The Swamp

Hmm, could be! Although he gave her name, they stayed in a hotel together and she was still with him the next day.

I went to my 25th high school reunion last weekend. Because they hold the damn thing during the school year, most guys my age came back without spouses and kids, because the kids have school and sports. So most guys were stag. One exception in our group was a guy I hadn't seen in 20 years. He wasn't...

The last week I smoked was the Saturday night before classes started in the fall of my freshman year of college. I don't really know why, but I decided to quit after that. Beer was easy to get in college, but my reasoning was that it still took more effort to get drunk than get high. You can get hig...

I've lifted off and on for my entire adult life and I've never done 225. I think I maxed at 200. Granted, I haven't tried a max bench in about 20 years, but I doubt that anything would be different. I've picked it back up at the gym over the past couple of months, but I doubt I could max more than a...

Daaaaaaaamn

Coincidentally, I saw a field full of bison in rural Virginia on Sunday. I'd never seen that before. It would take a LOT of fields to replace all of those skulls.

Wait, wait, wait. The last episode isn't when Buggin Out gets his face blown off? There is a whole nother season I haven't seen yet? Damn you Netflix! Hello Time Warner Cable On Demand! I'm ecstatic. Half a season of reruns just waiting for me. When is the next off-day for the Jints? ETA: Maybe Jes...

Skyler, meet Heisenberg.

Well, but Jessie has kind of grown. He's not the complete fuckup he was at the beginning. He even has the sense to not only quit, but fend off Walt's manipulations and stay quit. For now. Speaking of Walt's bad-assedness - the scene in the last episode when he stares down and intimidates the three p...

Yeah, "like" all of the wishes - it only takes a few minutes - and then the next morning a generic "thank you, OMG you are all so great" post for everyone.

A congregation dying in a fire during an Easter celebration? Yeah, I'm going with irony on that one.

Oh, and http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Walter-White-Throws-Pizza-on-Roof-Breaking-Bad.gif You know, I wondered about that scene. Do you think they really meant for that pizza to go up there? I'm guessing that was a happy accident that they went ahead and wrote into the script. I lov...

Yeah, they played them all fairly recently. That's why I watched them. My DVR picked them up. I'm sure they'll do it again though.

I've been rewatching some episodes from the last season over the past week or two. Man, that's a great show. Quite the contrast in writing and acting to The Walking Dead, the only other show I watch. I watched the season-ender last night. Watching it again, I caught that in the very first scene, Wal...

OK, that's pretty cool.

OK, size is working now. Just add =width,height to your media tag. Look at mine below for an example:

[media=300,200][/media]

Small video:
[media=300,200][/media]

Trying out the new media tag. It's pretty damn cool. It supports multiple video sources, audio and even maps. You can also set the size (although I don't have that working yet). Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/64378881 map [media]https://maps.google.com/maps?q=john+paul+jones+arena&hl=en&hq=john+pau...

You have completely destroyed the integrity of The Swamp! I am quitting!

Finally!

I split this PM question out from the admin thread.

Who hasn't raised a little hell in Decatur?

When I lived in Huntsville, we went out there a few times. A friend of mine grew up there and had a buddy who was essentially a real-life Crazy Cooter. He told the best stories.

Pretty gutsy to put that on a van in southwestern Virginia. Appalachia isn't really the best place to mock Christians.

Yeah, bloodhounds. It's funny, we have so much high tech gadgetry, yet they had no idea where this kid went, within minutes of his fleeing. Do no police forces have tracking dogs anymore? It seems like that would have been a good idea and possibly could have ended this thing hours earlier.

How the fuck do nuts like this get such a public voice? He says everything, no matter how crazy, with full certainty. He doesn't hedge anything, no matter how many times he's been wrong before. I guess people just are easily swayed by that kind of conviction, no matter what the actual words are. It ...

This kid is 14.

And only 6'1"

That'll do, pig.

Great, cute movie.

Saw this on reddit.

What a shocker. Neither suspect is one identified in any of those 4chan pics.

Pretty interesting stuff though. I find it odd the FBI would release those pics and then say they don't know who these guys are. Obviously they have other pics and videos they aren't sharing.

I actually watched that documentary a few weeks back with my wife. She teaches Education Law at a law school with a lot of idiot Christian students who tend to fall on the wrong side of this "debate." (in quotes, because come-fucking-on) She actually has to be a little careful in the way ...

I like the originality of the name. I don't think it sounds good, but maybe I'll get used to it. They did a good job with the logo though. They made it look cool without trying to hard to make a stupid mean bird.

How would they diverge? A lack of trust that there's actually real gold backing the paper?

(in fairness on my call, it was probably 18 months ago. You were right for a long time.)

The apparent truth, sussed out by various internet sources yesterday.

That's just awful. Do they not have editors over there? How can any responsible adult think that sort of thing is OK?

His IP address was blocked. All of the others are free to come back, and I hope that they do soon. Shirley/Rerun/Dave/Guy Who Had Your Floor Redone by David Sedaris's Brother, thanks for taking over. I hope that you can restore some normalcy to the Swamp. Cheers. I don't see any blocked IPs. His ac...

I'm not saying these guys should even be suspects, but this is a very vivid illustration of just how many cameras were trained on this area. And with face recognition technology, it just seems damn near impossible for the person(s) responsible to not have turned up on multiple cameras. http://imgur...

One would have to believe there is some video capture. If not from civic cams, then at least from the fact that every person and their dog has a hand held phone that can take pictures, shoot video. ETA: and in an event such as a marathon, at that juncture, those cell phone cams are very active. Dea...

Maybe I'm missing something, but why if you guys were getting semi-serious do you take a break because of sickness? Sounds like she completely led you on. None of that makes a lick of sense to me. Depending on the type of illness, I could see a girl being self conscious and not wanting a guy seeing...

Congress has to declare war too, but that hardly seems to matter anymore. I really don't think you can compare closing a prison to illegally funding a civil war by selling arms to our sworn enemies while simultaneously negotiating with them to keep our hostages until the day you want them released. ...

We don't really have any rules here in The Swamp. But I do like to believe there is, or was, a sense of decency.

You threw the first punch, Scottie.
