You... really don't get it, do you? The person being tormented is the one who isn't doing anything. That's the joke. Look around him. You've got bubbles being blown, which creates the sound of a person blowing right near your ear and the sound of the bubbles popping. Then you've got the hand organ down the bench, and across from him you have the paddle ball on string, and someone knitting. All are repetitive, eventually-going-to-drive-you-crazy sounds, much like the slow dripping of water is not terrible in anyway, but comprises the chinese water torture.

They might all be little demons in disguise, or merely figments created by the devil, but who cares? We know they're not persons being punished, because they could stop at any time if the action was a torment.

I'd like to believe that, I really would, but let's be honest with ourselves. The current republicans (in leadership) aren't stupid. They've gotten pretty decent at running with donald's bullshit and spinning it. They also know that politics isn't much different than sports teams for the vast majority of the voting public in america. They'll not have trouble finding someone who is charismatic enough to spit verbal acid at opponents in a primary AND can be riled up against the demographic target of choice.

The only real challenge for them will be 1.) finding someone with donald's 'blessing' or a connection to him to set it up as 'taking over' so the republican voters will find it so amazing, AND 2.) ensuring someone like musk doesn't try to torpedo everything by using vast amounts of money to try to buy their way into the ring.

It's the desert, you're just happy you're out of the rain.

Sunfish are the best. Why, you ask? Just scroll down until you see something... 'jolly'

spoilerNow, these aren't official class sails, but who is going to be racing a sunfish anyway, right? ;) I'm also shocked at the price increase. I paid $150 for mine 10 years ago, which is 1/3 of the true class sails needed for racing.

Dude, you want to get together? I've been planning my wizard tower for years. All I want is a parapet around the top with a telescope out there. The best part is that finding an area with low/no light pollution means there won't be dang pesky jerks that want to keep a certain look to the neighborhood.

No, it was oooold. Like, ipod touch old. It didn't make it past ios 5, I think. It's why I'm loving your webpage.

Cool. I used to have an app that would do this and it was great to play with for various scenarios. Nice to see a website version.

The only two I can read are Ted's and Steve's (and Joe's first name?), but the only one I know is Ted. Who are the others?

Okay, you know, that's fair. I personally detest speeding because it is a danger. However, I feel that we are speaking of two different meanings of the word here, and my meaning of the word danger is much different in regards to whether or not someone should be bonded out.

I think either keep your names as is

Uh... that was exactly what I said...

So why does the woman have to do it?

And that was exactly what I was saying I wouldn't do...

One is none, two is one, and three is even better.

That was a great movie, and I had forgotten about it until now. Thanks for the memory jog.
