Plus there's money and votes to be had.

The problem is that the media and politicians are trying to appeal to people's emotions and fears rather than looking at empirical evidence. The statistics just don't match the emotional outcry.

Yes. Hell Yes. FUCK YES.

A few naps too, if I recall.

More than a few Christian "feats of strength" and abstinence only seminars, too. Got in a lot of Game Boy play time because of them.

No gun safety, though we did learn butchering and proper meat handling. Oh, and acetylene balloons.

I regularly clean and maintain firearms while drinking alcohol. I just make sure to lock up all the ammo beforehand. Again, totally legal to drink and carry in Texas provided you aren't intoxicated or appear to be intoxicated. Kind of fucked up, but there you go.

For clarification, the DVD power switch is a latching switch, aka a push-to-make/push-to-break switch, like the power switch for the NES; hence the reason you can't remotely turn it on/off.

Discovered a very specific "feature" troubleshooting my parent's TV setup. One HDMI input is hooked to a DirecTV receiver, and one set of RCA inputs is hooked to a old ass DVD player. The DVD player has a manual power button; switch off puts it into standby mode, switch on energizes the player. There is no on/off via remote, just playback controls. With the switch off DirecTV works, but when you hit the switch the HDCP in the DirecTV receiver kicks on and displays a "TV does not support this program's content protection" error message. Apparently, the DirecTV receiver can detect when the RCA input on the television receives signal. Fascinating.

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.

Tons of Ticketmaster vouchers; nothing in Texas but a handful of shows at the old Starplex in Dallas

wearing sweatpants didn't help either

Just like there's nothing stopping you from driving a car without a license or insurance, there's also nothing stopping you from stashing a gun in your pants before you go to a night club.

I just want to watch the whole world burn Lost a million times and I won't learn Show me someone innocent, I'll show you there's no proof I may be gone but I'm no fool

God damn that brisket was sublime.Locally made sausage and some homemade cornbread and son of bitch did I stuff myself. Holy shit.

I'm guessing he fucked the avocado. Isn't the internet wonderful?

IT'S RAINING...patio furniture?
