The eminent linguistic philosopher J. L. Austin of Oxford once gave a lecture in which he asserted that there are many languages in which a double negative makes a positive, but none in which a double positive makes a negative — to which the Columbia philosopher Sidney Morgenbesser, sitting in the audience, sarcastically replied, “Yeah, yeah.â€Â
I do this all the goddamn time when I'm hosting a party. It works oddly well, and no cleanup.
I'm a fan of the tub cooler. Works for hotel parties.
It works well for indoors parties, but not so much for backyard parties, except as secondary storage. However, I have managed to get around this - I went and bought a big old tub from a demolition yard for about ten bucks, hauled it back home in the back of my van, and then cut out the plughole, welded in a plug with a controlable spigot, and welded on some attach points for longer legs, and we were good to go - Not only did I have a bathtub I could fill with ice and use, It also didn't leak, was higher up off the ground but not high enough to make things annoying, and since I put a spigot I could hook the other end of a hose on, after the party, I'd use the water for my plants. I also built a little bolt on frame around it, that put a little wooden-top table around the sides, with bottle openers, cabled down lighters, small lights that pointed into the ice tub, and a pair of racks to hold plastic dixie cups.
I love how the lady running the camera was also shouting racist comments at the white guy, then said they could press charges. Sure, you could press charges, but you'd loose since the black dude hit him first and you were instigating.
As for the knife, I meant it as a hypothetical. If either one of them had a knife, there could have been a whole lot more blood. That is, of course, if one of them managed to pull the knife before before getting twatted to the floor.
My mom told me that one of my brother's friends (who I am moderately acquainted with) was suspended from school. He isn't a troublemaking kid or anything and is pretty well-respected, so I couldn't think of a reason for him to be suspended. Then I found out why: Monday was the yearbook photos for all of the school clubs, and he decided to see if he could get in all of them. He even brought stuff for some of the pictures, like a suit for business club and a trombone for the band photo. He got into 18 photos before he was found out and suspended. But even then, he got off easy- because he's in the school play, he had to be at school for practice. So what happened was he was suspended for the rest of the day on Monday, and then for the first half of the day yesterday... which pretty much meant he got to sleep in late. And the best part is that they're not going to retake any of the photos.

I don't think they realized he was doing a Glenn Beck Impression.
This is the best commercial I've seen today.
A dramatization of one of the Johnny Turbo comics. I love Johnny Turbo.
Should have known it would just show up here.
Apparently dox are already up in YouTube comments on the girl who took the video. Shame.
Also, the aftermath. I see no amberlamps:
