@Renauda said in The Dream Ticket for the GOP: @George-K I thought you might have shaved for that occasion. Since 1970, there are two times I shaved my facial hair. For my interview to medical school. I kept it off for about 5 months. In 1986 when Mrs. George said, "I wonder what you'd look like if..." I kept it off for 11 years. Either of those two events would have had more importance for me than a visit with (any) POTUS.

@jon-nyc said in My favorite Kennedy: My favorite was Rosemary but I have a very unusual fetish. I'm not sure it's all that unusual. At least for the crowd that you used to hang with.

@Horace said in Project Veritas "Interviews" Pfizer Director: The date was definitely a guy though, I think we can all agree on that. Not that I'm a biologist. I was just going to reply, 40 years ago he would have been trying to destroy the evidence that he was gay…

@George-K said in Did Hakeem do the right thing?: Remember the mantra, "Democrats are the crazy party and Republicans are the stupid party?" Yeah, well, the Democrats sure look stupid at the moment. Yup - I used to say that or a variant the party of crazies versus the party of crooks. But now, it seems that both parties have opted for crazy crooks - with a matter of degree to which element is more prominent.

@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.
