What's Swedish for phony?

... I dunno... I was getting a nice Game of Thrones vibe from it... I've seen much worse on 'haute couture' runways, and besides, it's the Oscars and I think the intent is to stand out in a crowd of people desperately vying for attention.

... apparently, if you're a Huckabee, nobody likes you, not even the Girl Scouts. So it could be them, or anybody really, egging their house and the Huckelfucks would consider that normal. Thus we have The Birth of a Notion that totally could be a saying.

... yes, yes it is. And you contribute to that. As I will be visiting/enjoying Amsterdam and Vlissingen in a month or so, I love hearing the perspective from there. My Dutch and German friends are the best ones I have!

... well, one brown shoe and one black shoe, I guess that's what happens when you can't see your feet when getting dressed. But surely you would think the person tying the laces would say something, no? Or are those slip-ons?

I am in favor of the "actually in my underwear" tactic. Like, legit show up wearing actual real lingerie. It can cover all the "can't see on TV" bits, but still be 100% not-actual-clothes. You don't need to wear abstract art to make a scene.

What if you have money but aren't paying taxes? Silicon Valley is boom-and-bust - more bust during Repub years - and so the time I need ACA is also the time I have no income to tax. Like now; haven't paid any income tax all year, but I've yet to run through the severance package.

I assume being retired will be similar.

But you cannot actually win a war from long range. The sole potential example, Japan 1945, is not a good example, given that the Japanese had first lost conventionally.You got to have boots on the ground or the war ain't over.

Oh, you might laugh but that was a thing that used to happen a century ago. Expired cordite sank more battleships than enemy guns.Of course, we don't use that mixture any more...perhaps the new stuff has a "Best Shot By" date on it...

Good point.

If they have trouble finding enough departments to cut to fund massive defense spending increases, they can always cut more taxes. That fixes everything!

Hang tough, man! We're all behind you (not all in a pervy way, but some, I assume are perverts).
