  1. If you know what I mean. Heh heh.
  2. Take that away, and they got nuthin. They'd turn into more normal people, but they hate that.
  3. I knew we were getting into trouble when idiot W announced that abstract enemy.
  4. I guess anyone who partiipates in recruiting has to be totally bought into everything Aggie and assume anyone exposed to a tradition like their fucking ring will be gaga over it. I can't see anyone reading that idiocy who isn't already an idiot.
  5. And this: If you're not already an Aggie, that's some lame shit. They better hope the water in Lake Bryan isn't toxic this weekent.
  6. I'll go a little subtler. The great Robert Mitchum's entry in the original Cape Fear. Cady introduces one of the most interesting characters in film to me. Part of me, as a male, admires how tough, cunning, and smooth he is. Part of me is repulsed by his easy slip into brutality (although I wish I were capable of that should a moment require it). He's brilliant. Anyway, the opening of the movie has an attractive woman overloaded with books. She struggles along and Cady appears on screen at right in a long shot. That confident swagger. As the woman attempts the stairs to the court house (I think that's where it is) we move in closer. Cady goes the same direction she does. At last, she fumbles the books. Cady strides on by without a second look. He just doesn't give a fuck. That's also one of his last lines in the movie. He terrified me when I first saw this as a boy. For me, he's one of the most memorable characters in film. As an actor, he so effortlessly conveys quiet, confident masculinity. He's a fucking man. This kind of brief intro to a character with no words is the best when it works. Lector stepping up from the back of his cell is brilliant as well. That's every element of filmmaking working together: set design, photography, script, director, costume, and actor are perfect in a second like that. I enthuse. Apologies.
  7. Goddamn. What does it say that he's lost Ramirez? He's probably their best cartoonist. Good for him.
  8. It will be due to our toxicity. We put worms in Sankey's head so we get easy schedules, crooked refs, and more promotion. We own/are the sweetheart of the media. And we have to buy players because nobody wants to use our horrid facilities. And few SEC Night Games!
  9. I don't know. With all the ice melting in the land of the Inuit, they may end up in the market.
  10. I imagine suicide mujahadeen are pretty amped up now. Thank goodness we have a brilliant persons in charge of Homeland Security and the FBI!
  11. That was me before I hit submit. The masses would rally.
  12. Ain't that the truth.
  13. That's a really great point. His leverage in the private sector was threatening not to pay. Brilliant!
  14. Nothing unifies a country more than attacking it. We jabber about Americans coming together whenever we cook up a reason to invade (liberate! just like France!) another country; it works both ways. We're idiots. So are they. Would you rally behind the European Union if they launched a major airstrike against the US? Killed lots of civilians?
  15. Like nobody's ever seen before.
  16. We'll sell 'em one for six dollars all fueled and loaded. We'll even locate the mercenary crew to fly it for them. They will continue to get everything they need from us. Biden didn't stop it; you know Dotard won't. And thanks, Bobby, for the info.
  17. Decapitating the military leadership, it seems to me, doesn't really have much longterm effect unless you are planning to engage that military right now on a broad front. The decapitation through air attack strategy doesn't seem to ever work otherwise. It's mostly a PR and fig leaf tactic it seems to me. It's likely it's the last reason, but it could portend of a more general attack through continued aerial bombardment or maybe navy then, somehow, army. I don't know how Israel could engage Iran on the ground. That's probably a good thing considering the size of Iran's military (I assume it's still big). It would be so strange in the course of my lifetime to go from seeing Israel as heroic to wishing them defeated. Their Gaza crimes merit defeat.
  18. Can anybody do the Liucci dick process on this video? Okay, I'll stop responding to every message on here. I cannot say how much I hate being associated with the actions of a brutal regime. I guess that goes for both Israel and the US.
  19. "Hamas was hiding there." = We'll blow up everything in Gaza until the place is depopulated by military action, famine, or hopelessness. "There were generals and nuclear scientists operating out of those Iranian hospitals." = Well, you know the drill. I wouldn't lift a finger to help Israel until they are pushed back into their original borders. Gonna run out of thousand pound bombs and spare parts for your jets? Fuck you. Need satelite intelligence? Fuck you. Air defenses inadequate to keep your population from having the Gaza experience? I hate it, but fuck you. Enjoy your little war, fuckwad. Trump will claim "credit" for all of this if it's successful. I think it's more the vicarious thrill of having your army smash other people than policy. He's that much of a monster.
  20. Exactly why they become cops. It's all under the guise of our good guy bad guy mythology. They're the good guys protecting us all. What a load. I bought into this mythology and all the other ones myself for such a long time. It's a weighty advantage for the fascists. I can't believe my position is now considered radical by the right.
  21. Peaceful protest becomes an underground movement in the United States. Great days.
  22. The only way t.u. can get players is with huge amounts of money to keep every recruit from fufilling his dream of being an Aggie.
  23. He's more of an Aggie parrot than a Longhorn. All in a vain hope to be Big Brother one day. I can't really go to rallies and protest. Maybe I'll put up a No Kings banner on the fence facing the ranch road. That will surely end my beloveds acquired friendships here in Johnson City. I don't talk to anyone but you guys and the beloved, so I'll be fine. Truly, compliments to you who will participate. Lifting the opposition to the anti-republic movement from talk to demonstration is excellent. Maybe the fascists will win, but you will sleep at night knowing you didn't tamely submit. Climate's probably gonna kill most of us anyway.
  24. Thanks, I'd missed this, I guess. Wonderful.
