My problem was that I have a fear of exposed heights. That is, I can go to the top of a building without a problem. But if I step out onto a balcony on top of that building, my nuts turn to pellets and my heart explodes.

Are you in Syracuse, NY, by any chance?

Man, those weird TV cuts that actually put stuff back IN - I remember Star Trek II’s being like that.

The most concise answer to this question: the armed forces of a party to an international armed conflict, other than its medical and religious personnel, are entitled to prisoner of war status when they fall into the power of the enemy.

...I thought I heard that he has them painted white. *shudders*

“LEAN RIGHT!”

Anecdotally, seems to me that a fair few Upstate NY types are stopping in the Carolinas for retirement now too, instead of carrying on to Florida. (Admittedly, several have moved to be closer to kids who now liver there, but, it’s like, at least a minor trend amongst folks up here that I’ve known.)

Yeah, that whole stretch of Taylor, Gilchrist, and Johnson there looked ‘questionable’ at best to me - yes, their heads went down, but they looked like they were leaning in with their shoulders.

From the foldings of its robe, it brought two children; wretched, abject, frightful, hideous, miserable. They knelt down at its feet, and clung upon the outside of its garment.

Thank you for taking the bullet so I didn’t have to. I figured it was something like that, but wasn’t going to click the link to give ‘em traffic (or hurt my head).

Oddjob was of course, disallowed, so we had the race to get the Female Moonraker Elite. She might not’ve been quite as short as Oddjob, but she *was* shorter, and moved faster than Oddjob anyway.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just the angle, but I’m not quite seeing the Demarcus Ayers one. It’s like, he got low (looked like maybe he even slipped a little bit), but then the runner like fell over his head. 

Yep. I’m currently living in NY, but my parents’ house in MO was in the totality (for about 1m45s or so), so we made the trip. I only had so much time off work, so we had to leave soon after the actual eclipse ended (like, I was aiming for < 2 hours). Not as crazy, but we definitely spent a good extra 20mins-half hour…

Reminds me of his bit (think it was on the Late Show with Conan back in the day) about doing a show in Rolla, MO, where I went to college, and seeing the billboards that just say “JESUS” on the drive down there. I knew exactly the ones he was talking about...
