“For instance, the Quincy High School football team in Plumas County has to play the rival team from Etna High School in Siskiyou County.”

Not sure about the “has to” there.

If Jerry Falwell denounces you, you’re doing something very very right.

“adding to the sense that this is a wild, absurd reflection of our own world”

Much like Florida.

Yeah, when I was growing up, my mom was huge into healthy food and cooking, so we had a lot of tofu but it wasn’t treated the way it should have been, so I didn’t think much of it.  (Not my mom’s fault; she’s a very good cook, just didn’t quite click back then on how to do tofu right.)  Later on in life I learned how…

Honestly, I was very disappointed to learn it wasn’t the Ridley Scott version.

And, to provide a counterpoint, thank you for that.

“Whether this decision came from Feige’s genuine fidelity to the story or because Downey would never agree to it, we may never know.”

Definitely bad news for Telsa.

That’s getting into No True Scotsman territory, so it isn’t really worth continuing down that path.  Agree with the conclusion by Mercatus there, which is also the conclusion of our OP here.

Nothing the most fervent freemarketeers hate more than the prospect of a more-free market that actually will assess their value.

Either way, it’s certainly “dumber.”

“Jurgen! None of us could believe it when the idiosyncratic German bit it in the penultimate episode. The man seemed like a lock for the final from the beginning.”

Definitely the biggest shock until just this past week when another heavy favorite bit it in the semis.

In the meantime, if anyone wants more of a good Venom simulator, play 2009's Prototype.  Good game in itself, and about a quarter of the way into it I realized that you’re basically playing Venom in every way.

So noted in the official record.
