They're assholes but probably not bad enough for masked vigilantes to hunt them down. That's reserved for people who drive slow in the fast lane or get over without looking.

Yes and apparently my attempt at that dry, British humor is a failure. Not surprising for an American. Me, I mean. I have no idea where you're from.

Cleese's career has had its ups and downs but neither villain nor hero are an accurate description of it at any point. Either that or your bar for heroes and villains is very low. Like the person who returns a shopping cart to a corral is a hero and those who leave them scattered in the parking lot are villains. That…

That's better, much appreciated. There's plenty of accurate insults for Clarkson. Might I suggest boorish or churlish?

I think it’ll be like us and the Romans where the largest amount of surviving material is myth passed off as history, wild speculation presented as fact and salacious gossip. Thus our perception of them as only interrupting their rounds of drunken feasts and orgies to watch people fight to the death and maybe crucify…

I believe you can use less foam if the pit has a trampoline type underpinning but then you need safety nets on the side to keep from bouncing out. I’ve seen that kind at an amusement park as well as a dance/gymnastics center.

From my vast experience taking my kid to local amusements I’m pretty sure this needed to either be way deeper or be built on top of a trampoline type structure. Also those cubes are too big, a person’s body can easily push them out of the way. Especially moving down and sideways simultaneously you can plow through…

I can see people calling Clarkson a lot of things but “stuffy” doesn’t seem very in character for him. Did you go with that just because it’s often paired with “old”? If anything James May is the stuffy one of the group.

Pretty sure all that land has been farmed for centuries. So no wilderness. And while it's nice to look at sometimes I don't think agriculture counts as "natural beauty" being the work of mankind and all.

Please. He’ll throw his hat in the ring whenever he figures the GOP brand isn't so toxic it could hurt The Rock® and then he'll spin his lack of experience as "a new way of looking at things" or some other pablum. Same old story. Play coy until you're sure you can make a profit.

I’d imagine we tried domesticating foxes but it turned out that cats and dogs were better at the uses we had for animals at the time. Cats were better vermin killers and dogs were better alarm systems/hunting companions.

The American Jewish Committee too?

It would have to be Bugs in his mobster get up the whole time.

The historical objects should probably go back to their rightful owners but the objection that in some less stable countries they could end up stolen or destroyed is a valid one. So set up a UN team with the legal right to remove historical objects that are threatened during war or revolution with explicit mechanisms…

I’ve seen him so many times despite never having visited Egypt that I get the idea he'd rather be in front of a camera than on a dig.

Being replaced in a movie is not recognized as an appropriate punishment for sexual abuse and nothing else. Referring to the most well known example of the removal of an actor is not a discussion of what actions might warrant such a punishment or a statement that all such actions are equivalent. It’s speculation as to…

Play Marshall Tucker's "Heard It In A Love Song", it's got a flute in it!

Ok, definitely trolling. Non trolls do not talk about how they expect their children to die before puberty because of extremely rare side effects whose presence or absence can be easily verified by a doctor.

You’re trolling goddammit. And normally I’m okay with it but this isn’t funny, just weird. Is the bit that you’re like a year or so in the past or is it that you’re convinced the pandemic is still bad right now? Either way I’m not getting the joke.

That’s what you got out of this? After reading the article about the police ramming innocent citizens with their vehicles with no warning on the flimsiest of pretexts the question uppermost in your mind was “Why did they have their kids in a grocery store?” Seriously?
