Some people just need to be punched in the face, it's sad but it's true

Yeah, I guess that's the difference between "I avoid doing these things in public because they weird me out" versus "you must avoid doing these things or you can't truly be a man"...

Maybe the manliest thing of all is to eat a banana slowly in public while maintaining uncomfortable eye contact with any onlookers.

I don't claim to be an expert on what qualifies as "manly", but I'm pretty sure obsessing over whether eating soup or using a straw makes you look like a "sissy" isn't it.

Note that the poster used the word "afforBable", not "affordable", and we all know "afforbable" is an old English word meaning "like shit"...

The anti-Christ is supposed to be young Sam Neill in a sharp suit, not a couch-fucker who can't order doughnuts

So, they can't convince her to meet with folks in the Lowcountry, but she'll go to Middle Tennessee... Maybe she was a big Saturn fan and wanted to see where they were made?

I went to the World's Fair that year many times in '82, but I don't remember ever buying the official guidebook. The copy I own now was inherited from my grandparents. It's full of ads and references to institutions from my youth that don't exist anymore: Heritage USA, Hills Stores, Magnavox...

Knoxville may seem like an odd place to host a world's fair, but it is headquarters to the TVA and close enough to Oak Ridge that kids from Knoxville bragged about getting blown up first by the Russkies when the nukes inevitably fell...

In 1982, my hometown of Knoxville hosted an international expo with "energy" as its theme.

I actually really like Branston pickle with a little cheese... Also, Marmite wasn't terrible, you just have to learn that a little goes a long way... Plus fish and chips, obviously...

Even in the super-red Southern state that I live in, about 4 in 10 voters close Harris/Walz in the last election. There are a bunch of us down here...

It's been so long since I watched Supernatural that I genuinely thought you were referring to the '60s surf rock duo and I was confused...

Tim Pool: quick follow-up question - can you confirm that Donald Trump is the super-bestest and most handsome President we've ever had?

I agree with everything you are saying. The only people I'm actively hoping will suffer are Trump and his assorted cronies. I take no joy as a blue dot in a red state when my neighbors suffer directly as a result of Trump being the president they voted for. I think I just feel sad.

He was super busy figuring out which shows should come to the Kennedy Center, plus he doesn't actually know what Yemen is or where it's located...
