Granger never let a little thing like legality stop her. Why start now?

I say that but, as far as holiday records go, the Ventures’ Christmas album is pretty stellar. https://youtu.be/dkeJiDwAnWc

But sure, keep drug testing the kids flipping burgers at McDonald’s.

As I recall, she had a lot of mounting legal troubles over the Ft. Worth billion-dollar flood control project, which apparently funneled taxpayer cash to her son. And then there was that whole trip to Russia to meet with Putin on July 4th thing.

Their logos and packaging were designed by focus2 in Dallas, TX. I used to work there. Fun fact: The lead designer for Return to Wolfenstein project was flying back from Hong Kong, from a press check/approval of the metal tin packaging, on 9/11. He was stuck out of the country for a while. Really cool guy. But I’m not sure focus2 was involved in Rage. They were decimated by the economy after 9/11, never did really recover from that. I think they had gone under by then.

Put a lid on that Crayola marker, you savage!

Gang you are missing the point. Thompson worked really hard from humble beginnings to become the absolute best at being a horrible human being. That’s gotta count for something, right? /s

Growing up, I always dreaded holidays. I mean, sure the time off from school was great, that’s a given. But getting excited about Xmas just wasn’t my thing. Several years ago I finally realized why: The excitement is manufactured. It’s just an ever-increasing buildup frenzy of the holiday. Gotta do your shopping, and more shopping, and more shopping.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad others get enjoyment out of it. Great for them. Just don’t expect me to to excited too.

Show me a consumer router that isn’t made in China. Even if we were to ban all imported electronics, who would fully trust domestic? I think the best approach is DTA, man. Don’t. Trust. Anybody.

Your public library has a ton of content for free. Music, tv, film, print… honestly, what more do you need? Just throwing that out there.

I don’t think so. And it was a LOT of leaves. We’re talking big holes. He would dig a hole, put in the leaves, and stand there with a string trimmer, blasting away at them. Then cover them up. It was especially odd because the city collects them for free. All you have to do is blow/rake them into a pile on the street.

I had a neighbor for a while that ran his gas blower for a couple hours EVERY DAY. I think he had some sort of PTSD trauma and it soothed him.

He also dug holes in his backyard to bury leaves. Quite a …… character.

You can’t continue to monetize every single aspect of existence with Oligarchs extracting vast sums of wealth out of the economy, without hurting quality of life for the average person and, eventually - the nation as a whole. Allowing these shit heads to exist hurts everyone.

My advice: Buy large bags of beans and rice, you’re probably going to need them.
