Best Buy is my favorite place to buy histrionics. Tweeter Etc. is for girls.
Obsolescence happens so fast in histrionics, I rent mine at the Rent-to-Own place across from the Payday Check Casher and the Doughnut Shop.
They have a Democratic governor named Nixon? Is this some sort of bizzaro state, or what?
Timbertoes?
Batman?
Weren’t they people made of wood who went around with saws and cut things up? For some reason I find that creepier than a cartoon pig making pork barbecue.
Verbal Kint. Who might actually also be Batman.
He has left a mark in talk radio and helped give AM radio new life. I don’t feel it is a good one, but many people disagree with me.
To get a bit sidetracked, for me he ruined talk radio. Before he burst onto the scene I used to listen to local talk shows broadcast from Dallas. They had a good mix of from right wing to moderate to liberal. Also the hosts would actually interview other people, musicians, authors etc. and discuss local along with national and international issues. After Rush you pretty much only get far right wing blowhards who only talk and occasionally answer phones. I really miss the old shows and stopped listening years ago when podcasts and mp3 players came about.
They have their own earthquakes, too. But theirs are in the middle of a tectonic plate, not along the edges, so they must be Bizarro earthquakes.
Being a fan of Batman, especially the Dark Knight animation, there was a Noiresque series where the character always referred to Batman as detective.
I bet the inspiration came from The Usual Suspects
Well, this bit was kind of stealthy:
Also interesting that apparently the Speaker gets to select HOF members, but a separate organization (controlled by the Dem governor) apparently controls statues in the rotunda - so perhaps an ongoing spat.
Of course, we Missourian’s have much more important things to worry about, but that won’t stop anyone in Jeff City.
Benedict Arnold is one of the most famous people from Connecticut but I doubt he’ll ever be added to the state HOF. So to a certain extent, popularity is an issue.
We should convince Michael Moore to live in Missouri for a while so we can induct him… I wonder how the Republicans would feel about that?
True, but he’s a special case… after all, he did try to upend the revolution, and he didn’t live in the US after the Revolution was over. He ended up living in England, so I am guessing he lost is claim to the Conn. HOF.
Folks from Missouri, don’t sweat it. I doubt he will drag in the masses (or his ditto-heads) Besides, you can skip this HOF and go to the Bowling HOF instead (isn’t this in St. Louis?)
Now THAT"S a good time had by all. Earl Anthony, anyone?
Well, he was no Dick Weber. But then, who is? That’s just how he rolled.
Oh spare me…
Famous people from Missouri. Plenty to choose from. Including criminals. Does James Earl Ray get a HOF bust?
The REAL debate here is whether to pronounce it Mizuree or Mizzurah.
Oh, it has to be Mizuree, or “Shenandoah” just wouldn’t sound right.
It’s getting bizarre. Anyone not scared about the ongoing ascendance of the Conservative Movement should look at what’s actually happening in state legislatures like Missouri’s. These are the farm teams for Congress, and they are full of dangerously corrupt, dangerously silly amateur dabblers in politics who happily bow down to Rusty Limbaugh and his type.
Jay Nixon is probably the most trusted figure in Missouri politics, though.
