Navy here. We used to say that if you locked a Marine in an empty room with a bowling ball and come back in an hour, he’ll have either lost it, broken it, or fucked it. I thought it was all hyperbole until I caught a couple of them having a chin-up contest on a section of waveguide for the air search. If it broke, they’d have been dead before they hit the deck. Damn fine shots though.

PARTY FACT: The only reason that ancient Egyptian mumys are rare today is that rich people ate most of them.

For ours, we use one of those suspension harness things that hang from a door jam, and some narcotic sedatives from the vet. He’s the sweetest thing in the entire world, and he’ll let a chihuahua bark him into a corner, and then be sad about it for the rest of the day because he couldn’t make a new friend, but when nail clippers are involved, he just loses his entire mind. It really is like a phobia in the true DSM sense of the word.

I have a 100lb pitbull with a nail trim phobia so bad that he will politely leave the room if he even sees me using wire strippers… AMA.

He’s mostly in to Victorian era, forbidden love fiction. I hear he has an original manuscript of his own, but he’s too nervous that it’s not good enough to ever let anybody read it.

No. This is a common misconception. Vests actually evolved separately from shirts in an example of convergent evolution. Their nearest common ancestor was the jumpsuit, which also spawned the lineage of what are now pants. Interesting, a subgroup of proto-vests became isolated in the southern region, and eventually evolved into chaps.

Couldn’t beat their prices on submachine guns either.

Ok… Now what?

Amazing. I haven’t felt that level of disappointment looking back at me since yesterday when I was “Trying my best.” Near other people.

Zuck looks like a lesbian.

You’re call.

I think you’re confusing the ideas of “Innocent until proven guilty” with “reasonable suspicion”. I hesitate to ask, but, do you think OJ did it?

To both of you: Given the specificity of your wording, I am honestly curious, do you believe he did not pull the trigger, or do you believe that he did, but is free of wrongdoing? There’s a big difference between the two views.

Don’t go whitewashing 4chan. You know what word they use…

THE ONLY DISEASE THEY CARRY IS FRIENDSHIP, CRIKESTE!

Ok. I concede. Never heard that one before.

Did a barbarian write the subtitle?

Interesting. And yet, somehow, that’s still less convoluted than the electoral college process. Thanks.

I actually didn’t know that. So the PM isn’t directly elected, but by being one of the majority party?

I know he lost the election, but anybody have time to give context for the rest of it? I’m trying to keep up with y’all, but my news feed fills up pretty fast just with the domestic stuff down here these days.
