Pixar should do an animated feature along the lines of Dispicable Me, but staring him. Make it an actual sequel to his last appearance in the bond films, with Jaws having to come out of retirement because his kid has grown up to be a superspy and has been captured by an insane bondesque villain.

Well, not their children’s well being, their children will get the best coverage money can buy. It’s the children of anyone who’s not rich that will get fucked over, just as Jesus wanted.

I didn’t find out until years after the fact, but my very right wing, fox news watching uncle (wealthy farmer with a huge hog operation) had one of his sons on the payroll as a minimum wage farm hand so the son could collect welfare benefits and food stamps for his family (wife and kid) The same son later took over…

Knights of the Dinner Table had a storyline based on a parody of this game. Their version was a wargame that replicated the entirety of WW 1 at the same level of detail. It came in a footlocker and was so expensive that it never sold at all. IIRC the owner of the game shop had a copy and he and Brian had been playing…

Is the owner getting paid for the use of the property? I would hope they would get reimbursed for the lost revenue from the canceled events + a chunk. Also it’s too bad that the track employees can’t be hired as part of the clean up crew. It’s not a permanent gig but better than nothing.

Hell I’d have let her go from that position just based on her failure to understand how posing shit on Facebook can bite you in the ass.

Look, I’m not saying that we can definitely stop the hurricanes via human sacrifice to the Gods of weather, but I will point out that we need to explore every option, and CC deniers are right over there...

Not having flown in a long while, is there any indication when you’re trying to print as to the SSSS status? Can you see it on the electronic copy of the pass?

My parents owned group homes for many years and when they started these vans were the only real option for transport. My mom always hated them because not only did they handle like crap, in the hands of staff they were rolling dent collectors. (and somehow nobody ever knew how said dents got there...) The tires also…

And always with a stupid fucking hat. Baseball caps are the least offensive headgear these assholes wear, and the ones in baseball caps look like shit. The ones in fedoras or trilbys somehow manage to look worse than a 5 foot 9 pile of shit.

That’s what I thought as well. I have relatives who are serious as a heart attack about not putting symbols and idols above god, and so refuse to stand and do the pledge.

I would hope so, I mean if they can make “cannot use a computer” a term of probation for a sex offender who contacted his victim online, then “Can’t upload or share videos online” seems like it should be feasible.

I read this book as a kid and the lessons remain to this day.

There was a guy who called our library and was furious because he had returned some books, but we had sent the library ninjas to sneak them back into his apartment so he would get a fine.

Reminds me of the time a patron asked me the difference between fiction and non-fiction. To this day I’m not sure they fully understood the answer.

On a semi-related note I remember a bit in some military sci fi novel where the bad guy aliens dismissed the humans as not properly warlike because their battleships were all named after cities and landmarks instead of having properly fierce names like skullcrusher, meanwhile the heavy battleships Stalingrad, Rorke’s…

2004-2005, so not old just hard living.

One of the joys of working at a great library is being able to peruse the bound magazine collection and look at stuff like Vogue from all eras of it’s existence. Fascinating stuff.

OK who else was thinking that the guy was making CG porn of dead celebrities fucking and forcing his employees to watch it?

So your contention is that I simply haven’t been inconvenienced enough, and once I am inconvenienced sufficiently I’ll set aside my moral compass and be OK with wishing violent death on the people who inconvenience me? Yeah, no.
