when I was little I used to imagine my bed floated in shark infested water and I couldn’t hang any limbs over or they would bit it off. Thanks, Jaws. I think the murderer idea would freak me out now though. Not only to I work graveyards by myself but I’ve had too many(one, one is too many) actual killers close to…

Iran Hostage Crisis when I was 11. I feel like there was probably stuff before that, I mean I remember the bicentennial celebration and things like that, but as far as a bad thing that happened and actually watching news stories, it would be that and the birth of Nightline.

Jon and Sansa are 1st cousins, not uncle and niece. There are lots of places where 1st cousin marriage isn’t that big a deal.

Absolutely, one of my favorite books, and I’m not a fan of his fiction. I read it because it was recommended in several places and then happily reread it for my creative writing class.

Honestly, this just comes off as “here’s why the women/POC I fridged is *completely* different from every other time it’s been done — because it was an *artistic* decision” explanation that pretty much everybody uses, and as usual it holds absolutely no weight be creative enough to think of something else and if you…

One, do you seriously expect anybody to say, “no, no take away the money and the recording contract because even though I’ve chosen to make this my career I don’t actually want to be successful at it?” I mean anybody not committed to being an “artiste”. If she did proclaim her mediocrity then people would accuse her…

If he was on his son’s side he’d want his son to face up to his actions, accept his punishment and come out on the other side a better person. Anybody that does not want someone they love to be a smart, decent, responsible human being is NOT on their side.

I care about my best friend and don’t give a shit about her husband, so that is possible.

I have no idea what everybody else is seeing or if it’s a matter of different resolution but it’s so clearly a cigar. I saw it the second I saw the picture. It’s not even the same color as the bricks, which are a light pinky beige. It’s a dark brown. It did confuse me though because I then spent minutes staring at it…

Wow, just wow. People threatened this woman and they threatened her family, that’s not meaningless or harmless. Frankly, I’m terrified enough of Republicans in power that I’m voting for whoever gets the nom but tbh it doesn’t feel like there’s much difference between the Bernie fanatics and the Trump fanatics.

I hate that show so fucking much. It’s a televised mindfuck that involves people in some bullshit sociological experiment without their prior consent. It should be illegal and I’m surprised that there haven’t been any reprecussions legal or otherwise.

counter counter example or something. Could Bill Pullman have pulled off Bill Paxton’s roles in Near Dark, One False Move or Frailty? Nope. They both have their ‘generic white dude hey it’s that guy!’ spots but they’re not the same spot at all. It’s just that they can both be described as Bill P...something, you know,…

You know the responses I’ve seen in this thread defending Doc just sort of support what Austin said. Pretty much every one has been about Doc’s presence during sports related circumstances, which is exactly what Austin said. It also might explain why Doc has Austin on the team if he’s not a very good player, that may…

Sooo is this like a cultural thing? I mean if Boudreau swallows the Rosetta stone in the off season and can passably parle Francais would they hire him? Or do they only want natives?

yeah, think I’ll have a PB&J for dinner now. Thanks!

My brother and SIL definitely have at least one person, but it’s the same person so I don’t even think it’s a cheat? More like they’d be willing to hae a threesome.

I genuinely thought I would not like CA, and only watched it in prep for the Avengers but Cap stole my bitchy, cynical, pessimistic heart. It’s why I liked Cap more in TWS than in the Avengers because I missed the good guy trying to do the right thing against obvious bad guys. Rather than the guy butting heads with…

Oh let’s not forget the way the Supernatural angels basically con or threaten the faithful into being meatsuits for them. I could never like Castiel after poor Jimmy was so happy to be free and then was forced back to save his daughter. At least the demons don’t pretend.

Wow, based on that, I’m just gonna assume you sit around these parties dressed in sheets and hoods.

Sure, the got really rich but one of them also developed an eating disorder, they were pretty much hounded and harassed constantly by the tabloids while growing up and in college, the focus of frankly sleezy and perverse sexual attention by grown men who couldn’t wait until they turned 18 to mention how much they…
