You wish you were half the person she was.

"I know, right?"

Come on man, you know that one hand is always otherwise occupied on the A.V. Club.

Replace Weekend Newswire writers with super-intelligent cyborgs! Or if cyborgs aren't invented yet, use people from the neighborhood!

"Is it Batgirl?"
"Naw, it's just Prince again."
"Dang."

Man, I remember commenting on a couple of much earlier episodes about how evil we should think that Gallinger really is. A petty, misguided, jealous, racist asshole yes, but truly evil? The last couple of episodes have pretty effectively answered any dissent I might possibly have raised. But as evil as he is, Dorothy

What have we told you about sticking jingle bells up your nose young man?

York kidding, right?

His 90s live-action Trickster was proto-animated Joker. If you're interested in catching up with 90s Flash it's available through the CW Seed app. Trickster appears in two episodes, both with the word "Trickster" in the title.

Will the last film of the series be the heart-warming tale of a once-attractive woman who has destroyed her face through a series of disastrous plastic surgeries?

As of December 2011 the position of the Dept. of Justice is that the Wire Act does not apply to any online gambling other than sports betting.

Nope. The feds previously relied on the Wire Act to support that position but the Fifth Circuit ruled back in 2002 that nothing in the plain language of the Act prohibits online gambling. The Dept. of Justice continued to operate under the pretext that the Wire Act barred internet gambling until December 2011 when it

Technically speaking it's not. What is illegal is for U.S. banks to transfer funds to or from an online poker site per the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

As a descriptor of the type of bells "jingle" is an adjective modifying "bells". The song could thus be interpreted as expressing a preference for jingle bells over for instance church or cow bells, "jingle all the way" being an expression of absolute commitment to jingle superiority.

It is not a violation of the First Amendment for a choir in a public school to sing religion-themed songs at a concert where attendance is voluntary. The only way the 1st comes into it is if the students are required to attend. I'm always saddened when people in authority use the fear of complaints from atheists as an
