Thanks, but no. Did you learn that from studying Freud? I don't want to say it, I just don't want it to be okay for some people to say it, but others using it in the same context are magically racist for doing it. I want people to USE THEIR FUCKING HEADS before they get butthurt about words.

We weren't that fancy. We were not a "white-glove" theater, nor did the owner wish to be. My boss was teaching me how to splice reels together the year I graduated from high school, which was also the same year I got my first portable CD player (1996). But I assure you, I flee an area if I hear The Brady Bunch…

I worked in a small theater when I was in high school (3 screens). I still cannot stand the Brady Bunch theme song as it played at the beginning and the end of the movie in the auditorium closest to the counter.

Are you mad? Do you want them to destroy us?

You could do a Van Helsing remake using the rules from those games. Werewolves almost always kick vampires asses, by the way. It would great to see a werewolf deal with the wyrm and the umbra.

I just want a Vampire movie based on the World of Darkness Camarilla/Sabbat conflict without all the liberties screenwriters take that make the creatures nearly invincible. Also, I'm so fucking sick of golden iris vampires.

And Spencer's Gifts.

The wait staff and cook generally do have a superior knowledge to the customer because it's their job. And if you are a customer that is an asshole to staff and makes a scene due to your own ignorance, you deserve public shaming.

This is why I decided not to make a career out of my love of cooking. I would be the owner who would make the news for yelling at the customer that "smoked salmon is cooked!!!" and telling him to get the fuck out of my restaurant and to never return. The customer is not always right. The customer is an asshole.

Great reading comprehension there. I really appreciate your feedback concerning my discomfort with being buffeted by a word I am not allowed to use considering racism comes with implied intent, and I would never use that word (and never have, to a PoCs face or behind their back). So if it's okay with you, I'll…

Not really. Remember, we threw Japanese Americans in prison camps and we actively tried to exterminate Native Americans, so I think you're wrong on that.

Additionally, the era the word is used during has an effect on the meaning of the word too. We're still in the era where aboriginals of most countries are still marginalized, including Native Americans, so no, Redskins is not an appropriate name for a football team, nor was it ever. I worked in a skilled nursing…

Heh, when I listen to a song I like that uses the that word, I never know whether I should sing along or cringe. It's really frustrating. Using the word in your music, which is sold to a wide audience, then decrying the use of that word by the part of your audience that doesn't share your skin color isn't really…

I really think people are more concerned about taboo words than the substance of his work.

Stephen Colbert is not transphobic.

In Madison proper there are about 200,000, but it's a metro area, so Fitchburg, Middleton, Monona and Sun Prairie all kind of run together, with the only noticeable space between Madison and Sun Prairie. The county population is about half a million.

It's great for it's size. The politics get in the way sometimes. The music scene is kind of lopsided due to the racism of the Alcohol License Review Committee (which has garnered some very vocal critics), but what is here is pretty good, and there's a talented band playing every night somewhere. There are so many…

Indeed it did.

Not always. Don't forget about those high profile unsolved murders...

The sad thing is that she allegedly organized the party for a friend's birthday and hired the DJ.
