Bing!

That's a good way of putting it.

> in the late 80s and 90s the LAPD seriously recruited cops from KKK and other racial purity groups. Like, that shit really happened

I thought everyone hated HateSong because it was comedians hating popular top 40 songs?

It's up there with the Run The Jewels interview where El-P convinced Killer Mike that Steven Seagal is awesome.

It has a slightly different meaning than giving. You'd never say your ex gifted you Herpes. It's also not a new usage. OED's first citation of gift as a verb is from the 16th century.

I'm surprised they were able to get Vin's brother to be in this thing.

I'm not gonna lie, I've played GI plenty of times while knowing it isn't in the dictionary. The trick is to play the ridiculous two letter words like XU and AA before you slip in the more reasonable (but not allowed) EW and GI.

There was a lot of paperwork involved in the firing process

A lot of them are dirty papists or use a bible other than the King James version that was handed down from G*d himself (http://www.biblefortoday.org/)

I half expected one of the warlocks to jump out of nowhere and try and kill her or something.

Kingsslayer?

"I put family first. The day you were born I didn't kill you, and I really really wanted to kill you…you're welcome"

I think the Kingsguard know who actually runs things and that everything would fall apart if Joffery didn't have Tywin pulling the strings. Also Tywin is way smarter and craftier than Joffery.

I think surnames are kinda fluid and optional for lowborn folk. Davos' is Seaworth which makes me think he just made it up as a smuggler/sailor. We learned that Shae doesn't have one, and I don't know if Varys even does. I can't think of any other non-orphan lowborn characters off the top of my head.
