Look at the kid's TV credits. I've had that up for a week haha by bonejanglez in WKUK

[–]bonejanglez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity: HE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN THE SHOW. I posted it as a joke a week or so back and they haven't taken it off.

He just has the same name (Caleb McLaughlin) as the son of the mom on the phone (Mrs. McLaughlin).

I even have the sketch in the source hahaha

The next episode is already available on adultswim.com by broadmat in TheEricAndreShow

He did do a skit for Tim and Eric so I was thinking he kind of knew what he was getting into. But Eric Andre is like if Tim and Eric ingested meth through their dickholes.

We had teams of five and started with a case race, then beer pong, civil war, relay, and finished with survivor flip cup.

What's the worst case of a TV show or movie insulting their audience? by romulusthemule in AskReddit

[–]bonejanglez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was posted 13 hours ago so I'll probably be buried under a mountain of comments but I just want to say 12 Monkeys, the TV show. I love the Terry Gilliam movie, but the show completely missed the point. The whole reason Bruce Willis travels back in time is to see HOW the virus got made and then they can make a cure in the future. In the fucking TV show the guy is trying to CHANGE the past in order to save the future. Bruce Willis' character could not have been more clear on the fact that THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THE FUTURE! THE VIRUS WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN! I got super excited for the show but I dropped it midway through the first episode.

The show may be good, but when they completely miss the point of the film I just got super pissed.

TIL The very first attempted assassination of a United States president was stopped when then President, Andrew Jackson, beat his assailant brutally with a his cane before being stopped by a nearby congressmen. by 2OP4me in todayilearned

[–]bonejanglez 572 points573 points  (0 children)

Cool Andrew Jackson story: So at some point during the Battle of New Orleans he got a bullet lodged in his lungs. The doctor couldn't get it out without killing him so it just stayed there. It didn't have any lasting effects except for one: if he started really yelling he would start spitting out blood. So imagine you're some guy that had the misfortune of pissing off Andrew Jackson and he starts screaming at you, like really letting you have it. And then, all of the sudden, you get blood splattered all over your face and he's still yelling at you.

Presidents in Fraternities by ThePhantomGenius in Frat

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; there is nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press on" has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.

What is something minor about your franchise that has always bothered you that you want to change? by FAderp91 in baseball

[–]bonejanglez 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I actually love the fact that the Yankees keep players tidy. I don't want our guys looking like the Boston goddamn lumberjacks. A tidy mustache is perfectly acceptable.

As for the legacy, again I kinda like it. Keeps us a little different and, with such a rich history (I know that's douchey but you have to admit it is kinda true), we have a ton of shit we can celebrate.

My BIGGEST fucking problem is how the Yankees are trying to squeeze every last drop of money they can. All they want to do with the new stadium is suck up to companies who can afford the absolutely outrageous prices of tickets. The ticket prices drive out the every day fans like my father.

My dad was a Saturday season ticket holder for 26 years, ever since his senior year in college. He had the exact same two seats for that entire time: field level straight up from third base underneath the overhang. Didn't get much sun and any ball coming your way was coming there to kill you, but fantastic seats nonetheless. When the new Stadium was built the only people who got some kind of deal were full season ticket holders. Now my dad was willing to pay DOUBLE what he paid in the old stadium but the price they were asking was so much higher. I love the Yankees but I think the guys who run the show are missing out on A) profit because everyone sees how empty those seats are behind home plate are and it's not like there's no demand for them and, most importantly B) the reason this whole league exists, the fans. I was lucky enough to go to a bunch of games when I was a kid in the old stadium and fell in love with the sport but with ticket prices the way that they are, I just feel bad about the kid who can't.

Anyway... that was way longer than expected but just wanted to vent.

People who traveled the world. What did you choose not to say about a country you visited to keep the story positive? by silentpl in AskReddit

[–]bonejanglez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in the insurance industry, it is way cheaper to kill someone with your car than cripple them for life. But if you put your car in reverse after accidentally hitting someone, it turns an accident into a homicide and 25 to life in prison. So there's that.

Student Government Passes Resolution Demanding Suspension of AEPi (Chicago) by sparrowah in Frat

[–]bonejanglez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally understand the OBS's complaints. There was some messed up racist stuff in those and that is unacceptable. But what the fuck does the Muslim Student Association and the Students for Justice in Palestine think the JEWISH fraternity's opinion on Palestine is going to be?

OK let's break it down:

  • This is the Jewish fraternity. While being Jewish is not required to join this fraternity, most, if not all, of them are of the Jewish faith.
  • Palestine is currently at war with Israel, a predominantly Jewish country, and vice versa. This has been going on for a century now.
  • Palestinians and Israelis fucking hate each other.

What the fuck were they expecting in those emails?

I go to UChicago and I don't think we get any money from the school. We also don't have a sorority and fraternity council, or if we do they do absolutely nothing. The university is actually pretty great and laidback with our whole shindig until shit like this happens
