god bless you for jamming out to Smalltown Boy in 2020.
Kind of like during the DaimlerChrysler years when there were lots of marketing pieces about “DaimlerChrysler Presents The New 300C” or whatever, but I sure don’t remember any Mercedes marketing sullying itself by using the then-new parent company’s name.
starred for bringing back the ducks!
I appreciate the reply, and as the parent of a loving 70lb Boxer / Rott mix (and formerly also parent to a 9olb Dobie and 120lb Mastiff / Shepherd mix) I truly understand that no breeds are inherently aggressive unless they are conditioned that way, and dogs of all breeds can be loving companions if they’re well…
The police dept here in Toledo (Ohio) was running recruitment ads a couple years ago that literally showed 30 seconds of nothing but: cops busting down doors; SWAT-looking teams running through buildings with assault rifles in their arms like a damn episode of Hawaii Five 0; cops leading un-muzzled K9s (big-assed…

My bad. I’ve clearly been locked at home too long and my brain was stuck on pizza because of all the MOD b.s., and I lost track of the “fave fast food” context.

Um, Lou Mal’s would like a word.
starred for invoking Nina “The High Priestess of Soul” Simone. I loved her quote they showed in the Netflix bioflick — MLK asked her to appear at an event with him, and her response was “Reverend, I am NOT a non-violent woman.”
