Of course Josh started it since he refused to go along with the Corporate Sellout of MST3K. Josh was an independent Free-Improv comedian on the show and he kept it that way. That's why Josh was kept as an underpaid intern maxing out at $25 per show despite Josh being a co-creator of the show with Joel...

 Gonna be a bigger problem than Billy Carter. –Mistakes were made, brothers were killed.
See note on Billy Carter, above. “Mistakes were made” is a commonly used dodge by politicians to acknowledge error without pinning blame on any specific person: the passive construction suggests that no one actually made the mistakes; they just materialized out of thin air. President Ronald Reagan famously used the phrase during the Iran-contra scandal in 1986, but the earliest use I was able to find was by Richard Nixon’s press secretary, Ron Ziegler, in 1973, apologizing for his attacks on Washington Post stories about the Watergate scandal.

For years, I liked the riff in Cave Dwellers “Lisa Foster? I’d shoot Donald Regan to prove my love for Lisa Foster!”

I THOUGHT it was just an off-version of Ronald Reagan to go with Lisa (instead of Jodie) Foster.

Recently while watching a video about the Iran-Contra Affair, I was shocked to realize Donald Regan was a real person! The writers didn’t just make up a funny name, that was Reagan’s Chief of Staff!

Snuck this past the censors!!

International Co-operators Day seven-banded rainbow flag for 1936 Minnesota parade festival

  seven-banded rainbow flag was officially adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) in 1925—following a proposal by French cooperator Charles Gide—and was prominently flown during International Co-operators' Day celebrations in 1936 as a symbol of global unity, peace, and cooperation

    Justin Martyr took Lamentations to mean Pneuma (Logos Breath Holy Spirit) of Christ: Professor Marian Hillar

     

    In Lamentations 4:20, the prophet Jeremiah refers to King Zedekiah, the last ruling king of Judah before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. [1, 2, 3]
    The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, Was caught in their pits, Of whom we said, “Under his shadow We shall live among the nations.”

    $16 insulated canvas overalls from Bangladesh!

     Since I don't get paid then why should I pay? hahaha. Made in Bangladesh - I got 3 pairs of insulated canvas overalls. The design is wild - very wide in the legs and chest. Yet short in the leg length?! Hmm. A nice "button" option to open up the right side pocket to get at the underlying clothing pocket (assumes you are wearing another pair of pants underneath). hahahahah.

     Brahma men’s insulated canvas bib overalls in brown cotton with front pocket and blue denim shirt.

    I got two in the wash to shrink down and clean off the toxic residue. I'm wearing the third one - can feel the toxic residue.

    Even the pockets are insulated! Very wild and strange but I like it.

    The buckle clasps are super cheap but I have them pinned in so hopefully they're survive the dryer....

    So I'll have to replace the buckle clasps but even my Carhartt buckle clasp broke (and I haven't replace that one yet).

    These were on clearance - not sure why - but normally insulated overalls are like $120 minimum - plus shipping. This was free shipping. So literally $16 a pair.

    They have a "pencil pocket" which is kind of funny - I have worn a ton of other overalls and none have a "pencil pocket."

    The question is - can I sit in padmasana full lotus and the answer is YES - there's a HUGE space in the crotch and the legs are super wide - so lots of room to stretch the legs out in.

    Also this will keep my knees warm all winter - as in full lotus padmasana the knees get easily cold....

     So normally they are $50 to $60 new but these were clearance and the Carhartts are like $120 to $140 new...

    So $16 is way way cheaper price....

    the zipper easily breaks also.... 

     but if I'm just wearing them to keep warm - the zipper is not a big deal.
