Monly laundering was my first thought after reading the first pgh. That or some sort of tax scheme. Shot in Puerto Rico, so maybe they’re skimming disaster relief funds somehow?

It’s logistically sound, what with Lego land being so close to the border.

I suspect it's relevant to him being able to say that he brought back the steel industry.

Actually, they’re just being true to the books, wherein it’s specified that Westeros is only three square miles. Hence all the conflict.

Yeah, spilling confessions seems like *the one line* they haven’t crossed. But now that the idea is out there in the ether...

Obviously speaking from my own perspective here, but I’d bet Netflix has a massive, captive audience of people who don’t want to/get to go the theater often (parents!), and who are excited to get to see any *new* movie that looks half decent. That said, 45M opening week doesn’t sound like a stretch to me.

It was my understanding that it’s been scientifically determined that The Cars’ The Cars is the only valid answer. First album, first three tracks, all of them charting singles, all of them *still* on the radio, movies, and commercials, 40 yeas later.

That you find it contrived for anyone to drop either of those household brand names in conversation leads me to believe that when you want to look something up online, you say you’re going to “search-based internet-query” it.

His reference points are Hannity and Fox & Friends, so, probably. The better question is if the “Dem commercials" he refers to are SNL commercial segments.

Well, he spent his entire adult life obsessed with the fact that he’s not taken seriously, so there’s a good chance he ran for president specifically because he thought it meant he wouldn’t be made fun of.

I’m pretty sure there’s no one left on staff trying to explain things to him.

Wow, I’d heard of the show, but I never knew that it was actually on Fox News. Lest anyone doubt that Fox News is a Serious News Network...

That’s a bit of a catch-22 though, doing a ton of blow and having a ton of money to give away.

The current era of specialization is also kind of a big deal, with kids training for one skill from age ~5. My grandfather abandoned a basketball scholarship in the late 1940's to join MLB, beacause...athletics! Not a big deal then, but today, basically unheard of.

“...and there used to be.”

Maybe I’m wildly naive here, but...they x-ray players for broken bones mid game, and intravenously inject pain killers into them and send them back out on the field?

CB (chris boswell) pulled a complete CB (charlie Brown) on the play — Arse over teakettle.

Didn’t Cruz stop listening to rock because of 9/11, for some contrived reason?

Well that is the greatest summation of this phenomenon humanly possible. Thank you.

Thanks for the recommendation. All have been added to my metal 2018 playlist. Also, just found out Abyssal released something this year after a multi year hiatus, which I’m going to go binge on.
