  1. Ruby's Two Sad Daughters In this land that knows no laughter, And this land that holds no water, We were all in love With Ruby's two sad daughters. One went way out west, One went way wrong. One left at seventeen, And the other couldn't wait that long. Neither went anywhere with me. Not to the games or the Dairy Queen. They split with the first boy who lied sweet And looked vaguely mean. _______________________________________ Love at the Five and Dime Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair She made the Woolworth counter shine And Eddie was a sweet romancer, and a darn good dancer And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
  2. My kid has his first race of the year this weekend. These are the highs. He's a seasoned Minnesotan, but I can't say I love the idea of him standing at the top of a hill in nothing but a race suit. *Reposting because I accidentally replied to the "travel" thread.
  3. I'm long since removed from being a resident of Texas, but can't imagine actually having to make contingency plans for the electric to go off for days in a cold snap. Wrapping/covering/dripping pipes, sure. But no electricity? Man, that sucks.

  5. Holy Hell! This whole takedown of Jordan is great, but wait for it...
  6. Holy Shit. Let's play "Spot the Rhetorical Fallacies" in this short clip. I've got: Hasty Generalization, Equivocation, Red Herring, Scare Tactics (duh, it's Fox), Post Hoc, Strawman, Begging the Question... How many of the people who believe her crap could define or provide an example of any of these, let alone spot them in real time? We're doomed.
  7. I don't have time to watch this whole debacle, can someone please give me a rundown on how it's going?
  8. This sounds really bad, and I hate that I'm saying this, but... meh. We already know that he kept his businesses, including his hotels, and that foreign diplomats frequently stayed at his DC and NY hotels. It's shady, for sure. I just don't see the breaking news aspect of it.
  9. Wordle 914 3/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  10. Agree that the trailer doesn't look great, but is that an indictment on the show, or the people who made the trailer? Hell if I know, but here's the trailer for The Pacific for comparison:
  11. "Remains to be seen" is such a weird phrase to me. It remains to be seen whether anyone can stay healthy, or refine a shot, or develop a defensive presence, stay out of legal trouble, or anything. It's literally in the future! Everyfuckingthing remains to be seen.
  12. Yeah, we all know PETA sucks. There's no need to feed a fed horse here.
  13. Cleaning shower stalls at a 24Hr truck stop. What do I win?
  14. Oh, they've got you covered.. https://www.peta.org/teachkind/lesson-plans-activities/animal-friendly-idioms/
  15. The thing is, there is actual evidence suggesting that shorter men are at a disadvantage in presidential elections. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1048984312000884 So, I suppose an argument could be made that Ron is doing this to overcome a societal bias, rather than his own insecurity. That argument would be bullshit (it's both) but you could make it.
  16. The article posted above explains it better than I could, but the bottom line is that he's not using custom made/modified boots. He's simply tossing in aftermarket heel lifts into his off the rack boots.
