Definitely watch! I really enjoyed.

They only reason they lasted that long was the brute-force Soviet engineering involved.

In other news, water is wet.

I must never show my daughter this... for then she would know I am not, in fact, the coolest dad in the world.

“A little Houdini?” How can you call a Great Pyrenees a little anything?

Some religious people say “What have you got to lose believing in God?” Meaning if there if there is no God, you’ve lost nothing living a life observing religion, but if there IS a God, then you get to go to heaven and all that fun stuff. (Which you wouldn’t as an Atheist - you’d go to hell).

Cougars are larger (and closely related to cheetahs) and they also purr but do not roar.

It’s one of the many bad things that have happened to my alma mater. First, the name change, then the pillage of the Aviation program and building. When I started back in the 90's, we were moving up to 1A in football, so that was all that mattered. There were nearly 14,000 students., now there are half that. I would…

Filibustering a nomination after hearings have been held in an attempt to shoot down a nominee and force Trump to put forward a different nominee, or even voting against Gorsuch when it comes time to vote =/= refusal to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland.

Isn’t the difference that Garland was never even allowed to come to a vote, and that extreme measures are pretty well justified now because this is a Supreme Court seat that was stolen from Obama?

So Lister finally comes home.
