  1. My scar from my appendectomy is much larger than usual. Apparently the surgeon had a hell of a time finding what was left of my rotting appendix and had to enlarge my incision twice. So instead of a barely visible slit I've a long Frankenstein gash on my abdomen. When Gang asks I like to make up stories about burning marauding orphan bikers.
  2. Are presidential pardons an all or nothing deal, or could Biden have held Hunter to the terms of the plea agreement that was overturned? I feel like that would have been a more broadly palatable resolution.
  3. Brave holdouts if you ask me. Not like these depraved MVD attending MFs here in New Mexico.
  4. I mean, I'm no ballistics expert, but its possible that someone on site just walked over to the shooters corpse and observed the AR15 clutched in his still warm hands. Would that be a rigorous enough analysis for you, or...?
  5. "The smarter you are the dumber you sound to stupid people." Not sure if this is an actual quote or just a shorthand for Dunning-Kruger I read somewhere.
  6. US. Born and raised within smelling distance of Boston, MA. Lived all around the north east, then 10 years in New Mexico and 15 years in Idaho. Currently back in Boston but leaving again for some (any!) godforsaken flyover state imminently. I can't wait.

    Board Issues 4

    Also having issues quoting and posting on my android devices. Can't do either in Chrome. Apparently I can post with Firefox, but quoting takes me to a Mozilla crash report page. Tried clearing my chrome history to no avail. And this is a brand new Firefox install, which may be why it's sort of working, but I don't have any history or cache to clear. eta: crisis resolved.
  8. You're right, of course. And I remembered that a few seconds after I posted, but was too caught up in the orgasmic parsing of minutiae to pussy edit. Is there any solid canonical proof that CH's eye doesn't glow red?
  9. Well, its true that Sam does not report that CH's eyes do, in fact, glow. Whether they don't, in fact, glow, remains to be seen. :P
  10. RE: glowing blue eyes... All my books are lent out atm, but someone should maybe check back and see if the glowing blue eyes thing really relates to the number of actual remaining eyeballs a creature still has as a wight. Seems to me, in a magical world, the glowing blue phenomena may continue to emanate from wherever a creatures eyes may once have been, as a representation of the Others control over them, whether that creature still has any remnants of actual eyeballs left or not. Certainly we have seen plenty of skeletonified wights so far, with likely nothing but dried out empty eye sockets in their skulls. Did they have two glowing blue eyes still? Did it matter? Were they still wights if they didn't? Without conclusive testaments one way or the other, then whether CH has two glowing blue eyes or one doesn't say anything about his identity. He might well be Bloodraven with one glowing blue remnant of an eyeball, and one glowing blue empty socket, or he could be Benjen with one glowing eyeball and one non-glowing empty eye socket. Either way, we still won't really know who he used to be until George tells us.
