"What Ninja Turtle are You?" - best pickup conversation starter

[Hugh Akston]

Michelangelo is the slutty one right? Or-or is it Raphael?

[Episiarch]

Obviously it's Donatello. Don't you know anything, Hugh?

[Hugh Akston]

You idiot, Donatello is the quiet brainy one with low self-esteem that you can neg into coming home with you after two girly drinks.

[Episiarch]

Congratulations, Hugh, you just managed to take the fun out of the word "slutty".

[Hugh Akston]

One word down, several thousand to go.

[Chipper Gore]

The turtles are the four humors, just like Sex and the City. Cracked made a video. Good stuff.

[BearOdinson]

mmmmm drugs are bad, k? So don't do drugs, k? If you do drugs, k, then....you're bad, k? So.... don't do drugs, k?

[Citizen Nothing]

We've got an old Neo Geo arcade game in the basement. Every time we turn it on, William S. Sessions reminds us that drugs are for losers.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Neo Geo? That was high end back in the day...

[Citizen Nothing]

That's the way I roll, PM.

[PACW]

I still haven't forgiven the folks who decided to disarm the turtles for the second movie.

[Paul.]

Ok, how much do I have to donate to make the Buzzfeed headlines stop? Give me a figure.

*slides cocktail napkin across table to Gillespie*

OT: Greece's new foolproof plan to fix their economy: Tax the productive.

"We [will] try to remove the tax burden from pensions and wages towards business and the wealthy," he said.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Ha, ha.

Not funny.

[Suthenboy]

Oh yes it is. It is hilarious. The Greeks remind me of the old Jerry Lewis schtick where he gets a small piece of tape stuck on his fingers and in the course of trying to remove it ends up completely wrapped up in the whole spool of tape.

They are engaging in some kind of performance art, right?

[Juvenile Bluster]

I always knew the lizardpeople were behind drugs in this country. And you fools thought it was just the CIA.

[adolphowisner]

This will be the down fall to the greatest country on the planet. too many leaches think they are entitled to other peoples earnings. ????? http://www.Workweb40.com

[X[redacted]s]

Ha!

[Charles Easterly]

It's good for us they weren't leeches.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I got a worm snake with my grass trimmer last night. He was probably stoned anyway.

[mad.casual]

I think the video needs more emojis. Nothing debases teen anti-drug messages like videos full of emojis aimed at adults.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

I don't want to link the article because this is so horrible it doesn't deserve additional traffic, but here is a quote from a Huffington Post article about a woman that wishes she was black:

"I definitely experienced this. There was a time in my 20s when everything I learned about the history of racism made me hate myself, my Whiteness, my ancestors... and my descendants. I remember deciding that I couldn't have biological children because I didn't want to propagate my privilege biologically."

"Daniel Tatum said we need to change this. We need to give White people new ways to identify as White. Because at the end of the day, we need White people to see that we are White. When we recognize and own our Whiteness, we can account for our own portion, our one 1/billionth of responsibility for what White people have done throughout history. We can work with other White people to begin to challenge bias, ignorance and colorblindness. We can use our privilege to confront the sources of that unfair favoring."

This degree of self-loathing is almost indescribable.

[Suthenboy]

The walking, talking definition of 'useful idiot'.

"I hate my culture. It must be destroyed."

[Episiarch]

But, weirdly, it's an incredibly self-indulgent self-loathing. It's like they're addicted to it and actually enjoy it. I mean, do these people who decry their own collective guilt ever do anything about it, since they claim to care so much, that actually costs them anything? All I see is a lot of whinging and social signaling, and zero sacrifice on their part.

It's just a twisted form of narcissism. "Look at me, I'm so wracked with guilt! Give me all the attention even as I say I feel guilty that I get attention!"

[Agile Cyborg]

Your ability to tolerate left-wing insanity by ingesting it for the team is admirable.

[John Titor]

Our one 1/billionth of responsibility for what White people have done throughout history

This group shaming always confuses me, especially the inborn assumption that so many people are racially 'purebred'. I mean, I'm mostly of European ancestry, but also a bunch of Metis ancestry on my mother's side. What am I supposed to do to get the one billionth of my white responsibility? Apologize to myself for smallpox?

[Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton]

Sounds like the syllabus of semi-required Ethnic Studies 101 at the local college.

(there are other classes that cover the diversity requirement, but you have to take one)

[DesigNate]

"When we recognize and own our Whiteness, we can account for our own portion, our one 1/billionth of responsibility for what White people have done throughout history."

Does that include all of the good things "white people" have done?

[Juvenile Bluster]

I remember deciding that I couldn't have biological children because I didn't want to propagate my privilege biologically.

Hopefully she kept that decision. Society would be well served if this person didn't breed.

[John Titor]

I can't believe you didn't include "I learned it from watching you."

[Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton]

reason put that one in the first group of drug PSAs. They only reposted that article a half dozen times or so, including this past weekend.

[Charles Easterly]

"If you aren't high by now, post some links to more drug PSAs in the comments section below."

Very well: Don't use drugs or you will end up banging a sheep

[Episiarch]

Ahem.

[Charles Easterly]

Now that might actually be effective.

[Agile Cyborg]

Prison is reasonable because the system is just. The state makes so few mistakes that the common man and woman can rest in the knowledge that thousands and thousands of laws create cozy neighborhoods thriving next to quaint shopping villages with all the pretty trees and quiet restaurants. The black smooth roads with sharp yellow stripes under the blue sky with its puffy yummy clouds exist because the state keeps the roads and villages and restaurants and brick houses running delightfully secure with armies of police and scowling judges.

Society requires laws to keep things peaceful and safe. If you choose to disobey a law society must punish your deviation, dear. Social discipline can only coexist with punishment. No one will injure you if are obedient and nice to others and avoid altered states unless, of course, the altered state has been legalized by the wonderful authorities.

Bear in mind civilians sent to prison learn better manners and enjoy meditating toward wellness in a thoughtful environment provided by the state.

Keep it peaceful and prostrate, citizen. Peace out.

[mikey]

We can all go home now. AC has said it all.
"...delightfully secure with armies of police and scowling judges."

[OneOut]

OT Yeah Texas !!11!!1!!

""I never thought that a young, African-American man from the projects could file a grievance against a powerful, white DA in Texas and win," he said."

Follow the link and there's a link to another Texas DA who went to jail for similar actions.

[Officer Jim Lahey]

Took me to a story about Troy Aikman visiting an old woman. Have you been buying from Ricky, or has my browser?

[DoubleC]

"Aikman had once knocked on Morgan's door by mistake in the nineties, and she never let an opportunity to recall the story pass."

Wow, did he have CTE that early?

[DoubleC]

The Crack Dealer Snake one from 1989 gave me panic attacks as a 5 year old. So did the one where the crackhead roughs up his little brother in the middle of the night wanting his allowance to buy more crack. And they'd air these on network TV right before my bedtime. I'd hear the "Hey, little dude!" opening line and be one scared child for the next 30 seconds. But now it's just goofy.

And I've heard the Snake was played by Malcolm Jamal Warner of Cosby Show fame before. Is that true or was that a "all black people look alike" moment from somebody?

[Stephdumas]

No mention of that one with someone diving into an empty pool?

Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it out.
This is wha- I do...... ?????? http://www.Wage-Report.com

Speak for yourself. Sonny Bono's hair scared the shit out of me.
