Years ago, when this story first came out, I had read something about Stormy looking to transition into stand-up comedy now that she was aging out of the adult film industry. I'd buy that ticket. Annie Sprinkle did that, at least for a time. She did a show at The Melbourne International Comedy Fest...

Wow! A chocolate "microphone" with a gold covered "wind cover".

Heh.

When Trae suggested Noem's staff is trying to find a happy ending I pictured (NO, wrong word) thought 'she' might suggest taking the Bobert Beetlejuice gambit to its 'conclusion'.

Question. Do some National Guard units receive specialist training for unusual threats? Like say protecting nuclear power plants or dealing with the aftermath of a disaster occuring at one?

Why would rocket launch sites and testing facilities not require similar specialist training?

That is exactly what happened to me. I booked a flight. On the night before I got a message saying it had been cancelled and they would 'try' to get us on another flight. Never got another message, but checking on frequent flyer page showed me on an earlier flight. So OK We get to the airport, and t...

We buy mulch by the trailer load. What I'd like to know is if there is such a thing as a power washer that actually fucking works :evil: I've had an electric one for 5-6 years that works great. Use it a lot and no problems. I bought it off of Amazon. It's a Sun Joe. Mine's a Karcher and works great...

My sympathy to those closer to Gregg whose loss is so much greater.

My question is - Who was the first guy to blow through a hollow stick, make a sound, and amaze the shit out of everyone standing around? My vote would go towards some Australian about 40 or 50 thousand years ago. But I suppose a case could be made that it was an African before that. https://youtu.b...

She wouldn't have held the position of presidency in anything other than Women's Relief or such.

Correct and no such implication was implied.

I can't find the statement now, but I thought I saw someone put forth the idea that the Original Colonists (the Mayflower mob) 'escaped persecution' in England to pursue "religious freedom". This is one of the great American Myths that we should have grown out of long ago. The only religio...

A quick check of stats suggests that the Catholic church is nowhere near as central to American life as it was 50 years ago. At this point I paused, blinked, read it again and burst out laughing.
