"ACME safety net"?

Don't ACME products always suck? So even if the net was there it wouldn't do any good.

Unless I'm an idiot and ACME is a reference to something other than Looney Tunes.

:eng101: Acme was chosen for that cartoon because fly-by-night companies that sold shoddy goods would often set up under the name Acme to get that little 'first in the phone book' edge on their more established competition. So, Acme products were widely known to be shite, even though there were dozens of individual companies that might have had that name! :eng101:

Seriously there is so much in those old cartoons that makes so much sense in context.

Meanwhile, Conradin made himself another piece of toazzzzzzt.
Arguably political cartoons, Topps (the people that did the Garbage Pail Kids cards) did a series of 'Presidential Candidates' modelled after some of their old designs.

I suppose Noah can just know the sex of a dinosaur that will emerge from an egg? Or he got like, armloads of the fuckin' things?

I remember the story, Noah carrying fuckin' armloads of eggs and baby animals because the Ark wasn't big enough to carry their full-sized adult equivalents.

1And God said unto Noah, "2These measurements will suffice for adult animals of most kinds, 3but you're gonna have to carry a bunch of eggs because I didn't make it quite big enough for the really big ones."

:thunk::mason::brainworms::tinfoil::thunkher:
In the past few years, the greater prevalence of American made top shelf weed has kind of eaten into Mexican cartel's marijuana profits, so they've opted to focus on downsizing their MJ operations and trading in heroin. This has led to a flood of cheap heroin on American streets - meaning the go to drug of pretentious middle class youth is now very popular with the poor. Heck, if anything heroin is now cheaper than Oxycontin in some places.

As someone from the Northeast it's kind of funny (in the unexpected sense) to hear people question this, but yeah. It's a huge deal here. Considered an epidemic. Didn't realize it was region-specific.

"The state of emergency, we shouldn't develop a taste for it!"
Three weeks ago, the Constitutional Council (our Supreme Court, kinda) said that there was no problem with the fact that we were still under the state of emergency. The Council of State (our Supreme Court, kinda) agreed and said it saw no objections to furthering it by three more months. The government plans to add provisions in the Constitution related to the state of emergency. Woohoo.

Is there no French version of Star Wars? Or maybe the entire country just forgot the prequels... can't say I'd blame them.

Would that actually be that unreasonable? I mean, the drat thing was already bigger than a wooden ship can be built before it tears itself apart, does putting even more poo poo on Noah's plate really make sense?

Uh... son. I was actually gonna suggest that you, you know, get an interest. Maybe a hobby of some kind. Women are people, they're not loving prizes that you get for being a good person. You don't 'get a wife,' son, you meet someone. Try doing that.

And stop staring and my dick, son. That's gross.

Naw, it was more the idea that God's design for the Ark was insufficient to actually hold all the animals (but it was planned! Obviously!) that I was objecting to.

Like, gently caress, Leitha, you're the one who keeps banging on about how big and thick and long and hard the Ark was, why the gently caress are you getting drawn into this rubes' game of justifying where they put everything? Surely they "just had room?"
