High-speed rail

I wasn’t an especially savvy kid in the 80’s, but I remember thinking how laughable this was, even when it was proposed back then.

So like…yeah. No shit it didn’t.

Classic “we have investigated ourselves, and admit to no evidence of wrongdoing”

I’m doing MY part!

HELL YEAH, MF'ER! THE PACK DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE - UNLESS YOU'RE A BIGOT OR A RACIST, THAT IS!

AROOOOO!

Real patriots

A million for 21 years of your life? Ridiculous.

I hated him in the first couple of episodes too; but when TNG started, I felt like everything was overly dramatic. Picard bellowing out heavy-handed soliloquies, Worf growling and gnashing his teeth, Riker swaggering around pretending to be Kirk from the old days… things settle down pretty quickly though, and the characters become less two-dimensional.

As for Q specifically, he’s not around a whole lot, but he makes an appearance or two per season maybe. He ends up more curious about humanity than being adversarial against humanity, but he still sometimes just throws a monkey-wrench into everything for his own amusement or to test a theory, once in a while.

Stick with it, it’s a really good show.

When someone tells you who they are, you should listen.

Fourth degree criminal mischief… it’s a slap on the wrist. If someone had beheaded an effigy of Jesus, they’d be throwing the whole entire book at them. Rules for thee but not for me…

We finally get to ride the train? That’s awesome!

Looks fun to me!

I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.

But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.

Sure… because after spending $365 a ticket and another $85 in online “convenience fees”, I want to go stand around in the concourse for areas of watching the game.

Lemming > Chihuahua > Honey Badger

Just angrier and angrier all the way through

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

HERE’S THE BLESSING MY OLD MAM USED TO PUT ME IN BED WITH, WHICH I OFFER TO YOU HARD-CRANKING MF’ERS:

MAY THE ROAD RISE UP TO MEET YOUR HOG, MAY THE WIND ALWAYS BE AT YOUR MF’IN BACK. MAY THE SUN SHINE WARM ON YOUR GRINNING SKULL, AND MAY THE RAINS FALL LIKE BOMBS ON THE FIELDS OF YOUR ENEMIES!

AND MAY YOU CRANK YOUR HOG THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD!

Beans had a resurgence a few weeks ago, and there was also a big surge of posts about beef stroganoff or something, but it all seems to have died down again for the moment.

I read that the reason dogs don’t like the vacuum, is that it looks like it’s yanking you around against your will, which upsets the sense of who’s in charge.

The suggestion was that in order to put your dog’s mind at ease, you should drag your vacuum into the living room, loom menacingly over it, and give it a good yelling-at… and that this would somehow make your dog more calm around it.

Personally, I think it would make the dog LESS calm, considering that not only does it have to endure the vacuum, but that there’s also some complex psychological drama between mom and the Electrolux, which Poochie can see but not understand.

HELL YEAH, BROTHERS (AND SISTERS, AND OTHERS)!!!

FLIP THAT SWITCH TO ‘CRANKED’ AND THEN RIP IT RIGHT OFF! AROOO!
