The government shutdown prevented a friend of mine from going to see the play and I feel like it was probably doing him a favor.

Urban legends say that if you see it three times your clothes magically turn into a lands end button down tucked into khakis, and a lanyard autographed by Joe Biden materializes around your neck and can never be taken off.

Anyone who has seen Hamilton thrice is way too busy workshopping with their improv group, Wonk’s Entertainment, to confirm. E: it’s a seriously huge improv group. The fbi are thinking of labeling them a gang.

The obsession with her is that a G G G GIRL!!!! was briefly on the forums and nobody could handle it even 1% Absolutely the best part of it was the droves of Apology Goons tracking her down to say "we're actually not all bad and many of us really like you and would like to you please please come back or at least post a forgiveness letter or maybe mail me some of your hair!!"

Len posted:Dunno but for some reason that's the only person goons have respected the wish of and his comics don't get posted here It's because he asked very nicely. Instead of having a Barbara Streisand kind of meltdown he basically just went "well I mean I can't actually force you people to stop but it would make me very happy if you'd not post my work online, thanks." It's like the opposite of the Streisand Effect.

"cease and desist before you hear from my attorneys" is courteous, I suppose, but not Asking Very Nicely. Coupled with his poor understanding of the internet, it's not at all surprising that people like to take jabs at the incredibly wealthy luddite boomer.

Coupled with his poor understanding of the internet, it's not at all surprising that people like to take jabs at the incredibly wealthy luddite boomer. Eh, when it comes to intellectual property rights you do kind of have to be pretty vigilant. Look at Prince; he was really aggressive about it. I'm not a lawyer but I think there is also issues with like silent consent in that case. If you never sue anybody or make any legal threats then you've basically said "yeah do whatever" accidentally. I have no idea how well that holds up in court though. Even so that reads to me more like "hey I really don't want to have to sue anybody, OK? That just sucks all around for everybody involved but I also would be pretty happy if you'd not post my stuff everywhere." It struck me as more of a thing where he was saying "yeah I could start throwing around lawsuits but I'd rather not do that, thanks." I really do think he gets that that sort of thing would be like playing whackamole, all told, so instead of throwing around lawsuits he just said it would make him happy if you didn't post it so a lot of people went "OK, we won't."

It was before my time but it read like there was a front page article made mocking them. Then the moms got angry and sent hostile emails and rather than going "ya know maybe it's not okay to mock people dealing with grief" 2004 SA doubled down on mocking them.

It was 2004. Commenting on other people's pregnancy was the only connection to fatherhood goons could dream of. Now that Computer Toucher is a high paying job, goons are attracting mates and are less concerned with some random broad losing a lot of babies.

Nobody tell me if that's an edit or not. Also is that the same artist that did the Ultimate Warrior comic that would be forgettable were it not for the edit?
