Yeah, we seem to be in the same boat, overall. Hell, I might watch it now, actually.

When I was in the third grade, our schoolyard was a marvel. It was all sand, had a giant hill that was enormous to me at that age, and at the centre, a gigantic tree shaped like a throne. We would play Power Rangers at recess, and at one point unearthed a sceptre-shaped piece of wormwood. Pretty much the entire school…

Pfft. Man never grabbed a crotch in his life.

Not going to lie. While I still find that joke amusing, I'm ashamed to say that I'm not 100% sure I get it.

THAT'S IT!! THAT'S WHAT I SHOULDA SAID!!

I could be wrong about the location of the home, and could be confusing it with the cottage. I still find the ending to be jarringly out-of-place, and don't see whatever commentary they were going for, but I obviously could have been wrong, and will look for that in re-watches.

Wow. I had no idea.

I had a friend who actually justified his always needing a ride everywhere on lowering carbon emissions, along with looking down on people who drive. This person credited himself on being a 'navigator' and also basically refused to work, and when he finally got his licence a year or so ago, spent the lion's share of…

My uncle is the same way. A chess grandmaster (I believe I'm not misusing that term) and borderline genius, but scared to drive. I failed my test the first time and was briefly resigned to the same fate, but thankfully got it together fairly quickly.

One thing that strikes me is that the guns firing on the boats and parachutes of Normandy were largely from teenagers. I'm certainly on board with the notion that associating present-day Germans with Nazism is an out-and-out slur.

I feel strange saying thanks, but thanks. We're not the sort of neighbourhood where everyone knows each other, and I've likely never formally met him, but my family does, and moved where they live when he was an infant. My mother used to work in education, and between her and my youngest brother, they know everyone…

It's a hiccup to have your thoughts erased. His uncle is a developmentally disabled - beloved - fixture of my town. My neighbour. I have a niece and nephew, and could not even conceive how I would take this. Haven't seen him since.

Well, accidentally refreshed the page and lost the entire thing of the closest I've come to articulating one of the most unsettling things to me, personally.

I stopped smoking weed for mostly practical reasons that just grew into a natural dislike. I came home from college in the city with legal drinking age in hand to a small town where whoever had it was young and dumb enough to arouse suspicion from small-town cops with nothing better to do. Not that alcohol is…

In fairness, most network and cable television is secular, and free to criticize and ostracize Christianity. You're correct that America is a majority Christian nation, but it isn't unreasonable to view Hollywood and entertainment media in a sort of court jester light. If you think television and film over the last 40…

That numerical fact struck me a year or two ago. In terms of 'otherness' and pent-up aggression and hostility, it sort of makes sense, in a tragic way.

*My apologies to the world for thinking something is clever when I've been drinking.*

Or at least set to 'low'. Whatever. My friendly bad, I guess. Great use of ellipses, though, as all is obvious.

That makes sense. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be abrasive , I just took some issue with the original tone. I'm personally a fan of Christopher Nolan's handling of Heath Ledger's Joker. Respect for a real person who died. No mention of the character ever again. That's trickier with Princess/General Leia, but her absence…

Or something less silver-tongued, perhaps.
