It's also a progressive/liberal hotbed. (People wonder how I grew up with my point of view in MO . . . mom & dad are both Wash U grads, with dad getting all 3 degrees there before we moved to a smaller rural school where he taught engineering.)
It's a 10 hour flight from DC to Moscow. I know I'll regret asking this, but what's the point of a 50-mile tunnel when the flight from DC to Nome alone is 12 hours?
I know, I know.
Years ago, I went out on the town with a buddy and a few of his friends, one of whom was a touring comedian. He was essentially a nobody. Nobody could hang with him in terms of any kind of back and forth banter, he was just way too quick and experienced at that. It was pretty eye-opening.
See for instance the delicious "al pastor" spit-roasted dish of Mexico, the predecessor of which was brought by Lebanese immigrants as "doner/shawarma". I celebrate all their catalogs.
I told them I have 2 students on the 40 acres right now. I admitted the older kid is too close to graduation for me to pull the plug (9 hours), but that I am encouraging my son to transfer, particularly since he wants to change majors and extend my largesse.
I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about the current comedy scene as you, but guys like Burr and Jeselnik (and previously Ron White) used to be my favorites. Burr can go fuck himself, what a fucking sellout. He didn't need $1.5m, are you kidding? I got pushback on a different thread for saying the same but I encourage everyone to let him and his management know he fucked up big time. I don't need any more sarcastic laughs in my life, asswipe.
Shit. A friend of mine plays in Ace's band. I came to know that guy through totally different channels, but I was an absolute KISS fanatic in middle school. Still one of my favorite bands. Guess I have a phone call to make.
Yeah, I'm sure the American consumer is gung ho to drive vehicles that get 8 mpg. Imagine a current vehicle that gets 24 mpg, driven 12K miles per year -- that's 500 gallons, or roughly $1500. Bump that to 1500 gallons and we're at $4500, or a $3000 hickey.
PER YEAR. Multiplied by probably 2-3 to account for the average household. Yes, please cut the price of the vehicle by say $3000 and then cost me $3000 per year for this "benefit". (Not to mention the price of vehicles won't drop a dime.)
These people are so fucking stupid.
It is going to be monumentally embarrassing when the results come back
Brown -- deny
Dartmouth -- deny
MIT -- deny
Arizona -- deny
Penn -- deny
USC -- deny
UT -- accept
UVa -- deny
Vanderbilt -deny
When UT accepts, even without an announcement, Trump will shout it from the rooftops.
The hardest class I took at UT was Nonlinear Acoustics. I'm trying to figure out how Greg and the boys will inject MAGA-friendly topics into that course, but I'm drawing a blank. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
I think Ruffalo has been fantastic and I have no problem with a second season featuring him and nobody else from this cast on a new case. Particularly Martha Plimpton.
