“I came in here to spout Authentic Frontier Gibberish and smash fortune cookies, and I’m all out of cookies”

Some of these new American 'communists' would barely be regarded as Social Democrats in Europe, maybe even slightly right of centre.....

Random bitching you should feel free to ignore:

I'm weirdly pissed PBI got renamed after Lump.

I remember fifty years ago, they’d pull the staircase up to the plane, and you’d walk on the tarmac to the shack that was the terminal at the time. I think the last time I flew in there was for Nana's 8??th? birthday, sometime in the aughts. I adored her and she couldn't stand Lump.

During his appearance on "The Arena," Jennings offered few details about McConnell's hospitalization beyond emphasizing "his desire to keep things private."

After Hunt asked him to call McConnell on air, Jennings laughed and said, "I wasn't really expecting him to call this morning to be honest, so when the phone rang and I was able to talk to him, I was frankly pretty grateful."

Is it wrong that I really want a fortune cookie now?

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

I'd be happy with some Szechuan shrimp.

It's never wrong to want a cookie, fortune or otherwise.

AC/DC singer Bon Scott was born on this day in 1946. He was not, as I had thought, the original singer in the band. That was a fellow named Dave Evans, who sang on the band's first single before being replaced by Scott. Anyway, here's the band in 1978 on The Midnight Special playing "Sin City":

And here they are a year earlier at the Hippodrome in North London performing "TNT":

"A student pilot successfully landed a small plane after her instructor told her 'you know what to do,' grabbed his cell phone, opened the cockpit door, and leapt to his death."

Hey, if you're gonna kill yourself, don't do it in a way that will immediately traumatize someone else forever...

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

My first thought that this was one of those guys who’d kill his whole family when he lost his job because he couldn’t imagine them living without him.

Um, that's an insanely selfish thing to do to a 22 y/o.

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

My humble opinion is that you generally shouldn't do that to anyone of any age. If it doesn't result in trust issues, they're likely to develop a fear of flying. Or of tests at the least.

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

Yeah, I thought finals I had to take with no notes on time series analysis and whatnot were difficult. This takes it to another level. Okay, several other levels. None of them involving sanity.

Scream, "Freedom!" while gunning down people on our streets and bitch about international waterways while committing murder on the high seas. Those are just two of the bajillion reasons that I fucking hate MAGA. It's not a syndrome, it's judgement. Every single thing they do should be considered evil until proven to be just grift, corruption, or just lying for fun.

I once had a joke fortune cookie at a Halloween party. It said "Bob will kick you in the shin" as soon as I opened it Bob kicked me in the shin. 3 guesses who passed them out (the first 2 dont count).

"This Old White House** " . . . apparently Trump has a new project started, again under tarpaulins, and like with the East Wing, Trump's staff are minimizing what is being done while not explicitly saying what they are doing.

"The White House hasn’t announced details on what is being done. But it’s understood Interior Secretary Doug Bergum was talking about the project when he appeared on the podcast of Katie Miller earlier this week. Bergum said Trump complained about “door dings” in the columns when greeting world leaders, and builders will carry out “historic renovation work.”

On Monday, Trump referred to work being done on the White House columns as he surveyed his remodeling of the People’s House, saying, “we’ve taken about 150 years of paint off of the columns.” “If you don’t strip the paint off, it gets worse and worse and worse,” the president added."

He was babbling a while ago about replacing some smooth Tuscan columns with more ornate Corinthian order columns. Can't say if this is what/where he was planning his fuckery, but now it seems likely?

This is exactly it.

I always wonder about the people that do voice overs, in these ads. Maybe it’s AI now, but it was real people, for a decent amount of time.

How do they keep from laughing, when they menacingly say, “ She will hunt down Communists!”?

Caepan's avatar

Some voiceover artists will do anything for a buck.

And some agree with the batshit client’s sentiments.
