McDonald's Filet-O-Fish. You asked, I answered...
That's a novel defense: "he was larger than me your honor so I didn't think sexually assaulting him was technically a sexual assault...."
Liver is vile.
Everything else is a matter of choice. There are some vile egg nogs in the market so one shouldn't judge it on one sample. If Hood brand is available, it's decent even if it's isn't great. If someone thinks Hood is vile then they most likely won't ever like it.
It's very rich, so a small glass is more than enough. What Eddie was drinking looked more like milk between the color and consistency. Good egg nog has the color of French Vanilla ice cream and is thick like light cream from the carton.
It might be an acquired taste, but I've always enjoyed good egg nog. Here in the Northeast part of the U.S., it's common from Thanksgiving through Christmas, but there are many recipes and they all taste different, some quite bad actually, so don't judge the form by one example. Around here, Hood makes a decent safe egg nog. I've never made it at home. I doubt many people make it at home as it's a dairy product and is more convenient to purchase pre-made.
FWIW, I've never had Plum Pudding and that fascinates me every time I see one of the many Christmas Carol versions. They sell them by mail but I don't want to try one if it doesn't do Plum Pudding any justice.
You're being generous. Bill Clinton was a rapist. Hillary knew it, defended him, and that makes her an accessory to rape.
So true. There are really two issues here.
The first is the supposed first amendment issue which of course is nothing of the sort. There is no government official breaking into homes in the middle of the night and dragging NFL players out for speaking out against their government. There is a time and place for anyone to make a case for their cause no matter how important or how stupid it is. White supremacists have a perfect right to spew their vile hate, but I don't want it at a football game, church, funeral etc. Also, I wonder how many of these NFL players would feel the same if they became an owner and found themselves losing revenue. Team owners have hundreds of million of dollars invested in their teams and it's unfair for players to use the NFL as their soapbox.
The second issue is the cause itself, which everyone it seems is afraid to tackle. As a black man, I remember clearly the militants of the 60s and had a lot of sympathy for the cause. I attended many marches and rallies at college. Today we have the NFL players taking a knee because black men are being killed by police which would seem a worthy cause, but the vast majority of those killed had a rap sheet a mile long including violent crimes. They refuse to obey directives from the police and usually attack or pull weapons. The NFL players would have you believe that the police are pulling over and shooting young black men on the way to bible class. Of course there are incidents where purely innocent black men are killed by police, but the percentages of these roughly mirror the incidents with white men in the same circumstance.
If we are to assume the NFL player's cause is right, the next logical step is to say that young black men are inherently incapable of acting in a civilized manor when it comes to authority, and I'm sure there are plenty of white folks who believe this. Anyone who thinks black men should be given a pass because they can't deal civilly with authority is a racist. I think we are better than that.
The count itself wasn't important - what was important is that the commander of the Dallas asked him to reply in the affirmative with one ping. Two pings I assume would indicate no to his questions. If the Dallas asked him to ping "shave and a haircut", then that's what Ramius would have asked Vasily to do.
I don't see the Islamist connection; the Krill seem to have at least some charm and decency at times..
I didn't see any transgenders. If you mean Bortus, his race is monogender.
I nearly split a guy when the first strains of My Heart Will Go On started on the Kaoroke track, and laughed even more when Bortus was interrupted by the emergency, but I had bet my wife that the "button" scene would have Bortus again attempt it, and actually sound exactly like Dion (using her voice dub).
If it's a 1/2 or 3/4 pipe, go to home depot and get a small pipe cutter, two Sharkbite couplers of the correct size and a small piece of Pex. Shut off your main valve, cut out the damaged pipe, install the Sharkbites and Pex plastic pipe and you can have that done in no time.

Or we've gotten used to it!!!
I've been complaining about what I always referred to as a "female guttural growl" (for lack of a better term) for twenty something years, but never heard a name assigned to it.
In any case, it used to drive me nuts, but I've become more numb to it over the years, but do miss the lyrical tone that's the natural timbre of the female voice. I didn't find any of this annoying in The Orville yet.
One of the pleasures of old movies and TV shows is to hear natural female voices. Even women with normally low registers (Patricia Oneal) are smooth and well modulated.
Ordinarily, curiosity would have gotten the best of me and I would have gone to see the movie because of the (likely) unprecedented move of reshooting a movie so close to release.
Ordinarily...
Since Hollywood decided that freaks, illegals, terrorists, gender perverts, rapists, pedophiles, etc., are deserving of more love than the taxpayers of Middle America and push the political candidates that promote this perversion of America, I haven't paid for anything that swamp produces - other than of course the money they get from my cable subscription which is more than enough in my opinion.
