The Swamp

I think the first time (or among them) I heard "a minute" used to mean a long time (which, really is a dumb bit of slang), was right here on this board when Hood used it. I was confused at first.

Like a lot of American slang, it seemed to come out of the black community first.

Kind of surprising that there hasn't been all that much coverage of this hurricane relative to its strength - this thing is possibly going to be one of the 5 strongest hurricanes to ever hit the US mainland in a few minutes or so. Yeah, I think it's because it happened so fast. Just three days ago ...

I wanna play some D&D on that table.

Now I'm not talking about you (degen) here so keep that in mind, but people can't have it both ways. Either the Democrats have their fingers on the scales to nominate the person they want (Hillary) or it's a process where anyone can get the nomination regardless of how outside the party mainstream ...

It sounds like you're saying that folks who wanted the party to have a fair, unbiased nomination process hold some blame for how 2016 turned out. Me, I think the parties should be able to tilt the scales if they want - it's their party after all - but they should be transparent about it. Don't do th...

I'm currently listening to Fleetwood Mac's first album, Fleetwood Mac. I've heard before about how their earlier stuff was much different. And man, what a great blues album. There's no way anyone unfamiliar with this would identify it as Fleetwood Mac. Completely different band.

Maybe not as pretty as Arsenal's goal today, but a 31-pass buildup is still pretty nice.

This is an incredible video. Dusty in here now.

Some more details -

Steve just had his Tweet replied to by Eric Idle.

(If they go the legacy act or the celebrity route, my prediction for a legit 3rd party moves up a decade.) Say it's Chelsea Clinton for argument's sake. Who would be the 3rd party candidate? I just dry heaved. BTW, doesn't Biden have like a 70% chance of being MeTooed at some point in the next few ...

Catching up on the news - I'm not surprised that Chris Dudley is involved now. I knew he was a friend of Chad's at Yale where they played basketball together. I didn't realize he was the friend mentioned in the story about the fight. I also didn't remember that Dudley ran for office as a Republican ...

I’m sitting outside the Admissions Office at Swarthmore right now while my son has an interview. It’s a really beautiful campus and interesting school. We visited Dartmouth on Saturday and Brown yesterday. I was surprised by how much I liked Brown. You can sing the Mamas & Papas line to yourself al...

That’s great news, bengal! Congrats to Q and to you and your wife for being proactive.

FWIW, I know Chad and his family. He's a really good dude. And huge. I'm pretty sure that if Kavanaugh ever got "belligerent and aggressive" with Chad, then he was REALLY drunk.

God, I could watch this on a loop for an hour. When Hazard puts it in this gear, he's just beautiful to watch.

I think it's more likely that the dad simply wasn't paying close attention to his son. He didn't see him run off at all.

I hate stories like this because I know how they end. 91% of deaths from wandering and elopement are caused by drowning. Terrifying statistic.

God. I feel sick. I wish I hadn't read that. Just awful. I want to hope for the best, but four days...

Yup, that’s absolutely brutal.
Wow, that was a M. Night Shamalayan level twist at the end. I legit LOL'd.
Holy shit! Off to look up what this guy has done...

I guess Thanksgiving's a bit awkward at the Gosar house.

Speaking of which, we went with the Switch and Super Mario Odyssey. Mario Kart will probably be the next purchase (along with additional controllers), but I bet it will be flying off the shelves.

I was just starting to give him a chance when he had Alex Jones on and seemed to buy in to Jones's crazy conspiracies, including the child-sex pizza parlor one. Fuck that. I stopped listening and haven't been terribly interesting in giving him another shot since. He makes fun of Alex Jones all the ...

Yeah, when I brought this up in the other thread, it was mostly about how long ago it was, not the age of the parties. With it being that long ago, there's just almost no chance to corroborate anything in her story. She's not even 100% sure what year it was. The fact that she told her therapist and ...

I'll be honest, I watch so little NFL coverage these days, that I'd honestly never heard of Mahomes before yesterday (or more likely, I'd heard his name but didn't pay attention). Damn, that kid is good. That said, Pittsburgh's secondary was AWFUL yesterday, but still. Even against bad defenses, not...

Freddie Oversteegen - Dutch Resistance Fighter What a woman! With Hannie Schaft, a onetime law student with fiery red hair, they (Freddie and her sister) sabotaged bridges and rail lines with dynamite, shot Nazis while riding their bikes, and donned disguises to smuggle Jewish children across the c...

Ah. Well, I still think that's going to be the first game. It seems like a must if you get a Nintendo system.

Thanks, Turd. I was thinking that Mario Odyssey would be a good first game. And it looks like it works well with 2 players, right?

I hate that she had to out herself, but that WaPo story, with her name and the details of the story, has to help her cause. Right? Probably not enough to make a difference, but at the very least, it helps brand this guy, just like Clarence Thomas is forever branded. Granted, Thomas has been a justic...

Probably going to get my son a Nintendo Switch for his birthday. What else do I need to get with it? Does it come with a game? All the cables you might need? I'd like to get him at least one game that allows up to 4 players. What other controllers do I need to buy to support that? Just one more cont...

So how do you guys feel about this Kavanaugh accusation from when he was in high school? While I really doubt this woman is making it up, a 35-year-old accustion, seemingly made for the first time, and with no evidence ... just doesn't seem like much to go on.

Chelsea now has 4 of the top 5 passers (and 5 of the top 7) in the Premier League. Sarriball is working so far!

Sabo, are you watching this UVA-Ohio game, son? It's been pretty crazy so far.

Also, how is this helping you out?

Some people get enjoyment out of helping others. It's true!

The towns on either end of our island, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, have gotten 35 and 29 inches of rain so far. It boggles the mind.

I'm sorry I have created such a moral conundrum on this fine Friday morning. I will be sure to inform the parents that the whole thing is illegitimate and they should feel no joy ever again in their life.

That would be great, thanks.

I kind of agree with J-Lo, but I voted anyway. And then, looking at the results, it's clear it's just a popularity contest. The kids at the top are definitely not the best performers (I saw some kid with 200+ yards rushing, a bunch of tackles, and the game-winning TD as time expired. Not near the to...

Daughters floor is coed even. Boys one one side women on the other.

My dorm wasn't divided by floors or even sides of floors. I don't think it exactly alternated, but I'm pretty sure we had women on either side of our room. All doubles.

I guess maybe Mr. Rex came home early from work, huh?
