How is this possible? "Leave the gun, take the cannoli." "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." "Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me." “My father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract.” "I believe in America."

Yes to this.

Haven't you seen The Godfather? Fredo Corleone. Interestingly, John Cazale, who played Fredo, was only in five movies before he died of cancer. All five were nominated for Best Picture Academy Awards: The Godfather; The Conversation; The Godfather Part ll; Dog Day Afternoon; The Deer Hunter.

He's the idiot of the family. Even his father used refer to him as such.

When there's a readily available, effective and free shot to deal with heart disease, you may have a point. Did the dems really spring covid on America? I recall a Kraken or two being unleashed. Because nobody rooted for Fredo.

Whether starting or replying to ad infinitum it does show that you flood the subforum. I didn't encourage a witch hunt but I've made no secret in the fact that I consider Trump a degenerate POS and a terrible president. I opened the forum up one day and there was grouse flooding the forum again. It struck me as funny. The screen shot took a moment and I have kept it aside for his "who me?" moment. It took about a minute to find and post.

That's the sad part of this. It used to be if you accomplished what you set out to do you were maybe given a pat on the back or perhaps someone would buy you a beer. I just nailed up some stair stringers for a small cabin. Did a great job, if I do say so myself. Could someone throw me a parade? Assuming this guy's deer is illegitimate, how do you go about covering this up? Do you slip the high-fence operation a few bucks to not talk about it? Shoot it there and drag it to your property? Buy it live, release it and count to ten before you shoot?

It's the "nearly" that gets me through those dark nights.

This is how the X-Men started. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2021/09/14/researchers-superhuman-immunity-covid-19/

The world vs Grouse.

It's cool you met Doohan. I was thinking about this NOMAD that Kirk beat by pointing out the machine's imperfection which results in an irreversible logic loop and the machine self destructing. In retrospect, it was a bit of an obscure reference but in my defense, I was in my high school's AV club.

It's like Kirk vs NOMAD.

So it's pretty much, "I just don't feel like it"?

What's the basis to ask for an exemption?

I'm not up on this, what is the justification for the religious exemption?

And with that, here's a nice little grift:

Don't follow the beer thread. Is it like this?

Did you read the article? A group of people want Biden to release classified documents relating to 911, He hasn't. They also wanted Trump to do it, He didn't.

I'm sticking with coward with the spine of jellyfish. His tough guy demeanor is a defense mechanism that came as result of a lifetime of people making fun of him. It is his greatest fear and drives nearly all his action. A normal person puts their personal shit aside and attends a funeral or memorial as it is simply the right thing to do for the sake of the family and the bereaved. One of a president's role is to grieve for (and along with) the nation. At a defining moment in this country's history, Trump can't even muster up simple fucking decency. It's a tragedy that you expect so little from a president. My party guests are almost here so I'll leave you the last word.

Well, he did have to rush back to Florida to provide commentary for a lackluster evening of boxing. But I would say there's another reason he wouldn't show up with Obama, Bush and Clinton who gathered to show unity on a day of national mourning ... Trump is frightened of them. It's one thing to be a twitter tough guy and another to look someone in the eye.

Did you miss the part where she said there's nothing they can do for the patients? Interestingly, her video has changed a few minds: https://www.insider.com/nurses-viral-tiktok-persuades-people-to-get-vaccinated-2021-9

Last year at this time I had a group of seven does that would walk down and feed on my lawn every evening. On gun opener, I had 14 does cross my stand before noon. This year, I saw one early fawn in the spring and that's it. Has anyone else noticed a drop in numbers?

Trees. And human insignificance.

A couple of chapters in and it's living up to the hype.
