  1. Ugh. It does not seem like things are trending positive for him.
  2. Ron Swanson became the most popular/iconic character in Parks & Rec. The show wasn't built around him. What's a side character? That's the question. In Seinfeld, it's literally everyone outside the main 4. Same with Always Sunny (main 5). Those shows seem easy to delineate. P&R? Arrested Development? The Wire? In a true ensemble how far down do you have to go?
  3. Are these guys side characters? Not in BCS, but in BB?
  4. The Wire is even more this way. I have a really hard time calling anyone a main character. Maybe D'Angelo and Stringer? Griggs? Just too many various plot lines and entities within that universe for me to say any one character stands above.
  5. Paulie Walnuts is definitely one of the best.
  6. The only main character in Parks & Rec is Leslie. IMO. In AD it’s just Michael and maybe George Michael.
  7. Some of my favorites are already in, but...
  8. Those are sick.
  9. I think this one is different, but your point definitely stands.
  10. Jack shit will come from this because they’re just going to deny it and act like it’s been falsified. Im not arguing this will matter to his supporters or bring about consequences. Im just predicting the specific MAGA talking point that will be used to keep the sheep in line.
  11. You’re overthinking it. ”Fake news!”. That’s it. That’s the bit.
  12. They’ll just scream “fake news”
  13. We studied the wreck for several days in my 6th grade social studies class. The only part of that class I still remember.
  14. It was painful watching people in the Shithouse Wire Facebook group screeching about how drugs played no part in this. I don’t know why people want to believe that.
  15. We used to have some guys wear a red helmet as a special reward when our base helmet was gold
  16. I've met Missouri Synod Lutherans. Y'all got your crazies too.
  17. It's not personal, I just think most well-organized denominations are more concerned about money than anything else. It's not a particular aspersion towards Mormons (well, besides wanting to whitewash the history of racism). I can't think of a single corner of Christianity that isn't guilty of some absolutely heinous shit at an organized entity level. Maybe the Episcopals and Methodists come out unscathed, but that would be about it (I'm Catholic FWIW and lord knows there's enough evil perpetrated by that organization).
  18. Does it have to be available nationwide to be a macro lager? If so, Coors Banquet. If not, Grain Belt Premium.
  19. That you, Jerry Fallwell?
  20. I'm just saying they're better than Baylor and Liberty. Not the highest of bars. I'm not sure Baptists and Evangelicals do any good to offset the bad. Sorry if I'm CRing here.
  21. I understand that the LDS Church is trying to whitewash it's image in order to grow it's membership and make more money at the end of the day. I just don't think that level of calculation applies to the average person. I tend to be a little pollyannic and give individuals too much credit.
  22. I just meant that it's complicated how people can have the capacity to be complete pieces of shit in one moment and then legitimately decent in another. Our brains are wired to want a simple "good/bad" dichotomy but so many people/entities exist in a muddled middle, capable of both.
  23. They raised a bunch of money for a local charity in Ames when they were in town a few weeks ago. There's some really reprehensible shit in the Mormon Church with their treatment of racial and sexual minorities, but they also seem to have an immense capacity for doing meaningful good in the world. People are complicated. I think BYU definitely generates more good in the world than some of the other problematic Christianity based universities.
  24. "Hey college kids! Stop having fun! Pretend you're bored with being good! Take the joy out of life!" Jesus Christ.
