Showa (昭和) literally means “shinning Japan.”

It’s more than just a lopsided bracket. Tomorrow’s loser has to travel significantly less between now and the finals (should they make it that far).

??? Maybe I’m missing the joke, but it’s the first sentence:

Right. Even more annoying is that they STILL feel obligated to play music. I tried to take my mom to a bingo night at a local burger place that makes GREAT food — but between the conversation reverberating off the walls and the indie rock they had blaring on top of it, neither of us could hear the announcer calling…

One big red flag for me is when a product has hundreds of reviews, and you look back to the oldest and it was written 2 weeks ago.

Well, for this particular one it’s just cropped. Further down in the article it shows that Modra captured two excellent images. In one, he’s just ahead of the other runners. In the other, he’s far enough ahead that you can crop out everyone else. That’s the one they chose for the cover.

McCain could have killed this on Monday, but he didn’t. So hey...good on him. But if this was some elaborate fuck you to McConnell that he took on his own then he put a LOT of Americans on the edge of their seats for it.

I hate that you and so many people decide that people have to prove their heritage and ethnicity with a paper trail and participation points. Fuck that.  

The hand-to-mouth, doing it out of desperation thing is certainly still true — but I suspect that pertains more to bush meat poaching.

Then you also missed the part in the report where the woman refused to hand it over and started arguing instead. Yes, she is partly to blame.

I mean, it’s true. Google “phreaking” or “Matthew Weigman.” Landlines connect to other numbers using a series of tones. So if a home has two landlines, and for whatever reason the previous owner decided to just use one and didn’t do a good job securing the abandoned phone line wires — it’s possible the wire was coming…

I know this is an older thread, but there are links to it from the scary story contest winner pages.

This is mine! It’s the only foundation I ever use, although I’m reading through here and wondering if I should try branching out.

I’d like to try this - but I have no idea which tint would work for me.

I’m not sure about the U.S. - but it definitely took effect in Canada. They have all the Marvel movies, Pixar movies, The Force Awakens, etc. Overall, their movie collection is stellar compared to what’s available in the U.S. - even titles outside of Disney.

I’m not! I don’t comment very often, though.

That — or, the complaining neighbors are persistent and people signed it to get them to go away and stop bugging them.

Whoever this Andy guy is, I want to buy him a beer.
