This all assumes Chris Rock knew she had alopecia. I don't think it would be hard to spontaneously come up with an association and make that joke.

Talking about nukes, Russian soldiers are driving through the 'Red Forest' around Chernobyl kicking up the dust and raising radiation levels; I suppose there will be a rise in cancer cases in the coming years.

You do like wasting server space.

They are just buying time with the talks.

Short version: Clarence Thomas is a rotten apple and Republican stooge. Longer version: Over the last dozen years I've been on here and taken an interest in SC and US politics, he is clearly the outlier to what constitutes a good SC judge. His wife's antics being out in the open kind of explains his past voting record. I can't quite compute that he's black and yet holds this ideological position. Did he see a novel and fast track way to get where he is today in a Republican-leaning field not well-represented by minorities i.e. it's not about principles, but about personal advancement? As far as his wife goes, it's not difficult to mistake her words for that of Marjorie Taylor Green.

I've had over half a century of deaf jokes at my expense. I'm pretty bullet proof. Some are funny. I would have thought the Natalie Wood joke funny as youngster, but not anymore.

Yeah, CR's got nowt on RG. WS has apologised to CR.

My pleasure. I don't know much but I know how to find things.

Jokes are nearly always at the expense of somebody, he should be well aware, being a comedian himself. Whether it's actually funny is subjective.

Maybe something will stick from this.

Gotcha, cheers. Yes, that is very dodgy for normal forum linking. Never used one like that. I use a url shortener but it doesn't do that. It removes the extraneous additions to the site url that cause redirects through adservers so they can't track a user. Actually, it's called a 'url tracking stripper' that I use... it's effect is to shorten it but that's not the addon's actual aim. I used the wrong description, it turns out.

@PeterkinIt shortens the url to only contain the basic address. As far as justifying them goes, they limit tracking information that ad servers can use when one is site hopping.

Have you made an alpaca jumper yet? Have you seen the price of alpaca jumpers! £150-200 here. Wow.

Seeing your post, I had a look online and they appear to have a nice nature. The article, by an alpaca farmer, said you should never have less than three because having a group hierachy is important to their well-being. Is that why you have three?

Arr! What's the pecking order?

That price for a physical book is to be expected when it's not massively popular.

Yes.

S2 is seconds per second.

oops!

Throw enough shit and some of it will stick. Aye.

This seems to be a quite unique American phenomenon: make a number up and go for it.

Typical of any government to spin a failure into a success. Let them have it, as long as no more people get hurt, and that includes the unfortunate Russian conscripts and officers who didn't have a clue what was coming.

Yeah, that is weird.

Well... It is clear that it's not working. He has never recused himself in 30 years.
