DC Tom

The full idiom, btw, is "Go pound sand up your ass." Which I like much better...

No, to pick the candidate they preferred. That's not the same as "better." There's very little evidence that voters make "better" choices - in fact, there's substantial evidence that democracies make worse choices, which is why the founding fathers wrote a Constitution that fundamentally constrains everyone's power, including the electorate's. ... <breath>

Brokeback Mountain. Keep Jake Gyllenhaal.

Oh, that's cute...Bette thinks his first crisis of 2020 is a crisis he successfully ended in 2019.

But you can still hear Don Cherry's suits.

It's because Eisenhower secretly supported the Nazis. Why do you think he stopped after liberating France, and didn't start moving again until after the Soviets overran Prussia, Pomerania, and Posen? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!

I'd agree...except it's a very big deal when it's MRSA.

Feel great. Fever's gone.

I am drinking gin and tonics, on the theory that tonic water contains quinine, so is effective against fevers, so is a suitable treatment for the flu. I will claim it's working, as I feel much less bad after four gin and tonics.

The real stress was being responsible for eight other people he was ***** with. If it were just him going around behind my back and calling me incompetent and useless, I could have dealt with that. But actively undercutting my direction to my team, micromanaging them behind my back, bad-mouthing me to my peers, and actively trying to make us miss deadlines to make me look bad? I was not shocked to lose 30 pounds dealing with that. Been out of that situation for two weeks, and feel much better. But enough thread hijacking.

Like I said...when I hit my target weight - 240. I've dropped 320 to 270, and haven't felt this good in a while. Honestly...a lot of it was work stress, from September to November, as a manager dealing with a boss doing bad things to my reports (sexual harassment, racial discrimination, payroll fraud, and metric *****-tons of other petty bull####.) Since then, I'm drinking a lot less soda, a lot more water, and have the flu (which is conducive to weight loss). Still a scary-ass weight loss, though. But I'm not worried about diabetes...it's a coronary that's going to get me, from my habit of mainlining Cheez Whiz...

C'mon...you don't want to see Sam the Eagle and his Romanesque beak replace Graham Chapman and his Romanesque beak? Or Kermit as Sir Robin being rushed out of the castle after Miss Piggy demands oral sex?

@SJ Bills backer: Little hint...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Keep Terry Gilliam.

Zulu. Keep Michael Caine.

That's what I'm gonna get. My response will be "I want coauthorship on the paper." Probably going to hear that in March- I've lost almost 50 pounds since September, involuntarily. My wife's bugging me to go to the gastroenterologist...but not until I hit my target weight.

Five bypasses? Have you been mainlining Cheez Whiz or something?

What's really awesome about that is how much money Bills fans raised for his charity.

Tomorrow or Thursday we'll be hearing "Trump - Warmonger - Iran" stories regurgitated from 2017.

I'm torn between him and Tommy Lee Jones. Because how funny would it be to see - say, Elmo, for example - saying "Call it, friendo..."

But we're talking about people holding him up as model Christian. And I repeat: nobody does that.

You didn't actually read that, did you? Point out the part where it holds up Trump as a model of Christianity.

Nobody does that.
