  • If you made a movie where I was personally the target audience, it would probably look something like this.

    Then we have very similar tastes

    At my old polling place, a local restaurant would traditionally cater barbecue outside on voting days.

    That said, there's legal precedent in the US saying that the federal government doesn't have the power to dictate how voting actually operates, so it's ultimately up to state and local legislation to get us our democracy sausages.

    Actually, nevermind: I was just reading Article One to assure myself of that and Congress does actually have the power to pass laws on the way States hold federal elections; it's just the only time they've ever done that was to mandate that all states hold federal elections on the same day.

    So, write to your local Congressional Representative and get us some democracy sausages.

    Also, Congress actually has the power to draw electoral districts if they wanted to, and produce legal guidelines for how they're drawn. Hmmmm...

  • I'm not usually the one to do something and claim, "There ain't nothing in the rules..." but in this case I'd think if I went and set up and easy up and just started grilling sausages I don't think anyone could say much. It's not vote buying, just encouragement to vote.

    Isn't the VRA a mandate on how to hold federal elections?
  • Oh my lord...what is this beautiful, insane, sorcery!

    You could just do it so that you're either taking money for charity, or only give sausages in exchange for the "I VOTED" stickers, if said polling place gives them, something like that.

    Well, that's definitely the last thing I expect bored welshmen to do with sheep.

    I like how each farm dog knows his/her owner's various whistles.
  • Ro's Busy, so I'm filling in.

  • Binging on Critical Miss. I know I'm late to this, but...

  • So, as it turns out, I'm leading a secret life I don't know about making fan art on DeviantArt. That's the most logical explanation for this piece to exist.

  • Sweet Jebus, a Pixel Simpsons opener.


    Pretty cool.
  • My Mum has discovered Japanese branded clothes so I received Uniglo underwear and socks from their latest trip.

    Pretty cool.

    The artist who did that is Paul Robertson, who made the AMAZING Kings of Power 4 Billion % in 2008. It is deeply within my wheelhouse.

  • I was trying to find the "My Other Car is Utena" bumper sticker when I stumbled upon this...

  • To Kill a Mockingbird sequel, 2 Kill 2 Mockingbird: Electric Boo Radley, will be published.
  • Five Guys has started selling MILKSHAKES.

    Is there a reason to go anyplace else for a burger?
    Will these shakes bring all the boys to the yard?
    Stay tune to find out...
  • RadioShack is finally selling its remaining stores. Half of it is selling to Sprint, which will just be converted.

    ...However, the other half is selling to Amazon. Now I'm curious to see how this will turn out.

    Lawyers found a goldmine, eeked out a yes from an old woman, get profit.

    If she was right of mind and getting appropriate advice she would have released an initial copy digitally and then a delayed paperback to get the most personal income.
  • I don't know if anyone has been watching The Nightly Show, I like the way Larry Wilmore puts his voice on the news comedy genre.
    The obesity show he did recently after the Super Bowl was also excellent, especially the clam chowder bit.


    Also Riot Games have been releasing a lot of music, probably because they are making more money than they know what to do with, regardless the music is pretty awesome. I really like the Crystal Method and Dada Life one.

    The recent album uses orchestral musicians who are more commonly seen on movie soundtracks.
