Saw the absolute best comiccon costume involving one of these yesterday - dude in trex suit was chasing around a guy CLEARLY dressed like Dr.Malcolm, carrying a ‘flare’.

If he did a Beyoncé and tripped but did not catch himself like she did, I’d be ok with that. If I’m awake during the halftime show, I might just watch at Lady Gaga’s show from last year. It set the bar really high for SB halftime shows.
As Justin Timberlake is unlikely to cough up one (1) nut for this evening’s Super Bowl viewers (as my colleagues…
I just sent this to my sister. It reminded me of when she got in trouble for disrespecting her 2nd grade teacher. The teacher was young, had just arrived from another state, and early in the fall she told the class that there were no more Native Americans on the East Coast. My sister remembers looked over at her …
Dear Baby Jesus and Baby Jesus’s Dad,
King Johnson, your journal entry is spot-on. Good job.
The “OK” knocked me out. It has to be the the step child of “I said what I said” This child is COMPLETELY unbothered by his teacher. It’s fabulous. And I have been trying to find a way to articulate what my mood for 2018 is and this child found it for me.
My husband wondered who “Richard Stands” was, and why he got a whole republic to himself.
Thank you!
Ah, yes. My home state’s song, about which once a year I get to tell people, “You really should hear the original lyrics.”
You’re missing the more important lesson here, which is that proper elbow cleaning is a key element of early skin cancer detection and treatment
What’s the statute of limitations for how long it can take someone to notice something before they can react authentically? Because I want to know how long I have to slowly steal money from you without you noticing before you’ll no longer be allowed to get pissed about it
I feel like you read a different article. His is overarching tone is “holy crap, look at this ridiculous shit I just found,” not “I am outraged and must be appeased by blood and destruction!”
This article does not sound all that outraged to me. I’m under the impression that Damon wanted us to appreciate the way that this statue has quietly aged from the kind of unexamined paternalism that was commonplace in Foster’s lifetime into a jaw-dropping piece of unintentional self-parody.
So you, someone who has never seen or driven by this statue at all and probably only know about it now thanks to this article, get to be upset about it, but someone who actually lives near it and sees it everyday isn’t allowed to be upset about it after also reading an article about it?
I agree. That statue is so over the top racist that you can’t really get mad at it. It also encapsulates the history of American popular music. It gets to stay. It’s racist, but it’s also honest.
We sang My Old Kentucky Home in glee club in N.J. in the 19490'-1950's. We had no idea what a darkie was. None. I guess we thought it was a blackbird of some kind. Little kids don’t ask. It was just a pleasant melody you could harmonize. Embarrassment came later.
He also composed the KY state song. Please find and read the lyrics. You will be amazed. They updated the song in 1986 and removed the second and third verses, just like the Star Spangled Banner, because they contain the most racist-ey parts.
