As the assholes in question were not interviewed, of course he can make no such assertion. What’s your point? You agree that they are assholes... are you suggesting that, by not being aware of the kid’s condition, that their assholery is exonerated? I suppose it’s less evil to be an ignorant asshole than a willful…

Thank you, Shep! I’ve been looking for a good, large-capacity pack. Nothing like stumbling on to the right deal at the right time :)

I’m just mad about Russia,
Russia’s just mad about me,
E-lec-tric-al-Banana,
In So-vi-et Russia they will peel me!

Good advice. My wife will say I’m not her “type”, and she’s probably not mine, either, at least whe you look at things like backgrounds, hobbies, organizational styles, picking up laundry, etc. But I would call our 12+ year relationship successful by any other standard, so I guess we may not be the best ones to judge…

A very similar situation happened to someone very close to me; in her case, she was isolated in a car with an older guy guy who had driven her to a remote spot instead of (as promised) driving her home. He didn’t physically threaten her, but she also mentioned feeling paralyzed as he tried to persuade her to let him…

The Reading theater is amazing... IF you’re willing to ensure that you have seats in the sweet spot. The screen is so damn huge that even center seats about 1/3 of the way from the front left me feeling like I was looking up at the side of a 7 story building (which, well, I was). I usually have no problems with 3D,…

True, it was “fears of piracy” which led to terrible DRM methods, but DRM in the form of copy protection has been around since the floppy disk days, well before the Internet and any sort of widespread, organized piracy (unless you consider the occasional dial-up BBS “organized”). The origin of DRM was due to the fear…

Why shouldn’t it have caught on? I’ve just finished watching the original Episode I (despecialized, of course) with my kids this past weekend, and am ready to watch Episodes II and III (though I’m not as crazy about the Ewoks in the third one). I can’t wait for Episode IV to come out!

I’m not Walmart defender, but I don’t see the point of “Royals” here. If he’d been flying a comparably priced Cessna or Mooney, suffered a mechanical failure on takeoff, and had to ditch it in a golf course, would “Royals” apply?

FTFA: He lost power after takeoff, radioed “We’re going to try to find a place over here that’s clear”, and then it was reported “When we looked up, there was a plane that was like free falling for a second and then popped a parachute”. There’s not a lot of info to go by, but nothing in that report backs up the “idiot…

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

That’s no moon...

Had that happen to my wife once when she brought her car to a local garage for her state inspection (not the place I usually go, just some random place she happened to drive past). She was told that her tires were shot and they couldn’t legally allow her to drive, but they could replace them while she waited. She…

On the contrary, I’d say he passed it :)

You know what’s not photoshopped? The absolute, sheer unfeigned joy these patriotic soldiers are expressing in the presence of their Beloved Leader. Look at those faces... like kids at Christmas discovered that Santa has not only stopped over, but stayed the night and is downstairs having coffee with Mama. What could…

Because the only way to make a zombie game interesting is to add more gore.

This is it. This is the pinnacle of the human race. We won’t get any higher than this, folks.

I don't recall exactly when I'd learned that Santa wasn't real, or if I'd ever really believed, but I distinctly recall the trauma (or so it seemed at the time) when my kid brother finally figured out that the big S was nothing but a little white lie. Fast forward a few decades, I've never told my kids one way or…

Both are considered correct. From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/often:
