  1. It was William Shatner in the goblin original. That probably had the most terrifying moment for me watching as a child.
  2. Join the people who've joined the well regulated Militia!
  3. For anatomical accuracy, only. Mushroom or zucchini, the "man" should burn.
  4. Good post, I merely recommend a change in verb voice. Trump is impulsive and really not a very good checkers player. Now, for the first time, he's knocked well off balance. None of the usual dull-minded tricks have worked with his dull-minded but stubborn followers. Lying, deflecting, pronouncing the story dead, and railing against enemies of the state had been, literally, fool-proof. How many of his actions are really considered other than hiring flunkies with his same non-existent moral code? Trump's anxious and getting angrier. He ignores good advice because he knows more about anything than anybody. He is set up here for a disastrous decision. Should Trump outrage his followers with the pardon of a teenage girl sex trafficker, there will be an opening for the only relevant political party to oust him. They'd rather be in control than have an outsider such as Trump pulling the reins of the hate engine they've hitched their criminal organization to. The GOPs are not all Trump loyalists. I would wager few of them are. They sell their souls; they don't dedicate them. Oust Trump and you have someone less bombastic but equally wicked. Vance. He can't command as Trump does. The GOPs are back on track with their fascist plans. They've even been moved further down the line by President Shitty Pants Dumbass. Trump shouldn't pardon Ghislaine "Lucky" Maxwell, but he surely can.
  5. I read that and saw one of the documentaries. Epstein's jail time was a joke where he came and went between his cell and his home practically at will.
  6. I think there's something to this. Trump's brazeness and overconfidence (hubris) may bite him on this one. His usual dodges about old news, Biden, denial are not working. I think you may have good point about the pardon. I guess raping teenage girls is a line some of them won't cross. A lot of his followers like conspiracy theories, this would be a real conspiracy for them to chew on. I don't know that it would save the republic, but it would be gratifying to find an end like Lonesome Rhodes in a Face in the Crowd for Donald Trump. That movie and Network are prophecies.
  7. I think I'm going to be sick. The fact that that is well within the realm of possibility today penetrates my attempted detachment.
  8. The world has changed. Try to see it. You assume that they have some kind of winning move. They don't. We need to find new avenues of resistance to the murder cult. That, or we can keep laying around on our nuts hoping somebody else saves us.
  9. The world does not recognize nor reward victories of inaction. I questioned HW Bush's refusal to finish off Iraq. The instrument is in place, excise the malignancy. There was a rare occurence to test HW's decision when W decided to brind down Saddam. What a fucking disaster. In this case, the Dems best move may be to play it cool. The chosen defense of the would-be empire is to accuse the Dems of conspiracy. As long as this story remains a big story pursued by the press, the victims, Q-anon, the decent, and the people, the Dems need not go shrill and give any more weight to the absurd accusation that they are the bad guys here. Only Dems are listening to the Democratic Party. What was once politics is now a war zone. Think of it as Ukraine having a movement to oust Selenskyy. Does a Russian ad campaign help this? No. In politics, you would think (correctly) that ousting a GOP president for the most odious of crimes would lead to people leaving that party or, more importantly, the idiot undecideds being moved to switch their votes. Think Nixon. In war-politics, you just replace the general. You don't even consider going over to the side of or voting for the enemy. The GOPs created the hate engine that put them in power, not Trump. It will still be there waiting for the next slimeball. Destroy Trump, yes! Thinking the Dems can do it? No.
  10. Welcome, Ghislaine. The president waiting for you.
  11. His first year didn't go well, but I won't be like an Aggie talking about Sark's first year as though it was defining of the future. He couldn't get his team to the SEC championship game. I'm not great judge of in-game coaching, but had the Aggies been worthy of that, they would have found a way to win an SEC night game. They couldn't even stay ranked and ended up being an other team receiving vote. One vote. It's not promising, but I don't know what will happen any more than you do. He's all in on being an Aggie and they will get increasingly annoying, but I see nothing to dislike about the guy. He's a great subject for amateurish comedy writing.
  12. Man likes to enjoy his drink in peace.
  13. You're agreeing with my point, cutey. He overcompensates by shitting on Texas because he's a grad and wants to prove he's not a homer.
  14. I'm a fat fuck with terrible knees. I hated watching him because I'm expecting a blowout any second.
  15. Aren't we just kidding ourselves that such a finish will take the sting out of not being in top 3 in June? I guess it's an okay consolation prize, but let's not lie to ourselves. June recruiting is where it's at.
  16. I was going to lay off these for awhile, but Olin won't let me. You can bet that Olin did his homework on this article. Let's see what we learn! Tell me something I don't know. Hmmmm. Okay. I'm sure you're building. Cue the insight! Gettin' shaky, Olin. You're supposed to be bringing the ol' Nabou Jr. into focus. In summary, A&M could be one of the best, but look out for Alabama. Even so, A&M could have the best line in the SEC. Has there been another conference realignment, Olin? On Nabou, another recollection from last season about him scoring. You're losing focus in your focus. We're halfway through. Olin scratches his head and leans into the mic. Here it comes. Professional sportswriter insight: You astonish me. Surely you got something. Run out the clock, man. Platitudes. Lean into plattitudes. Last graf. Psychotic breaktime: Not even a theme.
  17. The video shows a man capable of enjoying life and happiness. I wouldn't trade that for memories of my career (such as it is). I think I'd celebrate the happiness rather than lament the lost memory. It's not common in my experience. I'm glad for Willis. All we can really hope for is for things to go as well as they can under whatever circumstances await us.
  18. Too many heads still connected to too many chickens.
  19. If he says nice things, the idiots will likely give him another extension.
