The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I might suggest that those who've grown up with the Star Wars movies might want to find other stories for their children to adopt as their own, but that is of course madness. We must shove the crap we fell in love with as kids down their gullets.

Oh, right! You also have to teach them to hate the New York Yankees.

It's the small things that keep our families together, you know?

Why else would you become a parent other than indoctrinating them into the media and sports teams that you love?


Oh, right! You also have to teach them to hate the New York Yankees.

If your children have souls, hating the Yankees will come naturally to them.

I see those unfortunate oversized 1980s glasses without even hitting play. Gawds, I mostly hated the 1980s.

Another Patron margarita? Sure thing, sweetheart.

I know Patron is expensive, but how good is it really?

There are a lot of good tequilas around, especially nowadays, and many more that no one would ever complain about drinking.

Is the Patron mark-up worth it?

I have a bottle of Kah anejo in my liquor cabinet, but have always been skeptical about dropping the cash for Patron.

We have reached the "oh my god, I have how many responses to my posts" stage of this crisis.

I just got back from the annual boot hockey weekend with my brothers and cousins. A weekend of drinking, hockey, and singing. Anyways, my cousin downs Bulldogs with reckless abandon. Though, watching him make them is pretty gross.

Diet Coke
Whole Milk

It's just a melted Coke float which is, IMO, one of the best stages of the Coke float.

That sounds like a reason not to post in those threads. If only there were some other option ...

Power Rangers, Ninjago, Wings of Fire, How to Train your Dragon, Percy Jackson, and all the Lego Star Wars videos were, for example, all ones he either found himself or we put out there to see if he liked them but didn't grow up with.

As far as introducing our things, he liked Hogan's Heroes and Black Sheep Squadron, but not so much Rat Patrol or Emergency. He's seemed to have liked Earthsea, Tolkien, Narnia, and the Avenges comics. Not so much Harry Potter. etc... with other TV shows, movies, and games.

It feels like parents can introduce lots of things to their children without forcing it on them or expecting them to love it?

What in the world could possibly be behind this trend?

Perhaps a map identifying the places the UK did NOT invade?

I've always figured the Brits were looking for places with better weather and better food. Given what they're starting with, that puts most of the globe in the "worth checking out" pile.
