WRONG!
ZARDOZ SPEAK TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ HAS BEEN DISPATCHING THE BRUTAL ADVICE GIVERS WITH EASE. TOO MUCH EASE. THEREFOR, TONIGHT ZARDOZ SHALL CRUSH TWO AT ONCE! AND GIVE THE CHOSEN ONE LINKS. THIS IS BECAUSE ZARDOZ IS PLEASED. YOU HAVE SNARKED WELL AT THE BRUTALS THAT PLAGUE THE EARTH. GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
Q: Recently, after a few drinks, my mother confessed to me that my stepbrother years ago had been arrested for downloading child pornography and spent three months in jail for it. Apparently she and her husband (my stepbrother’s father) only recently found out when my stepbrother was asked to leave a family function by someone who knew about it. She promised both of them to never tell a soul and has felt burdened ever since. She blames herself for breaking the promise and feels guilty for telling me. But I was able to persuade her to tell my brother about this because he has children who have met my stepbrother. In some ways this revelation has brought my mother and me closer, because I’m proud of her for telling us. But I want to let the rest of our stepsiblings (all adults with children) know, since I think they have the right to decide for themselves how to deal with this information. I think my mother is afraid her husband will be extremely upset if she pushes the issue, and she doesn’t want to split the family. I now feel the burden has been passed on to me. I avoid going to family gatherings because I worry about my stepbrother being there, and I feel terrible for keeping this information from my other stepsiblings. Don’t they have the right to know? How can I support my mother and assure her that I’m on her side while still convincing her to inform the others?

Q: Our 22-year-old son stays with us. He has a part-time job and goes to school part-time. He is somewhat secretive. We don’t know his friends or where he goes.
One day he brought a male friend over and they hung out in our guesthouse, drinking and playing video games. This went on for several hours and then the blinds closed. My husband wasn’t comfortable with that, so he knocked on the door and went in to talk to them. He asked the friend if he had a girlfriend, and the friend said no — that he’s bisexual. Our son then announced that he is also bisexual.
We have only met one girl that he dated and the male friend who was over. The friend did say he isn’t interested in our son, that they are strictly friends. I don’t think my husband should have quizzed our son in front of his friend.
Our son has a chip on his shoulder and an “I don’t care attitude” about many things. He blames a lot of things on his ADHD. He acts like he can’t multitask or concentrate on what he’s supposed to do. He tries, but if he forgets to do something, he gets an attitude from time to time. I don’t know what to think. — FRUSTRATED IN WASHINGTON
A: THIS IS OBVIOUS, TO ANYONE BUT BRUTALS. HE IS ROGERING THE “FRIEND” AND GOING TO LIVE OFF YOUR HANDOUTS FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN. NOW, HIS PENIC ACTIVITY IS FORGIVABLE – FOR THE PENIS IS EVIL FOR SHOOTING SEEDS THAT CREATE NEW LIFE. THAT IS NOT GOING TO OCCUR IF HE IS PENISING A MALE BRUTAL. HOWEVER, IF HE CANNOT CONCENTRATE ON ANY TASKS AT HAND – ZARDOZ HAS SOME HELP FOR YOU…

Is 3 months a regular term for child porn? I thought they were longer than that.
The pediatrician I went to as a child got busted for downloading a shitload of child porn from the Internet. He got caught after giving his personal email address to some kind of CP subscription service.

Anyway, I have been doing research on my own. I won’t replace it until Spring (when I won’t need heat or AC), so I have plenty of time to look into it.
So far, the low-end Carrier seems the best option. Although it looks like this unit comes with a free teenage prostitute:

Some heatpumps have water heaters in them . . . might be handy.
Older houses sometimes aren’t suited to them: they’re more suited to great insulation so they can run longer but at lower output.
A big question is what sort of heat you’re replacing; natural gas is so cheap that it’s very hard to recover the expense.
Whatever you do, if you’re old condenser set was in the drip of your roof for doG’s sake don’t use the same pad: since that’s your “evaporator” in winter it will need to run, and sometimes, depending on changeover temperature setting, you can get ice in the assembly and then the blades banging into it. You’d be shocked what some contractors have done.
This place only has electric. There is an outside unit sitting on a what appears to be a fiberglass pad, connected to an air handler inside, by around six feet of pipe.
What I’ve heard from a couple of repairmen, is that a new inside unit will need some sort of stand because mine has a taller V-shaped coil no one uses anymore.

