Re: Ask the Person Below You

Seepage as it seems likely to have been going on for a long time without being noticed.

For a million dollars, which challenge would you choose: eating 50 hard-boiled eggs ala Cool Hand Luke, or drinking 70 beers on a cross country flight, ala Wade Boggs?

Re: new tunage?

For something new, I can't stop listening to a song called I am Just a Whisper by The Brass Bed. Everything else of theirs I've come across has disappointed.

Re: 21st Century Film

I think I've seen 27 of the 100 which isn't terrible since it's a pretty arty list, but still not great.

21st Century Film

Anyone see this list? I'm embarrassed about how few I've seen but I also think Mulholland Drive was great until the end, where it completely disappointed me.

Re: Ask the Person Below You

I stumble over accommooddate fairly often.

What's your favorite mnemonic (mine's soh cah toa, which might not even be a proper mnemonic, but I don't care)?

Re: Holy 2016!

That's a really interesting point, Sam. The Herstory over on the BLM's site has an interesting account of their message/movement and how it's been borrowed and changed. There's a whole lot going on there that I'm completely unqualified to comment on. It is interesting that the word solidarity comes...

Re: Holy 2016!

Actually, it was that specific cartoon that got me thinking about this. It explains the point nicely, but how many months did it take to get that idea out there and how many people have already made up their minds? I don't know how they got their start, but I imagine they went through a series of id...

Re: Holy 2016!

I'm guessing you're getting as worn down as me (maybe more since I don't watch a ton of news) by the slogan tennis match going on. Does anyone think the name (only the name and not the content) "Black Lives Matter" may have been a strategic misstep? It seems to lead very directly to "...

Re: Brexit, WTF?!?!?

I see this discontent as a symptom of the larger problem that economic growth stopped creating prosperity for society as a whole some time ago and is now creating greater inequality. This one is a little long, but I think gets the general ideas across: https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/john-b...

If that's the case, then we've got to get leadership that will actually play youngsters.

Re: Ask the Person Below You

If your plumbing can handle it (the actual plumbing, that isn't a gross metaphor, just actually gross in a normal way), you have to go with two ply.

TP over the top or underhand (hanging close to the wall)?


PS - there is a right answer to this

Re: Brexit, WTF?!?!?

I think Cameron's move/non-move of refusing to sign Article 50 is pure strategic genius. Just now Boris the Terrible announced that he's not seeking the Tory leadership spot. So awesome. Seriously! Signing Article 50 should be the victory lap of the winners, except it's obvious now that isn't the c...
