Has it started snowing in Hell? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Just curious when baseball teams from outside the US will be allowed to compete...otherwise it just doesn't seem right to call it the World series.

As soon as they can agree on the rules and the US teams aren't budging on making the rest of the world play by our rules.

The first change they will have to make is to call it by it's proper name: "softball".

Have you not seen how many players are from the Dominican Republic?

The apocalypse is indeed upon us. The amount of fireworks that went off last night was impressive (yes, I live in Chicago).

I bet the celebration in Wrigleyville is still going strong. It's cool that you live in ChiTown. I lived up in Lake County from 2006 to 2010. I kind of miss listening to Wiil Rock (95.1 FM) in the car as it was better then anything I can get on the radio where I live now.

A bunch of my buddies were still going strong in the wee hours, haven't heard from them in a while though. Wiil, the only station I listen to when I'm up, say, past Gurnee. And yeah, the radio down here completely sucks. I'm a bit of a Luddite about some things, so I have 100+ CD's in the car.

Back to the Future 2 predicted the Cubs would win the World Series in 2015.
The space-time continuum was disrupted by the 1994 baseball strike causing the alternate reality where the Cubs won in 2016 and not 2015.
 HEAVY!!  
Then, again, was it a prediction or a curse?!

I'll go have a stern word with myself about this one...

Pluralise is correct English. Pluralize, as is commonly the case, is a US bastardisation of English.

If the English knew how to speak and spell properly, we would have never left. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Since the language is not known I can only assume an untyped or weakly typed language and startupFailure might be true for an unbelievable amount of values. You're just putting that right with your assignment (again assuming true is a boolean literal).
Nothing weird to see here, run along!

Ah. Here's my version:

DoSomething();

{
DoSomethingElse();
}

It just made me think of a new pattern: the Failure Swallowing pattern (a behavioural one).
bool failure;
try {
}
catch {
failure = false;
}
finally {
failure = false;
}
if (failure) {
failure = false;
}
And here is it; you will never see any error anymore.