“Mr Shieff, 30, told how he visited a local farm after completing a ‘35-day water fast’, in which he consumed only distilled water.”
Bullshit.
I’m with you. Assuming he lived, he would have been in a horrible condition.
He wouldn’t have lived.
Why not? 35 days is well within the survivable period without food, even for a Vegan.
Because he’s claiming it was distilled water. Which is awful to drink. I’m not a doctor, but the kidneys’ ability to regulate sodium levels is limited. So his heart would have failed.
Back when I was seriously into yoga, part of a water fast was varisara dhauti (basically, you drink salt water then blow it out your ass).
Oh, that makes sense. I hadn’t thought of that.
Hard pass
After you’ve emptied your digestive tract from not eating, it’s actually pretty easy with the right concentration of salt.

I spent the day doing some finishing touches on my ninth book, which should be out this fall, maybe early 2020. But they’re all medical textbooks — so I don’t think any of you would be interested in any of my books, much less curl up with one next to a fire as you might with something by Mojeaux or UCS.
Are you on the staff of a medical college? Are the books general in nature or specific to a certain discipline?
I have a professorship at two medical schools but that’s not my day job, I’m in the private world of medicine. The books I do in my spare time. For fun, I guess.
The books are about specific subspecialty areas of medicine and are assessment/diagnostic/treatment focused. Definitely not general in nature, although they do have interest across several disciplines and are good for students and seasoned professionals alike. What’s nice is that two of the books are considered to be the cornerstone textbooks for their specific subjects.
That’s probably about as far as I should divulge here. I do live and work in the far left Bay Area after all.

OT: The elephant-sized toddler that lives in the apartment below me and runs around non-stop at all hours of the day causing the large, brick seven-storied building to shake is going to drive me to drink. WTF are they feeding that thing?!
You would think he lose weight from all the running.

I think you just discovered the reason why parents buy their kids smartphones now.
“OT: The elephant-sized toddler that lives in the apartment below me”
I think the word ‘below’ is quite key here. Imagine is elephant boy lived ABOVE you. This the reason every time I have ever lived in an apartment, I will only live on the top floor. And here where I am now, not only is there no kids, period, most of my neighbors are so old that I’d have to actually check on them to be sure they’re still alive.
I deliberately chose the top floor for exactly that reason. I had a place once where I thought the guy above me was dropping bowling balls on the floor or something. Turns out he was just a drunk and falling over multiple times all night long, every night.
But yeah… I never expected to have complaints about the noise coming from below me.
Turns out he was just a drunk and falling over multiple times all night long, every night.
ROFL!
I’m on the top floor as well. I only hear one neighbor because he’s deaf-ish and yells WHO’S A GOOD BOY at his dog very, very loudly at random times throughout the day.
That’s hilarious. Are you sure he’s talking to the dog and not his penis?
He and Zed were talking to the Gimp.

His dog is very real. And about 120 lbs.

