I know you might believe it - a hoopy frood like me who really knows where his towel is - but I'm a bit of a closet nerd. I like numbers. And science. And smart chicks are hot.
So I've always had a secret crush on Velma.
And now, to learn that I don't even have a chance... *sniff*
Dennis Farina was brilliant in that role. Almost ever line was an instant classic. Moron number one put moron number two on the phone. Or You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved with your work or I’m gonna stab you in the heart with a pencil.
Names are important of course so we’re working on that. Once we get the name naturally you will receive due consideration depending on your qualifications. I will say now, you must not have an aversion to good whiskey, firearms, or big ass German Shepards named Odin and Thor.
I was thinking perhaps the Peoples Republic of Leave me Alone. Perhaps a flag that says “Don’t Tread on Anyone”.
That Dems can't understand the trolling humor of Boebert is saddening.
Two words for Biden: "Leave!"
Kamala's not just word salad--she's a blinding hypocrite. 2,000 mj convictions to boost her career. She's literally standing on the bodies of those she prosecuted. She keeps failing up.
Spent the morning reading about Columbus, the Aztecs' human sacrifice and Putin's savagery. Thank God you came in.
"I’m in this for the long haul, and it’s good to have you along."
I don't say this often enough, as often as some of the more thoughtful amongst us, but what you do is so much fun. Just glad to be able to afford the ride!
"You might think it’s a good or bad thing that Kamala has changed her tune on weed. But why is she pretending she hasn’t?"
Because she can and the media won't call her on it now bc it would hurt their team to do so. I'm sure this was rhetorical, but still I like to voice the obvious to remind myself I'm not crazy, it's the world that's gone crazy.
I loved "The Mouse That Roared". Both the movie and the book. Peter Sellers played three different roles, like he did in "Dr. Strangelove." "The Mouse on the Moon" was pretty good, too.
Kanye is a broken clock, you put enough out there you will be right about a couple of times. The guy is obviously pretty angry at his wife, hell hath no fury like a rapper off his meds. I don't know any Trump supporters who actually think his rants are a good thing, other than Candace Owens. He is clearly unstable, but he has seen a lot of what our "elites" are up to and that makes what he has to say interesting.
The thing about the Velma show that bothers me is the shear laziness. They can't come up with their own characters? They have to subvert and retcon beloved characters from the past? Why? It's not these are fairy tales and folk tales that have been passed down through the generations and so no one is going to object when you use it as source material and put your own spin on it. These are tv shows and movies people still like to watch, the originals are "set in stone" as it were. So when you do put your own spin on it, at least make smart and entertaining, like the mildly fun Brady Bunch Movie from the 1990s. Taking old shows that people my age still remember fondly and making them "woke" just seems antagonistic, it's like they think they are winning the cultural revolution by killing our ability to have nostalgia. It just seems petty, mean, and unimaginative. But I guess that's Kaling in a nutshell.
you might appreciate this bit of 4-chan (it has nothing to do with the alt right but everything to do with someone from 4-chan getting on a network news show to defend Edward Snowden but instead talks about Edward Scissorhands)... journalists? amiright?
It's on HBO Max. I'll check it out!

Smart chicks are *very* hot. That's why I love the old Thin Man movies. Myrna Loy was smart, beautiful, and smoking hot.
Wow!
The claim was that he had been prescribed pain meds for back issues and didn't have it together just that one time on the big stage.
Perry was and probably still is a good Energy Policy guy.
Small things can really derail a campaign, especially when the MSM wants to bash you.
That De Niro-delivered line still makes me laugh! Charles Grodin displayed good comic timing too!
First of all, Midnight Run is one of my all time faves. Love it. My favorite line is "You call yourself a bounty hunter? YOU COULDN'T DELIVER MILK!"
Dennis Farina was brilliant in that role. Almost ever line was an instant classic. Moron number one put moron number two on the phone. Or You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved with your work or I’m gonna stab you in the heart with a pencil.
I think I’ve seen that movie 50 times.
Hop along que se dice cracks me up every time.
Biden's always been dumb buti suspect his handlers cringe every time he opens his mouth now. Lord knows I do.
Micro nation? Cool! I just bought 20 acres out in the sticks. Maybe I can be a micro nation too! Any thought on a cool name? Or thoughts on a flag?
I was going to throw my hat in the ring for Secretary of Defense but you don't even have a name yet. Get back to me.
*updates cover letter: "Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. President of The Glorious People’s Republic of Treacherstan..."*

I'm totally down with bourbon, boomsticks and big dogs.
"Don't tread on anyone"
Highly endorsed.
I’d say you’re the front runner for the job.
Put my name down for Budget Director. I make the early Scrooge look like a drunken sailor.
Booyah!
"Yep. Three. Feel free to check my work, though."
It's a Complex number and only the Imaginary component matters.
Well, Happy Columbus Day!

Have a good Monday.
A Do-Nothing Congress is like a Do-Nothing Rapist!

^THIS
You can't use your "tough on crime" bona fides to advance your career then just walk away.
There are no more Willies coming along to pad her resume.
She's always been a "say anything, do anything" not overly bright girl. It's gotten her this far.
She's just completely unprincipled.
I forgot. You should have mentioned the PayPal scandal:

"I might actually have to come up with a clever pseudonym."
Crap. Me too.
For myself I’m going with Race Bannon, paying homage to my all time favorite animated cartoon series Johnny Quest.
An excellent choice. Your secret is safe here.
I wonder how "Chim Chim" will look on a business card? *rubs chin thoughtfully*
Pi Guy is brilliant.
I thought that was your pseudonym ;-)
I'm thinking of starting my own online money-servicing app.
All exchanges will utilize Four Roses Small Batch, canned Frank N Beans, and small caliber ammo as the only acceptable currency.
Why?
It was newsy is all. And: it has tremendous ramifications for freedom of speech. Klobuchar's bill endorses this censoring by Big Tech/Big Corp.

I think I share for a similar reason.

Right!? Leave my racist sexist politically incorrect memories alone
Lol!
4-chan did nothing wrong!!!
