ONLY if the role was played by Flip Wilson.

Don't go out tonight It's bound to take your life There's a bathroom on the right

This is like Karaoke for the hearing impaired.

And the Prince's response will be (don't try to tell me otherwise). We can dance, if you want to. We can leave your friends behind.

As the slowest running kid in the neighborhood, I was "It" for most of my childhood.

If he's Elrick, then I'm Ellarry.

The crew of the USS Pueblo managed to convince the North Koreans that the bird was a Hawaiian good luck symbol. Hence, most photos of the crew taken by the Norks show them flipping off the cameraman.

“Just because you got up early and started working on the map for the Math Rocks, with the feather dragons and the wizards, doesn't mean I'm gonna stay up with you. Leave me alone while I take a nap”. - Explorer the Cat

It apparently went all the way up the ranks. One officer saluted the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces with his left hand. His left hand. I do not believe this is SOP.

Attempting to understand the alternate realities feels like reconciling string theory with the American electoral college.

Can only move things unintentionally while invisible has a very high slapstick potential.

So, what other human culture things to immortals like? Does this even slightly help with boredom, so it could allow stronger, yet not quite so chaotic elder immortals? Are immortals into “sports ball”? And, yes, I know that comments are only semi canon at best, and it's only canon if it's in a comic.

“Getting up on the desk to help The Human! He needs help today, he up really early, making up for being a lazy bum yesterday.” - Explorer the Cat.

The narrow loss in 60 fed his paranoia that would cloud every political decision Nixon made for the rest of his life

“The Human banged his head last night and stayed up to make sure he didn't have any problems for a few hours. He's staying in bed for a while this morning. I'm staying with him. He needs purrs!” - Explorer the Cat.

There are also several instances of "ring species." These happen when there's an obstacle to a species' spread that individuals can't cross, but can go around. Said obstacle being quite large, as compared to the distance individuals travel. So they spread around it in both directions, over multiple generations, with slight genetic drift... and when they finally meet again on the far side of the obstacle, the new neighbors can't interbreed. So variety A can cross with variety B, who can mate with variety C, and so on... but A and P, who are next-door neighbors, can't. (Another puzzle of "where and how do you draw a species line?". Along with the notion that each individual is the same species as their own mother, but if you go some number of generations back then maybe they aren't the same species....) There are some specimens from north-central Asia that carry the DNA of H.Sapiens Sapiens, H.Sapiens Neanderthalensis, H.Sapiens Denisova, and... um... those other H.Sapiens. Not Heidelbergensis. The ones we know absolutely nothing about except these odd traces of DNA in these specific specimens.

The lack of any objective standards means that an outright lunatic who is convinced that he can do no wrong is effectively unlimited.

Against a modern shaped charged warhead, even the small ones that quad copter drones carry, tire belts aren't going to provide any protection and may, in fact, worsen it by having something that can catch fire in contract with the “protected” item. So-called “cope” cages are at least 2 feet (ca. 61 centimeters), normally at least twice that, from the protected thing's skin, and against larger shaped charges they provide squat protection, they mainly work against the ~1 lb (0.45 kg) “warheads” that a quad copter can carry. The “shed” on “turtle tanks” is about 4 to 5 feet from the body of the tank. ATGMs have no problem taking them out, even if they do provide reasonable protection against FPD.

Wait. Which one is saving the old school/shop/park/etc from the greedy landowners/bankers/city people?

I would say that it is not a good one when you are seriously considering whether being above ground is better than not. Any pain where you are left wishing for unconsciousness just to escape from it is bad.

Fairly common, actually. Some “consultants” actually say you should do that, to trigger the FOMO effect. Based on their blurb and what they have said online, this is a work of their main design team.

Only if we are lucky

Oh, no, they can turn it on, and have. I've been told about 2 weeks on the inspection.

And they are gone. The closet is better laid out than when they started, you can get to the tank to work on it without needed to move the washer. Granted, if they have to change the tank again, they will need to move the washer, but that shouldn't happen.

I got a hold of the contractor. Their office manager is out of the office this week, and the man I talked to was more or less clueless about me. He said he would be in the office in 30 minutes or so and would get back to me. Joy unto me and mine.

Best option. But I suspect that Cinder Tedd is going to find Prince Elliot there, where PE is hiding from the herd of "I wanna ba a princesses" types that have been swarming him.

That seems to be a possibility. Then he'd be more like the modern Rich, not really a contributor, but not really taken seriously.

This is reminding me of Alan Sherman's "Here's to the Crabgrass".

They did mention, at one time, something about her lease. She may still be packing. A wizard, a seer, a young immortal, and two shape-shifters. The sitcom all but writes itself. It's a two-story house with at least 3 bedrooms (Edward's, Tedd's, Grace's) I hope it's at has at least a bath and half.

That can't be right. <wiki read> Damn. OK then.

Quite aware of both issues.

I am sure that won't matter much. I mean, who needs to be able to see what you and the enemy are doing? Anyway if it is that bad, I am sure they can find a PE-8 in storage somewhere to use as a substitute until they can build a new one. To be fair, the Russians don't really have much in the way of credibility left anyway. I am sure that is not causing any morale issues.

Seems like Putin just had a bad day. An Ukrainian surprise drone attack just smashed a lot of Russian strategic bombing planes, reducing their strategic bombing capacity by 25% or possibly as much as 33%. It seems they have also destroyed the Russian equivalent of an AWACS. An AWACS is cheap, fast and easy to replace, right?
