I always heard he was a Moore, so definitely African. The whole Zwarte Piet thing is pretty gross, much as I love many, many other things about the Dutch and the Netherlands. A similar phenomenon happens here in Germany if you discuss the German fascination with Native Americans and suggest that maybe it’s not super…

He should really consider getting the band back together for a follow-up. I for one would buy the hell out of it, and I don’t even use P90X anymore.

My question is what the situation is with the 2016 models. I special ordered a 2016 Golf TDI just before all of this shit hit the fan, theoretically for delivery in February when I move back to the States. I’m still willing to take the car, potentially, but I’m not at all convinced that the stop-sale orders will be…

Oh, God, P90X is the best-worst workout ever. A group of us at my last post used to get together periodically to do P90X, and we would come up with all of these silly backstories for the various assistants. And Tony Horton is such a douche, but credit where due, the workouts are effective.

You... know the comment to which you were responding was two years old, right?

Alas I’m in Germany (well, not too “alas,” since Germany’s pretty great), so Congress Street is a bit of a commute!

Yep, I have their sateen sheets, and also a set of their flannel sheets. They’re not cheap, but they really are fantastic. They get really nice and soft after a couple of washings. I want to get a set of the percale for summer at some point.

I adore my Bean boots. I wore them to do railroad work for an entire winter and have been wearing them every winter since, and they still look almost new.

This is a brilliant idea. If I were home right now I would one hundred percent start trolling the Goodwill in Biddeford or wherever.

I have no idea, but I want to try it. I’m thinking the barbecue could be off the chain.

Thumbs up for Pennsylvania and Pittsburg!

The good news is that it doesn’t matter. Once someone gets their visa and green card, Charlie Baker can do exactly nothing to keep them from moving wherever the hell they want, Massachusetts included. So neener, neener to him.

You’d elected a certifiable fucking moron for a President. His utter incompetence was all anyone could talk about.

Sure, why not? So long as they don’t mind bunking with a Syrian. I feel like my apartment would become an instant culinary powerhouse, if nothing else.

I’ll just leave this here:

Honestly, there are days I’m glad no one pays attention, because otherwise I’d spend all of my free time trying to explain that douchecanoe. I love being a Mainer, but damn, he does try my state pride.

Christ. With loony LePage at the helm, it’s only a matter of time before Maine follows suit. Disgusting. Not that this has any actual impact on anything, since once any immigrant lands in the US, they’re pretty much free to go wherever they please. It’s not like we bring them to Ellis Island and chain them to a…

Yeah, well, fuck them. They have exactly zero power to enforce any of this rhetoric. Unless these states are planning on seceding (in which case, good fucking riddance) or sealing their borders and refusing to allow anyone in or out, regardless of nationality, they can’t keep refugees or anyone else from settling…

I’d say that particular moment of realization came right about when Holm ducked that clinch. The knockout is great and all, but that was fucking amazing to watch. I’ve watched it about six times on YouTube already.

No, but I would think there are definite similarities between there and where I was studying.
