    Murder is definitely crossing a line. The line is called "murder" and you cross it when you assassinate someone.

    The NFL is a win-now league. 2 bad seasons and everyone, including the people who drafted the QB, are usually gone. And if those people are gone the QB is usually next out the door too. No one is given more than 2-3 years to figure out a rebuild.

    We don't have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

    I'm a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It's never explained in detail because it's a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and "cannon" Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.

    As for the quote you referenced. Garfield has thought bubbles. Jon talks. Lyman exists because he can talk while Garfield can only "think". Jim Davis originally thought it would be confusing to have thought clouds and talk bubbles interacting. Like how does a cat talk with a person? But that quickly became the norm in the comic. Once talking and thinking could interact, Lyman no longer needed to exist.

    The article makes it sound like he was tied to the trunk of a tree, not hanging from a branch, and also that there was no knot in the rope. I'm definitely having trouble putting those details together into suicide or murder or lynching, the whole thing is very odd.

    I can see why the sheriff doesn't want to rush to call it lynching when there isn't evidence of lynching specifically. BUT it appears to be a horrific and violent crime that surely should be their first priority. Sheriff's statement is downplaying the whole thing.

    Prior to Trump it was mostly fringe candidates like Storm Thurmund (1948), George Wallace (1968), David Duke (1988, 1992), Pat Buchanan (1992, 1996).

    In terms of major candidates, there are some questionable endorsements for candidates like Nixon and Reagan. But you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president who was openly happy about receiving those endorsements.

    Never touched the series after they started marketing for kids

    It was always marketed at kids. The anime, which came out a full year before the video game (in the USA), was about a 10 year old boy. The video game was the same. Who do you think the audience was if not 10 year olds?

    Mine probably would be worth something, however they were stolen in the 3rd grade by a classmate. Those were Japanese cards from about a year before they started making the English cards. However if they weren't stolen, and I still had them, their condition would probably be 2/10 because I was taking them everywhere. So worthless based on condition.

    Falling Down (1993), Freeway (1996) are two that I saw fairly recently and the 90's were jumping off the screen.

    Pauly Shore had 90's career. Encino Man (1992), Jury Duty (1995), Bio-Dome (1996). His only movie of the 2000's was Pauly Shore is Dead (2003) which was about no one caring about him anymore.

    Trades once per hour? But that would be fair for everyone, can't have that. People pay thousands or millions to get stock prices 30 seconds faster, because there are fortunes to be made with 30 seconds of advantage.

    Do you know a place to find large/tall clothes?

    Americantall.com is where I've been buying from recently. Do you have another option? ' I'm 6'4" and 200 pounds. A typical large is too short. XL and XXL is wider and not longer. I need a place to order a Large X-Long.
