I can write that obit in two. "Quiet piggy."

I can tell you exactly how the machines in Tarrant county work. You make your selection on one machine. It prints your ballot. You verify the print as you walk it to a second machine. The second machine collects your ballot, scans it, and uploads the vote. Feel free to audit. We have receipts.

I voted in this one. I never thought a pro-union candidate in Tarrant county, on a quiet, low turnout election, would have a snowballs chance. We were just hoping to show a demographic shift. I'd say that goal was achieved.

Ain't no way skeletor's nasally nyahhh's are being emitted out of Xanatos' face up there.

Oh it definitely was a product of its time. The world went through a weird phase where we liked macho split-kicks from wooden, steroid riddled bodybuilders. Just as our current taste demands unsubtle jabs against social injustice. (Looking at you, Twisted Metal, and also everyone else.)

Counterpoint, Raul Julia delivered one of the most memorable villain one-liners in that movie.

It is unknown/unconfirmed whether "puppet," "moppet," or "marionette" had any influence on Henson's muppet. But they all fit.

The history is kind of cool. The word Moppet (1. rag doll, small child; 2. fool, simpleton) had been around since the 1600s. Jim Henson brought forth the word muppet, but somehow moppet decided to merge with the made up word.

If you were still awake to catch Conan's time slot, you were in a state of mind that you didn't need context. It was pure zany, non-sequitur, manic humor at its best. Also, hello, we have never interacted.

The vast majority of red voters still don't see themselves as full of hatred. By their philosophy, the individual should adapt to the ugly nature of the world; the world should not be compelled to accommodate the individual. However and inevitably, this caused them to vote for belligerent hatred.

No artistic work ever should be ripped from the hands of its creator and handed to the network stooge... Except this one. The greatest moments of Ren and Stimpy were when corporate Nickelodeon tugged the reins of this genius yet completely off the rails lunatic.

The state of Minnesota has full authority to pursue capital murder charges. Talk is impotent fluff. Uphold the law.
