That's not strictly true. There's no V sound, but ك, while usually transliterated as a k, could just as easily be a c.

We heard about the car crashing, but not dying like his parents. The answer is that the doctor is his mother, the car!

He gets me to change away from my local college station when I'm in the car. That's saying something, because I'm too lazy to do that even with Father John Misty

Because conservatives, especially conservative media outlets and pundits, sell it as a lifestyle. They might live in a trailer, work minimum wage without benefits, and send their kids to a failing school system, and collect more from tax credits than they ever pay in, but people like Hannity and Limbaugh and Trump…

Pardon me if I may be so bold as to interject for a moment dear sirs manufactory

There's a very long compound German noun for it, but googling any two individual words from it will get you added to a watchlist in multiple countries.

I saw one recently that said "Kindles are bullshit" and had very much the same reaction. And that was the only bumper sticker on the car, so it isn't like they had a lot of strong opinions about everything that they felt the need to express.

Alumni as a singular noun has started to become pretty standard across universities for official communications, since it isn't as gendered as alumnus/alumna. I'm sure the right would be really pissed about it if any of them understood even basic Latin terms.

And he almost didn't write this column. Granted, if he did 300 as originally planned, he'd have 4000, but they'd all be about how it came out in 2007.

I'm with you on most of those, but Dalton was really just Craig at a time when no one appreciated it.

But what are the odds of one secret agent single-handedly foiling 24 plots to take over the world over a nearly 60 year period?

Maybe I'm weird, but I always hated that line, because it felt too on the nose. Plus, Moore never ordered a martini "shaken, not stirred," because he thought it was Connery's line, so it wasn't even groundbreaking, really.

You were a mid-180s comic book fan too? I know CCC catches a lot of flack for Poryphorus of Pompeii's inking, but I thought Pliny really did a good job of telling the historical story of the Spartans while also commenting on the contemporary Roman Empire. It's just a shame that it was misinterpreted by all of those…

But notably not The Beatles, who Bond trashes in Goldfinger.

I hated that they used it in the film and it's still a sort spot for me, but I think you're underestimating the amount of strategy that goes into it. Having what's essentially a second hand visible on the table makes it much more dependent on bluffing and reading other players than on luck.

That's actually taken from an older and more fun fan theory from You Only Live Twice that Bond dies in the opening credits and the rest of the film is his journey through hell.

I definitely agree with that. I never enjoyed Mike doing 50s B-Movies as much as Joel, because the meanness seemed unwarranted for things that were dumb in an innocent way.

Do you remember this comment thread? Isn't it depressing in hindsight?

Is that why the kids are telling everyone to stay whokay?
