The only one you've ever used before is #Not my fault. That was almost a year ago. Your obvious jealousy at my ability to rock a scarf sustains me. Yeah, so do I.

What people normally don't realize (which makes them under-appreciate the sequels) is that Agent Smith is actually the protagonist of the series, whereas Neo and Co. are the collective antagonist.

Not long, since Nazi memorabilia is banned across most of Europe (just another way that they're better than us, eh?). Golden Dawn flags, on the other hand...

birdog, legitimate neo-fascist political parties across Europe are on the phone. They told me to get them in touch with the legitimate neo-fascist political party of the United States, but the line was dead. I figured you could tell them about how racist America really is though, so I'm passing them on.

"What if OCinBuffalo still hasn't figured out thread tags?"

There may be something to this. Tom doesn't have any children.

Also this:

Excellent post. Same to whoever mentioned "Needle in the Hay." I nominate "Second Life Replay" by The Soundtrack of Our Lives

My 5th would be next year, but our class president died and I can't think of anyone from my class who would take the initiative to set something up. Don't think I'd go anyway.

I'm sure this will teach us to just shoot our enemy prisoners of war and count them as enemy casualties. Right?

I wanted to buy myself a new baseball glove from a popular sporting goods store. So I went to dicks.com.

Rolling Stone hasn't been relevant for at least 15 years.

I don't know; we've got our fair share of weirdos on here. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them are tragically unsafe for any woman to approach.

You can find work, but as Jauronimo pointed out it can be difficult to track down. I have a friend who got a BS in Bio, got his Masters in some sort of Forensics thing and now has a very cushy civilian job with the NYS Police. Problem is that a lot of Bio and Chem guys don't see (because it's not readily visible) a career pipeline aside from medical school or a PhD, the latter being extremely ineffective at getting you settled into a nice career.

This, all of this. People with PhD's in biology or chemistry that don't break into academia largely end up in postdoc land for years and years, because there is no real career track for that sort of thing. People go on and on about STEM, and it's a nice acronym and all, but it's really more like TE when it comes to having decent (as far as quality of life) career prospects.

Give yourself a break, I started saying these things when I was 20.

I don't remember who said it first (might have been Darin), but you know you're old when the Playmate of the Month was born after you graduated high school.

Somebody remembered that mulligans are perfectly legitimate political schemes.

So what does this mean for ballot initiatives? California refuses to defend Prop 8 and private citizens don't have the standing to defend it...so any ballot initiative that a state's government doesn't like can just wither away? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a ballot initiative process? If so, I can't say I mind. Direct democracy isn't my favorite form of government.

The real question behind Prop 8 avoided for now, it seems.

Hooliganism was the charge, I think. Yeah, it's a catch-all, but they knew what was coming. And they won't be doing it again. The Duma just passed a law banning the promotion of homosexual propaganda to minors, which goes nicely with the law they passed that bans offending others based on their religion (read: their Eastern Orthodox beliefs).

They willingly broke Russian law. I don't see the issue here.

Yep. Good ruling.

He'll be selling secrets to China and Russia in no time. Edit: if he hasn't already, that is.

That was the second time the same guy tried to rob their house. In any case, good for her. Killing ain't pretty but she did what she had to do.
