Nice Try, IHOP
Thank you, Lance. You are a brave man.
Man confronts Superintendent about Bullying in Katy ISD publ
Two thoughts:
1) Remembering something shameful or terrible can cause a person discomfort that they don't know how to deal with particularly well. They might go numb and blank. They might cry. Or, they might laugh -- which can seem incredibly inappropriate from an outside perspective.
2) Even if one were to give Lance the benefit of the doubt here with regard to part 1 there, a person in a position of authority (like a Superintendent) needs to follow up and try to make amends, along with showing some empathy and understanding that it is his job to try to prevent that kind of shit from happening NOW.
I guess it is possible that after the meeting, he went out and apologized and said that he regrets what he did when he was a young, stupid kid, and that that motivates him to work hard to prevent that kind of stuff now that he is in a position to do so. Possible, yes. Likely, no.
Aliens : Bishop's Knife Trick - Bill Paxton
One of two. Lance Henriksen is the other one.
As I read on Twitter. Bill Paxton was the only actor to be killed by an Alien, a Terminator, and a Predator.

"The Knife Song" - (I Actually Squirmed A Bit)
Don't you mean Bishop (Lance Henriksen) from Aliens?
Ash (Ian Holm) was from Alien.
Ash was faster.
Whoopi Goldberg Defends 10 Surprising Things
...And one more thing that I think is interesting:
In many cases, even if it is 100% proven that somebody did some very bad things, I don't personally think that should (necessarily) negate our respect for the good things they did.
Michael Jackson may have been a serial pedo, which is pretty damning in general. BUT, *that* doesn't make his music bad, or make people who like his music bad.
Cosby almost certainly did drug and have sex with a whole bunch of women, without their consent. That is a very shitty thing to do. But it doesn't make his impact on comedy any less real. It doesn't make The Cosby Show a shitty TV program, that I/we should feel ashamed of having enjoyed.
OJ Simpson almost certainly got away with murder. I think that makes him a scumbag, but I can accept that many people think/thought of him as "OJ Simpson, running back, actor, announcer, etc." rather than "OJ Simpson, murderer". And even though I personally dislike the notion that he got away with killing people, I can watch video of him playing football and appreciate his undeniable talent, or watch him in The Naked Gun and still chuckle.
Sports figures like Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong are a different story, at least for me personally. Even though doping or using steroids isn't even remotely comparable to the objective badness of pedophilia, rape, or murder ... those two guys were respected specifically for their sports accomplishments, which they "cheated" to obtain. For me personally at least, that completely invalidates those accomplishments, which were pretty much the only reasons to look up to them. In the meantime, I might think that OJ is a terrible human being, but at least I can still respect what he did on the football field.
Maybe that is a weird distinction to make, but it makes sense to me, anyway.
Whoopi Goldberg Defends 10 Surprising Things
Cosby was (still is, even) a personal hero or idol to a whole lot of people. I think we're all tempted to put the blinders on and be *very* reluctant to accept any accusations of wrongdoing against people that we look up to like that.
Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson, Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds ... all got a hefty dose of benefit of the doubt from their fans way past the time that more clearheaded people started thinking "there might be something going on there".
I don't think that makes Whoopi a stupid or shitty person. Just a fallible person that *wants* to believe the best about people that she has respect for.
Right. The point is:
She's still a shitty people for defending terrible, indefensible actions up until there was absolutely no denying it..
Like.. who the hell still "needs to reserve judgement" of a serial date-rapist with 50+ identical accusations against them..
even after it's revealed they've already admitted to drugging women in order to have sex with them?!
Unboxing Hibernating Pet Tortoise
Used to keep tortoises as pets as a kid.
One of them got a larval infection in his neck and needed surgery to lance it. The vet explained anesthesia doesn't work on tortises, so they did the next best thing--they put him in the fridge for a day, induced hibernation, and did the surgery while he was asleep. We were able to take him home the next day.
We thought he'd be freaked out by the whole thing (we never made him hibernate in the winter, just used a lamp to keep him warm), but he didn't seem any worse for the experience. Lived a long and healthy life. Eventually gave him to our neighbors' kids when my brother and I went off to college.

Obama scolds O'Reilly. Good for him.
Crying troll sounds awfully similar the racist wail....check a mirror sometime, and maybe lance that eye mote? Actual racists and trolls are rather choosy about who and what they engage.
I'm sure racist Bob and troll Lantern were equally diligent at scrutinizing everything Bush said too
Hunting for warthogs with monkeys
If only the monkeys had been given little lances.

Ewww, do you guys lance each others ingrown hairs and take care of each other's blackheads, too?? Whoa...Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen an Asian with an ingrown hair....Do Asians get ingrown hairs?
