In New York City, this problem led to two things: (1) Greenwich Village—the northern summer getaway village where the rich fled to avoid the annual cholera outbreak from a large, open cesspool that became... (2) Canal Street. Aaron Burr won the bid to turn the cesspool into a canal that would flush the waste into one…

Probably should have said ‘popular’ movie?

Crowe wrote, but didn’t make, FAST TIMES. Amy Heckerling did.

Looks like an old Anthropologie catalog for that very reason.

Yes. Here is a lovely, playful book that you can use to teach the alphabet.

Well, these days, if we consider the shitty drivel that usually seeps out of Hollywood’s pipeline, and compare it to the best of what’s on television (subscription, mostly), Tarantino may have been accidentally paying SELMA a compliment. The movie industry is much drier, creatively, than TV. (and this from a lifelong…

So, lemme get this straight—skin tight clothing is okay for breasts, butts, and cameltoes, but not for dicks? Even if the clothing is opaque? Because shapes are dirty? Our puritanism is pretty inconsistent. And weird as fuck.

A critic who can’t deal with criticism?

The old ‘gives it but can’t take it’ situation. Brave, he is not.

And, possibly, obstruction of justice, evidence tampering, etc.

That is some tomfuckery, right there.

Energy policy (nukes).

If I remember correctly, Bourdain started taking aim at Fieri when Fieri started stumping for Applebee’s—some of the worst food on the planet. It reduces the credibility of anyone who wants to talk to people about food.

And, to be fair, as you mentioned, Bourdain takes pot shots at everybody. (And, I usually agree with…

The first ‘unbeatable’ fighter I ever saw was Muhammed Ali. The second was Mike Tyson. There is no such thing as ‘unbeatable’. I’m sure Ronda would never have honestly considered herself such. The media, however, labelled her that a while ago. The ‘unbeatable’ label is what has brought her more fame and money than…

I certainly hope those responsible for these violent murders are caught alive. I would then love to see them tried before a jury of Muslims, as Muslims are the group to whom these militants have brought the most suffering—first, as direct victims of extremist violence, and second, because of the generalized backlash…

This is, indeed, a shame. I have been a member for over 22 years, and I buy LOTS of stuff there, every year. I bought a membership on my first-ever visit, because the salesperson was VERY helpful, kind, and patient. Fortunately, I have never felt disregarded because I already have a membership. But, after reading this…

Invite ALL his supporters to a ‘rally’ at the town hall. Bombs away.

Asshat Cruz is as much a ‘hunter’ as asshat GWB was a ‘rancher’. They’re asshat preppies playing dress-up. But their asshat constituents fall for it—again and again and again.

I was a VERY phobic child. Having conquered my fears, both psychologically and physically, now, in middle age, I am, pretty much, fearless. I would LOVE to experience this, and leave my logical brain at the door. While I love horror movies, they just don’t give the same level of ‘safe’ fear that I often crave.

I’m thinking that, perhaps, my shoot there, on Monday, may be postponed.

“...They’re just kind of pacing...”
Now I understand—these people thought the customers were from Indiana.

As a middle-aged, middle of the road-looking white guy, I’m thinking I could make a killing robbing asshats like this.
