This is good to hear.
Now quit voting to confirm Trump's nominees. Make the Republicans OWN them.

This was the first Toure track I ever heard. I was driving home from work and I think I drove around the block a few times so I could hear the whole thing.

(If I'd been framing this question, I'd probably have said "What's your favorite TMBG song that isn't on FLOOD?")

If I *could not* fail?
Hell, in that case I'd go straight for Murray Head's original version of "Heaven on Their Minds" from Jesus Christ Superstar.

And Virginia as well. And South Carolina.
Honestly, the first time I went around a corner in a Missouri grocery store and found the Liquor Aisle I was more than a little shocked.

Drop 'em behind the Veil of Ignorance for a while and see what they come up with.
Like, let them set their own grading standards for the first two weeks.

I still think the best performance on the show was Andre Braugher as Captain Raymond Burr.

I've spent the last thirty years teaching students that split infinitives and terminal prepositions are fine. Glad to see Reader's Digest is catching up.

Mmmm... smoked paprika.
Outstanding addition to home fries, btw.

I'll keep you posted, but I probably won't get it started for another week or so.

On the one hand, I'm really curious about this guy's pile of horseshit and would love to see your take on how he carefully curated it.
On the other hand, I'm kind of oversupplied with horseshit right now, so I may have to wait a bit.

I didn't see Chicago (or don't remember it) in Kaiju, so I'll have to assume it's in Villain.

Popularity only matters if you intend to win votes.
If you're not running a democracy, why bother?

I would hope it's pretty easy to feel sympathy for their children.

I wasn't planning to do anything, no, but I was realizing this month was the 30th anniversary of the flood, and there are fewer and fewer people on campus who even remember the bridge.

An obscure one (for good reason): "The Hound of the Baskervilles" with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Not just the worst date movie, but possibly the worst movie I've ever sat through, period.

If I'm recalling my Asimov stories correctly, water will boil in the low pressure of vacuum, so you can turn a turbine just by having a water tank and opening the tap.
Don't know what that would mean for heat, though, because English major.

There's also this apparent belief that All Nerds Are Male. The gal I married plays AD&D, writes fanfic, squeeees through cons, complained when The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. got cancelled, voted Spuffy over Bangel all the way, and knitted herself a Jayne hat.
Why wouldn't she marry a nerd?
