Just setting em up and knocking em down, TB. Relax.

Anyway, the real mistake that woman made was going to Bush in the first place. Hobby is a much better airport, and if Southwest doesn't fly somewhere, is there even really a reason to go there in the first place?

When I was a kid, I would fish in a canal built as part of a huge diversion project in North Dakota. Just one huge, long, perfectly evenly-widthed river with brutalist concrete inclines on either side at perfect 45° angles. We would catch and release the fish because they were all bullheads, which smell awful and taste worse. One time, I caught the same bullhead 4 times in a row. Not like in a day, I mean in a row. Had a very distinctive gash on its side that made it immediately recognizable. Cast out four times, catch the same fish four times. It was depressing in a way, but also astounding that it could even happen—that a fish was so dumb that it could chase the same bait four times in a row. Non Serviam definitely also knows that feeling.

Shilling for a corporation that doesn't pay you to do so remains the most pathetic thing I've ever seen online, and that's really saying something.

I don't know, your insane blabbering and persecution complex are pretty pathetic in their own right.
I'm sorry you've never achieved any degree of meaningful success, and resent those who did.
It's the same kind of insanity of people who call others "Monsanto shills" because they defend the use of gmos.

With a wink of one rheumy eye he slithered back into the water. I hung up my rod and reel after that day - just couldn't see the sport in it anymore - but if you should ever happen upon that old fishing hole, don't waste your money on bait. Just lean in close to the water's edge and whisper "hurting people is wrong." Then wait for the tiny gurgle in reply...

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
So there's a commercial now for Phoenix University (you know, the scam college) where an animated single mom gets laid off the assembly line, so she works hard with her kids, and gets a degree and job in IT, while a sweet reworking of The Cranberries "Dreams" plays over it. Nice, saccharine, generic stuff. On Pandora, I regularly now hear a commercial for PU (heh) that just plays the song a little bit then a woman says something non-descript like "get a degree at Phoenix University!". Like, they don't talk about the place at all, they just expect you to remember their tv commercial that used the same song and that's it.

Just stop. You really aren't good at this. At all. I mean, Tiny Brontosaurus and Avenging_Mikon aren't exactly great at this either, but at least they are better than "You mad bro? I know you are but what am I?". You misread the original comment you replied to, accept it and move on. On the bright side no-one is good at everything, and being honest about your own limitations allows for personal growth. Or you could continue dragging this out, in which case I would recommend a name change to "Washington_Generals" just to make it clear to passers by exactly how easy it is to dunk on you.

Seeing as probably a lot of the people using Ashley Madison are not what you'd call "lookers," it seems like a really cheap shot at Asian ethnicity. Like, they could have used a picture of a chubby white guy? But then they'd risk alienating their customers. KJU is just a kinda chunky Korean man. If you're a kinda chunky white guy (this is America, after all), what exactly are you comparing yourself to in that billboard?
