First thing that popped into my head, too. Leaving with satisfaction, in lieu of pay.

It would be nice if the banana republicans could show something resembling a spine, but they’re all too busy filling their own pockets with money to pay attention to that ratty old Constitution they used to claim to carry in said pockets.

1) The memo indicates that the call took 30 minutes. 9:03-9:33am.

At least he doesn’t have to hide his words inside a shield.

“And so we approve this resolution banning people under the age of 60, also known as “the kids”, from living in our fair city. They need to grow up first.”

Little Danny Snyder had the spoons removed because they blocked his view.

I don’t know that he’s “retired” so much as “currently unemployed”.  

Obligatory:

RIMMER: So there we were at 2:30 in the morning; I was beginning to wish

Only if they change their name to the 54-40s.

I didn’t buy it until Beyond, but I’m having a great time with it.

To this day, I am convinced that American Gladiators grew out of some producer’s having watched The Running Man in a drug-induced manic state.  The cartoon-evil layout of the original episodes only reinforces this idea in my mind.

This is how the system works: you get paid to play football. If you’re hurt, you get pressured into playing hurt. If you’re playing hurt, you get your pills to help dull the pain, at least right up until you take your pads off. You find out the pills work and then you keep taking them, even after your career ends.…

If someone asks me whether I’m a gamer, my first response will be “No.”  If they inquire further, I’ll follow up with “I play video games, but I have a family and a job and a moral compass.”
