re: Keep 5 Friday the 13th Movies!

[quote]....but the whole idea that he ends up in NYC is still dumb to me[/quote]
I get what you're saying but they do have summer camps nearby and the original movie was filmed about 60 miles outside of NYC in central New Jersey so it's not that crazy. Kevin Bacon filmed his scenes during his of...

I will go with the Charles Grodin double feature:
The famous chicken pepperoni dish from [i]Seems Like Old Times[/i] and the chorizo and eggs special from [quote]Midnight Run.[/quote]
To this day I have never had either.

[quote]Do You think his MLB hit record will ever be beaten?[/quote]
I think it's possible but unlikely. Unlike Cy Young's wins and some other records the conditions and strategy of the game haven't changed much regarding getting a hit. Players still get 162 games, 700 plate appearances, 3 strik...

re: Princess of Wales releases personal video upon completion of chemotherapy- beautiful

Nothing personal against her but that was more like watching an over-produced commercial for a luxury item than it was a heartfelt health update.
That being said, hopefully every cancer cell inside her died.

re: If you were transported to the 1700s do you have a relevant skill set?

What was the average height, weight and strength of the typical man back then - like 5'4" 120 lb? Assuming we bring our present form back in time I would think the overall health and strength of a modern person would be viewed as an asset. George Washington practically rode his gigantic size all...

Generally true and there's even [u]more[/u] animosity between Mexicans (legal and illegal) towards the other Hispanics from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and the crappy islands. I mean, they hate them much more than we do.

Just go nuclear on these bureaucrats. If you can't fire them, appoint or create a new supervisor role and stick them in a closet with the most mind-numbing tedious work you can find. And if you really want to fire them and they refuse to leave then fire someone else who is far more sympathetic a...

I'm not buying that. Of course they are going to say that but the Pirates are in a free fall and have a near zero chance of making the playoffs. The rest of the team is just going through the motions and he...
re: When 40% of people pay no tax they have no skin in the game
Posted by AUFANATL on 8/21/24 at 12:31 pm
I tend to agree but a rub here are students and retirees - people who are training to enter the workforce and people who spent decades working and paying into the system. It's not really fair to paint them with the welfare brush.

Probably still not accurate.
Also, this can be highly industry specific. If you work in banking then Charlotte is a top tier city. If you work in healthcare, Nashville is a top desti...

You also forgot the third largest state in the country. I will entertain the idea that Miami/Ft. Lauderdale is not a southern city, but Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Pensacola are.

[quote]My car has about 73,000 miles on it.[/quote]
Unless you need extra cargo space I would drive my own. That's a good "broken-in" mileage - not new, not old. Now, if she's really old and you're nursing her along to delay an inevitable death, then you can rent and put off that car payment a ...
re: Serious Question: Wedding Gifts After Spending So Much Money to Attend?
Posted by AUFANATL on 8/20/24 at 5:06 pm
The idea is they have/will give you a gift at your wedding so it all evens out.
But I do agree the concept of the wedding has changed. In the old days it was a bunch of people from your home town pitching in to help a young couple starting out in life and you would return the favor at their we...

Yes, but they have to implicate some specific aspect in the Constitution such as the interstate commerce clause or a direct action clause.

Posted by AUFANATL on 8/20/24 at 2:36 pm
Child trafficking, I agree with - that crosses state lines.
Rape and trans surgeries, however, are within the purview of the individual states and should be left to them to legislate. Encourage and goad them to do the right thing but don't have Congress legislate it.
I know I will get down...
