The Bernie Mac Show was supposed to be a comedy, wasn't it?

"Supposed to": yes.

It's because it's a black show, huh?

:pinch:  Feel the Bern.

I liked his stand up. The show...was forgettable.

:yes:  I was perfectly content during his reign as an Original King of Comedy.

How is that kind of reciprocity bullshit? It seems pretty fair to me.

I'm sure it does seem fair to you.  But one would think Argentina would want to encourage, not discourage, travel from the US.  And it's not like there is a flood of Americans trying to settle in Argentina.

FWIW they do the same think to Canadians.

You know, I finally understand you after all these years.  I know what's going to be in your prepper cave when the time comes: two walls covered with books minutely analyzing Panzer battles on the Eastern Front; one wall with the DVD box sets of every sitcom broadcast on the WB; at least two muscle cars on blocks where the sleeping area would be; and maybe, just maybe, a few guns if you get around to it.

How'd you know I have two muscle cars? :yeahright:

3 out of 4 accomplished. :lol:

I don't think a Plymouth Duster sitting on blocks for 5 years waiting for a new gearbox actually qualifies as a "muscle car", does it?

Man, my mom had one of those.  First car I remember.  Ran like shit.
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

I found a "time manager" button on my washing machine. Finally I might add, now I no longer have to suffer 4 hour washes. Sure, the "Eco" ratings went from 8 to 3, but fuck the earth if it can half a wash to 1h50m.

That's a long time, does it include drying?

Clothes or dishes?

Clothes, no drying. 1½ - 2 hours is pretty standard for non industrial washing machines here.

That seems very long for just a wash time!

Mine is 4 hours for wash and dry in same unit (ugh).
