  1. That did not work for me… the snake did not calm down at all.
  2. Dat new Spirit flight from Lisbon to Crowley is gonna come in handy! I won't be able to bring any Boudain back with them crazy baggage fees tho. Wall cher, ain’t nobody wants ta miss dat dere Rice Festival!
  3. Dude, can I stay in your gardener's shed? I'll tend your garden and promise not to fuck your wife. You are welcome to stay in my gardener’s shed. You are also welcome to fuck my ex-wife anytime you’d like, but you’d have to travel to Louisiana from Portugal to do it.
  4. This is why Babble is teaching me Portuguese. I’d rather be reading about it from the sunny Portuguese coast
  5. I do know that Trump‘s goofy lawyers were arguing that you cannot bring a criminal charge against a president unless he is first impeached and successfully convicted for the same events. If Snacks was selling that spin he likely heard it on Fox News or somewhere like that. 24/7 on Fox News they are saying that paying off Stormy is not a crime and not election interference - the granular legal explanation being - it’s Trump - so he did nothing wrong. if you do not listen to the libtard fake news sources you never really have a clue what is going on in the country or the world. which is why the country is failing.
  6. Tell us you have no idea about anything without telling us you have no idea about anything. Low info citizens are the death of the republic.
  7. it’s not like she put the dog in a dog crate and tied it to the top of a station wagon and drove across America
  8. “It puts the ‘shut it’ on its mouth or it gets the hoe again…”
  9. And that number included all of the people in Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, etc., that made up that Soviet number. I’m not sure how many people fled the Soviet Union when Hitler attacked, but I’m pretty sure that 1 million young men did not flee the country and deprive the military of their services. in Russia, you can kill all the non-blonde slavs at a higher rate with no blowback. Killing young men from Moscow and St. Petersburg is going to be a huge problem. And back then the Soviet union was the Soviet union- politically. There were not a bunch of Republics with their own presidents to decide that their men are no longer going to be fodder for the meat grinder. I agree that Russia can lose more, but I disagree that they can lose 1 million more. I doubt they can lose a half million more If that number includes sons of the elite in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
  10. I am positive that a minute before Kristi shot the puppy she looked at it very seriously, flipped a coin and said…..“Call it…just call it!”
  11. I view it more as a massive junior varsity constituted for different reasons - with an opportunity to cherry pick the very best of the mandatory two year people to supplement the professional cadre. in World War II, the US military fought for less than a year in Holland, Belgium, France, and Germany/ Austria. Adding the Italian campaign only adds 6 to 8 months to that year. We had our smaller professional army doing tour after tour in the Middle East, which was not a good thing for our personnel. Right now we see Ukraine hanging on by a thread because they cannot rotate enough soldiers. Stalin was right about very few things, but he was right that quantity has a quality all its own. While drones and Geo smart munitions have changed the face of modern war, to take an hold territory you need boots on the ground in sufficient numbers to advance/hold once you have Air Superiority. I was number 27 in the Vietnam selective service draft, but was not called up because they were arguing about the shape of the table in peace negotiations. I will absolutely defer to military professionals who have far more insight than I do, but as a non-serving citizen looking at the last 30 years of US military involvement - and the recent Ukraine Russian fight- I feel like we need a bigger military so long as China is acting salty. Could be wrong, I am a known idiot.
  12. Richard Widmark was such a great psycho in Kiss of Death
  13. Cosign chief. it would also help identify the mentally ill who cannot accept authority - and would provide a means (possibly) for those with sketchy literacy skills to be forced to sit in the class with the teaching equivalent of a drill sergeant helping them how to read and write at (at least) a minimal level required to be a functioning member of society. In a broader picture, it would take people out of their current culture and get them away from people/family/friends who enable negative behavior with their support. If you only lived in bumfuck Arkansas or some Inner-city project your whole life, the fact of meeting a ton of different people with a different take on the world would be a positive thing. It would also be good for kids born on third who think they hit a home run to have to compete - and lose - to individuals they previously thought were their inferiors. I think it is a great idea and a good return for the money. And if we ever face a Ukraine situation, you have millions of people who went through basic training.
  14. You are apparently on some list. I’d buy security cameras ASAP.
  15. I still miss my Bruno. He was one great Doggo. Chow/husky/German shepherd combo.
  16. This ain't one body's story. It's the story of us all. We got it mouth-to-mouth. So you got to listen it and 'member. 'Cause what you hears today you got to tell the birthed tomorrow.
  17. I have to tell you that this very thing has revolutionized E discovery in litigation. Details about your case that used to be impossible to discover are now sometimes easily found in detail in electronic media that the parties thought were safe and private. Gender and race discrimination at work are notoriously difficult to prove, as any marginal reason that the incidents were somehow work related will get a defendant off. also, the other employees do not want to lose their job by testifying in their former co-employees favor. I had a good judge allow me access to a defendants personal home computer after a showing of probable cause that he may have discussed his work activities privately. Holy shit, not only did he mention it - he gleefully discussed and gloated about it to his idiot racist friends. The case settled, bigly, but 25 years ago it would’ve been dismissed for lack of evidence.
