Shit. I did exactly the same thing with the exact same results when I was in sixth grade for a series of assignments on Thomas Jefferson.

This was at least his second time at the Comedy Cellar alone talking about this. He did a pop-in with this material at the 7:00 show on their main stage on Friday, 18 January (I was there). Definitely a rough draft piece then, but a solid start.

One thing they need to keep in mind is that to legally marry in each of the 26 countries is not actually possible. For example, Canada’s marriage license application form has a qualifying question on it, “Are you married in another jurisdiction?” Answering “Yes” was an automatic denial of the marriage license…

God damn, yes.  Every word of Colin’s tweets are dead on.

I’ve lived on the north side since ‘95 (Lakeview, Uptown, Andersonville) and I’ve only ever seen one or two each season, maybe, in any of those neighborhoods.

I hate that the Doctor apologizes so much, though - TWO times in her first episode. This totally leans into the social more that women have to say “I’m sorry” constantly.

While the set and dancing was totally “Oklahoma,” the song itself struck me as incredibly close (like note for note close at the chorus) to “Me ol’ Bamboo” by Dick Van Dyke in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

Being a total cynic, I was 75% sure it was fake when I saw it and I’m pretty sure that the remaining 25% wasn’t helped any by the theater having turned down the AC to a temp close to what the actors were supposed to be feeling.

Thanks for the bump.

IheartWesties - I’m pretty sure that your mom’s cousin is my mother - she just told me that story a few months back. I think there was a family get together in Branson a few months back were this may have been shared. I don’t know how to PM or contact posters here beyond replies and even that isn’t working correctly fo…

I’m pretty sure the state buys the annuity and assigns that to you. In the case of Illinois, where our budget impasse last year was blocking lottery payouts, that was for lump payments and the initial purchase of those annuities. Anyone who took the annuities before then wasn’t affected, I believe.

Yes, that is correct, Katana, Halo and Geo-Force were original to BATO (Looker was also original, but added later, when the Baxter series started and Batman left). The Markovs were introduced pretty much at the same time in their respective titles, with the clear intention that they were related.

Would it be possible to get a copy of your reading list for this course?

No, that wasn’t Shazam/Captain Marvel in Infinity Countdown Prime. That was Captain Marvel JR. Different character (whose color scheme was a better match for Carol).

“sex-selective technology”?

I can top that: In the Bollywood film, Dhoom 3, shot here in Chicago (a few years ago, their most expensive movie ever at the time), the crooks drive from Navy Pier to a dam in Switzerland, in what we’re led to believe is about 5 minutes.

Great ridiculous film.

It’s a stay only for a few minutes, not 20 - the cut to the loop is a few seconds after the piece ends and starts again, so it’s a little hidden. The dog (Bento, I assume) is actually listening to it, though.

Not that it matters (yet?), but Alex made the point that he is only transcribing his memories, but not translating - he needed someone else to do that because he doesn’t speak German.

This news broke just as my 2-month’s left renewal notice for the Atlantic came in the mail. Bad timing, guys. Round file.

He was changed for the New 52, which is, unfortunately,.the basis for this film.
