I did some research in Oman a few years back on a wall they were planning to build on parts of the country’s border with Yemen. As of the last time I looked at it, the plans were dropped because of how badly it would fuck up the environment to have an impassible barrier preventing animal migration.

It’ll be gold, and blazoned with his name in goldier-gold at every mile marker.

That’s amazing how you can make a broad generalization about a whole race while denouncing racism in the next sentence. You got skills.

Well, when my sister’s marriage was circling the drain and she and her husband were still in deep denial, they decided to have another baby. One nasty divorce later and she’s wishing they weren’t quite so “bonded.” So... there are things more permanent than a tattoo, just sayin.

I keep trying to forget.

I laughed unreasonably hard at this list.

“a skirt that’s all ham”

Been done already.

Blooper reel thread! I love them. What are people’s favorites?

Yeah, I feel you. My Bengali husband clued me in to the fact that my view of the good guys/bad guys in WW2 is REALLY oversimplistic, being that Churchill was every bit as brutal to northern India as Hitler was to the Jews. At least Germany seems to have learned from their mistake - they don’t excuse, diminish, or…

“Semen probably is not wasted, because nature usually makes use of the material it has, and there is a hypothesis that the attitudes of men are passed to women by way of the semen which penetrates the tissue.”
I feel like if that were true, I’d care more about fantasy football.

Whoops, I should have read this before writing exactly the same thing in a separate comment. :)

Hmm. I’m not sure how you’re interpreting Graham, but my impression of the quote you cite is that he’s saying he’s worried because if there was enough evidence to warrant a wiretap, there’s real cause for concern about Trump’s Russia connections. He might not think Trump is off his rocker, but he seems to be…

Yeah, I read this thinking of Britain as well. I don’t make light of the term “rape” when I say that colonialism is the rape of a society. It turns a people against itself and forces the same kinds of self-loathing and shame that rape may force on a person’s body. I’m not sure how a society ever recovers from that…

Yup, very very deliberately. I’m very sure Pence and his people took on the VP role knowing that Trump could very well go down in flames, and that if Pence played his cards right and kept up plausible deniability, he’d #46. So he’s staying as far away from this shit as possible. I bet he has an email filter that keeps…

So, one thing that confuses me: I checked WaPo’s article for the source of this new info and all I could find was “Justice Dept officials” saying this meeting took place. So does that mean these sources are anonymous? And if so, why doesn’t Sessions accuse them of lying? I mean, I doubt they are, but that’s been a…

Fair enough. I took that as bitterness that a show like was cancelled, not a hint that it was cancelled BECAUSE of its non-white-maleness. But who knows.

I want to take that high road of “Who cares who takes credit for a good thing” with you, but unfortunately it leads to the land of “Let’s vote for the people we mistakenly think brought us this good thing.”

Just read through a couple dozen replies. You’re the first person that did. Go, you.

Exactly. This necklace fills me with inexplicable hostility and I’m not even kinky.

It’s ok. :P I was laughing at myself, not telling you to use different emojis.
