  1. Meanwhile, MAGA types are trying out as the latest drummer for Spinal Tap.
  2. That shit was the closest thing I'll see to the Hindenburg Disaster reporting in my lifetime. "Burning flesh and accelerant . . . ."
  3. All similes are a type of metaphor, but not all metaphors are similes.
  4. To say nothing of Mick's guitar-holding abilities.
  5. Couldn't have seen that coming from this bastion of empathy. Or relishing living in a house free of Trump's McFarts.
  6. Well, you see, there was no time to wallow in the mire.
  7. It keeps people betting no matter how the "market is doing." It's like free drinks in a casino.
  8. It's off-track betting in a fancy frock.
  9. So I see we're doing fire songs:
  10. Surly: Why is it taking soooooooo loooonnnng!!!!!!
  11. Yet he makes it up daily.
  12. If he succeeds in being driven to the Capitol, he takes one look at that fracas and stays in the car and asks to be driven to a safe location. I stand by my previous what if statement. He is not a courageous enough person to go in with his "troops." But throwing a tantrum is right in line with his personality. This assumption on my part makes him no less responsible for it all. But the man is a coward in my estimation. He purportedly wouldn't even fire people (outside of a game show). He always got others to do it. As to the game of What If, there are no winners. To quote Joshua, "The best move is not to play."
  13. Trump was perfectly happy back in his air-conditioned enclosure playing on his phone. He wasn't going anywhere near the fray. First whiff of tear gas and he would have turned on his heels if he even had gotten out of the car. He had to have the streets cleared of protesters so he could have his picture taken with the Bible. The scenario you present is indeed terrifying. But he never had and never will have the balls to put himself in danger of any physical harm or being that close to his ilk when they are all tuned up and shit gets real. He's not walking in and seizing anything. He's not willingly going within 200 yards of the Capitol (even riding in the back of The Beast) when that shit was going down. He's a shit-poster. He's a meme stock. He's not Patton or Omar Bradley.
  14. It's the logical extension of the Simpsons did it! bit from South Park.

    RIP Dickey Betts

    Blue Sky was on more mix tapes (not just mine) in college than I can even count.
  16. It's not implied. They are approached after trading subsides and are told, "Margin call, gentlemen."
  17. Counterpoint: I give you The Jury of the Damned: John Wilkes Booth, Lizzie Borden, John Dillinger, Blackbeard, Benedict Arnold, Richard Nixon ("but I'm not dead yet"), and the starting lineup of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers.
  18. The existence of smart phones would gut quite a few movie and tv show plots that were written before they existed. Dude, Where's my Car is a 10-minute movie if set in a contemporary time period. Harold and Kumar Uber to White Castle, anyone?
  19. Most of his peers are in prison on his behalf. So . . .
