“I’m not a Yankees fan but I got this tattoo of the Yankees’ logo.”

Jump scares are the cheap way out. One of the scariest parts of any movie I’ve seen is in Silence of the Lambs when Jodie Foster figures out who Buffalo Bill really is and tries to arrest him. Ted Levine playing Buffalo Bill just stands there, sort of laughing, and drops the cards he was holding.

If you were a hot dog, would you pay $5.45 to eat yourself?

Terminator benefited from a perfectly timed and perfectly casted sequel.

I read her response through three times and I have no idea what she is talking about there. She seems to agree that it is not babysitting.

You’re rich when the assets you own generate enough income for you to make a living without a paycheck from an employer.

Just one word. Plastics.

Can’t get blood from a stone. The court martial can impose loss of pay, but that’s a punitive thing, not meant to repay the property damage. He’s now a private making $20K per year, so if they did 100% it would take like 30 years.

I’m now remembering that our babysitter wanted pink. But, it was not up for negotiation. April, you are TAN and that is final

I did too. My color was yellow. Mom was black (I mean, she was Irish but her color was black), Dad was purple, brother was green, babysitter was tan. There were others but I forgot.

I used to think of colors as opposites of each other. Red/blue, yellow/green similar to black and white. I don’t think it qualifies. I think it was because of this book:

Same. I served on a court-martial for a desertion case and we did a dishonorable for the guy.

Murder, sex assaults. Stuff like that. This was property damage. Not that serious.

What a dickhead. I thought the riggers had to have their work checked over at least once? At least that’s what they told us. Now that I think of it, they probably have that requirement and just pencil whip it like most things in the Army.

$220K for those rickety pieces of junk is the real crime here.

What are closing costs and how do I get out of paying them?

Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn

Yes, it is unclear. Seems that they lumped in student loans with mortgages (!), bank accounts, and utilities accounts.

Agreed - he makes all the necessary disclaimers that he is not actually a trained historian, but that just makes me ask ‘why not just go and read the Guns of August rather than listen to this guy talk about it?’
