I’m guessing he made the same mistake as almost every idiot suburbanite and country boy makes when they consider “downtown” to mean anything within the borders of a city.

I disagree. “nuculur” is a mispronunciation. “they’re/their/there” is spelling and/or grammar.

I know I am old and my mind could be playing tricks on me, but as I recall Elway did the same to the Baltimore Colts once upon a time and they left shortly thereafter. So there is precedent. I think we need another sample to test the hypothesis.

Don’t underestimate how much the 1% has designed their built environment so that they never have to mingle or even see, or be seen by, the other 99%. I know dick about the construction of Heinz field, but I’d bet my last doughnut that a private elevator takes people straight from limo/ambo parking to the owner’s suite…

There is a wonderful joke about a new priest who enjoyed feasting and general merriment after taking his vows and looked down at the opulence before him replied, “Wow, if this is poverty, I can’t wait for chastity.”

Love that joke.

Seriously. After reading Drew for a couple of years I was beginning to think I was the last adult who knew how to not shit himself.

Absolutely a stretch but since passing a forged note is part of the larger transaction, it probably could be tacked on by someone wanted to pile on the charges to encourage a plea.

My guess is they compared the receipt (which contains the courtesy card number, date, time, and register) with the video camera that is undoubtedly trained on the register and also produces footage that is time and date stamped and when the cashier watched the 5 minutes of footage that comprised this transaction they…

It might fall under a strict definition of “mail fraud.” It would be a minor infraction, to say the least, but it might actually be illegal. And it’s stuff like this that leads some criminal justice experts to claim all Americans commit at least three felonies a day.

There’s Zinke the bad Fly Fisher.

Exactly. If he had a record of winning, championships, and turning programs around they would have had no trouble swallowing their moral outrage over that other stuff.

Right? Because Robert Altman made lots of genre movies while stretching those genres beyond recognition. McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a western, after all and The Delinquents is a basic 1950's teen drama, The Long Goodbye is an updated film noir, The Gingerbread Man is a legal thriller, etc etc.
Popeye is surprising as a…

Did you ever notice Popeye and McCabe & Mrs. Miller start out exactly the same way. In both a stranger comes into town mumbling to himself and enters a bar. I know that sounds pretty generic, but the similarities are striking when you watch them side-by-side.

Of course he’s rich. But the guy used to be the comedy king. Now I envision wasting away in his Xanadu-esque mansion clutching a snow globe with Wayne and Garth inside whispering “Cassandra...” quietly to himself.

So what the hell every happened to Mike Meyers anyway? Love Guru was a turd, but was it a career ending turd? From his IMDB page he’s done little in almost ten years that didn’t have the word “Shrek” in it. He’s playing a character in a Gong Show reboot? Jeebus! Poor guy.

I think that makes them “confirmed” bachelors, not courtly.

Honest question, though. Was it Jimmy Carter who actually enforced the boycott or did he call for it and the USOC agreed with him and said they would boycott? Since that was protesting an actual invasion at the height of the Cold War, I don’t think there was much room for the USOC NOT to back Carter’s play if they had…

The Thin Man movies had no thin man in them after the first movie, since the titular thin man was the victim in the mystery. And the Pink Panther movies ceased being about the Pink Panther diamond at the heart of the first movie.

I invested all my dough in StanleyNickels.

And of course, this is the worst part of Schiano’s return. The return of Schaino Man jokes. Just when I thought we’d seen the last of them.
