I assume the first person to calmly walk away while something exploded behind him was Calvin Coolidge.
Getting the Sports Night writing style: Character 1 says something. Character 2 repeats what Character 1 says. Character 1 repeats it again. Not sure if it’s stylish or if they’re just trying to pad 15 minutes of dialog into a half hour show.
Steve Jobs resigns? What did Obama do now?!
Sea salt is popular on food these days, but if we eat too much won’t we change the chemical composition of the ocean and kill all the fish?
I’m not worried about the oceans. Sure, we’re taking out salt – but we’re dumping back in with a whole buch more chemicals that are probably worth a lot more than salt. If you ask me the ocean is ripping us off. Maybe we should raise its taxes.
Frank, it’s said that George Washington was unflappable. So, I think your assumption might be wrong.
What did Obama do now? Perhaps the answer is, instead, what Steve Jobs finally did: amassed more cash reserves at Apple than Uncle Sam, Cousin Timmy and creepy “Mr. Ben” who lives down the street>/a>.
Calvin Coolidge once faced down a hurricane and didn’t flap. He even had to put his pants on two legs at a time.
removing sea salt from the ocean is a plot by the fresh water fish to take over the good real estate.
Here we go — the latest in the Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer “can” series — Calvin Coolidge.
Calvin Coolidge once vetoed a bill so hard that Congress got a migraine.
Calvin Coolidge beat the crap out of Hawley and Smoot simultaneously while eating breakfast.
Calvin Coolidge’s full nickname? Silent-but-deadly Cal.
Calvin Coolidge CAN touch dat.
Calvin Coolidge can stop a blender by squinting at it.
Calvin Coolidge once killed a commie by not talking to him. With extreme prejudice.
Jack Bauer wears Calvin Coolidge pajamas.
“I assume the first person to calmly walk away while something exploded behind him was Calvin Coolidge.”
Fast forward to today: While something explodes, President Erkel cowers under a desk in a fetal position screaming “I didn’t do it, it’s not my fault!!” …and, of course, it will be his fault.
All salt is sea salt. There is no other salt. Period. The new fad is calling it sea salt so hippies think it’s organic or something. And pay more.
Salt is refined and marketed in different sizes but it’s all sea salt.
Dumb hippies.
Silent Cal didn’t punch hippies. He stared at them until they punched themselves in the gnads.
Silent Cal did not negotiate.
Silent Cal grew up helping out in his father’s store. He had contempt for socialist gadflies.
sunrise, there’s rock salt from salt mines, too. On most blogs I’d let such ignorance slide, but we have a higher standard here at IMAO.
Little known fact: before Coolidge, the word “cool” meant “a little cold”.
I suspect sunrise was making the point that even mined salt comes from extinct oceans.
Cat: Without salt, there would be no tuna.
That’s a circumstance too horrible to even contemplate.
Don’t we have like the Salt Flats which God put there for racing cars and such? This would seem to indicate that the US was covered in Sea Water at one time. Along with the Red Rocks of Sedonna which had to interact with water to turn the iron Red. But we all know that the story of the Biblical Flood that God told us about in the Bible was hooey, so the salt must have “evolved” out of granite by being struck by lightning or such! Yea, and the Grand Canyon is caused by “erosion” of the Colorado river!!! BWAAAAAAAAA!!! It “eroded” about 10 miles wide and a couple of miles deep!!!! That’s funny stuff!!! If you have ever been there and taken a serious look you will say to yourself magnificent natural disaster unlike anything we have ever witnessed!!!
Carter, Carter, Carter. You need to study some geology, ussjc. The Grand Canyon area has been uplifting all this time while the Colorado continues to cut its soft rock layers into the canyon we see today. Some geologists speculate that the river predates the uplift by a long time when the topography of the SW was very different, as was its climate.
Ok, fair enough, Cat but sunrise also said “Period.” which demands some sort of eruditic slapping.
OK – I’ll go along with that – mostly because I like the irony of a person being slapped by a Fly.
I played a janitor on an episode of Sports Night.
One of the most fun parts of that job was sneaking around on the Disney lot visiting all the places they never open up to the public. I went into one soundstage that had it’s door open late at night and realized I was in the backyard set of Home Improvement.
Did someone mention flies?
Or, the Crand Canyon was created by a monster flood! I’m going with the latter. When you see it, there is no other explanation other than a total super natural disaster! Geologists…like they know anything!!! How do they explain the layers of rock that are bent in the canyon…meaning they had to be wet and under tremendous force…
Just sayin. I wasn’t there either and can’t prove my theory any more than they can prove theirs. Remember, it has to be “observable”…
Then there are the petrified logs found vertical in horizontal layers of rock – no slow and gradual process can explain that, but a big flood? Yeah, that would do it! Hmmm….
