That’s called The Hannibal Lector and it’s all the rage with teens today. Some variations are Dark Knight Bane (3 fingers) and The Gimp (closed fist).

He has to just “Jimmy” the switch.

How am I saying there’s a lack of racism? Reading my statement, it’s pretty clear I’m saying the culture is vastly different. There’s a reason not many people vacation to Tallahassee. It’s a fairly common saying that you have to go north to get south. The culture is distinctly different, with southern accents…

Sorry, I thought I’d replied to this but maybe it didn’t post. If this doubles up my response: I apologize. Hopefully I can slim down my previous response by summarizing it a bit. I was really looking forward to your response because this is most engaged I’ve felt on these boards and I really appreciate that.

This was my takeaway. I always just picture him like Tre from Swingers, except it all caught up to him. But to learn the truth about him not being money... not money at all... so not money and I didn’t even know it yet. Damn.

Thanks! I don’t get why this wasn’t mentioned. The covers I use go beneath the pillow cover. They are pretty much like a condom for the pillow. I don’t see why people wouldn’t just go this route. Pillows can be more prone to mold, mildew or whatever with frequent washing. It takes just one small patch not fully dry to…

Thanks for that response and I can see where you want to not make the distinction. Bigotry is bigotry. I also didn’t mean to come of jargon-ish in my reply, but simply speaking on the story. I thought attempted murder, manslaughter and assault/riot were pretty general terms, so I don’t get where you think it looks the…

How does this play with the game companies that stock their shelves? It seems like it would create some sort of contractual breach. I thought that there was a license, or something of the sort, so that stores can get media in stock. So if they are taking funds that could be going back to the game producers, to funnel…

And the answer was the collective grasping equivalence of, “We know there are good black people!”

I don’t think that’s it. Minnesota is Midwest, but not Kansas Midwest, meaning it’s progressive and especially in Minneapolis. Comparing it to South Carolina is a giant stretch. It’s Midwestern the way South Florida is Southern, meaning kinda but not at all. That said, it is the Midwest and there are concealed weapon…

Does the Trump administration know that Frederick Douglass has been dead for almost 122 years?

If you haven’t seen Being There, I highly recommend it. I re-watched it recently, knowing there were parallels but ended up gutted by how many. The movie is what is happening right now, except replace talk about business and press with gardening. To quote a character in the movie who was a caretaker for the central…

Right on! I was reading the transcript of that statement, wondering if I’d been privileged in the black history awareness I’d gotten in public school. Thanks for putting it back into context for me. He’s for sure a Mt. Rushmore-sized figurehead. Argh! I wish someone would take me out of this version of Being There in…

Jesus Crapin Hell! That’s like the nuclear level equivalent of saying, “This guy knows what I’m talking about!”

Thanks for the recommendation. This is on my list now. I’m afraid it’s going to end up like The 13th, though — a subsection of my watch list that I keep hesitating to watch, knowing I’m going to get too... Errrr!

Right on. I compared this to someone who was throwing the word “respect” out over this sort of stuff. Since they are always passive-aggressively whining about their kids on Facebook, I likened what he’s doing to a bratty kid who demands that he gets to go to a waterpark for his birthday and then he wants to do this,…

I noticed that and wondered if it was, unfortunately, intentionally smug.

I came here to say the same thing but - The Terminal as a dark satire that stars Steve Buscemi.

If Steve Buscemi were in some sort of dark parody of The Terminal.

I don’t know where it is hinted that I’m not understanding the subject of the story or have disagreed with your comments about the incident. As I said, I’d veered into a general moaning about inattentiveness in general. It was more in relation to the common refrain about 75 not being much different than 65 — a sort of…
