There's something fishy going on here, and I don't think it's the chicken.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"Always"

Is that where that line is from?  :facepalm:

I hated that movie.   =(  The only good part was the opening scene with the PBY and the two guys fishing in the boat.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Being a warbird nut, I like "Always" for the airplanes.  Cats, A-26s, and round engines. What's not to like?  Don't give a fig for the story.
Never did get to fly in a Cat or A-26.  Passed up a chance on a B-25 flight once to my endless regret.  Would have been fun, I'm sure.

Well, I've actually fought fires and been pretty darn close to slurry drops.  It ain't nothing like that.

Never heard of it. I guess it couldn't be much good, since Dreyfuss is in it.

I liked it.

No, he died when that airplane blew up.  But his ghost is still looking over people's shoulders  =D

He gave one of the better response tweets on the Batfleck incident just recently, so yeah.
