Love the usage of curr; when I first read about his dismissal of the life sentence, I pegged him as more of a "Whatevz" kinda guy..
Hmm, how would that have worked, though, since the TRE arcs from FW up towards DFW and then back down to Union Station? Would there have been a 2nd line that extended straight across east-west?

But yeah, when they first put in the TRE, I was like fuck yeah, we can go to Dallas, get fucked up and not worry about driving home! -- the only problem is the last train to FW leaves at like 9pm, so you better get yer drinkin done early! (Also, no service on Sunday? WTF with the blue laws still, guys?)

O contraire, but you see, the tree I attached was soooooo tiny, you can't even see it with the naked eye! :p

Yeah, I done goofed™... take II!

C'mon, Brits, you could've done better... like some sort of barb about his failed marriage to wannabe-Brit Madonna or something.
Did you pick that from a tree like this?
If only they had that Coast Guard guy that grilled cruise captain Schettino to question her, they'd get the whole story in about 3 minutes...
Shill and eat nuts for money... .. buffaw.

I'm wondering if you're talking about the fellow in Arlington TX (DFW reppazent!) who has $750,000 in Eisenhower dollars in a mini-warehouse. If you recall, these are the 1972-and-beyond era obnoxiously huge "silver" dollars with zero silver in it... but because they've ceased being minted, coin stores give about $1.10 per coin for 'em purely for the numismatic value and not for the metal content.
He was asked to host Suq Madik and Munchma Quchi's anniversary gala...
HTML 1.0 has olde align=center, I guess Objective-C don't play dat.

Ahh there's nothing like being belittled by a news anchor about your parenting skills :[]

"We finally have an empowered, talented, young black queer female artist and she is performing and presenting as a misogynistic dude.

Wasn't there a time when Queer was seen as offensive (at least if spoken by a straight person? ) Even if gays have accepted it (re: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) tongue in cheek, it seems like in a pre-1960s context, it's almost like the gay version of the word "Negro" isn't it? Or is it fully acceptable and interchangeable with simply the word "Gay"?

True story, I used my Gawker star to get into the Webby Awards afterparty at the Hiro Ballroom a couple of years ago while on an extended layover in NYC. There are many more shenanigans of higher degree in my portfolio, but that's my one good Gawker-relate one ;)
Remember about ... ohhh, twelve+ years ago, there was a story about a couple from Turkey (maybe?) living in NJ, and it was their religious custom for a relative to actually put their mouth around the penis of a newborn baby for some fucked up reason (I've heard about this practice other times after that here and there) -- so, to them, this act wasn't pornographic at all. ...And it was this very act that the proud parents took photos of, sent it to the photo lab (ah, 1990s) to which the lab tech contacted the authorities. Then it made the national news. I bring this up because I'm wondering how much dopey religious practices weigh in on what's considered child porn etc or if they, too, have some horrible exemption...
Sorry, Meathead, but this is forever the quintessential New Yorker.
While we're on the topic, what do you suppose she feeds that thing?
Suffice to say, when Stephanie Bauer dies face-down in a pool of her own vomit in the gutter of a downtrodden street near downtown Reno after the great YouTube Reporter Bubble Collapse of 2014, will anybody notice?
It's one rung below a real actual job my friend has, Tweeter for a local print magazine. Paid to release mundane PR bullshit 140 characters at a time.
K, I meant as far as the contemporary pop music scene of the day, she certainly did. As an avid Casey Kasem listener, I had never so much as heard her name before the Grammys® sweep, which shortly thereafter did her "Have a Heart" single start to chart, and I listened to the Top 40 countdown in its entirety every freakin' week. That's not to say she wasn't already a legend in other genres including blues, country, folk, etc, but as far as the Hot 100, she was not at all on the radar -- and that is what I meant to imply.
