So now we’ll see the difference in reaction between this and Operation Jade Helm. Come on conspiracy theorists - don’t be hypocrites.

Presumably Blizzard leases their building from The Irvine Company - who clearly have no sense of humor or adventure.

Had to use a calculator for this - I learned the hyperventilation method in elementary school 43 years ago.

Right on the first scene. The little girl’s worshipful look, the deep moody walk, the whispering priests, the un-interrupted interruption. The only reputation they have is because of the killings that take place during the movie - before then they are just feckless welps.

Holy shit.

In my sock.

Lee Majors would be proud.

I read through the whole story waiting for that moment when the horse decided to count things. Left somewhat disappointed.

I’m surprised that I haven’t received this email from my dad. Actually, not too surprising since I delete all emails from him with RE: or FW: sight unseen. What a fucking stupid email - “they just may not show up anymore.” Off to a sheltered valley to play with John Galt?

I’m more familiar with pediatric cancer patients (September awareness month = Gold - shameless pitch) and I occasionally see the term “won their battle” (meaning they died). I think I like that phrase even less than “lost”.

I thought I was the only superstitious one out there. I usually describe my son’s condition only as “he’s doing well” (still in the 5 year NED window). Celebrating it at this point is just an invitation to get kicked in the guts again so I try to keep a low karma profile.

From some of the comments on reddit/wtf, apparently it’s easy for blood to.. um.. inflate the appendage, but the body doesn’t have an effective way to pump blood back out. So even after losing all interest in having relations with a weight, the dude is sort of stuck.

Similar boat - I’ve had 4 in the last 15 years (and I’m now 51) mostly for anemia issues. First one discovered a small hole in my esophagus from acid. Eat the right foods & drugs and it went away for 10 years. Comes back again and results inconclusive. The only guess is donating platelets frequently leeches the…

I’m pretty sure I have it in the attic after buying it when it came out. Note to self - dispose of.

Whoa, these comments! Let’s just focus on the kitty again.

But what about the Rainbow Bridge? That’s what I’m looking forward to.

Classy take (in all sincerity) - abuse the team, respect the situation.

Actually, I thought it was a great movie watching summer - GOTG2, Alien:Covenant, WW, It comes at night, Baby Driver, Spiderman, War for the Planet of the Apes, Logan Lucky. August sure seemed to peter out though. My older kid has a fondness for the Alamo experience, so I try to limit the movie watching to good…

What you described (we call it basted) is our family tradition and some of the family insists on continuing it. Not many places seem to know what basted is, or will actually do it, so I gave up years ago and settled for ordering them over easy.