Anyone here use the newest version of Photoshop? As many of you (the ones I’ve metaphorically screamed at) know, I’ve tried to restart SNP. Several times. SEVERAL times.
I’d like to do video versions of SNP, but I’m quite hesitant to get a version of Premiere Pro that’s as hard for me to use as the new PS is.
WhatI’d like to find out is, am I just the upscale, dumbass version of Random Drunken Asshole, or does it suck as hard as I believe?
Thanks to all who provide useful input.
I find Photoshop to have about the highest learning curve of any software I’ve ever used. I have Elements, but I don’t use it much and am not very good at it. /not useful input
I think Illustrator is worse than Photoshop for learning.
I know that means I will not be trying it. Or even knowing what it is or does. I write software and if people cannot use it, it’s because they’re dumb. When I can’t use software, it’s because the software is dumb. /what I say
I had to take a class to just bare basics with Illustrator. I’ve been able to scrape along with Photoshop fairly well on my own.
PS used to be so intuitive. Why did they f*ck it up? Just so they could sell more manuals? I don’t get it. I really don’t. Everything I open is distorted and f*cked up, it’s not viewable. Everything I try to do winds up the same way. Even G*ddamn Microsoft Photos handles images better. MICROSOFT G*ddamn PHOTOS.
In an ideal world, I’d be quite happy to pay up for a new version. Hell, I’d pay for an old version at this point. You know, one that worked.
eBay, PS7, dirt cheap
Illustrator is for vector graphics – I find that easier to wrap my head around than pixel graphics which is what PS handles. YMMV.
Right, but I need to work in both, and Illustrator is less intuitive for me than Pshop was.
Actually, Hyp, it’s quite useful, if only to let me know it’s not incipient alcoholic dementia (or at least, not only incipient alcoholic dementia), and I should probably look for other photo/video editing software.
I don’t know what features you need but you tried that alternatives site I linked before, right?
No, Rhywun, pls link again or link to the original. I missed it. I understand if you can’t go through the whole list, but I appreciate the info.
I blame incipient alcoholic dementia for my failure to see it last time. That, or pure stupidity.
Have at it
Rhywun – thx. May all gay maledom bow down to your awesomeness. Though with your love of football and si-fi, you’re more of a bro than most of my bro friends. Sorry, but true.
Mojeaux – PS7 might be cheap as hell on EBay, but the computer I’d need to install and run it on isn’t. Still, thx for the idea. Backup plan!

Not a criticism but from what I recall of SNP yo could do all that stuff in Inkscape. It’s free, open source* and, for me at least, very intuitive, there are tricks to learn but nothing that has made me want to go online and repeatedly curse out the developers.
No idea about video editing
*maybe, I’m not entirely certain that I understand what ‘open source’ actually means.
Open source means the source code is published online and anyone can contribute to it.

Alcohol flows like the Missouri River in Kansas City. Never even stopped for Prohibition.
I had to push a motorcycle to state line rd from MO to KS once upon time. The legal reason given was because we didn’t have helmets. The real reason was because we were drunk. I had to convince my friend the asshole cop was being benevolent.

I didn’t see it mentioned in any of the threads today, so I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned the death of Stanley Donen.
Relevant.
My wife watched the LBJ hagiography. That and googling, so now she thinks LBJ wasn’t that bad. Drinking now.
Maybe she just likes old men who whip out their package?
+100 years of niggers voting for democrats
Right? He’s such a charmer!
That quote amazes me. How do people not revolt
Who? The 10% of the population who knows who LBJ was? or the 1% that knows the quote?
If he were a Republican, everyone would know that quote.
“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”
You went with that one?
“I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality”
is the more damning
“Tell us how you really feel, Abe.”
Yeah but Abe was a Republican.
It was cited to suggest that both parties have always lied. I understand those here who resist Democrats with Republicans, but I will lie with neither. I come from statist neocons who adore the notion of an imperial president if only they can crown the right man; this danger is swept under the rug by partisan simplicities, so I wish to revisit the fuller record.
I don’t hope to sway, but I promise not to lie.
I get you Don. They are both lying sacks of shit.
The hagiography actually used that quote. In a scene where he’s trying to get an even more racist and unreformed politician to go for some civil rights something or other, so it comes off as just trying to reach common ground with the guy but he’s doing it for the noblest reasons.
Was it his war mongering or his racism that sold him?

