  1. So, basically exactly what a high school dude might try to pull off?
  2. It's not about punishment of the man. That's not the company's business. Their business is protecting their employees from harassment. This employee is a proven harasser. The company also has a right to protect their brand. Keeping her on sullies the brand. If the lady can show that they have kept non-whites or non-females on who have engaged in similar conduct, then she's got a nice discrimination case. I'm assuming that's going to be really hard to do.
  3. Doesn't matter if Templeton was damaged by the event or not. They have the right to fire idiots, especially racial idiots, for what they do off site. That being said, if it had happened to us, we would have given the employee due process. I.e., called her in for a meeting, and asked her to tell her side of the story and provide any info she wanted. And then, barring some issue of mistaken identity/employee on ADA accommodation with prescription drugs going haywire, etc., we'd fire her. For sure. Because she harasses black people 0-- some of whom work for us. That's against our Code of Business Conduct. If they just termed based on the video and didn't give her a chance to explain, well, a factfinder might not like that. So the case may have some value.
  4. What a game. I'm still the only guy I know who roots for USA number one, but has Mexico as his second favorite team. Chalk it up to being really old.
  5. Note, none of these are Allen West. The are more Mexican, Seminole, Texan, and Negro than he is.
  6. So increase our skill and yell more?
  7. Not sure what this means. Texas beat the Comanche with technology, particularly the Sharpe's Rifle.
  8. When GHWBush called him "the little brown one" he really meant the little brown pinche turd.
  9. I bet if I wasn't a midget and had roundball skills, I could have been a beloved member of a basketball team.
  10. Dominick and Eugene Birdy Madness of King George
  11. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Lars and the Real Girl Silver Linings Playbook Fucking lighthouse movie with Willem but that sucked.
  12. From wiki: Since the highly successful re-release of the film in the 1980s, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp has been re-evaluated.[21] The film is praised for its dazzling Technicolor cinematography (which, with later films such as The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus, would arguably become The Archers' greatest legacy), the performances by the lead actors as well as for transforming, in Roger Ebert's words, "a blustering, pigheaded caricature into one of the most loved of all movie characters".[22]David Mamet has written: "My idea of perfection is Roger Livesey (my favorite actor) in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (my favorite film) about to fight Anton Walbrook (my other favorite actor)."[23]Stephen Fry saw the film as addressing "what it means to be English", and praised it for the bravery of taking a "longer view of history" in 1943.[24]Anthony Lane of the New Yorker said in 1995 that the film "may be the greatest English film ever made, not least because it looks so closely at the incurable condition of being English".[25]
  13. Goddamn I love this movie, and I love Roger Livesey and Deborah Kerr and Anton Walbrook. Stumbled upon it on Amazon P. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) Powell and Pressburger, sort of like John Ford and Jean Renoir, capture so much of the damn joy of living in their movies. And no one is more old school British. What I love about their movies is that they are so artful but they don't let the art get in the way of the story or the sheer likeability of the characters. I noticed something really interesting that I wouldn't have noticed when I watched when I was younger. In one of the opening scenes, when Livesay is giving his "The war doesn't start until midnight!" speech, when he points out that the young soldier hasn't lived yet, the soldier tells him that he hopes that "forty years form now, in 1983..." It hit like a ton of bricks, because now I'm the old guy, almost 40 years beyond being a young man which I was, in 1983. This is a movie about manners and friendship, and it's pace is slow, but every damn minute is great from the opening credits and goofy motorcycle scene. And I'm only an hour in on this 2nd full viewing.
  14. I haven't heard of anything particularly problematic. I'm sure there was some freakout. Lake Highlands can be a bit religious wingnut but the high school itself has teen pregnancy issues. I bet the entire faculty supported Ms. Smith and if there was anyone wanting to punish her, I think they are probably getting silenced themselves. Well see.
  15. Just read about this today. Lake Highlands!
  16. 3-0 today. Texas, Stanford and DBU!
  17. Fuck this retarded fuckwit. That's all the internet mention this asshole warrants.
  18. I find there's a bigger issue with the 50ish Republican scumbag senators.
  19. Wonder Wheel (2017) I thought this was one of Woody Allen's better recent efforts, but it all may be due to Kate Winslet and the other actors. Goddamn Woody can't help himself. Troubled woman has to have a migraine, and has to whine like Woody. This reminded me vaguely of Blue Jasmine, and you can imagine Woody Allen telling Kate to act more fucked up like Cate Blanchet in that movie. Solid effort, even Jim Belushi wasn't bad, but the good acting doesn't quite salvage it.
  20. Maybe if he had Gilbert Gottfried's delivery he'd be less off-putting.
  21. I guess mathematically he must have peaked. Could never deal with the guy.
