SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Struck up a conversation in the hotel bar, the guy turned out to be a photographer for an agency. He casually mentioned that I should look him up in the next couple days and he'd see what he could do to get me a better location.

"Photographers at the Olympics are the best in the world"

Limited functionality. "set timer for [anything more than 23h 59m]" fails.

I wonder what the potential is to weaponize this?

Those are North Dakota and South Dakota.

I just hope that the chip-and-PIN format the American banks decide to use is compatible with those already in use for the rest of the world.

Snipers with AK-47s? "Sniper" is a fairly specific role, not one you would normally find crawling around in a tunnel with a generally inaccurate automatic weapon.

Barnes Wallis would be proud.

Just as another instance of American vs. English, the River Thames and Thames River are, of course, pronounced differently.

If it were Pam Oliver and not Erin Andrews, would we be having this discussion?

Americans have such a short attention span and memory, this "incident" will be completely forgotten within 2-3 months, depending on the outcome of the Superbowl and how many media hacks keep dredging it up/rehashing it.

There are three sauces that will fix anything.

Strange to think that in November 1942, they had time/bandwidth (literally, /rimshot) to send cartoon pictures. You'd think something more war-related would have been the prime consideration.

Yay! Go for it! It also works on the shower door glass to keep water drops from forming; it is a more subtle message but sometimes that is the best way to go.

I too was in high school in the early 80s. We lived within 15 miles of four major defense sites and thus it was taken for granted that in the event of a wide-spread nuclear exchange, we were dead. Not much different than people living in Washington DC, I guess.

"Nuclear strike cruiser"?

I do a variation of this on hotel mirrors. I write "REDRUM" or "How YOU doin'?" ususally.

I've... never seen this picture before.

"...Her dislikes include feed tray stoppages, tracer flareout of her NVGs and premature fixed-wing strikes scattering her high-value targets."