Mighty ZARDOZ; I think I know who sabotaged your alt-text. ^^
I can’t believe I wasn’t aware of this when it was released.
Saving that:)
Well this isn’t great.
Got to the apartment this afternoon and it’s nowhere near livable. The things that were supposed to be removed weren’t. The bug problem is so bad when I moved the TV they fell out. Landlord says it’s clean and painted. I can see the dust when I move curtains. The bathroom hasn’t seen cleaning products in months.
I don’t think I can get the check I wrote her back, so now I’m not able to get another place. And even then, nothing is open tomorrow and I start work Monday. Holed up at a hotel in San Marcos. Dog and girlfriend with me. I spent pretty much everything to get down here. Felling pretty fucked right now.
Sue.
Document with pictures with timestamps, keep the pics. You don’t want to get stuck paying for damages at the end.
I didn’t move in. I don’t know what I’m really going to do. The lease starts tomorrow technically. I told her I couldn’t move in the way it was and she threatened via text to call the cops if I made a scene while I was parked looking for a hotel.
Sounds like she knows you’d be pissed off otherwise why would she threaten to call the cops when you hadn’t done anything to warrant that. Good luck because you apparently are dealing with a psycho.
I mean I did call her a few times in a row to ask for my money back. She let them all go to voicemail.
IANAL but, on the plus side, rental law is largely on your side once you have a lease;
as others said, document everything, then feel free to withhold a reasonable amount of rent to make up for the cleaning you’ll have to do to make the place livable.
Sucks to start out the relationship like that, but it sounds like that may have been inevitable.
as others said, document everything, then feel free to withhold a reasonable amount of rent to make up for the cleaning you’ll have to do to make the place livable.
Do not do this without talking to an attorney who is licensed in Tx! Sorry Slumbrew, but this is dangerous advice. There are state specific laws governing what can be offset against rent, what procedures are required to withhold rent etc. Doing it self help will get you evicted and make it very hard for you to find a new place once your record shows a recent eviction.
I’m scared at this point I’ve fucked myself out of that option too. Might be able to save it. I don’t know.
Might be worth it to try to salvage this.
You are correct Jarflex – I _really_ intended to preface that with “assuming the state rental laws are like here” – but that’s a _large_ assumption. That would be totally reasonable in MA, perhaps not in TX.
mea maxima culpa
(a) A landlord’s liability under this section is subject to Section 92.052(b) regarding conditions that are caused by a tenant and Section 92.054 regarding conditions that are insured casualties.
(b) A landlord is liable to a tenant as provided by this subchapter if:
(1) the tenant has given the landlord notice to repair or remedy a condition by giving that notice to the person to whom or to the place where the tenant’s rent is normally paid;
(2) the condition materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant;
(3) the tenant has given the landlord a subsequent written notice to repair or remedy the condition after a reasonable time to repair or remedy the condition following the notice given under Subdivision (1) or the tenant has given the notice under Subdivision (1) by sending that notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, by registered mail, or by another form of mail that allows tracking of delivery from the United States Postal Service or a private delivery service;
(4) the landlord has had a reasonable time to repair or remedy the condition after the landlord received the tenant’s notice under Subdivision (1) and, if applicable, the tenant’s subsequent notice under Subdivision (3);
(5) the landlord has not made a diligent effort to repair or remedy the condition after the landlord received the tenant’s notice under Subdivision (1) and, if applicable, the tenant’s notice under Subdivision (3); and
(6) the tenant was not delinquent in the payment of rent at the time any notice required by this subsection was given.
(c) For purposes of Subsection (b)(4) or (5), a landlord is considered to have received the tenant’s notice when the landlord or the landlord’s agent or employee has actually received the notice or when the United States Postal Service has attempted to deliver the notice to the landlord.
(d) For purposes of Subsection (b)(3) or (4), in determining whether a period of time is a reasonable time to repair or remedy a condition, there is a rebuttable presumption that seven days is a reasonable time. To rebut that presumption, the date on which the landlord received the tenant’s notice, the severity and nature of the condition, and the reasonable availability of materials and labor and of utilities from a utility company must be considered.
(e) Except as provided in Subsection (f), a tenant to whom a landlord is liable under Subsection (b) of this section may:
(1) terminate the lease;
(2) have the condition repaired or remedied according to Section 92.0561 ;
(3) deduct from the tenant’s rent, without necessity of judicial action, the cost of the repair or remedy according to Section 92.0561 ;
looks like in Texas you can only with hold rent for items that materially affect your health or safety, and there is a process you have to follow.
And while that may qualify and Allow me to terminate the lease, I don’t see a way we’re going to get the check back
In TX, the last thing you would ever want to do is be behind on rent. The first thing they check during a renter dispute is whether you’re paid up. If not, lo siento.
IMO, without knowing the law in that area very well, I’d tell her to shove it up her ass, consider your deposit to be gone, and find somewhere else to live.
IIRC (it has beem 3 or 4 years since I took the landlord-tenant seminar that taught me about this), the standard course of action if you plan on living there is to keep paying rent as normal and heavily document the costs you incur to make the place livable. Then you can request lower rent and/or compensation for your costs.
File for the deposit now.
If he hasn’t moved in, he can’t have damaged the place, so a full refund is in order at some time, probably at the end of the last month.
The rents and the use of the space are two things; the deposit is a third quite apart.
So reading it, I think the agreement of things to be done before move in were not complete.
That might be able to allow me to terminate it?
I think that means if lose 7 days of rent. I should be able to get my deposit back. I paid first and last along with that though. I might end up losing first months? Ugh. I don’t have time to lawyer on Monday with my job. Really don’t feel like I should start that with a call out.
The rents and the use of the space are two things; the deposit is a third quite apart.
Legally that may be the case, but getting money from such a skeevy person is a quite different thing. Given that DOOM has 2 months + deposit tied up in this, it’s probably best to go to the local legal clinic and get advice. They deal with this stuff all the time, and sometimes all you need is an angry letter on legal letterhead to get your money back.
Where do I find them? Just Google legal clinic?
I am not licensed in Texas, but reading the code it looks to me like the security deposit can be retained for unpaid rent. In a situation where you paid first last and sec deposit and never took possession due to the premises being infested I think you might have some right to recover some or all of the money paid, but again that is not a legal opinion as I am not licensed in Texas.
Given the amount you are out I would strongly suggest you at least contact a local landlord tenant lawyer, a threatening lawyer letter might get you some money back without a lot of cost.
I’m looking right now. There’s one that meets monthly, and it may be worth reaching out to them just in case this isn’t resolved by their next meeting in mid-March.

