    Let’s Write A Christmas Carol

    Philly from Geek Club was an jolly creepy troll With a burlap sack and a nylon rope And a stocking full of coal Philly from Geek Club is a fairy tale, they say The press said "no" but the hookers know He almost took their lives that day There must have been some Quaaludes in That ginger rum they downed For when they got their senses back He had them gagged and bound Oh, Philly from Geek Club Was as sick as he could be And the hookers say how he liked rough play Just the same as you and me Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Philly go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the bags of blow Ooh Philly from Geek Club Knew the cops were hot that day So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun Now before I'm put away." Down to the graveyard With a shovel in his hand Well, one found a way to make her escape Saying "catch me if you can!" She led him down the streets of town Right to a traffic cop And he only paused a moment when He heard them holler "Stop!" Oh, Philly from Geek Club Had to run to get away So he waved goodbye "Get your friends untied, I'll be back again someday" Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Philly go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

  7. Interesting, but feels fake. You'd think every nugget off of Hunter's laptop would be dug up long ago. We'll see if this story has legs. If so, wish it would have come out after the Democratic National Convention.

    What is Toxic Masculinity?

    A phrase liberals invented to criticize anyone with more testosterone than Dylan Mulvaney.

    Rams putting a beatdown on New Orleans. If they play like this vs SF they could win that game.

    It's not terrible. You're looking at two .500 teams in a battle for a musical chairs playoff spot.

    It's a rough neighborhood in desperate need of gentrifying.
  17. If a system can produce more energy than it takes in, at large enough scale, it can produce more and more and more energy... whatever we need. Also, you can measure it directly. If you put X energy in to make the reaction happen and got X+Y out after the reaction, well, you can put that X back in to make more energy and use the Y to power the world. All the energy you need theoretically but at that point, see if/how greed and government come along to fock everything up.
  18. I seriously doubt he knows anything more than the layman basics of nuclear fusion, but we can all read the progress the scientists working on it report as well as the claims they are making.

    States keeping candidates off ballots

    Congrats to Tim and Squistion for showing that even Trump haters have enough sense to criticize Colorado on this.

    States keeping candidates off ballots

    There exist videos that suspiciously look like this may have happened. Democrats claim that they didn't rig the election, but they did have the time and means to do so.
  21. The chance that this comes to pass is disturbingly high given how anything is done in this country.
  22. I don't think our government is anxious drop the ball on something this big. There's going to be corruption to be had though. We'll see.

    Biden should deal with the border issue, but he’ll win anyhow.

    They lie about him so regularly, relentlessly, and constantly that they have no credibility. The biggest lie of all being the "very fine people on both sides" line about Charlottesville when they took a snipped of what he said out of context so that it would mean the 180 degrees opposite of what he actually said. It was amazing how shameless that lie was. That was the breaking point for me, the moment when I gave up the ghost that the media had any ethics or professionalism left. You'd do well to watch the Charlottesville speech in full context. I broke it down somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up.
