It's strange to read this, for me, because I thought that the "Turkey in the Straw" (and, I've only ever known that tune as that) music was newish. When I was a kid, in NY, our ice cream trucks were Good Humor, and the trucks had regular, non-electrified, non-amplified, bells tied to a string that the driver would…

Spit-take! (and I hate myself for that)

But I thought that the only reason to play adult kickball was to get laid.

And that's probably a good thing—Texas LOST that one.

Oh, I wasn't referring to THIS case. There is something far darker here than merely self-ignorance.

I used to be just like you—I could not believe that someone could be pregnant and have nobody know—until a morbidly obese family member did just that. She says she realized she was pregnant only once she went into labor...Jeebus.

Re: number 3. I'm saying it. They haven't, and I think they won't.

And in related news, there's a pilot about people who return from the dead and try to reintegrate into their old lives—on Long Island. BABYLON FIELDS.

Probably was...

The DOLANS are shameless pimps. They ALMOST make me hate the Knicks.

Somebody doesn't know what a boner is or has an unfortunately-sized dick.

Texan here. If the only thing you think southerners can come up with to be proud of is the flag of a failed war of sedition, then you are the asshole.

Sons of seditionists who LOST. Fuck that heritage.

Understood. Thanks for clarification.

I think some people would argue that 1972 was worse.

Except, that that was not the way the committee had said they were going to pick. Nagasu was a surprise, who was not expected to win. They changed the rules after the fact. Also, they had already spent LOTS of money in promo materials, featuring Wagner. In short, I'm not against the rules, but they should be made…

Please, PLEASE don't move here.

Hell, that's kid stuff, man. He just wasn't angry ENOUGH.

It seems that you're assuming that this driver took NO care in this delivery. And, with all the hypotheticals you lay out, you're actually catastrophizing unnecessarily. I now the USPS insures packages for $100, for free, and I'm assuming that FedEx and UPS are similar. When you pay a fee for a service, that…

Why, exactly, is the driver in the wrong for that delivery technique? It did not, and couldn't have done, any damage. How is what he did any different from him laying it gently on a doily? I'll bet that there is NO way one could discern the difference from the condition of the contents. I think the assholes (and I…
