Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”

Also conservatives: “Not like that.”

SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.

In that case, “a lot” instead of alot. I might as well put The Oatmeal's excellent guide here.

This almost made me spit out my breakfast from laughing. Back in the early 2000s, one of my students discovered He-Man and found Fisto to be the most hilariously unintentional—maybe—double entendre in the history of the universe. He was a drummer, and went on to name his bass drum pedal Fisto.

Some little chickens I just turned. Inspired by Andy’s Cornish Creations, from L to R: birch, Myrtlewood, some kind of rosewood (we think), and maple.

Minus one for that media player. Lack of controls is really irritating. I don’t care to be forced into vertical videos, either—despite what some puppets think.

His “Ahm just a simple country fella asking questions” bit is so tired. Dude went to Vanderbilt, then was magna cum laude at U Virginia Law, THEN got another law degree with honors at Oxford. In the 2000s he ran for Senate as a Democrat, then switched to Republican.

Jackass.

The guy’s children were doing the sale and didn’t know what this is. It was too beautiful to pass up.

“…may be the largest example of fossilised human feces ever found, measuring 20cm (8 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide! Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread. It dates back to approximately the 9th century and the person responsible is believed to be a Viking.”

It’s pretty big…I guess.

Is this the “I was only driving the getaway car” defense?

I just finished this bandsaw box today; my first serious attempt. The Smile Box design is originally by Parillaworks.

Mine is white oak, with an American cherry drawer pull and Myrtlewood feet. The box was finished with Danish oil, and for the pull and feet I used walnut oil.
