Oddly enough, there's an established homeless shelter right next door to this church. Based on their sign and name, they're also faith based. Were they full? Did they turn some people away for reasons of their own?
I'm just very curious to hear more.
If it came down to figuring out the three dodecahedrons or using the communal sponge on a stick, I'd take the risk with the dodecahedrons.
No, they don't cause damage on their own. Birds get a windfall of big nutritious bugs. Humans might be a little creeped out.
Why would a Milwaukee county DA be enforcing zoning laws in Bryan, Ohio?
There was a televised special about this guy, and it's wild from start to finish. He comes across as a weird mix of clever and dumb, charming and disgusting. Mostly the latter and the latter, but I have the benefit of knowing about him beforehand. His victims didn't.
If I remember correctly, it was his absurdist need to fake (and publicize!) his own death that led people in the US to him. He literally reached out to multiple news orgs in his home state to say that he was 100% dead, even though no one had asked. I guess the moral is that if you're going to dangle something that weird in front of reporters, expect them to follow up.
I think Duncan was supposed to be the attractive one... leading to his weird immortal future as a resurrecting ghola so he could keep impregnating people?
The whole thing is bonkers. And I don't mean that in a bad way.
Personally, I think that the original Lynch Dune did a lot to set the tone for sets and costumes for the next 25 years. And it was better than it gets credit for. Jodorowsky... yeah I've seen the drawings.
Who is the bigger fool? The fool or <insert that one Old Ben Kenobi quote>? I would definitely watch this in a theater. Same as I have watched the re-release of a bunch of Hitchcock and Miyazaki movies.
And then we're not considering the whole Patrick Stewart thing. I can't even remember if he played Gurney or Duncan (how is this a name and how much crack have you smoked?) Idaho.
Thank you.
I don't have the patience or tact to offer thoughtful and gentle explanations (as you did) when it's "pointed out" that many people from the region could be considered Semitic.
It's very much the sort of argument my clever nephew might make. He's a smart kid, but he hasn't gotten to the point where he can understand that a clever fact is not necessarily in any way relevant to a complex problem. And certainly not a devastating argument that can simply stop everyone in their mad mutual desire for destruction.
"Well, shit. We were all Semites the whole time????"
In any case, thanks.
I want to find my younger self and tell her that "one day you will enjoy listening to Wil Wheaton read you stories." She will, of course, reply: "Unlikely."
A colleague of mine claims to be friends with some game officials. He also claims that they will privately acknowledge that there's a small native population of cougars in areas south and east of the Great Lakes. They are strongly dis-incentivized to acknowledge this publicly for a number of reasons.
Basically, it just means a lot of paperwork and hassle for them with little to no positive effect.
In the unlikely event one is killed and the carcass can't be denied, it's always a "rogue male who wandered out of their native habitat in the UP or Canada somewhere." (Somehow swimming solo across lakes Michigan and Eerie, or maybe hitching a ride on a ferryboat seems more reasonable than the obvious conclusion that there is a small breeding population).
ETA - On one hiking trip in Ohio we found a deer's spine and pelvis up in a tree, about 8 feet off the ground. Maybe a human put it there, but I can't think of any animal (that's supposed to be here) that would have. Weird shit.
Anecdotally, the people I know who bitch about this sort of thing are usually the people who no one wants to interact with.
I mean, maybe if you weren't a screeching harpy who can't let anyone finish a sentence, you wouldn't find this to be a problem, Noreen. (Noreen is the_worst_.)
They would need at least 30 kilometrics of unobtanium and completely bypass the impact of the global flange shaft shortage. Possible if they source solely from Malaysia, but 9 months minimum.
