  1. I'm just messing with you, Mrs. Whiggins. No offense intended.
  2. Yes, nothing is y'all's fault, ever. "I take no responsibility" - President Trump............. ................... .......................... ........................... ............................... ................ .............. ............................................. ........................................................................................................................................................................and Gen X'ers who basically voted in lockstep with Boomers most of their lives.
  3. This isn't hard at all to see next together, but for some reason I had to start a rewatch of Justified before I noticed that the kid from Europtrip and Agent Tim Gutterson were the same actor. He matured a lot in less than a decade. It probably speaks to his acting chops that he played such a different character in Eurotrip and Justified that I didn't recognize him the first time around. Either that or it speaks to how unobservant I am.
  4. I'm going to shoot straight with you. There's no way I'm seeking out and listening to some blowhard NRA TV/Fox News charlatan's podcast and giving him any views or my time. You can tell me in your own words if you'd like, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume like birtherism and Lock Her Up, it's round III of people like you swallowing and repeating nonsense from Trump's reoccurring election year media tour of bullshit and gaslighting.
  5. Is there a dead rabbit in these pics? I'm too distracted by all that bullshit St. Augustine.
  6. I get it, man. Mostly a rhetorical question. I think about that old cliche "If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet 100 assholes, you're probably the asshole." There has to be an equivalent I can't put eloquently for EMAW's tribe. "If you find a conspiracy in the world, you may have stumbled onto a conspiracy. If everyone and everything from experts to science to the laws of nature is part of a deep state conspiracy and cover-up to destroy your president, you may just be the crazy one covering for a grifting con-man and not in tune with reality." Unfortunately that doesn't quite roll off of the tongue so much.
  7. This thread and Fox News pisses me off far more than Trump or anything else in 2020 America. I've watched my parents, one of which is an English immigrant who had positive experiences growing up with the NHS, turn from moderate Republicans who despite their political affiliation supported universal healthcare in the 1980's and 1990's into fringe conspiracy theorist Trump supporters after 20+ years of a steady diet of daily Fox propaganda. It's depressing.
  8. A part of what? Why would anyone from Obama's administration need pardoning?
  9. I don't know who "she" is, but surely it's not the chick exploding out of her jeans in this pic.
  10. You should get the gang back together and hold another investigation. Maybe the 30th one will uncover something of substance.
  11. The Heartbreak Kid was an underappreciated comedy. I tend to stop and watch when I catch a rerun on TBS or somewhere.

    The Wire

    The first time I watched season 2 I didn't care much for it because I felt all of the Barksdale crew that I grew fond of took a bit of a backseat to these new characters. It's a bit of a shock. When I watched it again several years later I appreciated it much more, and I also noticed how Barksdale's crew wasn't nearly as neglected as I imagined the first time. They were still a much bigger part of the story line than I had remembered.
  13. That would be generous. Does HP graduation fall on a 50% off night?
  14. I'm not sure what year this old picture was taken in, but why do most of these presumably 18-22 year-olds already look like they're 45? Is it the dated hairstyles or the lifetime of 24/7 constant exposure to indoor second hand smoke? Maybe it's just a lifetime of living in Missouri.
  15. I never got bothered one way or the other for Mizzou when they were in the Big 12, but I remember them being the catalyst for all of the realignment shenanigans in 2010-2011 that led to the watered down version of the Big 12 we have today. The Big 10 couldn't even finish their sentence that they were planning to expand before Mizzou started jumping up and down screaming "Take me!!" Fuck 'em.
  16. You're upset there's not long threads every time someone gets murdered? Let's differentiate the circumstances between these two events. Your link involves a murder of an old white woman by a black man who worked for a cable company. The motive was robbery; she wasn't hunted down because of her race. Obviously that doesn't make it okay, and it is a tragedy to this woman and any family and friends of hers and something that shouldn't happen to anybody. The article is short on all the details, but it appears he was identified and arrested within a couple of days and charged with capital murder. Not exactly 12 pages worth of discussion there, but nobody ever stopped you from making a thread that probably would have seen some views and a few "T&P's" posted. Contrast that with this story. Now, we're talking about two white men who hunted down a guy who was simply jogging through a neighborhood when he was chased down in a vehicle and gunned down in murder. Possible flimsy motive that maybe he stopped and looked at a construction site, or there was a break-in in the neighborhood at some point with somebody who may have also been black. Actual motives seem to be racial. However, in this case it took over two months and this story becoming viral nationally before the men were arrested and charged. The original DA shrugged and looked away. That is worthy of discussion and why there is 12 pages on this. That is where the outrage comes from. If these men were arrested in February on site, there probably wouldn't be a thread. I'm also guessing that if there was a thread about the poor old Las Colinas woman who was murdered in your link, there wouldn't be a handful of posters saying, "Maybe we shouldn't rush to judgment before we see all of the facts or the video. Maybe he had a reason to murder and rob the old white lady." Selective hypocrisy is a thing. Hope this clears things up.
  17. "What we're fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy -- that has become a stronger impulse in American life." ______________________________________ "Wow. Looks like Barack HUSSEIN Obama II hasn't given up trying to be the most divisive human being to ever live and hold office." - Tahoe/Swam
  18. The quarantine episode is one of my all time favorites. The reveal of what was actually wrong with them and their decision to keep healthy by getting drunk again was classic Sunny.
  19. "Then who's vice president? Steve Harvey? I suppose Ellen DeGeneres is first lady. And Chris Hardwick is secretary of the treasury!"
  20. No, they don't. 99.999999999999999% of comics retire old material the second they drop a special. Comedy isn't music. Nobody goes to a comedy show to hear jokes they already know the punchline to.

  22. This might be a new level of unhinged, even for Trump. Is Kellyanne cool with that shade? And political first timer? Trump doesn't seem to ever bring up that he once sought the Reform Party nomination in 2000 running on universal healthcare. What a different world it would be if this regard had won 16 years earlier and somehow managed to establish M4A in this country.
  23. The first one was one of my favorite movies in 5th grade. I'd watch another one. We're only 12 years away from when the first movie took place. When do the franchise wars begin?
  24. "Mexico is sadly experiencing very big coronavirus problems..." I don't know much about what's going on in San Diego or southern California, but Mexico has had a little over 23,000 cases and 2,000 deaths. From what's been reported, they currently have it better than us in regards to COVID in just about every statistical way.
