They thought they were moving to racistland and when it didn't quite meet expectations, they got to work building their dream.

I am convinced that NC was pushed back from being the kinda-progressive southern state by transplants from NY, PA and OH.
The guy who brought the anti-bussing case that resegregated Raleigh schools? He moved down from Buffalo.

Hell's bells. I'm so very sorry.

The Soviets didn't kill Poles for being Poles?
Reckon that's news to the q00,000+ folks killed in the NKVD's Polish Operation.

The Air Force JAG Corps has a lot to answer for.

Shredded ham hock? What a fantastic innovation that needs to cross over to the US, like, yesterday.

If you want to look at it slant-wise, he's the same character in Red October and Sneakers.

Seriously, Musk is not nearly cool enough to frequent the Hammock District.

Could someone please sit these people down to them an explain that Carman's "Respect my author-ih-tay" was meant to be mocked, not modeled?

Dang.

Yeah, it was a real "Shocked to find gambling in this establishment!" kinda thing for me.

Beautifully said.
Great storytelling is an act of love Mt. Reiner put so much love into the world.

The screenwriter did a fantastic job of capturing a certain kind of exuberant nerd tribal joy with that plucky team of academic meteorologists and I love them for it.

The ep meant to mirror some of the Guadalcanal experience was so frickin' excellent. I still think about that scene with the radio call.

Western Carolina has some great profs, but in the late 80's it's not the first place you'd go in NC to get that degree. And he didn't particularly shine while he was there.
He wasn't good enough for anything but CBP but in CBP he was very good compared to everyone else.

Chuckling grimly in went from Public Health to Intl. Humanitarian Law.

I hate how people like the chud who made the original post romanticize life in rural America while at the same time do everyhting they can to make that life harder while blaming it on everyone else.
And I wish more people were angry about that.

That house might well be $95,000 but it'll need a ton of work and heating (and oh will you need to heat it) will be like throwing $100 bills out the window. And you'd better check it out during the summer so you know how close the nearest hog confinement is.
