On Friday, she brought a goat mask with dynamite in its mouth and let other fans pose for photos wearing it outside Wrigley Field. She said she believes her lucky charms helped reverse the Curse of the Billy Goat, the story of a Chicago tavern owner who supposedly put a hex on the Cubs after the team refused to let his pet goat into Wrigley Field during the 1945 World Series.<br /><br />Earlier in the day, throngs of young and old blue-clad fans roared as the motorcade of open-roofed buses carrying the players cruised along Lake Shore Drive.

Parade routes had to be changed in D.C. and Boston to accommodate crowds that were bigger than expected. Estimates are that worldwide there might have been p to 2.5 million people marching today.<br /><br />The irony is that when the Cubs won the world series, way more, possibly twice as many people attended the celebration in Chicago.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-81481040882089259052017-01-21T19:29:57.327-05:002017-01-21T19:29:57.327-05:00.

It's been around long before Islam as indicated in Egyptian hieroglyphics. It's practiced by individual Christian, Jewish, Muslim and animistic groups mainly in Africa, the ME and Indonesia. The biggest practitioners of it in Iraq are the Kurds.<br /><br />The practice is based on ignorance, tradition, and millennia of misogyny; however, those pushing it most these days are the women within those societies that practice it.<br /><br />. <br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-86381074267385000002017-01-21T18:40:53.749-05:002017-01-21T18:40:53.749-05:00That's Trump's point.That's Trump's point.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-90385591209120589992017-01-21T18:20:08.432-05:002017-01-21T18:20:08.432-05:00One must wonder though, Robert "Draft Dodger&...One must wonder though, Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson, why you no longer advocate for US troops entering the fray, in Iraq.<br /><br />Could it be that those clit clipping Kurds you are so enamored with, they were able to defend themselves.
