Feel better, friend.

Aragorn is old enough to be my grandfather. He should be allowed to swear for any reason.

Me, too. It's like a perfect snapshot of the post-9/11 country music scene I was forced to endure growing up.

But in addition to that, it always felt incongruous with Archer's character. He's 41 at the start of Enterprise. This is a song about how he's been struggling for so long and no one is going to hold him back because of his faith, but the whole story is how they held his father back his whole life, and they've successfully held Archer back until he's middle-aged.

As a 38-year-old, lemme tell ya. If faith didn't get you through the door at 20, it ain't faith getting you out the door at 41. It should've been a song about dogged determination in the face of adversity.

Yeah but he was a male forced to dress as a girl by his Mom (and on one occasion, the classmates). I don't think he would want to be included as a femboy.

This is why my couch has two of those wireless charging spots on a fold-out middle console. It already has power because it's got two recliners built in, adding charging spots isn't very difficult.

Makes me think they know how much we love the original.

The zipper in th3 back also helps if you have a big chest and don't want it bifurcated by a zipper.

And you can't put that same zipper (if it goes all the way up the back) on the side... if you have wide hips.

So at least that still has reason to exist.

Source: my own body and never wearing a front-faced zipper after seeing why we don't do that.

I do this with every post in Ye Power Tripping Bastards. I just can't stop myself.

I've actually said, "interesting if true," to stories I've gotten second-hand, and it works great because the person repeating the story will then hypothesize on the trustworthiness of the original storyteller.

My favorite reaction was, "Well, I heard it from (name), who we both know is a liar, but it was too funny not to share."

I'm using this fact the next time someone wants to tell me they want "what the founding fathers intended" so I can tell them to shut the fuck up.

I once said to an employee, "Have a peaceful rest of your shift!" And he said, "You, too," and I didn't turn away fast enough and I watched his soul leave his body.
