Well, on the plus side, they’re not saying, “We’re in Engineering 4, room 310, and there’s nothing in the room to bar the door with.”

David Icke isn’t technically a cult; he’s just a . . . very passionate man.

I had the vague impression that Mickey Rourke was Gary Busey-level crazy. Is that roughly correct?

Ha ha, you’ve clearly never been asked to perform The Weird Favor.

To be fair, parents helping kids under seven was an exception written into the law.

Man, I can’t even get a reliable hookup for weed. How the hell do so many guys manage to find drink-spiking chemicals?

THANK you. I struggle to understand why this wasn’t in the original post.

I grew up ELCA and went to a Lutheran college for undergrad. I attended the daily chapel service a grand total of once. As soon as it started, the woman in front of me whipped on a head scarf, and I was like, “WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?”I guess it’s a WELS thing for women to cover their heads in church? It was so…

I like that you apparently have to use the word “fucking” to describe the pharmaceutical company you work for. Is it just, like, a reflex at this point?

I have an oddly vivid junior high memory of watching an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy in which Ed Asner absolutely wiped the floor with Pat Sajak and Teri Garr.

. . . well, I also just finished a semester teaching a Jewish studies course, so I’ve been seeing it everywhere for a while. Mostly it’s hilarious that none of my Jewish students can remember how to spell it.

“Jewry” is still a pretty widely-used term in academia. e.g., the Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry, the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry, and so forth. It honestly doesn’t feel out of place for me at all, but those are the kinds of circles I tend to move in.

See, I want all executions to be required to be broadcast on every channel as they occur, in a setup like the Emergency Broadcast System. If you don’t want to watch, you have to turn off your set.

But, for example, Pro-Life Texas says that its stance is officially: “We seek due process of law and equal protection of the law for all human beings from the moment of fertilization until natural death and without regard to their age or physical and mental competence.”

Just up posters around your neighborhood with pictures of the unvaccinated kids that just say “DIRTY, DO NOT TOUCH.”

With the recent announcement of a Tom Hooper-directed Cats movie, I think I know who won’t be getting a cat-call!

That’s why I always treat pro-life women as totally irresponsible morons, as they have literally demanded that all women be treated that way by law.

My response to any complaint brought up by any parent who willingly sent their kid to private Catholic school: “I don’t give a shit.”
