Yeah man you haven't lived til you've had an animals two-foot long purple tongue come reaching through some bars and grab you by the wrist! Aye-yai-yai!

am I the only one who likes to fantasize about doing something like this? I was 60 years old before I discovered stealth camping was so popular on youtube...

10 bucks says that as soon as her political career goes tit's-up, she goes tit's-out on OF...

A trump admitting they were wrong? no fucking way...

When my wife was pregnant with our first-born, my mother went with her to her first ultrasound appointment. To add a little back-story, I had a baby brother who was born when I was about 4 (1967). He had multiple birth defects and so many things wrong that he only lived 16 days. Needless to say, this affected my mom deeply. My wife told me that my mom cried while seeing her soon-to-be grandson on the screen and told her that if that technology had been available when she was pregnant with my brother that she would have terminated the pregnancy without a second thought. When I think of the pain and depression she lived with for pretty much the rest of her life, and then think about how the repukelican party want's to force other women to go through that same agony too just makes me want to start hurling molotov cocktails into a trump rally...

My son had this incredibly bright flashlight, and one evening he shined it out into the yard and claimed that all the little sparkles we were seeing in the grass were spiders looking back at us. I disagreed and told him they were reflections from dew drops. To prove his point, we agreed on a particularly bright sparkle, and approached it keeping the light on it. Sure enough, there was a spider sitting there looking back up at us. We then proceeded to find about a dozen more. I was totally surprised that every one we honed in on turned out to be another spider.

I'm confused... shouldn't this be happening in one of those liberal nanny states where big government is supposed to be all up in your business?

Oh, right... those people need to tell you how to raise YOUR kids, but don't you dare tell them how to raise theirs...

IMO, becoming a bible salesman is like the most stereotypical con-man gig...

it'd be nice to hear the NYT got to stick her with their legal bills...

I'm thinking the manufacturer doesn't understand how cats prefer to lay on them.

I used to know a guy named Ed back in the early-mid '80's who was a professional college student. We were both attending the local junior college. I was about 19 or 20, he was about 30. He was tall, had long straight dark hair and a full, fairly long beard with a fairly prominent hawk nose. One day, his parents finally got tired of him avoiding adulthood and declared they were no longer going to support him and he had to get a job. He showed up to classes with a short hair cut and no beard. We all had to do a double-take. He seriously had no chin, and combined with that big hawk nose, his profile had become so comically different from what it had been that everyone who knew him was noticeably shocked by the transformation. He went from having a long profile with a prominent nose to a little round head with a huge beak sticking out. He went from a moderately imposing figure to a sadly goofy looking character just like that. I watched a couple of different people just kind of blurt out stuff like "eww grow it back!" etc. It was crazy to see how everyone's perception of him changed overnight...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that they got the intelligence through a channel they were already monitoring, and Obama decided to sit on it specifically to avoid the appearance of exactly this.

I've been fighting lung cancer for the last 2 1/2 years, and when I was first diagnosed, the insurance company doctor rejected the SABR radiation that my radiation and medical oncologists were both recommending. To hear my rad doc describing the argument he had with them was unreal. I was already stressed out enough without having to deal with that bullshit too.

feral? more like fecal philosopher...

by 2029 he'll be a trillionaire 2 or three times over and the rest of us will be fighting over scraps.

She's Generation Jones. So am I (b. 1963)

Damn, they even have her picture on the page 😆

Generation Jones is noted for coming of age after a huge swath of their older siblings in the earlier portion of the Baby Boomer population; thus, many note that there was a paucity of resources and privileges available to them that were seemingly abundant to older Boomers. Therefore, there is a certain level of bitterness and "jonesing" for the level of doting and affluence granted to older Boomers but denied to them

I had an earth science teacher that would let us bring in one 3X5 card of notes for our tests, and I would spend an hour or so transcribing all my notes into small print front and back, then go in and ace the test without ever needing them. Just recopying it all was enough.

Florida voter here... I stood in line for about 45 minutes today for early voting. Women outnumbered men by at least 8 to 1 while I was there, which I found a bit encouraging. I enjoyed being able to vote against Matt Gaetz, and I only wish DeStains was on the ballot too so I coulda voted against his dumb-ass as well...

Just yesterday we were at my wife's sister's house. They live in a brand-new house in a brand-new neighborhood. Some dingus was going around to every single house leaving flyers advertising a tree trimming service and reminding everyone that it's hurricane season. The thing is, their wasn't a single tree in the entire neighborhood that was bigger than a year-old sapling.

or in other words...

"fake it 'til you make it"
