Yes, it's a crappy situation all around.

[Marduk]

I wonder how the ventilation in the bathroom was?

I'd hate to be around when the crap hits the fan.

[S.A.M.]

Something really stinks in that ruling.

[Tally M.]

Oh dear...it's a pun war.

I'll bet you he's gonna be the butt of jokes for a while.

21-year-old native of The Other Vancouver shot by police in West Valley. (This is where I'd insert my snarky comment that it's surprising she's white. BACKGROUND: for a while there, it seemed like police in the Northwest would shoot point-blank any person of color for sport).

Lots of snarky comments from others since she was involved in drugs. Um, still not okay to shoot her.

Is a board answer more likely to get your thumb-vote of approval if it already has some votes?

Yes!

[UffishThought]

I don't care much. I upvote something when I think "dang! I really appreciated that!" I generally don't notice thumbs until I scroll over to hit one myself.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Honestly, I'm just as likely, if not more likely, to thumb an answer if it has no votes, particularly if I feel that a lot of time went into it.

Also, I always thumb answers to my questions if it was Laser Jock, because he gives me incredible answers that no one seems to appreciate but me.

Without a doubt it's Asians. Asians are the target market.

Just saw a commercial that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming to TV on ABC. I wonder if any of the big screen names will be regulars.
