  1. The funny thing is.....killing a dog may do more damage than slaughtering millions, trying to overthrow a government, massive crimes, etc. Think about it this way: when the news reports that a plane went down in Eastern Slobodia, killing 200 people, you think "well that's a bummer." When the story continues "and in the hold were 50 puppies on their way to be adopted -- all the puppies perished," most people think "OH NO, THOSE POOR PUPPIES!" That's how humans work. She could have said she shot a dirty mexican and dumped him in a gravel pit, and GAINED support. But shoot a dog? That's a no-no.
  2. I presume that in our discussion of kettle cooked chips, we covered the greatness of the various Zapps flavors? And of course, in the HEB thread, we discussed these amazing El Patio chips, which are the best store bought tortilla chips I've ever had:
  3. Eddie Murphy wants to know why he didn't go with Brut..............by Faberge.
  4. BUT CHINA! BUT COAL! WE SHOULDN'T DO GREEN ENERGY BECAUSE CHINA! Right? Isn't that the message?
  5. TRUMP - "PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!"* * This slogan not valid with respect to any promises Trump actually made.
  6. That's part of the story. But Canada and the UK really didn't have that same dynamic, and they're in a similar funding crunch.
  7. The forecast will shift that and dump it all over East Texas. Y'all know how this goes.
  8. That's also what is happening in other western nations. My two kiddos have attended university in other countries (Canada and UK), and those universities absolutely have that strategy: admit foreign students because their higher tuition helps pay the bills. U of Glasgow's student body is something like 25% Chinese nationals, which is a huge portion of the university's budget. How we fund higher ed in the west (and how those dollars are spent as well) is broken.
  9. Agreed....as to Twitter. As to Tesla....not so much. Massive things like the Elonplex fail two ways: very slowly, and then all at once. He is repeatedly shooting himself and his businesses in the dick, as you stand behind him repeating "masterful gambit, sir!" The simping is as funny to watch as is the ego-driven self-destruction.
  10. There's never a bad time for nachos and lovin'.
  11. At this point, I'm just sitting back and relaxing, watching the show as Elon drives Twitter and Tesla off the ledge in a moronic Thelma and Louise tribute.
  12. Yes. But she has a strong “no eating turd sandwiches” theology.
  13. I am perfectly fine with this thread diversion. It's the threadjack we need and deserve. Found this bad boy for sale for $19k: Or if you wanna go full burnt orange....nearly $40k...
  14. Bring it. We've got room in the back seat....hold on, lemme swing this super heavy giant seat back forward so you can get in...
  15. Peace through Kraco. A life slogan if I've ever heard one.
  16. Ding ding ding. Her incompetence is what gave her the idea for a path to satisfy her bias. "I'm too stupid to figure out any of these pre-trial issues. WAIT...that will be a PERFECT excuse to do what I want to do....delay this trial forever! My stupidity is brilliance!"
  17. Good sir, my cordoba will be late 70s vintage, with the latest in sound system technology....and of course, rich Corinthian leather. I'll let you pick out the air freshener to hang from the rearview mirror, though.
  18. You bring the cassettes, we'll work 'em into the rotation. We got nothin' but time, man. Nothin' but time.
  19. I did that the first few times, and had great success. When I tried to run the exact same play several years later....and got ZERO movement....I started using a pro.
  20. Would I proudly drive that sonofabitch today? You bet your fucking ass I would. With the windows down, cranking some Jethro Tull. Maybe some Thin Lizzy.
  21. You sniff it like a man. If it doesn’t make you gag, it’s still good. Sometimes, that’s the wrong call. Real men take risks. Do not go quietly into that good night, gents. Rage…RAGE against the spoiling of the meat.
  22. That has been one of the most amazing leaps in weather technology in the last 20 years or so: most of the time, they can accurately warn of a tornado/likely tornado in enough time for people to actually take shelter/get out of the path. It's amazing. Science, fuck yeah.
