  1. I don't think I've ever seen one in flight, but that engine has to be incredbly loud, right?
  2. Man, the things I heard . . . what an embarrassment.
  3. Why exactly was Rory the target of all that vitriol? He seems a decent guy. Then again, I'm a libtard.
  4. I'll check it out, thanks.
  5. *buttholes
  6. Wait . . . the radicals on the right are radical because they abhor crime?
  7. The Passion of the Christ wasn't enough?
  8. The greatest sasnakrA story ever told.
  9. That government would rock.
  10. The thing that always struck me about those two images was the innate knowledge that Nikolai Yezhov (at Stalin's left) didn't make it. I looked it up -- yep. Executed a few years later.
  11. I'm not old enough to have been subjected to an actual draft, or even to feel the pressure to join. I honestly can't wrap my head around the intersection of patriotism, stress and fear these guys experienced. Ultimately, anyone who served in those environments should be praised, no matter how they arrived there, but holy shit, some went through more than others.
  12. Delaware Subs has taken a giant dump. They're down to one location in NW Austin and for the life of me I can't figure out how they haven't been flagged for multiple health code violations. It's too bad, their original cheesesteak was pretty legit.
  13. This is the crux of it all. I was raised a progressive Protestant (Presbyterian). I harbor no ill will towards Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, etc. Based on admittedly limited experience, I don't think LDS beliefs overall align all that well with Christian beliefs, but that matters not one bit to me. I don't hold my Muslim friends to that standard, for instance. Just stop killing people. Full stop.
  14. lulz at Sark saying "Auburn Alabama" before correcting to "Auburn A&M". Cue 50/50 Aggie outrage ("sip coach doesn't know who we are") and pride ("even our enemies see us as formidable as Alabama, SEC!!!").
  15. Beach volleyball doesn't suck, but I still haven't heard anything about Mosley.
  16. Well, they're not drinking merlot.
  17. Not my only reference point, just a snapshot.
  18. I just looked at Rolling Stone's top 100 list, and Fogerty was roughly #30 of the American entries. That's crazy.
  19. I'm not sure I've ever seen him in a Top 5 list. Maybe I'm just wearing blinders, but mostly I see the usuals like Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Petty, etc. All worthy of the praise, but I'd put Fogerty up against just about all of them.
  20. I think it IS a mental health issue, as in "the American gun fetish is a mental health issue".
