That’s likely a “If this flag offends you / study American History” t-shirt. Just so you know what level of jackass you’re seeing here.

Poor Mrs. Betty Teal. Every time I hear Bolton mentioned (which does happen from time to time), I think of this sketch and smile. It’s been more than thirty years since I first saw it, and this is still one of my favorites.

Little known fact: These characters are based on enhancements the Russian government has been testing on their athletes.

They were great up until the OJ trial. That really was the end.

Those are really good examples.

I think he’s going to be on the losing side of the argument. Well, as much as a losing side it can be with billions of dollars. It may be that Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries - especially ILM and probably Skywalker Sound - may eventually be viewed as his greatest contribution to the…

At the same time he’s dissing “retro” and “nostalgia”, he’s overlooking the fact that the two films he really built his career on in the 1970s - American Graffitti and Star Wars - were nothing but in terms of content. AG was a look back at his formative years, and Star Wars was a romp through the movie serials, scifi…

I’d suggest “Van Faux”, but maybe that works better to the ear than in print.

Anyway, we’ve got some places around here that do the whole party wine/art - it’s generally art/ceramics places that are doing “real” classes for kids and adults as well, and this is a way of generating some revenue in the evenings. Seems…

I’m ok with that, as long as there’s poison on both knives.

I was finally able to watch the episode - and that was fun. Might actually be my favorite Christmas epsisode so far. The tone was just what I wanted.

I’d tip the waiter $500 to have the sickest staff person in the restaurant (since their employers aren’t required to provide paid sick days because of assholes like Cruz) handle his food.

I’d like to see Hunter College High use the money to add a required ethics class that every student has to take.

I’ve got one that hasn’t exploded. I wrapped a towel around it when I opened it.

I suspect many of these Republicans would also be OK with a post-bombing installed government handing lucrative oil contracts over to Dinoco.

I’ve still got mine - including the Death Star, the original Falcon, etc. They’re all pretty beat up. So I’ve let my kids play with them and they got a lot of enjoyment out of them.

That was my first thought - they could be teasing a SHIELD/HAMMER conflict down the road. Or maybe HAMMER exists in the film, and it just hasn’t been leaked yet.

I’d agree - the ONLY way I’d give them any benefit of the doubt is if she (or an assistant or household manager) has a habit of scheduling visits from various services/contractors/whatever, not always notifying the security staff, and then throwing a shitfit if the person or persons get delayed by security. I’m also…

The marketing campaign might be dumb, but I was pretty happy with the LexCorp-branded phone charging battery I got at NYC Comic Con this year.

And since I got a free battery, and Arrow, Flash, and soon Legends of Tomorrow all exist, SvB can, as I expect, foul its own nest and I’ll still be content.

Pussy Riot would be more awesome than Jefferson Starship, and less off putting than implied Wookie porn.

I’ve been waiting for this. I was maybe hoping for something a little more fitting (perhaps a long, painful, incurable, lingering illness only manageable by use of a ruinously expensive drug), but this just fine. Christmas came early.

In some ways, if the secure a conviction, seeing this turd getting judged by society…

I would have preferred that Astra and Non referred to each other as “Honey Bunny” and “Pumpkin”.
