Spike and Bammer have finally found common ground

[BurtReynolds]

Breathalyzer once. No FST. Once a cop gave me a ride home because I was way too drunk to drive my car the rest of the way home.

Cops are the worst

Tell us Burt’s not black without telling us Burt’s not black.

Im charismatic.

Hey Burt, I saw my nose this morning. There was a thread from our comforter on it so it really stuck out, and when I adjusted my eyes, there it was!

[BurtReynolds]

Good! Being able to see through illusions is the first step to seeing the truth about the (flat) world.

You were wearing a damn cowboy hat, weren't you? Instant let-off.

“He’s probably as racist as me! Same team!”

[Ello Sailor]

Just a good ol' boay. Hey uh, pard... what's with the cartoon titties?

Do you know any adults who spend a large percentage of their free time playing video games?

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

no

I am one of those. But I don't have much free time. And I'm doing other things while playing, like listening to music or podcasts and hanging out with wife.

Do you know any adults who spend a large percentage of their free time playing video games?

I know a few, maybe 2 or 3. Nobody I'm close to

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I know some who probably would if not married with kids. But I live in a giant nerd area.

Video games are awesome.

I got stopped for speeding in Texas on my way home from Ft. Worth over the weekend...more than 10 miles above the speed limit. It's finally been posted on the website of the municipal court of the town where it happened. I've not gotten a speeding ticket since 2007, and I just remember mailing in the fine, and accepting it would be on my record for 7 years.

This time I can pay online vs. mailing it in, but I can choose my plea...guilty or no contest. The way I understand it, if I choose No Contest, it just means the state can prove I did what I've been cited for.

If I choose no contest, does that mean I have to show up in court?
