directed at the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan.

Many on Twitter were quick to point out that the petition makes little sense because Islamabad is technically not “Islama-bad". Instead, it is “Islam-abad."

There's a petition to change Islamabad's name to Islamagood because IslamaBad sounds Islamophobic. pic.twitter.com/IvOf4k9FlL— Haider Ali (@Jaded_Wanderer) February 19, 2021

Islamabad actually means the City of Islam. It is a compound word consisting of two Urdu words - Islam and Abad. Abad can roughly be translated to location. That is why a large number of places, even in India, end with the suffix ‘Abad’.

In 2020, a similar petition had been filed on Change.org to change the name of Columbus, in Ohio, US to “Flavourland." This petition, however, had a deeper significance.

Consistent protests against the intersectional racism inherent in the United States of America (USA) brought along a lot of required changes. One of these changes was the removal of the statues of Christopher Columbus.

After Columbus, Ohio’s Mayor announced that the Columbus statues of the city will also be removed, a petition was created on Change.org pushing for renaming the city’s name altogether.

The description of the post read: “Columbus is an amazing city, but one whose name is tarnished by the very name itself. Its namesake, Christopher Columbus, is in The Bad Place because of all his raping, slave trading, and genocide. That’s not exactly a proud legacy”.

The petitioner also has a new name in mind – Flavourland.

I wonder if they might change the name of "Sinbad" to "Singood."

"Carlsbad Caverns" could be "Carlsgood Caverns."
