I don't think I post much now, I think Languish just petered out for me. It had its heyday, now it's much reduced. I also got big into WoW there for a span 4-5 years. I do not believe I was ever in danger of being put to death here.

Man, you just ain't biting tonight. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

My dad is firming on the side of the protesters and said if he still lived out there he'd be on the streets as well.  I imagine they'd hit him with brick and take his wallet.

Anyone wearing a Guy Fawkes mask should be beaten with a bag of door knobs out of general principle.

I'll hold em down while you beat them.
While you do it I'll explain that he wasn't a terrorist for freedom, but one for an absolutist Catholic monarchy <_<

Comic books > 17th century history. :contract:

To me, people who insist on teaching the Anonymous the "real meaning of Guy Fawkes' mask" are as tedious as people who insist on explaining that a swastika is really a Hindu symbol of luck. SYMBOLS CHANGE MEANING. :P

It's just the black Friday craze starting earlier this year.

This is like a national ritual performance, almost all of the behaviour from all parties has been entirely predictable right from the beginning.

The Minsky Moment

Well in a normal suspected murder the grand jury only hears the best evidence the prosecutor has, nothing that might remotely weaken his case. So it's atypical for the prosecutor to give so much information, typically the reason it's so easy to get an indictment is the prosecution only has to cherry pick enough evidence to show PC and the defense cannot present a defense or even appear before the grand jury unless called to testify.

25 days, 60 witnesses , etc. looks like total lack of control of the process.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Wait 60 witnesses?  That must have been one crowded street.

Well one cannot say they were not thorough.

How much of Fergusen is left this morning?

Don't know how much is left, but they apparently hit a Panera :angry:

Anyway, the police clearly seemed to be holding back last night.
