Same, my mom sent my brother and I to summer school in the neighboring town just to get us out of her hair (and to reduce the time we had to inadvertently re-enact Lord of the Flies out in the forest), and the classes were all fun stuff like tennis, basketball, various art courses, etc., though I do remember taking a…

Bud is bad enough, but Tecate?!  Jesus wept.  

Could be worse, when we were kids a cop pulled over one of my younger cousins for biking along the wrong side of the road. It was along a 200-yard stretch, between her house and our grandma’s, of decommissioned state highway in bumfuck rural northern Wisconsin, and probably didn’t see more than 3-4 cars an hour on…

Ok, but hear me out: what if you’re, like, Gheorghe Muresan and you remove the front seat and telescope the wheel all the way out?

Hmm, I’d think it was more of a Tenet situation and that the future was attacking the past.  

Your grasp of history is non-existent. Without piling on regarding your inane and absurd supposition re: Christian-Jewish relations during this timeframe as so many other posters have already corrected you, I’ll just add that your belief that there existed any form of Christianity OTHER than “Catholicism” during the…

Another email exchange described Kentucky as “Oxytocinville,” parodying the Jimmy Buffet song.

Honestly, I haven’t been this proud of electronics consumers as a collective since the strangling of the DIVX format in its crib back in ‘99. Good job, everyone!

LOL, for all his macho survivor talk about boxes of shotgun shells and jerry cans of diesel, his auxiliary chin suggests that he’s actually far more interested in prospective trades involving a large pepperoni with extra cheese.

As long as we’re dreaming, the only RTS game I have ever truly loved, on any platform, was Herzog Zwei...

Yeah, pretty much, and it sucks for those of us who have no interest in selling. I live in a small ultraremote Rust Belt city, and even here the place I bought less than 2 1/2 years ago has already officially appreciated by about a quarter. I was just on the phone with the assessor’s office on Monday bitching about…

Yeah but that’s basically from Chapter 1 of the GOP Field Operations Manual, “Patriotic-Themed Hypocrisy for Fun and Profit.” It’s how you get Dubya saying shit like “either you’re with us or you’re with the terrorists” just two generations after Prescott fucking Bush was a central player in the Business Plot.

There are 200,000 coyotes in Arizona alone, the prey species’ instincts will be fine.  

Ah, missed it, my bad.  Claire is awesome, as usual.

I’m going to go out on a limb and posit that you’ve never been to France... :-)  

But didn’t Dean and Gene Ween prove this incontrovertible fact back in ‘94?

On the plus side, it’s refreshing to see the Jaguars just up and embrace their natural role as the NFL’s equivalent of the Washington Generals.

LOL, you’ll love this one: back in 2015 I interviewed for a position (or a pair of positions, as it turned out) at the in-house legal department at Menards, a large regional home improvement chain in the Midwest. When they told me the starting salary wage (let me be accurate, the remuneration was explicitly hourly,…

C’mon, dude’s name is Jack Bauer. If anything, the fucking water is lucky it’s still there.  He probably garroted a shark before he even resurfaced.
