Moby Dick needs a readers guide that tells you all the pages you can skip because they have no impact on the story. Like all the chapters on the types of whales or sailing knots.

Somewhere out there, Andy Black is looking around nervously.  

If you’re talking about the stay in a hotel and go to a theme park for a week type of vacation, I get it.

He had a shot at being a mainstream Hollywood director. Could have been directing MCU movies instead of talking about them on YouTube. He blew it and had to fall back to doing small independent movies like Red State and Tusk.

Nothing is immediate or personally understandable until you experience it yourself.

Basketball is popular with low-income communities because it has a very low barrier to entry. Every park has a court. And someone will have a ball. If you can’t afford a ball, just hang around the park and you can still get into a game.

Kevin Smith’s fall is due to two things:

And there you have it. The female lions want the strongest male mate possible to have the strongest offspring possible. So, if a new male enters their territory and is able to defeat their current male (killed or driven off), they immediately accept that new male into the pride. And any weak male is driven off.

Missing facts:  The facility in question is equipped with standard prison plumbing fixtures, which is a one piece toilet with a sink on top of the tank.  The sink water is potable.  The guards instructed the women to drink from the sink attached to the toilet.  Possibly due to language barriers, that message was…

Situation handled completely wrong.

Ghosts in general are kind of boring. In any “real” ghost story, they’re just kind of around acting creepy, but can’t actually hurt anyone.

 Before the Internet, you would have to pay for an archivist to find what you want and then pay for a copy to be reproduced.  

I’ve got some bad news for you......

Get a cheap box grater. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and pry open all the holes on the largest side of the grater. Just shove the tip of the pliers in and expand the holes. You want thicker strips of potato than you show in your photos.

Replace their chair with a yoga ball. 

It goes deeper. Those existing casinos are all operated by casino conglomerates. Even Mohegan Sun in Connecticut which is owned by the Pequot Nation is actually run by a conglomerate out of Las Vegas.  Those companies are well aware of the market issues and had a hand in supporting preventing another casino from…

Honestly, the northeast has too many casinos right now to too few casino customers already. Atlantic City is almost dead. There are 2-3 casinos in Pennsylvania that are an easy ride from NYC. Two major casinos in Connecticut. A slot machine casino in NYC and another one on Long Island.  And they’re all struggling to…

The point is communicate, communicate, communicate. If you’re afraid your actions are going to be misinterpreted then talk and keep talking.

A while back I read a blog post from a white gun owner who was legally carrying a firearm. He went into a convenience store and was making a cup of coffee when a female police officer spotted the shape of a gun in a holster at the small of his back, under his shirt. She drew her firearm and began issuing conflicting…