I will end up streaming the movie with my VPN internet instead. I'll see the movie but won't give Hollyweird another penny. They actually did me a favor. When watching at home, the picture and sound is better, the food is spectacular and healthy, the the bathrooms are spotless.
You beat me to it. Avoid at all costs the farce remake (Quaid). The 1965 version boasts a cast of top flight actors. Gripping as few '60s movies are.
IMDB? Oh yeah, I remember that toilet. Not only will I refuse to go there but I have an addon in Firefox to block Google returns from certain sites. IMDB is the first in the list. When I Google, IMDB used to be the top return, now it's gone.
F them.
I didn't take that survey, but I vote the movie a 10 on the now defunct movie site. It was my grandmother's favorite film, and she was the granddaughter of a slave.
Today's idiots on the left don't understand what a landmark performance this was for black performers. In a time when blacks were portrayed as Stepin Fetchit type buffoons when they did appear in white movies, Mammie was a black character that held sway with the white folks she was a slave to. Mammie was the strongest and most moral character in the entire film. Back then, this was monumental - today it's shameful...
Today, the left is angry that GWTW didn't show slaves being abused other than being held as slaves. As a black American I submit that anyone who thinks that the two families depicted in this film could not have been benevolent to their slaves simply because they're white, are in fact themselves racist to believe that.
GWTW (as a film, I didn't read the book) does not glamorize or excuse the institution, it merely presents it as a way of life, which in fact it was in the South until the Civil War mercifully ended it.
[quote]I love the movie, but it's a bit of a stretch of artistic license. [/quote]
I guess, but wouldn't classify it as a goof.
Different time the 40s were. WWII was over and America was full of optimism. My dad came home from WWII met and married my mom in the space of a year. Fred was a mature man and lawyer and Doris was a widow with a child and a business professional. They were pretty level headed people.
Still, four weeks is pretty short but many people have met their spouses on their wedding day (one of my buddies from Pakistan did).
[quote]I doubt he's a fan cause he can't even pronounce his name right. He called him "Turtleman" twice.[/quote]
LOL. Excellent observation.
The conspiracy theorists might then suggest he was purposely butchering the name to feign indifference to the doll.
[b]But even so, my answer to that would be "why Christmas Eve" of all times to get himself a doll? If he was a fanboy of the toy he'd have bought one much earlier and not waited for Christmas Eve. [/b]
And even if he decided on the 24th that he suddenly wanted one, I'm sure he'd rather wait a few more days after Christmas for the next shipment as opposed to risking his life by climbing a dangerous roof if it was just for himself. No, it was clear that he *had* to get a Turtleman doll before the end of the day. Even a fanboy could realize that they were sold out and would simply get one next shipment.
It's quite clear that Myron and Howard made the same mistake; waited too long to get the gift both their sons wanted in time for Christmas morning and paid the price for not being attentive enough (which was the point of the movie).
Fortunately, both were able to come through for their kids and give the kids *and* us a happy ending.
[quote]Yeah, real funny, that's called assault.[/quote]
Well, in today's "enlightened" reality, what Ted did was a rape. Political correctness aside, Ted did corner Liz and put his hands on her. A little eggnog delivered via thermos is hardly an "assault" to a guy that tried to bed the wife of a friend IMO. And how far would have Ted have gone if he didn't get Thermosly nogged?
Me a beta? Hardly. "Secure" is a far more accurate description. If my wife told me that happened to her I'd laugh and pat her on the back. But I have to also say that if anyone hurt or tried to hurt my wife or kids, nothing on this earth would prevent me from delivering retribution in any manner in my power. And I actually mean "hurt", not flirting or saying something suggestive. I'm sure most men are the same way, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as well..
"What caught me off guard, was that speech to her kid near the end, when she handed him gun and said she set it on stun, because they're not like the people on the planet and don't go around killing people."
>>True, but she was indeed his prisoner, she was scared, and she didn't know if her kids were OK. What I should have said is that I was surprised more by the fact that he didn't turn out to be the savior but was killed instead. From where I sat in front of my TV, I thought he'd end up being a good guy. If I was *really* in that situation there's nothing that would have stopped me from trying anything to get away from him and getting to my kids. The only way she was going to escape was to kill him given the fact that she didn't have a weapon that could stun.
"the guy went off to get medicine for her. If he was a rapist, could've done her while she was unconcious."
>>I agree. Still, he could have been fattening her up like a Christmas goose... :)
