Gingrich: “He apparently had a tattoo that was either a reference to a song in favor of heroin use...”

I honestly assumed it was more basic, i.e. they are conservatives who t***p totally deranged with his bullshit who *also* need to find something other than their lack of talent to blame for their careers drying up (although to be fair, if I were a liberal Hollywood producer I wouldn’t want to work with those dickheads…

I’ve never seen one episode of Xena, but oh my goodness, Lucy Lawless was absolutely stellar in Parks and Rec. She fit right in and held her own with everyone on the show. Including Tammy!

i absolutely loved burt!

“Understated” is a great way to describe much of how Benjamin portrays Bob. I’ve mentioned it in other Bob’s Burgers posts: he gets so much mileage out of a simple “hmm” mumble-grunt after one of the kids has said or done something troubling, if not awful.

Now I introduce Burt Chance from Raising Hope, who would covertly frighten his son on Halloween because he loved comforting him when he would run home. Not great parenting, but genuinely loving.

While not necessarily the direction Bob really excelled in, I do think that ‘I love you, but you’re all terrible’ line did do an understated amount of weight-pulling in defining Bob as a good, caring dad right from the jump. It’s one thing to say that at the end of a story, in private, or when it’s really important,…

I think the change really turned the corner in “Bob Fires the Kids” when he realizes how miserable his childhood was because of his own dad, and so made more effort to not pass that down.

Another way Bob eschews the typical sitcom dad trope is he’s not an overgrown manchild that needs to be babysat by the overly stern wife. A wife that is only overly stern BECAUSE she’s married to someone who isn’t pulling his weight in the parenting department.

You think it’s cheap keeping a Portia di Rossi happy?

My suspicion is that it’s about both tears and tears (specific to one Kingdom).  These aren't fully voiced, so you can use text-based ambiguity.

I wondered the same. With the land floating around and all that, could very easily be [rips] in the kingdom. Maybe even portals/gateways, either for some enemy to get in, or perhaps even to use (what better way to quickly get above/under ground?).

:mindblown:

So is it tears, or tears?

I am a man, and a former middle and high school teacher. I stopped teaching mainly because of staggering disrespect from students, mainly middle schoolers. In many ways, I am unable to relate to many stories I read about other teachers. Stories like this really make the profession look bad. Unfortunately, as teaching…

Being a Parent, a lot of adults/parents are F***ing crazy. They seem to not listen to anything that does not affect their child first hand. Then after info about a situation is reported they wonder why the school didn’t do anything when the adult/parent had the information the whole time.

“Even the ones that said he was ‘creepy’ laughed, because they were obviously not trying to tick him off or anything. So they’re just fake laughing, awkwardly laughing.”

“It’s not an issue,” says the dog who finally caught the car.

My mom was born in the 1930s and the nuns and the teachers would beat her because she was left handed. To them, Being left handed was a sign of the devil. THAT is religion in schools and so is this abusive conduct by the State of Texas. People who bully children are monsters and need to be voted OUT. Also, my mom is…