https://texaslawhelp.org/article/tenants-rights-handbook
That’s wildly useful and underscores Jarflex’s point – in TX it’s a bad idea to _just_ withhold rent. I was wrong to even suggest that (quite different here).
Oh, that last thing I said up there belongs here.
I didnt move in yet. The lease starts in two hours.
I can give written notice, but I think that puts me out either a month or a week.
Pages 13-16 of straffin’s link are worth a read. Basically, it outlines the process for getting and keeping the landlord on the hook for fixing the bug issue, and shows your options in case she decides to be difficult about it.
In many states, you can pay the rent to an escrow account, and the landlord doesn’t get anything until the problems are fixed.
yikes
I know a law student in the area who might throw a scare into her
Might have to take you up on that. I have a friend who has family here, she has a room we might be able to use for a bit. Thinking a long term air BNB until I can find a lease. I just have thrown too much money at the uhaul and the rental and everything else.

I don’t want to ask for anything. Might be out of luck soon though. I really don’t know what to do.
Oh, dude, I am so sorry.
I missed part of your story. Is this a place you were supposed to be moving in to?
Can you stop payment on the check? It’d be worth the $10 if so.
Already cleared 10 days ago
Oh. And the last apartment landlord decided to hold my whole deposit of 900 dollars. She claimed the kitchen wasn’t entirely cleaned. Said it would need four hours of Cleaning the day I was leaving. Apparently that’s an expensive clean.
I’ve hemorrhaged 5 thousand dollars in as many days.
Ooof, sorry to hear it. You got boned.
I don’t think there’s much recourse when landlords pull that shit.
What State did you move from/to?
VT -> TX
I can’t help then 🙁
Ouch, sorry.
I just assume I will never get back any deposit I leave. And I’m almost always right.
I do too, but I could have used a bit of luck this time around.
I just feel like the world is trying to bone me
I sued my commercial landlord when I closed my shop. Eventually she settled for triple the amount of my deposit. I went big and sued in superior court. I had made numerous improvements and documented everything. It was egregious.
I’m sorry Doomco. That’s terrible. If there is a local law school then there is a good chance they have a legal clinic that can help you.
Can you just use some elbow grease to make it livable? Is that worth the money you’ve already spent?
Otherwise, I’d just eat the cost. Come back to Colorado. You can stay with me.

