This sentence sure does: “People live incompetently, then try bullying or guilt to solve the problem they created for themselves.” 

They used to, but now (or at least as of the last time I flew SW) they do families after A group, before B.  This has little effect - there are still plenty of seats together for families, they’re just a bit further back, which works fine.

It’s odd, but I’m really starting to think that a lot of venture capitalists/investment bankers are just plain dumb as shit.

Supposedly Ron Howard was working on it before getting sidetracked by Solo, so who knows if/when.

And before that it was called The Sixth Day.

Trump is orange and extremely obviously not an actual churchgoer.  Anglo-Saxon, I suppose partially for the reason you state.

I’m glad it worked out for him in the end.  There’s still a part of 15-years-ago me that wishes he hadn’t gone straight to the NBA, and hadn’t snubbed Illinois for Duke even aside from that, and had been a one-and-done freshman on the 2004-5 Illini.  THAT would have gotten them past UNC, dammit.

Sure, now that craft/microbrewing is big here, I suppose.

When have any of us ever been subtle about being lawyers, though?

Oh, it wasn’t that florid.

I rewatched The Running Man over the course of the past week, and if that’s not what the producers of AG pulled a lot of their inspiration from then I’ll eat my hat.

MXC and Ninja Warrior are excellent as well.  Wipeout is great, and it’s essentially live-action Super Mario stages, which we need more of in this crazy world.

It’s basically Ninja Warrior with large people flinging shit at you, and the point is that yeah, I would definitely be in for that as well.

I also liked the part where the winner of the season became a Gladiator for the next season, although right now I can’t remember if that was actually new for the revival or if the original also did that.  It felt new to me then, anyway.

Tebow’s nanny’s significant other, I believe.

Not without giving up your amateur triangle-clicking status.

“Couple of seconds” - ha!  It’s longer than you think, godspeed aquaboy!  Longer than you think!

“Any further and I just know I would turn into the kid at the end of “The Jaunt.””

Nice pull.

“tire tracks would not have been unusual around the pond”

I daresay that tire tracks leading directly into the pond would still have been unusual, but I agree in general that any such tracks were probably wiped out by construction vehicles regardless.
