Robyn - and no doubt others - may scoff, but I will just note that Jimmy Kimmel is a Scorpio. And if there is any sign of the zodiac whose shit list you do NOT want to be on, it's them Scorps. (Dark Brandon is also a Scorpio, heck, he's got a whole stellium in the twelfth house. Which if my w00 brain wasn't mostly in storage I might maybe could say something bout too).

That's fine. Part of my head fully gets that there's no reason it should work. Another part notes that it often does anyway. I find it a useful tool but know that ymmv and I'm ok with that.

As a Wisconsinite and Packer fan, I feel qualified to report that, for a Super Bowl winning, future Hall of Famer, and really a good quarterback for a long time, Aaron Rodgers surprisingly was on a lot of Packer fans shit lists by the time he moved on to the Jets. There was no hue and cry of objection when he was traded. He had worn out his welcome. The vaccination lie was probably the last straw.

McAfee- who’s not a bad guy - pays Rodgers $1mil a year for interviews, so Rodgers will keep spouting crap.

Kimmel ought to inform his viewing audience that Rodgers was disowned by his ENTIRE FAMILY years ago. His own parents hate him.

I'm guessing Aaron's probably on the list.

I prefer to get my medical advice from Tom Brady because he doesn't get injured.

I like the #PMSlive part of the program. Dipshits like this make me sad that I like sports so much (I fired off a complaint to ESPN and trolled McAfee properly that fucking piece of shit douchebag.

Money can’t buy happiness and I bet you know his whole family disowned him years ago. He’ll never be happy.

He doesn't need family because he has a massive ego he can congratulate when he gets lonely. And to think Olivia Munn fell for his schtick... (Glad she wised up, but where is she now?)

The intellectual acumen of professional sportsball players has really declined in recent years.

There are some smart ones, but they know they have to keep their mouths shut or they get kicked off the gravy train.

Seriously. I mean, I wouldn't have called ALL of them "smart" in the past, but how many of them now would have a law degree and end up on a state Supreme Court like Viking Alan Page (from '93 to 2015) in Minnesota?

Tommy Kramer graduated from Rice University. (We were in the same dorm.)

As a graduate of the same esteem institution as Mr Rodgers, I am sadden to see the value of my degree erode with his ever word.

Kimmel should keep needling him like that without ever mentioning his name. It'll drive Rodgers crazy, and he'll be running more and more to McAfee's show, trying to escalate things to get a rise out of Kimmel until ESPN's going to be saying, "Doing something about this right the fuck now."

Is this an insight into that loony world, that people identifying as "conspiracy theorists" (to use their lingo) feel that the term makes them feel 'smart'? Like they internalized their own protests against the "politically correct" renaming of job positions?

In England, they're still called "bin men." It's so quaintly Victorian.

As a devoté of "Are You Being Served," I am able to keep up on my Briticisms!

Dina's avatar

I have to. I live here now and if I want to be the American Who Gets Along With People, I have to speak the language—sometimes. To me, a sidewalk will always be a sidewalk ("pavement"), candy will always be candy ("sweets"), a car trunk will always be a trunk ("boot"), cookies will always be cookies ("biscuits"), and soccer will always be soccer ("football"). Fortunately, because of the proliferation of American TV and movies, they all know what I'm talking about. :-)

I have noticed Briticisms entering US English, though. One is the term "spot on," which I never heard prior to around 2000.

True. There was something I saw one of my FB friends (one of those "been friends forever and I put up with their redneckness because unfriending them would be awkward" situations) post about two weeks ago that contained a very British word or phrase but, unfortunately, I can't remember what it was. But my first thought was, "Whoa, for someone so 'Murican, that's a strange choice of words!" Damn, don't make me look through weeks of that person's posts, I can only take so many pictures/posts about big pickups and "Biden OLD."

"Those guys" have been right about - A LOT?

Crom's iron balls.

Like the moon landings having been faked? Like the CIA being behind John F. Kennedy's assassination, unless it was the Mafia or Russia? Like the 2016 presidential election having been stolen by fraud

The average, or even above average, conspiracy theory, has a lot in common with Danny Ocean's plan to heist the biggest money vault in Las Vegas while still on parole. That is to say, too flashy, complicated and impractical ever to work in the real world.

Here’s solid reasoning that the Moon Landings were real. If NASA could have faked the Moon Landings, they would have accomplished something else.

Perhaps Aaron was just expressing the same frustrations as many about the long-awaited Volume Seven of George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter.
