This is pretty absurd. It’s a horrible idea. The charge is lying under oath by saying, “precedent on precedent”, essentially a confirmation of stare decisis. Ok, fine. The flip side of that is that the candidate would basically have to affirm, “I will not change my mind in the face of compelling evidence”. What’s…

One Smart car and one baby African elephant meets my needs a little better.  Is it ok to mix and match like that?

I actually had a dealer tell me that, on a much cheaper car. “No, no test drives, but it’s great, trust me.” This was for a used Taurus SHO.  Noped right out of there.

I’ve taken your post, removed the ad hominem elements, and retained only the logic and reason. Here’s how it looks now:

And a little too much of “my word!”.  It’s like hearing my great-grandmother, bless her heart...

I don’t think so, and I’m certainly not one of them.  I know a few that are thoughtful and introspective.  I don’t agree on a lot of matters, but I appreciate that we can talk about it.

Agree about stud extractors and stud finders.  Someone brought a stud extractor near me once and I was suddenly pulled from my chair and right to the tool.  And I went down an aisle of stud finders at Home Depot once.  Every damn one of the things suddenly went off.  So annoying.

My father would tell the story of impregnating my mother every winter solstice. It was beautiful. You Jalops have hang-ups.

So this isn’t the secretary to Kate. This isn’t that secretary’s assistant. This isn’t the assistant secretary. This is the assistant secretary’s assistant.  The pay sounds about right.  This seems more like internship than a long-term job.

I’m up to join Antahole.

A point on proper writing: It is considered improper to refer to “the Duke boys”.  Accepted practice is to instead say, “them there Duke boys”, optionally followed by cracking open a Budweiser.

Gee, I’m really sorry your Raph blew up, Erik.

BTW, I’ll be selling my dirty socks, by the pair, in an exclusive sale. How, much you wonder? $10? $100? $500?  Worry no more-- these can be yours for the high, high price of $2500.  Move now before prices go down!

I’ve done some surprising off-roading with our Dodge Grand Caravan.  No, it won’t beat a Raptor, but we’ve had some definite yolo moments that worked out just fine.

“I put on my robe and wizard hat..."

This enflames my loins, much like oatmeal, the color beige, and elevator music.

These are hardly unique to Utah, but they are certainly found here:
