@KDemo Pope criticism? I've pretty much stopped following any news related to Trump, but did he actually criticize the Pope? Even if he did, I doubt it would hurt him at all. I think his base is mostly protestant and most protestants are raised with an unhealthy distrust of all things Catholic. You should have heard the reactions when my family found out my husband is Catholic.
@PurplePawprints - The Pope basically said that if he were really Catholic, he would build bridges instead of walls for immigrants. Nothing seems to touch him though, so far.
@KDemo Thanks for the clarification. I keep hoping he'll make an announcement that we've all been punked or something, but I'm scared that announcement's not coming.
@KDemo Watching Trump is a bit like watching pro wrestling. And i'm tempted for all the same trashy reasons.
I've managed to control myself, mostly by not having any tv's in my current residence, but the news screens in the elevators keep me informed against my wishes.
Cockroaches They date back 320 million years ago. They originated at least back in the Jurassic. In North America there are 50 species and 450 species are found in Australia. Popularly suggested that cockroaches will "inherit the earth" if humanity destroys itself in a nuclear war. Cockroaches have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, with the lethal dose six to 15 times that for humans.
That ad with the puppy/monkey/baby thing. It's so awful that I can't even recall what it is advertising. (And I don't wanna know, really. Whatever it is, I don't want it.)
The first time I saw the music video for that song, I wanted to scoop my eyes out with a special spoon, dump them in a pot of boiling water, then freeze them in said water, and just keep them in my freezer.
Before I got a chance to do that, I saw an even weirder music video, so... meh.
@FroodyFrog Technically I suppose you're right, but I wasn't sure what to say without making it sound like I wanted the Kardashians to be dead. Although, there are moments . . .
@KDemo I don't have a TV, so I haven't seen their show either. However, I do go onto Facebook which sometimes seems like Kardashian Central. Undead indeed.
@FroodyFrog And speaking of things that should die: Every bedamned site or product that nags/ shows a pop-up "Like us on Facebook!" with a link. My response is something like "Bugger Facebook and your stupid product!"

Trump: I really thought some Pope criticism would derail the Trump campaign. Time to declare him one of the undead?

@KDemo really Christian, not Catholic

Overused phrases such as: At the end of the day, To be honest with you, the fact of the matter is, It is what it is.
@hurricain And those classic workplace phrases: Moving forward; Think outside the box; Step up to the plate; Touch base
@hurricain @cinoclav - Yes! And saying "It's all good" when it's not. So dismissive.

@rockblossom
@cinoclav I love that commercial.
@rockblossom this one?
@sohmageek @rockblossom
Never saw that commercial before now, but now my brain and eyes are mad at me for watching it.
@sohmageek - Creeeeepy.

@connorbush - I'm with you, who needs pissed off people? They can play politics if they want to fight.
@KDemo East vs West
@mfladd East Coast vs Best Coast battle you say? Let me call in the troops!
(Because what's wrong with having a little fun when you know it's all in jest? )
@jaremelz
@mfladd Why?
@KDemo
and because it's fun ;)
@mfladd
@FroodyFrog Is that one of mine, or one of yours. I don't know where you stand in this war.
@mfladd
I'm an East Coaster, but at this point in time, I'm a pacifist regarding this particular war.
@FroodyFrog Can i contribute to dinner?
@jaremelz Froody...Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!
@jaremelz
There really ARE gifs for anything. Wow. (I especially like the name of this gif)
Though to be honest, i prefer this dancing frog:
@FroodyFrog Let me give you a hand with that.
@FroodyFrog Pacifist? You just put a squirrel on a spit. How is that zen?
@mfladd
I forgot to label my post as a peek inside the dark side of the Squirrel Wars.
@mfladd - Looking forward to your goat day coast war.
References to anything Kardashian.
@heartny
Wouldn't that include your statement? In that case, the request was never made, so it was never carried out.
However, instead of this becoming an infinite loop, we can just throw in a clause to stop the loop.
I'd write it now, but I'm too hungry to think.
@FroodyFrog Technically I suppose you're right, but I wasn't sure what to say without making it sound like I wanted the Kardashians to be dead. Although, there are moments . . .
@heartny - I've never ever seen their show, but I still know stuff about them that I never wanted to know. Ugh! Undead, for sure.
@KDemo I don't have a TV, so I haven't seen their show either. However, I do go onto Facebook which sometimes seems like Kardashian Central. Undead indeed.
@heartny @KDemo
Thankfully I personally don't use Facebook, so I'm protected a lot from knowing stuff about them.

@KDemo I no longer have any knowledge of pop culture because they canceled The Soup. I really miss it, it kept informed about things I should avoid.
@Teripie - Lol. My pop culture knowledge comes from magazines in doctor/dentist waiting rooms. The healthier I am, the less informed.
@KDemo
Great motivation to stay healthy. ;)
