My only concern is Hiddleston-centric. Kong was set about 40 years before Godzilla. I don't know how they're going to get the timelines to match up and keep providing me with Tommy Hiddles.

"I'm Cookie Puss!"
"And I'm Fudgy the Whaaaaaaaaaale!"

I barely remember it burning down. My older sister actually *went through it* before it burned down. Also, it had a twin in Long Branch which, incidentally, also burned down.

We had them down in Philadelphia too, before they all got turned in Rita'seseses.

Hot day, most likely.

I'm in Jersey, which is one of the hardest states to get a gun permit in and forget concealed carry.

I just realized where that was from and why I use it occassionally. So not so weak.

Yes, I understand that, but keep in mind that this is America, where we don't pry driving privileges out of the hands of even the most blind octogenarian until well after they've crashed their car into the front window of a 7-11. There is virtually no way to force Americans *not* to drive cars and some Americans…

So I get to be a pretty reviled president but celebrated former president?

I was just having that conversation with my a friend the other day about how people who think they "tell it like it is" are really just inconsiderate bitches who think far more highly of their opinion than they should.

So if the millions of people who have their money tied up in GS moved it to other managers/brokers then you'd be perfectly okay with it dying/being bought by another company? Because that's pretty much what's going on with Uber. Except Uber hires slightly more contractors.

*Sigh* ….

I initially read this way too fast and couldn't figure out why Evan Rachel Wood was auditioning for the role of X-23.

Fair point. Alternately, should Uber die tomorrow, two more services will rise up to take its place and then a series of mergers will occur until one ride-share service exists to go before Congress and discuss it's why it's not a monopoly.

They used to shoot scenes for L&O:SVU around the building I used to work in. Ice-T and Richard Belzer used to hang outside. I walked up to Belzer one day and started shouting "I AM NOT MONTEL WILLIAMS!" at him. T must have thought I was fucking insane.

You're not alone. The second season was pretty much garbage with a couple of highlights. JJ is where it's at.

I'm torn on the self-driving car thing. On one hand, no creepy cabbie or Uber driver when I'm drunk and no need for GPS/maps. On the other hand, I don't think these things will be inclined to do 85 in a 65 zone and driving can be a lot of fun.

And if that company was Goldman Sachs and not one you work for, how would you feel then?

Unless you're financing your car through them, I'd say you're most likely not stupid or evil. And if you are financing your car through them, I'd say you're more optimistic than stupid.

Yes, it's certainly not Henry Ford trying to force a rubber plantation and American-style town to flourish in a South American jungle-level douche, but I still wouldn't want to work for the fucker.
