It’s getting ridiculous.

Ah, the peace of 1970s Belfast...Reminds me of an MST3K joke from Master Ninja, where Lee Van Cleef’s character says he was in Japan after WWII, and was drawn to the tranquility of the country. Joel says “The tranquility of post war Japan?”

In 1999 I promise that most, if not all, of this group’s horrendous history was very publicly scrubbed, buffed and polished in order to not look like a bunch of creaky old fundy KKK worshipers; it was understood by that point that it was not a good image. If she had tried to look up anything it would have been missing.

Agreed. I take issue with “(rightful) attack.” Kemper has spoken about and apologized for this, and she is in no way responsible for this organization’s racist past. I can’t think of many things over twenty years old that DON’T have a racist past!

Half is being generous.

Kinja’s been fucked up for DAYS. I haven’t been able to access pending replies for a week.

Eeek! I hope you’re healing fast and well!

health people should expose themselves “to a low viral load”;

Floyd couldn’t legally punch Paul anyway since he’d probably kill him then and there, so of course they had to do this dancing-bears routine. I don’t know who expected anything different.

My take is that it doesn’t matter if somebody doesn’t want to eat X because of religious belief, allergy, or implacable hatred...it’s nobody’s business or place to insist upon it. Period. 

Ironically, the team may have bonded over their rage and hatred of these coaches. I remember in the series Band of Brothers, David Schwimmer plays this drill sergeant in basic training that is an absolute ass--he’s rude, he can’t bond with anyone, he gets them “killed” over and over during maneuvers--it’s clear he’s…

I am so sorry for your loss.

Seriously! I mean, don’t lie about important stuff like “I know how to pilot this nuclear submarine” or anything, but nobody gives a shit if you left some job ten years ago in March or April.

HI HI HI! Call us at Pagliacci in Seattle for pizza!

SECONDED. I can’t access any greyed comments at all and they all probably think I hate them or something!

Pepe has one fang like Bucky from Get Fuzzy!

Check out the novel A Head Full of Ghosts, by Paul Tremblay! It’s terrific and asks the question: do we know what possession is or only what media has told us it is?

JEALOUS. Must make plans for a movie soon!

I keep meaning to contact some friends of ours to come over and we can go to Captain Black’s for fried pickles, but our one mutual day off has been booked solid for so long I haven’t gotten around to it.

What the hell is it with cats suddenly deciding they’re Evil Keneivel? Yesterday Peanut started climbing up the screen door for no fathomable reason.
