Liners with no underwear results in no swamp arse and chafing while running

running strings hold the pants up from falling down while running

quote:I can at least understand why a person would like Ten - and Black is modestly passable. But it still kind of sucks. And EVERYTHING after Ten is unlistenable bilge.
Such a bad take. Would put most of Ten on before I put on a red hot song. State of Love and Trust is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to songs outside of Ten.
Ten is in a league of it's own with very few albums in that league. A better topic would've been Vitalogy vs Stadium Arcadium.

Really surprised to see all the RHCP love. They fricking suck
This doesn't suck. Very clever tune...and features one of the most blistering outro solos of all time (even though it's mostly just one bent note).

quote:Right. If the 4D chess results in some kind of absurd own goal with Singapore, it's indefensible.
There is not much love in Singapore for PRC nationals. There are cultural ties to be sure, but Singapore has been a consistent ally to the US on geopolitics in the region.
I don’t see the PRC having a consistent (and welcomed) military presence there. We have CVN’s and Aegis there on regular basis.

Such a great movie but pisses me off to no end knowing years later Joe Biden and his admin let the Taliban gain control back of Afghanistan. Biden should have been impeached for that and the only person who was fired was someone who criticized the decisions of the admin. Such a shameful bunch that Biden admin was. Sorry, rant over.

quote:Eh. Starting with Californication (and continuing with Stadium Arcadium), RHCP were pretty fricking serious. There are at least 15 songs on just those 2 albums that are vastly better than the best PJ song (which is State of Love and Trust, not all that good to begin with).
Kinda an apples-oranges comparison because PJ was so serious compared to RHCP fun funk.
re: Foreign terror connection to the Bourbon Street attack is now confirmed

Something like this. Maybe a reporter is assigned 2 dozen news stories to track. Every week, 15 minutes or one half hour of a news profram is dedicated to updating old stories.
“Regarding the Bourbon Street attack a month ago, I contacted FBI Special Agent in Charge William Williamson who said they are developing leads. There remains a belief that international terrorism was at play…yada yada. “

Can anyone identify any that have this combo:
zipper pockets
7"
NON-TIE DRAWSTRING??? This is the one I just can't find. I want the ones that have an elastic waistband but you DO NOT HAVE TO TIE.

Seems like we could just address them with normal diplomacy.
I hear a lot of grandstanding and name calling and finger pointing on both sides. But the actual issues seem like they can be addressed without all the drama
I think Trudeau going woke caused a bunch of id overreaction.
