    It doesn't seem like they'll win that fight, but hey, you never know.
  3. Couldn't say it better myself. The fucker celebrated a championship before he played a game. Let's be clear here. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh conspired to make a "super team" when they played together in the Olympics. There's nothing pure about that.
  4. Happy Birthday! Make the most of it.
  5. Yeah. Congrats on that too. Enjoy.
  6. Happy Birthday. You should enjoy it with a copy of the Last Airbender Movie and a lot of booze.

    They tried a story like that during the last season of The Batman. It was pretty lame. Wasn't that Penguin? And yeah, it was shit. I meant to mention that, but forgot to.

    Then you should really fuck with people, and go behind a prop at a school play and yell, "Art thou bored?!!!"

    Come on, man. Do I have to put an "I'm being a smart-ass" disclaimer on my posts now?

    That's absurd. Everyone knows that wouldn't be enough to keep Jesus down for long.
  12. I want a feature that gets me both drunk and high.
  13. Honestly, I thought this would be a more difficult call, but it really isn't. The Simpsons definitely had their moments, but by far most of those were in the past. The movie was actually pretty good, and contained a lot of the charm that it had in earlier seasons. I think the problem is everything that it has done is now done by someone else, and usually better. It has done musical numbers since time immemorial, but those are always off showtunes, and get lamer every time. Phineas and Ferb, which is aimed largely at children, has much better musical numbers than the Simpsons ever did. Family Guy is by far better at random humor, and South Park has far better topical epsiodes than them as well. While the Simpsons definitely deserves its own laurel wreath for what it began, particularly with animated humor, it's not what it once was.

    Those here who know me probably know how I feel about Obama, but I'm not going to hold back credit. Besides, it has to be said: AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

    I've had three tornado warnings for my county this week. Fortunately, my town has the high ground, so I never get them.
  16. So no new Pokemon movies? How will I live with myself?

    Sad. But Her legacy wil always be a bit complicated.
  18. Back before I was in the forums, in June, I went 1,100 miles to see my girlfriend, who I met on the internet. After she begged me to go to a get together of friends we mutually knew, she spent the whole evening on the arm of another man, who was married. After trying to play it cool, I lost patience, and then she broke up with me by night's end. Then last week, I learn she's engaged to the guy she was all over that night, and he divorced his wife to be with her. I am so fucking pissed off.

    Our thoughts should all be with those out there in the path of that disaster. It isn't a kind of disaster that they're in any way unfamiliar with, no one looks at an 8.9 earthquake and takes it lightly.

    First of all, we aren't China. Second of all, federal workers get better pensions than any privte union worker could ever dream of. Unions are not a civil right, I'm sorry to say. That is a bit much. Since the unions universally support the Democrats, there's no way I'd trust them be objective on the matter. A teacher who makes 50K a year who is very bad at their job is making too much. They shouldn't be teachers. The problem is, teachers unions make it nearly impossible to fire the bad ones. My mother was a teacher for years, and for a state that didn't have collective bargaining, and it has not harmed her. She has a rediculously nice pension, and hates the effect those unions have had on the bad teachers she worked with. She's a Democrat, by the way. Sorry, but this is not a civil rights matter. It is a union matter. It's bad enough that people compared this bill to Pearl Harbor. Let's not get more hyperbolic than has already been done.

    Federal workers don't have collective bargaining rights. Are they denied civil rights?

    That reminds me of Rodney Carrington's Carlos, Man of Love routine.

    This is not helping the tone in politics.
