As an older sister this really does smell of a “the smarter one yields” moment. I’ve heard that a million times when my parents asked me to give in, let my little sister have her will because she can scream louder. It didn’t exactly help her become a well adjusted adult but it’s easy parenting. 

Can we just hire Levar Burton and get it over with?

Bit of unrelated trivia: Racine, Wisconsin did indeed have a women’s team, and my mother was the youngest player on their farm team. She was an excellent athlete (I didn’t inherit that, but my sister did).

Inconvenient to some doesn’t mean access is unequal? Are you fucking kidding me? That’s exactly what it means! Holy shit! Why don’t you just come out and endorse actual apartheid laws, too, you motherfuckers! C’mon Alito...explain to us how Jim Crow really wasn’t so bad. When the fucking Supreme Court will not defend…

They’re only worried about election security in the (imaginary) situations where election insecurity benefits Democrats.

Brick to the Future?

I remember my 8th Grade Science teacher had one. About that time, he started dating my 8th Grade English teacher.

The DeTomaso Pantera actually swiped tail lights from a 1967-1971 Alfa Romeo Berlina. So the Bricklin Pantera tail lights are really Alfa tail lights.

Another fact: The town in South Jersey where I grew up (Pennsville) had a Oldsmobile-Cadillac-GMC dealership that also sold the Bricklin. They had six or seven in various colors at on the lot at one time.

Apparently, people that didn’t find Cats disturbing enough.

I grew up on a farm and during harvest one year, I was sitting across the street from the town Co-Op where a semi-truck tire was being inflated (off the truck, in a proper cage). They either didn’t set the pressure right on the compressor/gauge or it failed because the tire exploded, blowing out the plate-glass…

Wait, they sell mouse food?

Can you imagine these guy at a junkyard? “Best car show ever!”

Methuselah Jr. here: Would like to submit The Desperate Hours (1955!). Freddie March as a suburban dad (in the fifties, when that meant something) whose brittle domestic sanctuary gets invaded by escaped con Humphrey Bogart and his band of menacing shitheels. Class conflict, manhood in crisis. agonizing midlife…

I take a special delight in knowing that the recall Issa started in the hopes of getting into the governor’s mansion ended with him watching Arnold take it.

Researchers have suspected since the early 1990s that human sperm counts may have been on the decline, but a seminal study in 2017 really changed the conversation.

It’s primarily a sketch comedy show. Variety shows normally have other types of acts - dancing, magic, acrobats, ventriloquists etc. They’re also seen as embarrassingly old fashioned, which I’m suspect was what was underlying Joan’s word choice, so as to convey maximal contempt.

That whole bit about the neighbor packing up their hangar to move to Sedona because he can’t take seeing homeless people is like a straight up Christopher Guest character played by either Parker Posey or Catherine O’Hara or even Jennifer Coolidge.
