Unfortunately they dropped the birthday cake on his foot and he's now out until week 8

Tried to like them but can’t. Might be an age thing. McCartney does my head in. He’d turn up to the opening of car door.

I wonder if Joey likes movies about gladiators?

Great post! I especially like your analogy linking flood disaster policy with gun control policy. MAGA’s indignation with Adam Zygus has been, dare I say, “cartoonish.” Rational people should be far more angry with public policy failures enabling these disasters than with political cartoons whose entire purpose, essentially, is to expose said policy failures in a provocative (and sometimes insensitive) manner. As you implied, the cartoonish indignation serves as a political strategy to run out the clock on a contentious issue until some other news headline captures the public’s attention. The lachrymose “too soon, but thoughts and prayers in the meantime” crowd needs to be reminded that expeditiously identifying and addressing causes of disasters saves lives from impending new disasters. Let’s summarize these policy failures. MAGA wants to point out that we can’t make a direct connection between the central Texas floods and anthropogenic climate change. They also want to argue that recent DOGE cuts to personnel and equipment for NWS and NOAA have no direct connection with the poor flood preparedness (in Texas but also elsewhere in the country). I can agree with MAGA here on pedantic technical grounds, but the smoking gun for me is the state GOP’s repeated denials of flood alert systems for that particular flood plain region of Texas. Scientists had long been insisting upon the implementation of these comparatively inexpensive systems, but Texas GOP politicians rejected them because of foolish austerity measures plus associations with “liberal climate change ideology.” FEMA’s embarrassingly sluggish response hasn’t helped the situation, either. It comes down to this: right-wingers believe government is inherently incompetent and inefficient. Then when they get elected, they do everything to undermine government and reinforce said philosophy. Rinse and repeat. They want to return FEMA duties to the states, but states rarely have the budget to handle major environmental catastrophes (and obviously can’t print their own money and run large deficits). To no one’s surprise, many of these same troglodytes believe chemtrails caused these floods… At some point, the top 51% of the IQ pool needs to reclaim democracy from the bottom 49% of it. If you’re far too stupid for science and rational thought, at least respect the people who aren’t.

Is Food Lion still around? Nothing said "you're in the south" like the Food Lion meat fridge.

@BringBackFergyi have one for you similar to the cow three guests check into a hotel room. the guy at the counter says the room is $30 so they each pull out a ten and head up. Couple minutes later the guy realizes the room is at discount for only $25 so he gives one of the room cleaners 5 $1 bills and tells him to go up and reimburse them. On the way up the room cleaner decides to keep $2 and when he gets up to the room gives each guest a dollar back. So he steals $2 but each of the guests is happy for the discount. now they each get a $1 discount on their $10 for $9. There are 3 guests for $27 and the room cleaner pocketed $2. where did the last dollar go

You ain't lived until you shop at a Piggly Wiggly. It is second only to the mighty Buc-ee's, but only if you live on roasted nuts & beef jerky

Yes, but that kind of thing is now considered a virtue in MAGA world. He dumped his old wife for something newer, better, younger, no doubt with lip fillers and MAGA hair. Shows that despite the total nerd appearance he's actually an alpha male. Eff God and all that Sixth Commandment crap. That's for elementary school plaques, not powerful men. Winning! EDIT: not quite. More Uncle Newtie's 3rd wife or John McCain's 2nd. Or Kari Lake. The kind of butch haircut these closet cases love.

Ah, just for that I’m going to mention it to him when he comes out of the bathroom. 😊

Yeah I’m thinking his best career season is going to look fake… 44 passing TDs 4800 passing yards 12 rushing TDs 650 rushing yards 5 INTs Its going to be epic.

Exactly. Hey builders, lock up your copper every night!

Huge boost for the methhead copper thief demographic

Wish I was blest enough to have a Publix near me. I’d even take a Kroger

Well, if that is the only wish you are offering, he pretty much has to accept, right? Sign me up!

Ha, thanks! And not belated - we celebrated Wed and Thurs, but my bday is actually today ha The full story definitely does - if you want me to share it, I will, I was trying to spare more reading after my OP was so long haha

⬆️ Has never occurred to him that people enjoy making fun of him behind his back.

And the thing is.....I still don't believe we've seen his best season yet.

The only wish I want him making this year is to have his healthiest and most productive season as a pro while capping it off with a Super Bowl Championship!

He is only 3 years older than Trumaine Edmunds.

Excellent points. And imagine a world in which things were going in the other direction, toward a true free trade zone with Canada. How great would that be for Buffalo? Guess we'll never know.
