  1. Fuck it, lets hang 50 on the dirt burglars.
  2. As a child, Brent Venables played under high voltage power lines
  3. when my daughter was little, she liked to play "Free Street." I would pretend to shop, and when I asked how much whatever I was buying cost, she would say somethingl along the lines of 'Daddy, everything is free on Free Street." And I would have to pretend to be amazed by such a thing. Then everytime we played, Free Street would get even crazier, and if I bought one car for free, I would get a second car for free also. Then it would escalate all the way up to I get a million dollars back in change. IIRC, she was about four years old at the time.
  4. did the DoTArD actually say something like that? 1400% cheaper?
  5. I think the first class people boarded with everyone else. Or if they had their own entrance/boarding door, then at least one large family got fucked. Once you get to your seats, its fine. Its just getting through the tight, smelly, hot logjam to get to your seats that fucking sucks. And you're having to deal with luggage also. However, only rode it once in my life, so maybe I was just unlucky that day. Also, it was early July, so tourist season.
  6. The India comparison is perfect, but there is assigned seating. Maybe they also sell standing room tickets, I don't know. People camp out on the stairs with no fucks given that they are blocking access to the upper level seats. Conductors were mia or didn't give a shit. I told the kid and wife to stay close and just stomped through and over them. I'm sitting in a seat I paid for by gawd, not squatting in the stairs like im on a chicken bus. Id rather fly spirit than go through that again.
  7. Just horribly crowded. A complete mosh pit getting on then having to fight your way through hot stinking crowds to get to your seat. People sitting in the stairwell blocking access, standing around in the drink car because they couldn't get to their seats, etc. This was in the summer so it was the busy season I guess.
  8. Yeah when we went a few years ago , I would start out in French with my drawl and they would quickly switch to English. Generally they seemed to appreciate the effort. Outside of Paris they were a little more snobbish about it but not too bad. Germans were a lot worse and I don't speak any German. Last bit of general advice to anybody going to France:Do NOT ride the TGV.
  9. How far did he have to ride that sub, even at periscope depth? I don't specifically remember from the movie, but seems a little (or very) improbable. Even as a kid, seemed like a major plot hole. Agree on your first point
  10. I lived at dobie my freshman year on the 16th floor. I'd get on elevator and every fucking floor would be pushed on an empty elevator Rage inducing
  11. When something is snail mailed across town in my small town it gets sent to a distribution center in a city 200 hundred miles away
  12. Just finished First in a planned trilogy by The Expanse writers. Not as good as The Expanse series, kind of out there. But I'll probably read the entire trilogy when it comes out.
  13. and try not to get stabbed or steal any cars grease trucks on the way.
  14. Let he who hasn't gotten hammered in Indianapolis and tried to steal a car cast the first stone.
  15. My go to late night I've-got-the-munchies snack is Cookies and Cream ice cream with fresh strawberries, so I might have to try this.
  16. probably just cutting through the produce section to get to the soda aisle
  17. Ice fishing is thirsty work
  18. No, you're both-siding this bullshit.
  19. I looked it up and I was thinking of the story "Graveyard Shift," about the giant rats in the basement of an old mill in that collection.
  20. Is that based on the Stephen king short story of the same name?
  21. Binged all for episodes of Adolescence last night. Really good. Last episode was hard to watch.
  22. Jesus guys it's just a bobcat, one of the good guys. Move, lol.
  23. My theory on Feds is they're like mushrooms. Keep em in the dark and feed em shit.
  24. Honestly, sports were ruined before MAGA came along. Video review ruined sports a long time ago, and I blame ESPN and network TV for that.
