  2. My gawd. I'd forgotten all about that one.
  3. But it was assigned Gulf of Mexico at birth.
  4. Are you suggesting the children should be back in power? Let's see what @realgreggym has to say about that.

  6. He didn't get schlapped down for groping Herschel Walker's campaign guy. Let's see if he does this time.

  8. Somehow, I missed this thread previously or skimmed over it, but I just spent some time going through this thread reminiscing old shows. One that immediately popped up in my head but hasn't been mentioned is the Twin Peaks theme. Yeah, it's not a rocking anthem or a hummable earworm, but it embodied the iconic and mysterious nature of the show pretty damn well. It's certainly memorable.
  9. It's the 2+2=5 test.
  10. It's not like I haven't given the guy and his brand of humor a shot or have dismissed the guy. In fact, I've watched every sketch of every season of ITYSL, and it's not like I don't appreciate absurd, irreverent, and clever wit. I just think he's kinda shitty at it -- at least to my satisfaction. I'll admit to not having seen The Detroiters, so I'll try to check it out and maybe change my opinion. Anyway, it's not a huge deal, and I'll likely watch this show when it comes out on streaming. I just wanted to chime in and let HOTB know he's not alone.
  11. Is it really an "extreme hypothetical" that Trump "feels empowered to violate federal law" while conducting his official presidential duties?
  12. @Ojo Rojo @TwiceHorn This is the argument @wildcat09 was referring to: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/seal-team-6-assassination-hypothetical-scotus-presidential-immunity/story?id=111583216
  13. In other Kid Rock news (yes, I know we have a thread about him somewhere but I'm too lazy to look it up): Kid Rock Throws Tantrum Because No One Clapped for Him During Guest Appearance: ‘F–k Y’all’ The singer appeared during Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan’s birthday celebration in Nashville over the weekend, but didn’t warm to the crowd’s reception At 54 years old, Kid Rock has not yet outgrown the tantrum-throwing evident in young children who don’t understand that other people’s celebrations aren’t about them. On Saturday evening, the musician stormed offstage at JBJ’s Nashville, where he made a special appearance during Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan’s birthday jam session. “Fuck them,” Rock said about the audience as he abruptly cut the band off. “If you ain’t gonna clap, we ain’t gonna sing. That’s how it’s gonna go.” The set continued from there, but only for a moment. Rock didn’t seem to be warming to the crowd’s lackluster reception. “You know what, fuck y’all,” he said. “You ain’t gonna clap, I’m gone.” Bryan continued to play with the rest of the band following Rock’s departure, and the festivities went on as planned. Rock has rarely shied away from throwing a fit. In fact, he embraces it, particularly when it comes to politics. “I’m part of the problem,” he told Rolling Stone last year. “I’m one of the polarizing people, no question. Sometimes I bitch about other people, then I look in the mirror and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, why don’t you shut the fuck up too?’” When asked if this attitude is a product of a broader impulse-control problem, he replied: “It’s a rich-guy issue. No fucks left. I’m not going to get it right every time, but I know my heart’s right.” Rock will embark on the traveling festival Rock the Country with Nickelback in 11 cities across America between April and July.

  15. You're not alone. I just don't get it. He's like a fucking one-trick pony doing a really annoying (AND LOUD) schtick, and I've been completely flabbergasted at his wide appeal. There's nothing remotely clever about it.
  16. Take it to the football music board. But, seriously, rap is fundamentally poetry with a beat. If that's not your thing, cool, but categorically stating that poets who engage in wordplay with a backbeat have "no talent" is pretty dumb. You can, obviously, tell me to shove that opinion up my ass, but I can also say the same to you. With that said, I hope we can agree that posters who copy/paste memes that depict Taylor Swift getting bent over (let's face it: raped) are more deserving of our attention and scorn.
  17. Just make sure you don't mess up some mundane detail in doing so.
  18. It's an interesting question, though, to think through hypotheticals. In Texas, the state charges 6.25 cents sales tax on every dollar spent. That's our baseline. If the store where you purchased an item is located within an incorporated community, you're guaranteed having another penny added to that tax. Moreover, Texas allows for jurisdictions to take up to an additional penny. So, most of us Texans do our shopping where the sales tax is 8.25 cents per buck. So, let's say you buy something for $0.99. The sales tax on that would be $0.081675, meaning the total price you, the consumer, would pay is $1.07. If done the Canadian way, you would then only pay $1.05. Who's losing those two cents? The store, the city, or the state?
  19. I just posted this in that awful Super Bowl thread where old white guys are complaining about rap and posting misogynistic memez.
  20. I won't get into your 4th and 5th lines, but the previous three hit the nail on the head. One final point on the neighbors taking in Palestinian refugees: they rightly point out that Israel will refuse Palestinians re-entry into their own land once the dust all settles, making them complicit in Israeli war crimes as part of some "deal."
