I remember about 10 years ago I lived in an apartment with a deck overlooking the sidewalk, and every day around 3:00 a very old man would take his fluffy white cat for a drag.

Upvote for my favorite Violent Femmes song, or a facsimile thereof.

You're stating a number of things as facts which are not necessarily so, budzos.

"You realize manslaughter is by definition involuntary?"

No, there are two varieties of manslaughter, voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary manslaughter is done with intent, but perhaps provoked, a classic example being when you walk in on your spouse in the act with another and flip out.

"Killing someone who is assaulting you is not murder."

Depends on the state, what manner of assault and the manner in which you kill them. Self-defense is typically only a defense to unlawful homicide charges if you retreat to the wall, (provided you're not in your home) but NOT if you run quickly to the other room for a bludgeon and then come charging back, and particularly if you keep swinging once they're down. If she were to die that could very well turn into a 2nd degree murder charge.

Ugh. *I'm* from Perry, Iowa, at least originally. And it's ass-backwards shit like this that makes me glad I don't live there any more.

Just so people aren't confused, Fiscal policy ≠ Monetary policy.

Fiscal policy = Congress = taxation, spending, and regulation.
Monetary policy = Federal Reserve = interest rates and credit availability.

I didn't realize until seeing this sift title that suicide was a verb, as well as a noun. The more you know!

I need an animated .gif of this, badly.

Totally. I would have thought that Buffalo Bill was too busy making fat-girl skin-suits to get a Chemistry degree.

Give it time. >> ^Aniatario:

Ever since I finished watching the series I haven't been able to put the books down, there's honestly never a dull moment.

I'm from Iowa, and it's particularly painful for me to see this kind of thing associated with my state. These folks are very likely from the northwest corner of the state, represented by Steve King, who has made some headlines of his own for loudmouthed ignorance.

I much prefer it when we're represented by folks like Zach Wahls, found elsewhere on the 'sift.

And if you were, why are you trying to go anywhere in the first place?>> ^residue:

I'm not that flexible
>> ^Yogi:
What if you have to blowjob-start it yourself?

Anyway to confirm whether or not that guy lived? People who are kicked in the noggin by a horse kind of have an unfortunate tendency to die from it.

The tag totally ruined the surprise, so I totally *did* see that coming.

That's not rape. That's "surprise sex.">> ^Shepppard:

I'm still waiting for the MMO where you rape people.

play WoW and roll a rogue.

alien_concept had a different description when this video was first posted, saying that he didn't want to spoil what song they were about to play. He changed it after I made my comment, so my comment now looks out of place. >> ^Krupo:

>> ^40_Minus_1:
Erm, the video "spoils" what song they're playing by announcing it over the first 10 seconds.

I'm confused by this observation. What do you mean?
Or was that an older copy of the embed? I'll assume it's that?
Also, quality MUSE!
Finally - I recall that reflecting light - they had it at the Toronto show too. From a distance it was like they put a lighthouse on stage.
