“I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls.
The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.”Sagan-1995

“We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Carl Sagan -The Demon Haunted World (1995)

I remember when I was a kid, I was getting out of the theater with my parents when a mugger came up and tried to steal my mom's pearls. My dad tried to fight him but they both ended up getting shot and dying. Since then I have sworn an oath to pursue justice against all evildoers. I will add this lighter and gas pump technique to my repertoire.

Well fuck! I know exactly where this was located. You went to Tascosa High, unless you moved. Fart and Fetchum indeed.
I usually didnt get to play the game as I was getting a cartoon of cigs for my grandma, one of the grumpy old folks you described above.
I once punched a kid for taking my younger cousin bike and ended up, no joke, fighting his dad.
He was fat and really slow.
Nope, Caprock. We did often pick up smokes there for my friend’s mom though.

Grand Ave does go to SE Amarillo with a Toot there about a mile S of I-40.
That’s the one. Right by 27th.
Although I think they’ve rebuilt it since then

Grew up in Southeast Amarillo (not the swanky southwest side). There was a Toot n Totum (local convenience store chain) about a mile from our house we'd ride our bikes to, taking shortcuts down alleys and vacant lots, dodging crazy dogs, and angry old people who didn't like us riding across the lot next to their house. At the Toot n Totum, or as we referred to it, Fart and Fetchum, they had a little room with a couple arcade games that would rotate. I remember playing Spy Hunter, Tiger Heli, 1942. When we ran out of quarters, we'd shoplift a few pieces of super bubble (allegedly),then ride out into that hot, dry, dusty wind like the badasses we were, now headed for the lot that had the sweet jumps.

But, to be clear, the public penetration rating for them is 200 feet of earth or 60 feet of reinforced concrete. Being able to penetrate 200 feet of reinforced concrete would be absolutely bonkers. And the MOP definitely can't do that.
It's not that impressive, I used to bullseye womprats in my T-16 back home

I think this is right, it should be about 30 hours and if they took off at 1am ET that makes sense. I guess we will find out soon if they actually land in Guam.
So I'm definitely no expert on any of this, but I'm assuming at some point the Stealth Bombers actually become "Stealthy" to the point jackasses on Surly or anyone else for that matter can't track them or no?

Also, the idea that the "Framers", which I guess means the 55 delegates to the constitutional convention who were in a little bit of a hurry to get this shit over with and get out of the hot Philadelphia summer being cooped up in Independence Hall with the windows closed to keep the debates from getting out, not to mention the other influential people that were not there such as Thomas Jefferson, all had one monolithic viewpoint that happens to fit what you want to say has always seemed to me to be a little bit of a stretch
Man, imagine what you would get if you locked 55 Surly posters in a hot room all summer long.

I actually liked Corvallis more than Eugene when my brother was looking at Pac schools, but for a football trip UO would definitely be a bigger deal. It's just not as cool as the lakefront stadium in Seattle.
Yeah, my daughter is going to Oregon State next year (we live in the Portland Metro)- Corvallis is way cooler as a town to me than Eugene- but obviously the experience at Autzen is going to far surpass Reser, especially these days. Autzen is small, but gets fuckin loud. The whole stadium going nuts during "Shout" is cool and feels more authentic than some mass sing alongs since they've been doing it for a while since they filmed Animal House there. Duck riding out on his motorcycle, etc... They developed a unique shtick

Iran announced they are joining the SEC.
Awesome! Can they replace aggy?
Never mind, that's what I get for getting all excited and posting my lame joke before I see if everyone else has said the same thing.

OK. So maybe this is the first time an American-made fighter shot down a fighter with a Russian flag on it?

We’ve had mid-war presidential elections before. To re-elect the guy responsible for the 22nd, even. Back when we still used to amend the constitution and treat it as intended as a living document, and not some religious artifact that is perfection incarnate.
Yep, and Lincoln had to run for president in the middle of the fucking Civil War, wars don't get to stop elections in the U.S.
