High school and college students don’t get paid anything.

HOT FUZZ is the best of the Cornetto Trilogy by a country mile.

Its what its called on another airline, I forget which. Possibly British Air.

No. Buy a fucking crockpot for $25 at Target and learn how to make winter-storm food like chicken and dumplings, American chop suey, beef bourgingon, chili, etc. Throw everything in the morning of the storm, start drinking at 11am, and ride out the blizzard on a sustained buzz and the smell of meat cooking in a wine…

Nothing. That’s them on the set of “How to Get Away With Murder”

So it would be great if there were “life” insurance policies that cover sudden tragedies while you’re alive— your medical insurance lapses and you get hurt/sick, you get in a car accident but couldn’t get car insurance, something happens to your home that your rental/home policy won’t cover, whatever.

Bleh, I’ll pass. Give me a thick milkshake with a large serving of brandy or rum in it and I’m good.

I take it by “motherly” she means in a Joan Crawford kind of way.

Zowie is his middle name, he went by it until he was 12.

Lucas’ secret weapon in the original trilogy — in STAR WARS in particular — was his (former) wife Marcia, who was the editor on all three movies. Your comment about the pacing in SW is right on. The pacing is excellent and she is the reason. She kept his worst instincts in check and turned out an incredible (as far as…

Yeah, I’d set up my parents for life — houses wherever they want, pied-a-terres in some nice cities for them to visit at their leisure and travel expenses, I think that would be the big extravagance. I’m really put off by the visible trappings of extreme wealth, that “new money” thing is really crass and tacky. For…

LOL yeah right. If I won the lottery, my attorney would give notice on my behalf and say all my fake goodbyes to my work-friends. Nobody there would ever see or hear from me again.

Considering that my primary problems in life are two:

That sounds like the bravado of people who have never even seen a gun in real life, never mind had one pointed at their heads.

Word. A teacher at my high school disappeared one day (like, vanished without a trace, the school only discovered he was gone after the third consecutive class period showed up and no teacher). There were always rumors that he’d had an affair with a student, etc. but of course we never really knew. At my 20 year…

I got my drivers license at 28. I never needed one growing up, and then moved to a very walkable city with great public transportation as an adult so it just never came up. I only got it because I had been laid off from work and had some time on my hands to take driving lessons!

Jesus. Fucking around with your endocrine system with no physician oversight is incredibly stupid. This impacts EVERYTHING in your body and it can take a few months for for your body to adjust to a new pill by a new manufacturer, to adjust to different levels of estrogen versus progesterone, and to identify that…

Mom can get up to 10 years, and if the prosecutor is successful in moving the case to adult court before he turns 19, so can he. Alternately, they can give him all 8 years of probation and if he violates it again he gets 10 years per person he killed — 40 years.

The amount of energy people expend being absolute shits to each other for no reason, they gain nothing from it, is mystifying to me.