She has no self-discipline. I’m sure her and her sychophants in the media will continue to find excuses for her.
The stuff about the “district office” is petty but if she does not even live in her district… I mean, who does that? Assuming she even grew up there, I bet she never set foot in that area between the day she moved to Boston and the day she responded to the Dem cabal’s feelers looking for ideologues to campaign against vulnerable, wishy-washy incumbents.
Just cracked the Redbreast 12 Cask strength. It’s a fiery pour that needs a couple of drops of water to open up. Definitely worth it though. Thanks Spud!

Swilled a bunch of vodka and red bulls last night. Seemed like a good idea at the time. It wasn’t.
I drink the vodka straight.
Red Bull and Vodka, the hipster Irish Coffee.
Red Bull and Bailey’s?
Bailey’s & lime juice. a.k.a., the cement mixer
Irish coffee is a wonderful drink. Mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1.5 oz Irish whiskey, pour hot coffee (about 4 oz.) over that. Then whip up some Heavy Whipping Cream until it has the consistency of honey, using a spoon, float that on top of the coffee, whiskey, and sugar mixture. Drink it through the cream, and enjoy.
I’ll take an Irish coffee, skip the coffee, sugar and cream.
I always thought you make Irish coffee by mixing a quarter spoonful of sugar with 4 oz of hot coffee, slowly introducing heavy whipping cream while stirring quickly. Then you shake the mixture until homogeneous. Then you pour it down the drain and drink the whisky straight out of the bottle. Then you tell a bunch of lies about how the Irish invented everything ever built.
One of my grandmas was from Germany and the other was from Scotland. One never smiled and one was never sober. Can you guess which was which?

almost right, you forgot to sugar the rim of the mug
Then you punch a hole in the wall and pass out on the living room floor, if my memories of our Irish buddies in SF is accurate.

blackjack: I know you mean well, but if you pour any of my coffee down the drain, I’ll cut you. And Irish whiskey is not meant to be consumed out of the bottle, that’s why flasks were invented.
vodka / red bull always seems like a good idea at the time. It never is.
I have plenty of vodka, vast quantities of wine, some very nice pommeau, etc. I just don’t have any rye, or whisk(e)y at this particular moment.
I will tell this story exactly once; only because I’m drunk right now.
In college during a house we were hosting, after a whole box of Franzia and MANY Red Bull/Vodkas I woke up with three sorority girls and my roommate in his king size bed. I do not remember what happened and I’ve never asked my roommate. I don’t want to know.
That is my opinion on Red Bull/Vodka.

People, fucking tablet keyboard.
I tried a Red Bull once. It has never seemed like a good idea again. Other than wings which I DGAF about, why on earth do people drink that? It tastes horrible.
Tastes like sweet tarts, the candy from my youth.
Because marketing works? That’s got to be the only reason.
When Red Bull came out I drank it, but then I realized caffeine was a trigger for my anxiety attacks. Haven’t had any caffeine outside what’s in a chocolate bar in about 16 years.
I always preferred Monster. Red bull is much less palatable.
It’s better than Monster (and that’s not saying much). I do like the kick in energy that it gives ya. I got home at1am and spent an hour on YouTube watching hit songs sung off key. That ended when the wife came into my office. “You’re an idiot”. She wasn’t wrong about that, either.
Tastes like sweet tarts, the candy from my youth.
I always thought it tastes like liquid Smarties.
While it’s not weird that caffeine would trigger anxiety attacks, what IS weird is that my caffeine/Bronkaid stack (x4/day) puts me in a happy place. No tremors or jitters, no anxiety, just enough energy to get done what I need to get done, and no depression. Also, no appetite.
Caffeine Mojeaux? Isn’t that forbidden?
Nope.
Mixing red bull with vodka is rarely a good idea.
I just assumed that about 98% of that crap gets poured into vodka. Surely nobody drinks it straight.
Surely nobody drinks it straight.
*millions of angry Russians descend on Rhywun’s house*
I was talking about the Red Bull.
*millions of angry Russians descend on Rhywun’s house* I think he had a dream about that…
Ah, alles klar.
I have been known to drink Red Bull on evening road-trips, when I can’t get my hands on some espresso. It’s not for the taste…
I remember it was pretty popular in the dance club/festival scene, and for the drive home.

