My favorite teddy bear when I was little, was named Dick Davis Stock Market. Because there was a financial segment on the local news when I was a kid hosted by... Dick Davis (who is Dick Davis? I have no idea). I had Dick Davis Stock Market, or Stockie for short, until Hurricane Katrina washed him away. My parents…

I would bet that the debates will be: 1. In a state where public nursing is not protected and 2. In Utah. Because of maximum heterogeneity and white-dudeness.

Maybe Mugabe could eat HIM for his next birthday?

Double Creature's just trolling us, right? WTF?

I think her pioneering days consisted exclusively of blaming women for not doing it (whatever it happened to be) right. Who the hell EVER thought this woman was the zeitgeist of feminism? Blech.

I recently treated myself to the big single volume of the Merlin Trilogy (I try not to even think about the fourth book - sort of like Douglas Adams’ Mostly Harmless). Unfortunately the type is so small I can barely read the stupid thing. I guess that’s the difference between me at 12 and me now - failing eyesight!

That and his beautiful pronunciation: Ouchwich

And Philadelphia, MS, no less. That bodes well. *sob*

You beat me to it. After season 7? Forget about it.

I've always suspected that the rapture crew would very much like it if Israel would just get blowed up already, so that jeebus can come back earlier than previously scheduled. Letting Iran develop nuclear weapons would be a dandy way to accomplish that. Alternately the US going over there and bombing the shit out of…

Ya’ll are totally forgetting about Dr. Renee Richards, who sued US Tennis Association to be allowed to play as a woman after 1975 reassignment surgery, and won. She was an amazing champion for transsexual rights from the athletic community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9…

His dad was a decorated officer in the reboot, in TOS he owned a horse farm where his sons were raised. He may have ALSO been a decorated officer, I don’t honestly know. And let’s face it, Cruz is talking about TOS because the reboots aren’t macho enough for him. Obviously he’s a Princeton/Harvard graduate who thinks…

Wasn’t Kirk raised on a horse ranch? That his family owned? So yes, he actually did work, but literally no different than Picard, who was raised in a vineyard that his family owned. Yeesh.

Sure. Yell at the parents. Don’t yell at the kids. You’re sure not going to get any satisfaction from that approach (other than the “I kick barking dogs” variety).

But seriously, I NEVER friend my students, and I teach in graduate school, not 101 level classes!

I'm guessing performance art. Or senility.

...found that the rate of domestic abuse arrests among MMA fighters was more than three times higher than that of NFL players.

Double Creature: WTF? Go home Double Creature, you're drunk.

Looking at houses for sale last year, and one of them had books arranged by color. It was kind of pretty in a House Beautiful sort of way, but how the hell would you ever find anything? I'm not a fan of using books as part of your decorating scheme.

Thank you fellow geek. I'm personally concerned about how they will survive the increased oxygen.
