“They Saved Hitler’s Brain, and Then Implanted it in Bigfoot”

This is the country that elected Trump, the poster child of feeding on attention. Paul Anka cannot save us now. Not even with the help of some determined nuns. (deep MST3K reference there).

Surely fishing, If you’re doing it right, also involves some amount of killing. At least of fish, and possibly worms or crickets, depending on your bait,

My favourite Lovecraft story is “The Rats in the Walls”, and that’s kind of ruined because the cat has a racist name. I mean, Lovecraft couldn’t let it go long enough to not name a cat a racial slur. This annoys me. (If you can get past the cat, it is a good, creepy story)

You know, I don’t think Terry Crews is a particularly violent person. I imagine that after reading that tweet, young Jadian would be subject to a long, well-reasoned lecture on toxic masculinity and victim blaming. Which is no more than what he deserves.

I can believe it. My mom’s rescue was billed as a lab mix, and she clearly has a lot of lab in her, but you can see pit bull in the shape of her head, and how she carries herself. She’s a sweet dog, though, and hasn’t shown the slightest bit of aggression. There’s nothing wrong with pit bulls, as long as they’re…

I’m almost sure MST3k had a Nelson joke, but I can’t remember for sure. There is, of course, “You could have been so. . . Nelson”.

Maybe they have very strong opinions on Irish reunification and Scottish independence.

Now I want to see Dave Foley play an evil wizard. That sounds much better than this.

Agreed. I love his chili and make it regularly when I need a big pot of comforting food, but some of the stuff he makes is completely unnecessary. One that sticks in my mind is nachos, where first he makes his own tortilla chips, then individually tops each chip. That is not in the spirit of nachos, which are a cheap,…

Seriously, that is an underrated movie. More good ship movies, please.

This is exactly wrong, ponies are fair more likely to be jerks than horses. Generally, the bigger the horse, the less likely they will be a jerk.

Well, if you can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed. . . I think actually whelmed is just a normal state of being. We are all mostly whelmed most of the time..

Wait, do Mary Jane's not exist anymore? I saw some a few weeks ago. I suppose it's possible they wee just very old stock, as I can't imagine those go bad.

Margarine: the spread suitable only for anteaters.

At my university, they had to get rid of a set of automatic doors near a canteen, because several pigeons had learned to work the doors, and were hanging out in the canteen eating scraps. After they switched to manual doors, the pigeons had to wait for people to go in and out, so it didn’t help as much as they…

Also, seriously do not stick jade in your vagina, even if it makes you feel better about patriarchy. Jade can harbour bacteria and fungus, and give you a horrible infection requiring a real doctor. Find an egg shaped sex toy instead.

I plan to spend Labour Day having mixed feelings, because I support unions, but I also like having stuff to read, and so many news sites are unionised these days and taking the day off. (I had May Day off to celebrate unions, as I am in Europe, so I will be working. With nothing to read.)

Well, as it was originally designed, there was a second round, with taxation and wealth distribution, to demonstrate the glories of socialism. So it was less a game than an interactive lesson. Then some guy (the original game was designed by a woman) stole the first round, and sold it as a complete game. Thus further…

The problem with Monoply is that it’s such an old game that everyone is used to playing by their family’s house rules, which are slightly different for everyone, and leads to endless arguments.
