The way I heard this joke as a kid was,

“How do you fit an elephant in a Safeway* bag?”

“I dunno, how?”

“You take the ‘S’ out of Safe, and the ‘f’ out of way!”

Then you would hope they actually arrived at the punchline, but you’d often have to prompt them a bit.

*Safeway is a regional American supermarket chain

Sad little king of a sad little hill.

Looks like it’s Majid with one “j”. Found this page; which seems to show the character OP mentioned, Lieutenant Maryam. Can’t find when she was first featured—wikipedia just says she was added later.

That’s a great movie! I haven’t really started showing my daughter (9) scary movies yet. I was terrified of spiders for like a decade after seeing Arachnophobia as a kid, and those Scary Stories books gave me nightmares for years, so I’m reluctant to expose her to media that might trigger something like that for her. Tough to know when it’s the right time—or at least, that’s been my experience.

I haven’t downvoted you, but I usually downvote any comments complaining about downvotes, or pretending that their point is proven by downvotes. It’s always fallacious masturbatory bullshit.

I dunno. I upvoted it, because it’s a really spot-on parody of the kind of comments a lot of people were making last fall. At the time, though, I was more or less in that camp. Not because I actually wanted Biden, but because it seemed like we were stuck with him as the nominee, and Trump was the only alternative.

Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth!

But that can’t be right! I have it on good authority that A&W stands for Amburgers and Woot beer!

I’d totally forgotten about this show, but I remember watching it, as well. Curious to see how it holds up.

Not a lot, I imagine! Still a pretty low hurdle to clear. All you really need is ammunition and a place to shoot it. It sure helps to have a spotter/RSO/somebody who knows what they’re doing, but you can muddle through all right given enough trigger time.

True enough, but it’s not very hard to learn.

Pretty good pizza at Woodstock’s, tho.

I bet the salad was good, though. Silver linings, and all that.

Kinda surprised that I haven’t seen any Conclave memes, what with the pope dying, and it being a recent, very relevant, movie. Watched it the other night, and it was great! I guess I should be the change I want to see.

It’s been working fine with my GTX 1060. I’ll probably get around to trying different distros at some point, but I’m pretty happy with mint. Most of the issues I’ve had with it have been due to its emphasis on stability; that is, it’s slower to incorporate changes than more cutting-edge distros. At least, that’s been my impression—I’m no Linuxologist.

Throughout the primary, the media counted all the superdelegates as Clinton votes, regardless of their theoretical obligation to vote for whomever won their state’s primary. Voters were relentlessly bombarded with the notion that it was impossible for Sanders to obtain the nomination. Yeah, she got more votes, but like, shit wasn’t fair, man.
