THAC0 Jones has a certain weird ring to it, although I suppose THAC0 is technically a calculation and not a stat...

I love in Cleveland.

It won't happen, man. I love in Cleveland. Our schools have all gone to hell, most of the strip malls are empty outside of the main city.

what! Since when did the military start being overly expensive and not be able to accomplish anything?....oh wait

The US is only paying for part of the F-35 program - other countries have paid untold billions to the F-35 program in return for promises that the US would spend a similar amount buying from these countries. Orders that never materialized. So the US allies are left footing the bill and getting nothing back - not…

Holy crap.. I literally just watched this movie tonight for the first time after my wife had been trying to get me to see it for the last 5 years.
