It’s the ones who fly both the Confederate flag *and* the US flag at the same time that you have to wonder about.

But we’re the world’s *wealthiest* Third World state, so... U-S-A, U-S-A?

The cops must have bought that poor kid SO much fast food afterwards to soothe his poor, hurt fee fees.

Up there with the Kegelcizer in Futurama.

I worked the overnight shift at a little one over a few college breaks back in the early 90s (gas was less than $1/gal, to give context - and there was no store, just me in a small booth with snacks and cigarettes). This was before magnetic stripe readers, so we had to use those big “ka-chunk” imprint machines when…

That’s a bit of a schlep.

That they know of. I wonder if animals have been going missing in her neighborhood.

Have wealthy parents with connections. Duh.

You also want to brush some melted butter on top before the go into the oven, and again once they come out. The first application gives you better browning, and the second application gets instantly soaked up by the top.

>a policy that protects and serves. So why are police so upset about it?

And the person “voted off” each week is actually cooked and eaten by the judges.

I’ve heard some podcasts with people who say “arright” every single fucking time they pause. It’s so damned annoying. Maybe it’s a regionalism.

Phil Tippet designed a stop-motion puppeteering system for the dragon in the movie Dragonslayer that moved the model while the camera shutter was open, creating motion blur naturally. Without this idiotic soap opera look. And that was back in 1981.

Walmart is basically where people go to act out in real life how they behave on the internet.

Lain and Big O both had the same scriptwriter, BTW.

Speaking as the guy who translated both Lain and SAC, you have it backwards. I did the sub translation first, and the dub script was made from that. That’s how it’s always done. I guess it’s possible that some compilation rereleases that are on store shelves these days repurpose the closed captioning track from the TV …

Good luck finding either season with the original soundtracks, though. Both opening themes were lawyered out of existence (the first was ... let’s say an homage to Queen’s Flash Gordon theme, and the second was pretty much identical to that of an old Gerry Anderson show called UFO), as were a few incidental music cues…

I had to fast-forward through any scenes that Bishop was in because every time I see/hear him, I want to smash his hipster head in with a brick. The visceral hatred is instant. I haven’t had that reaction since those Dr. Squatch Soap ads on Youtube with the equally punchable hipster.

I also like “in testing, this new CPU returned respectful results” (instead of respectable).

It’s a thing. All of these are the result of people not reading books. They’ve never seen the words in print (I mean actual edited, published material, not internet posts), so they just repeat what they think they heard. It’s the telephone game in action.
