Dear Legal BlueSky: It will be my mission, in part, to convert you into becoming a fan of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

If you are #Spurscurious, welcome!

If not, also welcome, but may I suggest muting the following words: Spurs, Tottenham, COYS, Ange, and Sonny.

It's tiny and much lower ranked? And this is a nothing match. If I was forced to sing it, I'd save 'God Save The King' for beating Germany or France in a final or semifinal.

I mean...it's 'Latvia'.

I just can't with the "God Save The King" singing, I'm sorry, English friends.

Look, I sympathize. But this isn't about hurt feelings or crass politics. Your government launched an unprovoked and irrational trade war against us. We're the innocent victims here!

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Fortunately it was the Costco parking lot so you blended right in.

I’m just glad I know you when you are out there hustling for your pod, before you get huge and no longer acknowledge the rest of us.
