On May 19, 1984, before a live studio audience for the game show Press Your Luck, a squirrely-looking, gray-bearded 35-year-old named Michael Larson leapt from behind his podium and squealed with joy.
For the contestant, the show’s catchphrase, “Big bucks, big bucks, no Whammies!”, had just come to fruition: in an era where no single contestant ever won more than $40,000 — not even those competing on ever-popular The Price In Right, or Wheel of Fortune — Larson had earned $110,237 ($253,000 in 2015 dollars).
And in achieving this, he’d overcome insurmountable odds...or had he?
I have been officially told by my PhD supervisors that I need to throw in a dead gay French philosopher in my lit review in order to open it up to a wider potential reading base
Imagine: Samantha Cameron, arms firmly folded while sat primly on a chaise longue, just absolutely furious. Imagine: David Cameron, keenly ignoring the phone, on his hands and knees. "No, Samantha," he's saying. "I never fucked a pig." Imagine: the year is 2017, and David Cameron's son uses the internet for the first time. Imagine: the entire Conservative press team at 11PM last night, all drawing straws to see who will make the phone call. "Hi, David," an intern is saying. "Yeah, I know this is when you usually watch your Antiques Roadshow re-runs. It's just... Lord Ashcroft told the Daily Mail you fucked a pig?" They are trying to spin this, they are gazing at a whiteboard saying "PIGFUCKING = AUSTERITY?" and undoing their ties, they are imagining a world where Tessa Jowell is PM instead, and there are tears.
Thing is: did Cameron really do this? Exhibit A: Lord Ashcroft is an exceptional example of a billionaire who has very publicly soured on Cameron since he failed to give him a significant government job after rising to power. Now, if I were a billionaire with a grudge – and here's hoping I will be one day, having just this morning put my penis in the mouth of a severed pig's head and taken a shiny photo of it in line with a pact I made with the devil – if I were a billionaire with a grudge, capable of batting off even the most expensive libel legal bills, would I as a joke say the prime minister once fucked a pig's head? I absolutely would do that thing. Because there is no way Cameron can wiggle out of #piggate without publicly calling a press conference and saying, "I, David Cameron, never put my penis in a pig." If he doesn't do that, we will forever have him down as a pigfucker. History will have him down as a pigfucker. Jeremy Corbyn will breeze into the next prime minister's questions and lean close to the microphone and whisper, "But David, you put your dick in a pig." And here's the best thing: Cameron can't even resign his way out of this, because then he would forever be the prime minister who fucked a pig so hard he had to quit. Burn your copies of Catch-22 and buy Lord Ashcroft's book about pigfucking instead. This is better.

I just finished this, it really was entertaining to read
Actually went to a gym today vs. using what was around the house. Gotta not take those pre workouts too soon if driving to the gym. Not speeding is pretty fucking hard once they hit you.
A lot of exercises benefited from having more than 100 lbs of weight total.
I'm going to need to bother someone to spot my benches, I think. Going to have a hard time breaking past 115 without one.

did the new york post and daily news and their british equivalents make good headlines today?
I love the fact that the guy who broke #piggate (I will give this story the -gate suffix that I normally try to guard because lol) is named Lord Ashcroft.

-Indiana Solo, runner of blades

I wish I didnt buy a video card that was so long.!
Because he's a good babby hodgeheg
(scientifically speaking)
I think my fav is italian or indian

Why do you hurt yourself like this? Is it a cry for help?
this is the most correct answer
some is good.
im not big on coconut or peanut sauce for the most part so that limits my thai cravings
Five years alter and it still looks nice but I remember the facial animations being a lot better.
this is a mistake
*vomits everywhere*
Thai food is pretty likely to have coriander in it.
Making it pretty likely to be terrible.

Those were probably the weakest part. I remember more than a few scenes of Alan looking at something with dead eyes and mouth open in an O.
I can barely contain my disgust
I AM DISGUSTED
(Turns out I couldn't contain it)
Did you ever play the two DLCs? The Signal and the Whatchamacallit?
In other news it's difficult to adjust to normal sleeping after a stretch of night shifts.
They better get absolutely nailed to the wall so nobody can say, "See? Emissions regulations don't really work anyway!"
(of course they will anyway. But at least if VW has it's head ripped off, maybe someone else will think twice before copycatting a stunt like that)
I did not. I always meant to and never got around to it. Also the...whatever American Nightmare is? I guess it's not really a sequel.
And then
The roll stopped
