weird news: God spares atheist and her family from tornado

[redandguilty]

You will. It's not subtle.

I read it. I don't get what you mean when you say that God accommodates our thirst to wage war.

No that was Bob Vito.

I sort of remember him from his days with one of the broadcast network affiliates; his bio says it was NBC 4.

How about that, that guy used to put his cigarettes butts in his Coca Cola can; I never would have guessed that about him from all those years watching him on television....

You read it and you don't get it? God does not stop us from waging war. He allows us to feel the full effects of it, even if we don't recognize them in advance.

oppose in principle, but will accommodate

It sounds too much to me like conditional approval. If all you're saying is that we have free will, by 'accommodate' you mean we are not prevented from it, then ok, but it reads weird to me.

Bill Bonds?? The Bondso-Meter?? He used to smoke on set and once in a while a plume of blue cigarette smoke would drift across camera and he was the one in Chicago who asked Bill Clinton about Hilary in some Dem primary debate ahead of the 1992 election.

Bonds's eyes are so yellow that he has to have them rotoscoped frame-by-frame to make them white.

Is he still on TV..?? Is he still alive??!



Now Huel Perkins ...that guy was smooth. He could deliver the news like nobody's business!

According to Wikipedia, apparently the answers are yes and yes.

Wow - who woulda thunk, huh?

I caddied at Oakland Hills for a summer when I was a kid, and I remember seeing Bonds up close in person on the course a couple times... he was a lot scrawnier looking and unhealthy looking than he was on TV.

leathery skin; heavy smoker, heavy drinker.

this was '94, and he looked like cancer personified.

And here that bastard is still going strong 20 odd years later, now in his early 80s, nevertheless...

How often do you talk to people that speak in a redneck voice?

Not often. I live in Chicago, you know. However, it's my default mental voice when I read someone's anti-social, regressive, religious or racist, opinions, thoughts or political positions. for example, whenever I would read a tsmith post, I read it in a redneck accent.

though you'd be happy to know I don't do that with anyone else who posts here.

Red necks in Michigan and in the midwest talk differently than red necks in the south. Red necks in the midwest talk the way the characters talked on Rosanne.

 

[tinselwolverine]

What happened after that was just too surreal for words...

Okay...

You can NOT do this to us...

 

[tinselwolverine]

That is pretty trippy...

 

[Thumb]

So you went down like that because of your own state of mind, or because you wanted to end the inning so the kid could learn his dad was dead?

 

[tinselwolverine]

You know...even if you hadn't seen it, you might have struck out anyway...

 

[TheVictors]

I've never heard anything remotely like your story before Byco, nor could imagine it. I can't imagine at all --- so, well ....

Why I remember this, I don't know, but I struck out 5 times in two seasons on the varsity.

Is that counting the time you had a contentious exchange with the iconic Marilyn Turner moments before you witnessed the pitcher's you were about to hit against father fall over dead, or do you give yourself a mulligan on that one?

 

[TheVictors]

I rarely steuck out either - hit .444 my senior year on a lot of singles and doubles
