OT: 92nd Obsequious Banter Thread: Where Rick Tocchet is a Hall of Famer

[Beef Invictus]

The Chinese government is not just going to let any country walk in to investigate. It is not a democracy over there.

Many democracies wouldn't let their sovereignty be violated like that

Are we cursed

You spoke to a bone tree abomination and accepted its "gift". Of course you're cursed. What the hell were you expecting, Disney World?

well this is true as well. Secrets and truth are hidden from people in this country all in the name of “national security “.

That's how we have been told to pronounce it - "Gerbels." Two reasons why I think this is OK, whether it is correct or not:

1. It sounds like "gurgles," and Goebbels guzzled ***, the prick.

2. It also sounds like "gerbils," which reminds me (and everyone else) of the Richard Gere Mythology. I can't go into it on here, but I'm sure you can Google it, and when you find out what it is about, you can see why Goebbels deserves to be associated with it, the prick.

tl;dr f*** f***ing Joseph Goebbels, the prick.

Well then somebody played an evil trick on all of you for decades because there is no damn "R" in that name

I know, but that vowel sound in German can sound like it is slurred halfway to an "r," so I think that's why it started. More importantly, did you Google "Richard Gere gerbils"?

I've always gotten closer to an "oh+eh" sound, but I get what you mean. It's a slurring sound until you start actually vomiting

And the first and the last time I googled that Richard Gere thing was when Craig Ferguson joked about it constantly

"Google" also sounds like "gurgle" and "gerbil" and "Gerbels."

Ah yes, the fabled Richard Gere gerbil incident that is property of the Montreal Sexpos in the Quackverse Mega Draft. Killer reference.

Here is a link to more info on the study, and how it went against Gov info.
Evidence Points to Animal Market, Not Lab, as Epicenter of Pandemic

This is still a skewed report. If the person from 12/8 didn’t present covid symptoms until the 14th(I think it was), why were they tested?
This entire report, like I have said, relies on the Chinese government providing an accurate report, and not a report either entirely made up, or one laden with inaccuracies either to mislead from one direction to another or to make any research harder to perform.
It’s also entirely sure that the intel they provided is 100% accurate, but with it being the CCP, we’ll never know.

Welp

Are you sure you're rolling the die that goes all the way up to 20 and not the one you fished out of Snakes and Ladders?

My cable and internet plan is set to expire tomorrow. It's currently about $100. If I renew for two years it'll be like $90 for two years. If I get just the internet it'll be like $100 but month to month. Say I move before that two year contract is up, what happens? Do I have to pay the rest of it to get out of it? I don't watch much TV and could get by with just internet. Is that the better option?

 

[PALE PWNR]

Yea it's just the way germans pronounce oe sounds and umlaut sounds to the American ear. It sounds as if you are almost starting to say the r sound and there's no comparison to it in the English language so people who aren't familiar with it just assume it's an r.

Middle School German class finally useful for something, that and saying bitte to a person that was speaking German as I rang them up at Wawa a couple years ago.

You could probably transfer your account to your new address as long as the provider covers the new area. What I was going to do was list all the things I need to watch on TV - including especially live sports - and see what service or alternative "source" covers all those things. Live sports are the real tricky part it seems to me. I think YoutubeTV has those, and I'm sure some of the others do.

The only time I’ll listen to WIP is with Ray and Macnow. They had Jim Gardner on for the share your story hour. It was tremendous. Highly recommend.

Well, I guess you didnt acknowledge the parts of the report where he went against the government. I doubt we either have time to read the whole study, but I will accept this person's expertise and his conclusions.

YT TV is infinitely superior to Comcast for me by default because it has Paramount, TMC, and ACC network. Comcast doesn't have these. I am unsure if FiOS does either, anymore.

And the default Comcast movie channels haven't shown anything worthwhile in five years.

IIRC YT doesn't have Comedy Central, but that was the only notable thing I remember it missing off the top of my head.

I think it has comedy central now. I don't know for sure because it's not sports or TCM or PBS

You obviously have a skewed definition of "Near Christmas."
