Yes, they make fun of "monologuing" in The Incredibles
I'm very glad this is unwinding in the background, but enough other stuff has been going on that I guess I wasn't planning to pay much attention until I saw another indictment.
The characterization seems correct; "busted" seems premature.
I guess I was akso happy to see my entirely negative opinion of Wikileaks confirmed.
Prediction: Trump is the first president to complain that the turkey he pardons didn't publicly thank him sufficiently.
"Other presidents, past presidents, like Obama, they would usually just pardon one turkey. Not me. Me, I prefer to pardon a lot of turkeys. We're talking big-league pardoning here. So in addition to this turkey here, I've sent the Justice Department a list of turkeys who I, Donald J. Trump, am giving a full and unconditional pardon for all past actions, including but not limited to those during the 2016 presidential campaign."
Attached list:
Tom Turkey
Gobble McGobbler
Jared Kushner
Paul Manafort
Michael Flynn
Donald Trump Jr.
that other guy turkey with the funny name whose phone I used when texting Putin
I think Mueller must have high number in the "how many times did Mike Pence a substantive lie about something he knew" pool.
I do think that Jared/Don Jr. will be the pardon/fire Mueller line. (Possibly Flynn or someone else if he thinks they could bring him down.)
Who among us has not fucked Senator Bob Taft in an Ohio hayloft, let them cast the first stone.
People in Ohio brag about strange things.
I wonder how many other governors of Ohio have fucked somebody in a hayloft? I bet lots, since houses were rare there until 1978.
People used to think of the upper midwest as basically "old factories, pleasant, reasonable hicks" but it's been clear for a while now that the better stereotype for the region is as a bunch of jamokes who love raging blowhards. There's a reason why Trump did particularly well there.
Before he became President, Gov. William McKinley used to be known as Ol' Hayloft Fucker.
The judge linked in 12 is a running as a Democrat, so maybe he has a special connection with Trump voters.
17: Only because "Old Hickory" and "Old Kinderhook" were both taken.
That's what I mean. The blowhard-loving jamokes are a cultural thing, not just political. Trump won special affection there just by virtue of being an obnoxious blowhard.
His picture scream "sexual dynamo". I'm sure he's being nothing less than strictly honest.
jamoke
I thought this was an NYC word, so I looked at what Google depicts for the word.
It took me a second, but 23 is completely right.
He wasn't even really English. I didn't know that.
Stupid Wikipedia won't tell me if Higgins was Robin Masters.
He had noted that his English fans were often disappointed to learn Higgins was actually "'a Texas hick".
I guess I was also happy to see my entirely negative opinion of Wikileaks confirmed.
You and me both. I've been arguing online about Assange (he has always struck me as creepy and rapey, and just deeply unsavoury, and not the sort of man to be trusted with or for anything at all) with various and sundry lefty internet friends for the past few years; and I guess I now feel somewhat vindicated.
I had Assange wrong. It seemed like he was doing the Lord's work for leaking crimes of the US military, but somehow that morphed into becoming a Russian double. I don't even mind that he harbored a grudge against Hillary for the shit she pulled when she was at State - she earned that - but colluding with the Trump campaign was a bridge too far.
Ohio's legislature has more problems than the Supreme Court.
they make fun of "monologuing" in The Incredibles
Kids today. Ebert first noted this as "the talking killer," and now it's either "evil gloating" or "monologuing." (Can we banish all French spelling from English? Freedom verbs and freedom nouns, please.)
I have no time to catalogue the errors in ogged's proposal

No-one's done NMM to Malcolm Young?
Said M-ing would be preternaturally in time, too.

I'm just seeing now that their elder brother George Young died just a few weeks ago, he was also a musician though not in AC/DC.
re: 40
Yeah, he produced most of their records, and had quite a run of hits that he produced or wrote for or with other people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanda_%26_Young
I figured that in Malcolm's honor at least one church would blare "Hell's Bell's" from its recorded bell system in its steeple, starting out as regular bells and proceeding to ROCK. But no evidence as yet. If I were a priest that would be my top priority.
Also, a friend noted and I hadn't known, he's responsible for the guitar break in basically all 80s hip-hop (Rock the Bells, etc.)

A little while back, I think I was talking here about not being able to find the article that showed how problems with retail had a heck of a lot to do with being larded up with debt by private equity financial engineering. I found it:
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-retail-debt/
Challenging but reasonably sound underlying businesses. Debt loads premised on neverending boom times. What could possibly go wrong?

I thought it was my fault because I'm now old enough where I don't really guy anything except to replace something which broke or got soup stains.
44: That story is so what I want to be true that I find it hard to believe.
I have worked back office in retail, and know other people who've done the same. They are genuinely incompetent. My wife once had a temp job where they hired 100 people to work 2 months to do something she said that she could have written a Perl script to do in a couple of days.
Though the map has an arrow drawn to Pittsburgh and nowhere else.
I admit to finding the retail world particularly baffling. Like why do so many stores sell vaping stuff. How aren't they all immediately undercut and run out of business by stores that sell other stuff and thus can split the overhead among more products? And don't get me started on the store that just sells only honey and other bee-made things. I wish them well, not just because they replaced a vaping store, but I don't understand the business plan.
How aren't they all immediately undercut and run out of business by stores that sell other stuff and thus can split the overhead among more products?
Presumably the vape stuff is higher margin than the other products. There is a question as to why they aren't undercut by other vape stores. I suspect they are, and the two vape stores on my high street are going to be one, or none, in short order.
But if the margin on vape stuff is higher, why not just shrink down the rack with the candy bars and put it into a regular convenience store? It doesn't take up much room.
48 and 50 seem unanswerable to me. I think GY is right in expecting to find 0 vape stores on his high street by Easter, but what is happening seems to me to be:
1. Vaping is still new enough to be trendy and vape stores provide an environment where vapers can admire each other;
2. Probably these companies are running on loans (which is suicidal for microbusinesses of any kind), and they've raised the loans by pitching the novelty to bankers and angels who have been convinced that they are in some way different from a traditional tabacconist. Because the bankers in question haven't a clue what vaping even is.
Nobody doesn't have a clue what vaping is because everybody who vapes does it as conspicuously as possible.
At least in the UK, they do. Every convenience store/newsagent sells vape stuff. But, assuming sufficient footfall, a shop whose average margin is 20% on vape stuff is going to do better than a shop making 20% on vape stuff and 2% on milk.
Then why did grocery stores even bother selling milk since they could just sell cigarettes?
Because of the sufficient footfall part of the sentence.
My sense is that these vape stores do not, in fact, have sufficient footfall.
This very evening I walked past a young man ostentatiously blowing a vast cloud of white smoke into a laundry where he appeared to be employed. I couldn't smell it, so I assume he was vaping. Because I need something new to hate.

I don't know what "footfall" means in this context, but I've seen people vaping who use wheelchairs and I've also seen lots of them who just kind of shuffle along instead of walking with a decent stride.
Does count unless you have the corpses swinging from your handrails.
The bus drivers here are pretty strict about the "no corpse" rule.
That's why you drive your own. Pwned, bro.
53 Is so true.
In retrospect I should have put 51 in the comedy thread.
66.1 Like literally in your face true. I'm amazed that early vaping proponents thought that kind of antisocial behavior would get the rest of us to accept it.
