All of these judge shows on during the day where the judge basically denigrates and insults people in small claims courts are such trash. I hate them.

There are a series of posts here called "who's on judge mathis today?" and I binge-read them all in, like, two sittings. They are hilarious.

The best taco shell is a hard shell that's wrapped with a soft shell, held together by refried beans. You get the structural integrity of a soft shell, and the crunch of a hard shell. Best of both worlds.

You may also use guacamole to hold the shells together.

Flagpole Sittah has the same kinda energy, a bit.

More like that's the tail end of that era-- Flagpole came out the same year as Fight Club and Office Space, right behind The Matrix and American Beauty, which form a beautiful quadrilogy of "white dudes upset that they don't have bigger problems, until they have bigger problems" movies. That era was firmly ended by 9/11, for better and for worse.

"Two Princes" was at the start of that era where poo poo was largely good for most people in the US, even for people like me whose family didn't have any money at that time.

The song doesn't really hit its true meaning and potential until you listen to the cover by Alvin and the Chipmunks. Which has no altered lyrics.

Voyager was the best star trek series :colbert:

It had some terrible misses, like the boxing episode or the one with the Rock, but it was mostly good.

Year of hell, the WWII holodeck stuff, the armored Voyager, alternate history Voyager...all great.

Alvin and the Chipmunks sang "she comes round and she goes down on me", "doing crystal myth will lift you up until you break" and "how do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you?"?

I did a bit more research. I was incorrect. They did in fact alter the lyrics. But they're uh... still not great. . "how do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you?" made the cut.

We had a prof who'd give you an A for the whole course if you got every single multiple choice wrong on any test, and left blank the essay portion, but gave you your earned grade if you got anything right. One guy managed it.

This is going to sound like a joke or a bit, but it's not, it is 100% my genuine opinion. Hell, it's not even an opinion, it's a fact. If you want a weapon for home defense, a halberd is a better option than any firearm. You hear somebody break in, what do you do? Do you fumble with your gun safe, trying to remember the combination and unlock it in the dark, then fumble with the bullets and load your gun in the dark too? Or do you just grab you halberd off the wall? If you got your gun I hope you line alone in your house. If you have family members or neighbors I hope you're totally OK with the chance one of your bullets will go through the wall and into their lungs and they'll drown in their own blood because you decided a gun was "cooler" than a halberd. You have a gun, the intruder sees you, he rushes you, what do you do? Better hope you don't miss, better hope you actually can fire a gun at another person even though people in literal wars often can't. But if you have a halberd, he's not gonna rush you because you have a loving giant metal spike pointed directly at him. A halberd keeps your opponent at a distance better than any gun.

It is inarguable that a halberd is a better weapon for home defense than a gun. Anyone who disagrees has been brainwashed by the NRA, just likes to imagine themself as a movie hero, or is secretly praying for a second civil war.

I don't have any home defense weapons but if I did I'd just get a $250 shotgun and keep it under the bed or whatever

phuo: if you're paranoid about intruders just get bars on your windows and nice doors

we had a heavy duty screen door we took off some projects that got demolished and that thing would repel a fire axe
