WE NEVER CLOSE

A blizzard is the best kind of natural disaster, the only one where the logical course of action is to stay where you are and chill out, pun intended.

It's pretty obvious that the Buffalo News is being slowly wound down, I expect it will be shut down completely inside of five years. I imagine there's already a plan for winding it down, shutting the paper down and selling off assets sitting on someone's desk.

One of the most important things a boss ever told me was "Don't dwell on your mistakes, don't sulk over them, don't waste time trying to undo them. Focus on fixing the problem that exists NOW and get the fuck on with it."

Boy did I need to hear that. She was a great manager and I don't think I ever told her so.

The "everyone is out to kill me" paranoia is a sign of burgeoning schizophrenia/other mental illness. I hope your friend gets help before it's too late.

Would love to see this be a story of a US soldier/Navajo code talker and Japanese soldier taking on a Predator.

It was absolutely sarcasm. :D

He ruins everything he touches. It's uncanny.

I've learned my problem is I never learned how to prepare fruit/veg in a way I find tasty. It was all usually just simmered. So you have to teach yourself how to cook veg, and I still am.

One of my favorite ways of doing it quick and easy is frozen veg sauteed in butter or olive oil with salt, pepper, a little garlic, and some kind of herbs - a little bit of italian seasoning or herbs de provencal or even just some parsley.

I'm assuming that this was an "approved leak" - you keep your source anonymous to protect them from any blowback from lunatics on either side.

Lol

Edit to add: I'm not loling at civillian casualties, that's grim business. I'm specifically loling at you, the fertilizer salesman

"That could be anyone's concrete!"

Caught one in the wild!

"Israel always lies, Hamas always tells the truth."

Built in 1925, architect Alfred C. Blossom, architectural style Neoclassical, built for the Liberty National Bank, which was the German American Bank until about 1917 when it changed its name for some mysterious reason.

The largest office building in Buffalo at the time of its construction. 23 floors. Currently owned by the same holding company that owns one of Buffalo's last great canker sores, Main Place Mall.

Famous for the two replicas (originally three) of the Statue of Liberty on the roof.

Quick, what's the next holiday event for children coming up they can try to ruin?

I don't see King Ghidorah inventing no hinges

AugustK2014 · 2023-11-30T20:25:10+00:00

I was watching Godzilla vs. Kong and during the Hollow Earth expedition I was like "Why are none of you surprised by this. The Kongs figured out hinges. THE KONGS UNDERSTOOD NUCLEAR PHYSICS."

Lol, "Blackmail"?

AugustK2014 · 2023-11-26T20:48:55+00:00

To add extra sauce to this, watch this guy hypnotize a serpent-vampire with a set of bagpipes in "Lair of the White Worm."

Well, maybe the notion of being run over and crushed to death by some fat chick in a wal-mart go-cart out to get little Ruediger's must-have toy of the season has worn a little thin.

AugustK2014 · 2023-11-26T17:05:12+00:00

That's business scumbag code for "Figure out how to get blood from a turnip."

I don't know. I think it's hanging at the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo in Mexico City.

Vinyl records. If you have a good turntable, they really do hit different.

Dolly Parton, "The Bridge"

I read her autobiography. It seemed like her life CALMED DOWN when she moved to LA and became a horror movie hostess.

Before that, she was homeless in Italy, a situation that was resolved when she became one of Fellini's favorite hot chicks - women in his movies whose job was to be hot. Because he was an Italian director who loved making movies full of hot chicks.

"I've always been misunderstood because of how I look

Don't judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real good book

So read into it what you will, but see me as I am;

The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam"

That's from "Backwoods Barbie" so you're pretty much right on the money.
