I have a good adaptation for modern age: high pocket awareness. I can’t go long without realizing I’m missing keys, wallet, or phone.
According to elites: John the Baptist was at the crucifixion buying new gun magazine since he fired all the bullets in the ones he had.
When I went to college, I got a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and learned useful skills people pay money for. Be like Frank.
Actually, I probably paid too much for the degree and had lots of loans. Just go to a state college. Don’t be like Frank.
When I had nothing but free electives left, I actually did my final semester at community college while working. That was kind of smart.
Hurm. The Chrome spellcheck seem to no longer work on the Twitter website. This is a porblem.
Ebert was my favorite reviewer. I could usually tell if I’d like a movie from his reviews, even if my verdict would be different than his.
I could never disagree with Ebert on anything in politics as much as I disagreed with his 2-star rating on Die Hard.
Kind of sad to read all the plans Ebert had just two days ago. Might as well be as busy as you can until the end.
It seems to me that Jeremy Iron was making a very rational point that people desperately want to believe is crazy.
On the path we’re going down, expect people to play lots of crazy tricks with marriage laws.
Already happens now with people marrying to stay in the country. They’re just going to be more angles now.
And what is the argument that a father can’t marry his son? It’s really icky to contemplate? Is that a valid argument anymore?
If we aren’t allowed to objectify women, we’ll probably just end up ignoring most of them.
I know it’s a little late, but I want to be on record as being against the Soviet Union.
How did the Soviet Union even get started? It was so stupid. “We’re going to empower the worker and the whole world will follow!”
The Soviet Union is what happens when don’t punch hippies as soon as they leave the safe confines of the college campus.
“The Soviet Union is what happens when don’t punch hippies as soon as they leave the safe confines of the college campus.”
Then we’re in big trouble.
“…high pocket awareness. I can’t go long without realizing I’m missing keys, wallet, or phone.”
Men are masters of the rhythmic, four-pocket slap.
The good thing about winter is the extra pockets you get from wearing a coat; the only warm-weather equivalent that I know of is the hunting vest or the military’s load bearing equipment (belt and suspenders, more or less, but the belt is 3 inches wide with pairs of snap holes all the way around it).
Of course irons’ comments are crazy…they rely on total nonsense ideas like unintended consequences and people taking advantage of law to advance self interest. Only a conservative would make such assumptions about ideologically pure laws.
@2 CCO
that military load bearing equipment sounds like something michelle obama wears
But then it is salon. They also had an article about a Georgia school that offered to throw an integrated prom. They were, of course, racists because they wouldn’t cancel the non integrated proms that weren’t thrown by the school anyway, or something.
Only a mouth-breathing caveman conservative would deny the beautiful binding love of a man marrying all his sons, you wingnuts.
“It seems to me that Jeremy Iron was making a very rational point that people desperately want to believe is crazy.”
JEREMY IRON: (logic)
LIBERAL COMMENTATOR #1: (irrational squawking)
LIBERAL COMMENTATOR #2: (irrational squawking)
LIBERAL COMMENTATOR #3: (irrational squawking)
LIBERAL COMMENTATOR #4: So, we can clearly conclude that Jeremy Iron is crazy.
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
As long as we are being truthful about history – The Soviet Union is what happens when Jewish Intellectuals are put in charge. (The great majority of the first Communist Party Congress was Jewish.)
Outspoken flaming liberal Roger Ebert is dead. Thumbs up.
Son of Bob,
Dude, don’t be that person.
“The Soviet Union is what happens when don’t punch hippies as soon as they leave the safe confines of the college campus.”
I think the hippie punching should begin right away freshman year…kind of an initiation. You know you are successful when the reformed hippie goes up and punches the hippie professor. Eventually the professors will reform and we will have successfully stomped, or punched, hippies out of existence.
@2 would that be ALICE or MOLLE load bearing equipment? Leave it to the military to give their load bearing equipment a female name. I guess that is so when you are wearing it you feel like you are getting a big hug.
Outstanding. This may become my new life motto.
Frank J,
You mean, the person who Tweeted this right after Jackass star Ryan Dunn died?
“”Friends don’t let Jackasses drink and drive” – Roger Ebert
Or, the person who Tweeted this when Rush Limbaugh was taken to the hospital with heart problems?
“Rush says docs found nothing wrong. They’re obviously not listeners.” – Roger Ebert
@14 son of bob
how about the guy that respects frank in his own house.
Since “Liberals” have various amounts of rational short-circuiting in their brains, I only lament that before they died, they didn’t manage to correct it. It’s very sad when a human being goes out with a screwed-up head, if you stop and think about it. What a waste of potential.
@14 Son of Bob, yes, that’s the person you should not be.
“Jeremy Iron” sounds cooler than “Jeremy Irons”.
