Too bad they pissed it away and ended up with only a point instead of 3.

With self-checkouts, the worst is WalMart. At the grocery stores, they’re identified as being express checkouts, and they also will usually have a single, manned express checkout.  But WalMart just put in self-checkouts in ours and REMOVED express checkouts.  I mean, at WalMart, it seemed like express was just a…

Again, I thought it was set before the Civil War, but it’s been over 35 years since I saw it. From Wikipedia (take it for what it’s worth):

Taxis, buses, boats, trains, and airplanes are licensed, inspected and regulated. 

Nats fan:

It was set in 1870, the same time period that Harris wrote the Uncle Remus stories. And I had to refer to wikipedia on that because I swore it was set before the Civil War.

A scene from Dumbo in which the eponymous elephant meets a group of crows will also be cut,

Read Peter Pan some time.  It’s pretty racist too. (I’m not defending Disney here, but it’s not like they came up with the idea for it.)

And Mickey and the Roadster Racers as well for the pre-K set.

Because before the home video market, Disney would regularly release their movies in the theaters. (I know, because instead of my mom taking me to go see Ghostbusters, I got to see The Jungle Book instead, because Ghostbusters swore too much and an implication of a non-marital sexual relationship.) Song of the South…

They replaced the tar-baby with honey.  But otherwise it’s the story of the Tar-Baby.  Of course, the original is simply a trap, but it has since taken on racist overtones.  And no happy slave narrator, although in the movie it was actually a happy former slave narrator.

The characters are fine, which is what frustrates me. The stories of Uncle Remus are stories that were collected from tales told by slaves on the plantations before the Civil War. (Yes, there is valid criticism in the way that Joel Chandler Harris presented them, and I would love for an author, like a Toni Morrison or…

I never went to Disney World until my oldest was four, so I was in my late 20s, over a decade ago. (My parents didn’t believe in fun vacations. As much as I enjoyed them, my vacations were crammed with museums and historical locations.) The first time you go, it’s neat, fun, etc. But since I’ve always had an idea for…

Again, remind me why anybody should ever use Uber, Lyft, etc.?

Everton got picked apart by Newcastle a few weeks ago, so it’s not like they’re City or ‘Pool. With the firepower that United has at their disposal they should at least make things interesting for Pickford who is suspect in goal; they couldn’t. ManU has turned into the Dolphins; it’s been twenty years since Marino…

You don’t HAVE to have pro/rel. You could exist as a typical American sports league. What you should have is clubs able to invest better and MLS no longer owning the clubs. Yes, that means there could be more dirty oil money pouring in, but it would allow clubs to be able to invest better in their product.

Even though I grew up in Northern Virginia, my parents only took me once to see the Pirates, or any of the later names it was changed to, I think primarily because it wasn’t that convenient to get there from our house. (Never wen’t to an Orioles game either. Fuck the O’s. Went to a lot of Dip’s games though.)  The one…

Sure. The president of the university is the problem. Let’s go with that.

The same thing happens when a goal is scored and then the linesman raises the flag for the player being in a offside position. I’m not a big fan of any video review, but VAR isn’t the worst of them. My only quibble was during the second leg of Madrid Ajax when they reviewed whether the ball had gone out one the…

It would sound like the players would have a cause of action...only it’s probably pointless for them to do anything. I would think the best course of action is just to ignore the AAF contracts.  If the CFL (or Arena, still exists. Go Albany Empire! (I guess?)) signs a player, is the AAF going to sue for breach of…
