From what I gather I’m pretty sure Stickman was originally trying to do a Singing in the Rain routine, using the stick as a sort of twirly umbrella/prop thingie, when Car Dude decided to give him a little love-nudge with his bumper in hopes of seeing something more Fosse-like.
Stanley Donen can suck it.
Yeah, even worse are the Russian Nazis. It’s like chickens for Colonel Sanders, for fuck’s sake.
Must be fetal alcohol syndrome. Used to live in Moscow, and the drunkenness was…Well, if you’re going to do something, do it, right, I guess? Even then there were guys drinking vodka for breakfast, and the life expectancy was at about 60 for Russian men.
Polish Nazis, though. I hate that I feel grateful my folks are gone. It’d kill Dad, those “fine people” being defended by the President.
It appears that the central engines of the Russian economy are vodka and apathy.
It is not apathy. It is a third thing. To understand it, you must go to Wisconsin in April, where the trees are brown, the sky is an afterthought and the snow lies around in a limp and dirty taunt. So you go into a supper club, but the dining room does not open for another 45 minutes, so go to the bar and have a beer, sitting next to that one guy who just ordered more for himself and for his 14y/o daughter.
Then you understand this feeling, the sense of resignation that staves off the suffocating despair of this monochromatic kafkaesque reality, and in this moment of evading the crushing sole of the universe, it becomes obvious that prohibition was a most vile crime against humanity.
It takes him fifteen times to find the handle.
Holy shit, this REMF thinks he gets to hold forth on “assets” and this “type of thing”? What a slap in the face to Chris Stevens and the people of Libya. The “looters” cited in that batshit Forbes article----since when does Forbes let a climate change denialist nutjob write editorials?----were looking for Stevens specifically to save him. He loved the Middle East, spoke fluent Arabic, and he was very popular among the local population. The doctors tried for two hours to save him.
Fox News ran a clip of Libyans carrying Stevens’ body to a truck as if they were desecrating his body. There were no ambulances. This is the kind of shit that feeds these paranoid motherfuckers’ fantasies of guys with sticks being more dangerous than guys driving trucks. For fuck’s sake.
Yes. The fuckers are everywhere.
As long as some guy kicks the shit out of them EVERY time they start their shit - and yes THEY always start the shit - I’m good with it.
That was beautiful, my man/woman. And true to life, too - it’s not so much apathy as a kind of permanent merrily-blow-your-brains-out despair kept at shaking arm’s length by 120° proof wood alcohol.
Finns get that too. Do not talk to a Finn after they’ve had one of their trademark blacker-than-a-cat’s-soul coffee, under any circumstance - talking to a sober Finn is an existential threat to the psyche of everyone around.
A common misconception is that Russians drink because they are callous alcoholics. Not true. They drink because their souls are thirsty.
“Dim Lights, Small City.” Move the fuck over, Jay McInnerny.
Uh, no. A vehicle is a deadly weapon, period, because of its size and speed.
You REALLY want to run people over, don’t you?
that statement makes no sense. A vehicle is a mode of transportation. It’s not designed as a weapon.
Any object can be weaponized but that doesn’t make it a weapon. A sharpened pencil makes a great weapon if used as one. So does a stick.
if you meant to say the mass and speed of a vehicle CAN be used effectively as a weapon then that is an accurate statement. But millions of people drive every day and use their cars they are intended to be used. As transportation.
No. What a nonsense and hateful thing to say.
Hatred is the driving force behind many confrontations and nothing good comes fro it.
YOU’RE the one arguing that the guy in the vehicle was the victim.
From the view that masked stick man is blocking him and continues to do so even after the verbal confrontation, absolutely. What does that have to do with your statement that vehicles are weapons.
But when you look at the big picture, it wasn’t really much of a thing.
The instant the driver touched his weapon (actually, the instant he aimed his vehicle purposely at) a pedestrian is the instant the vehicle became a weapon. Your pretense otherwise is no different than saying that if I were to hold an unloaded weapon to your head to get you to do something I am not using a deadly weapon. Your pretense otherwise is, at best, disingenuous at best.
margin has you pegged, dead on.
You REALLY don’t want to admit that the very definition YOU use of “weapon” applies 100% to the vehicle as well, do you?
Seriously, dude, are you lying? Or are you stupid? If I hit somebody over the head with a frying pan I don’t get to call it cooking. You keep describing this dickhead driver as the victim as he pushes a 200-lb., man down with a 4,500-lb vehicle.
Scary thing is, this really provides a vivid example of how conservatives view the world.
The lies told on behalf of this guy are very similar to the way the guy in the video tries to slither out of accountability.
I mucked up the post a little bit, but people with normal reading comprehension would have no problem with parsing it the way I intended. On the other hand, there’s Magiver, so here’s a corrected version.
A new hero for the right!
