@Jolly He was working for the Walker campaign, so probably not? But who knows, I’m pretty sure confusion reigned all around.

@LuFins-Dad said in Classic Payton: @Jolly said in Classic Payton: Sean never tips his hand. I think he coaches. https://larrybrownsports.com/football/report-reveals-where-sean-payton-will-end-up/610676 I don’t. The analyst position is a sweet gig. Everybody kept waiting for Cowher to come back, but he is quite happy… I dunno. Sean has already said he wants to coach and at 59, he ain't getting younger.

@Doctor-Phibes Yes, there’s that too.

@George-K said in Marco Missed: Despite flying quite close to our planet, the asteroid will pose no threat to the Earth: Nice how they posted all the scary stuff in the beginning and tacked this on the end. I hate the news.

Just try and have a TV doctor without a stethescope. It can't be done. https://twitter.com/patrickdempsey/status/979445284907307008

If this had come up when I was about to get a new car, I might have opted for this one as opposed to the Subaru Forester I have now - saved some money.

@Jolly said in Dimension X: Funny thing is, the grandkids really like the old radio shows, especially the comedies. If you want to try a British tint on old radio comedy, try The Goon Show from the 1950's. It's genuinely surreal, and was probably one of the most influential comedy shows in history - Monty Python clearly took a lot from it. Starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe. It streams on BBC Sounds - possibly elsewhere, too. There are over a hundred episodes out there.

@LuFins-Dad said in When your date looks eight years old.: I read an article about this. Supposedly, while still as intelligent as a 22 year old, Her emotional age is also that of a prepubescent girl. If that’s the case, the guy is sick. I felt much the same way about the 2016 election result, for much the same reason.

There was a playground built on 2 levels on a hill where I grew up (Mon Valley)… The two levels were connected by a 60 foot concrete staircase built to traverse the 50° incline. Eventually, some idiot built a 60’ 50° concrete slab and laid polished sheet metal from the top to the bottom. Of course, there was no sheet metal long enough, so they had to use multiple sheets with only a 1/32” gap between the sheets… There was no sides, and if you fell off you were rolling through brambles to the bottom of the slope (after a few feet of sliding on the exposed concrete for a few feet). Oh, and the slope was Westward facing, getting full exposure to the sun. The thing lasted 5 years before they finally ripped it out from too many injuries…

If it became the standard after the fact that would seem to be adequate defense.

@Renauda said in Borowitz on Pence: @Catseye3 Pence does somewhat resemble the renowned English actor, the late Robert Shaw*. among his many diverse roles he played the Bond villain, Grant, in From Russia with Love. I just cannot see Pence ever saying 'Here's to swimming with bow-legged women' as he drinks his bedtime cocoa.

@Renauda said in Nancy Pelosi called priests to perform 'exorcism': I had to use the Google translator for that. LOL. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that does that.

@Rainman Excellent response, Rainman. You are wise about such things.

The requirements for these fuel cans make them dangerous. There is a pretty good market in "unsafe" gas cans and nozzles because the CPSC design is so stupid!

@Doctor-Phibes said in Rejected: @Horace said in Rejected: He doesn't seem indoctrinated into any emotional truths, from what I've heard of him. If you define a lefty as being indoctrinated into emotional truths, then it's not particularly surprising that you can't find any reasonable lefties. You only have to accept that emotionally true narratives are the cornerstone of modern leftism. Which is true.
