#wangle
Many years ago, my dog Max shook himself in the front entranceway after I wiped his paws. This action made a funny noise that my sister instantly dubbed a "wangle dangle" and now I think of that goofy phrase every time he does it.

Venizelos installed Constantine’s son Alexander as a puppet king, and did all the actual ruling himself. He’d wanted to get into WWI in order to expand more into the Balkans and Asia Minor, and managed to wangle himself a chunk of the Ottoman Empire in the post-war peace conferences

I will!

N1 (National) is the highest youth level, but they played 4 games against 3 N1 teams in pre-season tournaments and won 3 of them. If he wasn’t planning on trade school, he could probably wangle a full-ride scholarship for college.

You should have seen his one-handed saves this weekend!

Was genuinely looking at if i could wangle it for my 50th, as id probably need to tag a nice holiday for Min and Oz on to it

No, it's a matter of resource allocation. Sure we could impeach. But we couldn't convict in the Senate unless we have a minimum of say 55 Dems, then maybe we could wangle five Republicans to convict - otherwise, she's right - the votes aren't there - and why waste all that time & effort & energy

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh in tone, but I really do think it is classically bad practice to insist that your theory knows better than the data. It's bad to build confirmation bias into your data analysis. It's not a clever wangle, it's bad science.

That’s fair, although they could behave in the same fashion absent a pardon, too, and maybe wangle a pardon out of that experience. Or assert some privilege (deliberative, executive, what have you). Lots of possibilities!

Gonna do something different. Going to run some old-school Pathfinder, but I’m going to run it with Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying to see how conversion goes.

Why? Way easier to run a solo game and wangle multiple characters this way.

“Thank Gaia for that —“ he comments, relieved that it is working, before finally acknowledging both the girls in his life.

Of course Dark Nation managed to wangle a treat from Aerith. With it, she goes to lay with it upon the faux fur rug in front of the fire, really living her best life right now.

Great idea - thank you! My dad had two yesterday, one of whom managed to wangle a meeting tomorrow. Dad didn't take any details, so I can't cancel it!! I'm now having to take an unexpected day off work and do a 5-hour round trip to attend the meeting just to tell them to get lost. Absolute vultures.

The recipe for the cake that knocked me off my breakfast routine is the one that got away. I should have tried to wangle it after the first time I had it. Or

I know Bridge Cafe well.

Never tried O'Reilly's but I used to teach one of the daughters. Might be able to wangle a deal. 😉

Takeaway sandwiches wise, I go to Christoph's on Idle Road/Pelham Road.

If you were up all night wondering, I didn’t buy the Mokka. I didn’t like the back of it or the dashboard area. I’ve bought another Juke. Managed to wangle quite a lot of money off it. 🥳

doing a lecture at the end of November on Reality and Reality TV... and wondering if I can wangle it to a field trip to the cinema to see You Can See Everything

100%. This was true when the SM was created in 1993, with 4 freedoms and enthusiastic UK support. Burnham will hopefully stop pandering to xenophobes and stop trying to wangle an impossible "bespoke deal". After a decade it's pretty embarrassing.

Latvia has yet to wangle the choosing because they're reendowing Chadwick Boseman in Month. #HurdlerUpsurging

Fuck sake. They're definitely unethical even if they do find a way to wangle the charges. Who gives a shit what theyve invested if it's illegal? Be sensible. If this is Manchesterism it can fuck off as far as Gary Neville or Bernard Manning

You sound like my mum. My first flight was at an airshow in a small twin engine aircraft. The seat beside the pilot was for a passenger and I managed to wangle it. She was sitting behind him and he was pointing out things to me. She said to him “put both hands on the steering wheel please”

And the weblogs that get tangled as you willy and you wangle
When you walk up in Seattle, where you fought the nascent battle
You threw the thread and throttle, let us raise another bottle
Raise another bottle, raise another bottle
