- Make a bunch of these
- Get the Flex Tape guy to advertise them on TV
- Profit
Edit: okay, I gotta be honest here. Really, I just want to see the Flex Tape guy shoot a commercial with cats. It would be funny. I stand by my advice, however.

“Welcome to the party, pal.” - John McClane, Die Hard (1988)
I feel like I’m missing a reference (should I know who Khajiit is?) but I like it anyway!
This hasn’t crossed my mind in decades. Not even in a “remember when” sense.
One of the reasons I DO think babies are cute is that I can walk away when they start making noise, smelling bad, or being generally unpleasant. They’re cute because they’re not my problem!
This is incredibly sad. Dammit.
It’s refreshing to see older lifelong republicans who didn’t believe the media and voted for Trump out of inertia, but are ditching him now that he’s repeatedly proven himself to be a scumbag. Better late than never!
I’m actually more scared of the sodium content on those things.
Upvote for this. I started throwing the “flavor packet” away, and adding my own spices and seasoning, to avoid the ridiculous amount of sodium.
It highlighted remarks from the other leaving judges who said they still believed in the independence of the courts.
Okay, but where were they when they made those “everything is fine” statements? If they (or their loved ones) were still in HK’s/China’s jurisdiction, those quotes don’t mean much.
TLDR: A dick makes a dick move.
He’s going to get more bad press from this than that interview was worth. Good.
He didn’t die, but I appreciate your empathy nonetheless.
Juvenile chuckle at referring to Disco as “STD”
Absolutely not. SNW stands on its own quite well. Sure, watching Disco will fill in some details for you, but SNW covers the key points by itself. You will not be left scratching your head if you watch SNW without watching Disco.
“Significant enough” are the key words here.
He argued people should read the book before criticizing it, and declined to share a photo of the disguise he used during the writing process.
Real researchers are very explicit and forthright about their methodology…
“If people are looking for a minstrel show, they should look somewhere else.”
…and don’t insult people who ask legitimate questions about their work.
“Nobody has an experiential barometer with respect to race, for that matter,” he writes. “Nobody except for me… My barometer is better than anyone else’s.”
Exceptionally arrogant and (unsurprisingly) quite wrong.

He describes his own writing in Seven Shoulders as a “tremendous literary achievement” and a “tremendous achievement in the realm of civic progress.”
More arrogance, in case you missed any of the other examples.
I don’t know what this guy’s deal is, but he’s doing everything possible to avoid being taken seriously. I happen to think that another book done as professionally and seriously as Black Like Me may be insightful and useful. Based on what I’ve seen so far, though, I don’t think that this self-aggrandizing stunt comes anywhere close to that standard.
Here’s how John Howard Griffin did it when writing Black Like Me:
In late 1959, John Howard Griffin went to a friend’s house in New Orleans, Louisiana. Once there, under the care of a dermatologist, Griffin underwent a regimen of large oral doses of the anti-vitiligo drug methoxsalen, and spent up to 15 hours daily under an ultraviolet lamp for about a week. He was given regular blood tests to ensure that he was not suffering liver damage. The darkening of his skin was not perfect, so he touched it up with stain. He shaved his head bald to hide his straight brown hair.
Fine, Putin. Escalate some more. See what happens. I don’t think you’ll like it, but why take the word of an American? Try it for yourself. Find out.
A link to the actual article, instead of CNNs homepage, would be appreciated
I hope the director insists on bloody knuckles from punching trees.
So, basically, Netanyahu will only accept a deal that results in Palestine’s total destruction. That’s worse than useless.
