I don't think Lions have roamed Detroit for 10,000 years, either. They should be the Detroit Striking Auto Workers if they want a realistic and intimidating name.

If someone put a bank at the corner of Fifth and Third...that town must have a street grid that is diagonal, circular, and disappears into itself...

Oh yeah, I only care about baseball when the Royals are kicking ass.

The last time I cared about NBA basketball, Jordan and the Bulls had that series against the Stockton/Malone Utah Jazz. So that was Jr High or High school.

The one that makes me cringe every time I see it is "B.A.S.S." You talk about being redundant. You'd think they could come up with something a little more relevant.

No need to get hostile to union workers. Unions built our middle class society.

In what world does 'translate' mean change each and every word to a different language?

It generally means, unifying a phrase under a common, usually new, language. If parts of the phrase are already in said language, they remain unaltered.
