as long as you didn't say "climb aboard" while smacking your ass and follow it up with a horse click, I think you're ok.

a few weeks ago I farted while asking for the check at a restaurant. it was not on purpose, I was actually having the worst gas pain ever at that precise moment and struggling to maintain composure until I could get outside. my efforts failed at the worst moment.

anyway, I was back there a week later.

grace is an illusion.

Where were you when the McDonald'e fell?

my family and I were in church, eating delicious hamburgers and watching the NCIS: FBI: CIA Christmas Special on the monitors when everyones' cell phones chirped loudly with warnings from the government system:

"Brown Alert - McDonald's has been attacked. Seek shelter immediately."

my 12 year old son, Gladio 2, pulled out his machine pistol and ran screaming into the streets, indiscriminately firing into crowds of strangers. I have never been more proud of his commitment to our highest ideals.

a JBS rep informed them that the entire administration, their families, and business associates would all be converted into sausage links and potted meat before being disappeared into the Aramark prison food supply if they continued to destabilize their labor pool with raids.

Rapaport's career high watermark was Cop Land (1997). he hit his role perfectly and held his own surrounded by talented actors.

if you haven't given it a watch, it's well worth it: a strange outlier somewhere between crime-noir and paradoxically urban western. it was a risky move by its lead (Sly Stallone)--who had been playing generally hard body action/comedy roles in that era--to put on 40 pounds at the gut and play a gentle, soft-spoken, and kind-hearted small town sheriff slowly realizing he's been asleep his whole career, a guileless pawn guarding scumbag HQ, and waking up in the middle of something sinister trying not to trip any alarms.

critically favored and despite praise for his acting, Stallone remarked later that though it was his best work and highly profitable, the film hurt his career, because it wasn't a massive summer popcorn action comedy cash cow. this confused the hollywood star system, which hyped the movie inappropriately to audiences as something different than it was.

I was cleaning the kitchen to the OST this morning. the crumbs and dirty dishes didn't stand a chance.

hell yeah!

Edit: hilarious, i just did Knife Chase with the Varlet+camo and that Pilot Johnny Five Aces for his absurd fee. i biffed it the first 5 times getting used to the Varlet (aka a tuk tuk you can equip a mortar onto) and figuring out how to spot all the BS that comes alive once the tower blows. figuring out i should reorient my tuk tuk while it's quiet before launching the mortar, so i can just rip down the street to the exit was clutch. then i had a success and made $47 million for like a 40 second run. took me to $49 million lol. this is probably the cash cow until i unlock precursor james.

i'll have to buy that. so far i've just been figuring out basics and have made a couple of stealthy, fast moving mortar launchers but i got pissed at one freelance mission where like a bunch of mercenary mechs had congregated out on some farm to bargain with the "concern" for better pay, and i was supposed to obliterate like 70% of them to "send a message". once alerted, they swarm and there's nowhere to hide. so i bought the absurd "Leviathan", put unstealthy shit on it and went straight at them (at 12 mph). they couldn't do shit to me except make me squint at how bright they exploded.

i'll have to get the Varlet. i'm pretty good with the tank controls and like the ramming mechanic. so far my little stealth mech is the Juke, but i'm still trying to figure out my bread and butter money maker to save up for the Precursor James pilot.

if violence has no place in our political system, then we should completely demiltarize, right? and cops should be disarmed. that's some big savings right there we can put into healthcare, housing and food access right?

oh, you just mean workers shouldn't be allowed to do defend themselves from the structural violence of capitalists and their attack dogs, which should continue to enjoy the lion's share of budget line items with bipartisan support. got it.

the "king" thing is really stupid. nobody thinks he's a monarchist. but leave it to libs to fetishize roman republicanism so hard they can't say "no dictators/no tyrants" because that might be too critical of this botched system and how much undemocratic political power has managed to accumulate into the executive.

can't believe "come to the virginia swamp in summer and smell diesel fumes" wasn't a bigger draw than a sale at a Bed Bath and Beyond in Des Moines.

tell them robots are Russian and/or Chinese.