Damn, that takes me back. 1983 was really still the tail-end of “the 70’s” and that song show it. Nu Shooz, 3 years later, was clearly “the 80’s” at that point.
Some members of Nu Shooz stayed in the dive hotel I worked at in Buffalo in the early 90s. It was in the arty part of town so we got all the artist types who weren’t afraid of e.g. the male hookers wandering around outside.

Developing a jaded scorn of my fellow humans that took years to integrate in some sort of positive way.
LOL, running nightclubs did the same to me, minus the eventual positive integration. Although I really miss some aspects of it. Every Q post has at least a couple girls I look at and go “is that X from the bar?”
Well, “positive” in the sense of “my eyes are opened but I no longer hate everyone I come into contact with”.
“Developing a jaded scorn of my fellow humans that took years to integrate in some sort of positive way.”

Eh, actress. Most aren’t known for their brains (ditto actors).
If she weren’t famous and you saw her on the street, would you think, “Hawt!” or would you just think she was a funny look chick with a gaping mouth?
I always thought she was a significantly less hot attempt to replace Michelle Pfeiffer when she started to age.
Pfeiffer didn’t have a giant mouth. Now that girl they got to play Catwoman (or Catgirl as it were) on Gotham, she’s a dead ringer for a young Kidman.
I think she looks more like Pfeiffer than Kidman.
Carmen Bicondova
Michelle Pfeiffer
Nicole Kidman
Nicole. Singled handedly increasing lotion sales for decades.

This is where we ask if he has a newsletter, right?

That is what I meant to say. Pfiefer was Catwoman. I’m a drunk.
I got confused, because I was a huge Seal fan. And that was the movie Kidman was in.
That was a good soundtrack, here’s the Mothod Man track from it. Makes me want to break out my neon colored Walk-Man.

If that’s what you took away from it you experienced an entirely different 90s than me.
Massive Attack’s Protection is one of the great albums of the 90s, due in no small part to Thorn’s vocals. I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
And to that I say ‘Pussy’. Take that how you will, it’s left up to your personal interpretation.

No Bill Maher I don’t want to be you,I want you to leave me alone.
Yeah, he sure does think a lot of himself.
But enough about me, he was talking about Bill Mahr.
Kyle Dunnigan’s super-condescending Bill Maher impression is spot-on.
Wow, he believes in whole body imitation to get the voice, that’s either commitment or insanity.
I’ve noticed that good impressionists often do that – contorting their faces to try to _look_ like the subject, repeating physical mannerisms, etc. I’m sure some of it does have an impact on the sound, the rest may just help getting into the groove.
OK, I LOL’ed. I normally avoid “bits” but this was funny.
I don’t do impressions, just voices, although my old man voice is based on Walter Brennan, I don’t need to imitate his mannerisms to do it.
Going old school, eh? My best impression is of Christopher Walken (I know, everybody does him), but I can only do him saying one thing. “Whaaaai would you put Mayonaaayze on that sAHNDwich?”
My best impression is of Christopher Walken
My best is probably an impression of an impression: … I don’t understand why you’re not calling!
Like I said, I don’t do impressions, just voices. I might base them on something, but I don’t try to imitate. I was probably the only kid growing up in the late 80s/early 90s who listened to Jonathan Winters sketches and tried to figure out how to affect each voice he did without trying to outright imitate it. Hell, I was probably the only kid in that age range even listening to old Jonathan Winters recordings.
My favorite Walken impression is Jay Mohr.
Sorry, but SNL never allows their shit to be shown over here. Come to think of it, I’m not sorry.
Slum, that’s made funnier by the fact that was before he made Suicide Kings with Walken.

OT: Trying to remember a movie I saw on TV years and years ago… From the picture quality, it must have been late ’90s or early 2000s.
One scene involved a bunch of white men shooting at a house where black people lived, and a young white boy said “but pa, there’s babies in there!” and his father slapped him and shouted “nigger lover!”
Another scene later in the movie showed that boy running away from home and shouting at his father, “You’re not a man, Dad… I don’t know what you are.”
Anyone remember this??
Was the dad played by Quentin Tarantino?
Haha nah.
The dad was some fat bald man with a beard.
