  - to be fair, pepper spray is often more regulated that guns -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 20:05
I don’t think Twitter wants to go back to when it was just funny and not Very Serious Business. That’s too bad since 60% of the platform is made up. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 16:49 1
- All tweets are made up. -- nm - Thor Jan 14, 16:50

Meyer to Jacksonville is official. NFL Live was speculating if he’d prefer Fields over Lawrence. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 14, 15:49 3
- I guess he wasn’t coach during the Field years—but he could still have leanings that way -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 16:05 2
  - No but he recruited him. And a quick call from Day saying “I know what you value and THIS is the guy” could make a difference. - Volnelk Jan 14, 17:13 1
    - Lawrence is going number one. That’s a slam dunk. And Jacksonville doesn’t have any reason to trade down. -- nm - David Jan 14, 17:16

  - Ike is an interesting choice -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 14, 16:08 2
    - Most of my reasoning (except desegregation/civil rights) was actually related to FDR, so I would really go with him, I guess. - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:53 1
      - I don't think Ike is a bad choice just not one I expected. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 14, 16:57
- FDR and Obama, I think. -- nm - mara Jan 14, 15:46 2
  - It feel like the right, er, I mean left answer. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 16:30

- Lincoln and FDR. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 15:42

  - That escalated quickly. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:30 1

Best joke about the looting (or museum reacquisition, whatever is going on) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 14, 14:23 10
- this my favorite perk as POTUS. every national museum/archive has to loan stuff if it's wanted in the White House. I would be lost for months picking - Peglegpete Jan 14, 15:36
- First I've heard of this. Trump is cleaning out the White House? -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 14:57 7
  - It’s always done. Everything goes back to museums and the Bidens will select items they want displayed and that stuff gets brought in. -- (link*) - Volnelk Jan 14, 14:59 2
    - The taxidermy looked like it was being taken by Mark Meadows wife, though. But maybe misidentified. -- (link) - mara Jan 14, 15:11 1
      - the Teddy Roosevelt bear is too big for her car -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 14, 15:33
  - So far we've seen a bust and a taxidermied pheasant. -- nm - mara Jan 14, 14:58 3
    - So it's this? -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 15:28 [youtube]

LOL. I just read a PFF 2021 NFL Mock draft. - Strongbad Jan 14, 14:05 7
- Unless Tua flat out didn’t do the work, there’s no sense in giving up this early. He was a multi-year tank target. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 14:11 3
  - They have him going to SF for the #12 pick and MIA picking Fields -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 14:14 2
    - Again, if you give up on Tua now, you better nail both ends of it. Giving him to Shanahan is risky as hell. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 14:28
    - I was just going to say Tua would be a Jimmy G or Bridgewater, at worst. If he’s not a top 10 QB, which you can’t know yet -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 14:24
- They had QBs going 1-2-3 and #2 was Wilson—pure clickbait -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 14:10 1
  - Oh, I absolutely think Wilson may go #2. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jan 14, 14:22
- PFF also has 5 QB's taken in the 1st 9 picks. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 14:07
there were books we wouldnt carry, but we'd special order some. Whenever I saw this one on the pick-up shelf, it would ruin my day. -- (link) - mud Jan 14, 13:51 1

I'm reposting from B2: I'd remind you all of the folks to took over the federal offices of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and got off scott free -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 13:32 2
- but it did give us a glorious "Please quit mailing us dildos" post -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 17:14
- Because the U.S. Attorney's office didn't prosecute the case correctly, not because of a miscarriage of justice. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 14, 13:44
Disneyland Cancels All Annual Passes, Suspends Program Indefinitely -- (link) - budice Jan 14, 13:32 9
