I’m a frequent flier colonoscopy-wise. I’m lucky to go a full year between scopes. I’m 40 years old, and have had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 colonoscopies.

Yes, this is an improvement, BUT it won’t improve the experience much for most people. Your colon still needs to be cleaned out, which means a couple days without food, and a major binge on industrial strength laxatives.

As a casual basketball fan who doesn’t live within spitting distance of the Atlantic Ocean, I’ve gotta admit that I often forget that the Wizards are an actual team. John Wall seems cool, though.

Pogo. Maybe it’s been gone to long to make it onto a list like this, but Pogo was it’s own kind of great.

We struggle to understand and quantify intelligence in animals that we’ve lived with for millennia. If we ever run into alien life, and recognize it as such, we’re going to be in for a real challenge.

I just assigned my 8th grade reading class “Alas Babylon”. We’ll almost certainly watch Dr. Strangelove after we finish the book. Then I’ll toss this article their direction. Hopefully it will help them see the relevance of all that to actual life on earth today.

Is that the reason? I guess it makes sense, in a weird way. Thanks for filling in the gaps for me, I was curious.

Probably best not to use blinking text for this particular warning box...

Damn! You’re right. How dare the government charge taxes to citizens in exchange for services! What an outrage!

In the meantime, bring on the bought-and-paid-for cabinet positions, conspiracy with a foreign government to influence a free election, massive unconstitutional conflicts of interest, attempted…

Oddly enough, I have personal experience dealing with this issue. I spent 4 months on bowel rest. I ate and drank nothing, and was given all of my nutrients by IV.

My orthodontist was Dr. Fear, and I know of a gynecologist named Dr. Broadhacker.

Exactly the sort of response I would expect from someone who lists their cognitive matter as their user name.

Bearing in mind how the whole blockade thing worked out, I’m pretty okay with this.

“Half the country agrees with him.”

Damn. I’m definitely gonna need some Gatorade, or something.

...and in 2003, filed for a trademark on “Compassionate Colonoscopy.”

I call dibs on the trademark for “Scope a Dope”.

This one starts on the trippy side, but when the full band hits it at about a minute, you’d have to be dead not to dance...

The reverb setting is identical. What’s showing up is the natural sustain of the instrument. The Martin is much more resonant, especially in the upper register. That’s one of the big reasons why the cheaper guitar seems to sometimes choke on a note, and the strings don’t respond with an equal level of volume.

I hate Messenger so much. Not that it’s a bad app- it works fine- but simply because it exists. Facebook messages should come through Facebook, an app that I already barely want to have installed.

It looks a *little* bit like a lasso, but it’s not the correct knot for either scenario. They don’t get to argue knot-semantics unless they actually have some demonstrable skill in knot tying.

I’m glad, and encouraged, to read this. I think he’s exactly right. Athletes, musicians, actors, and others in the public eye have a right and even a responsibility to speak up for good. I respect this statement 100 percent.
