@OwenGregorian this is how Democrats tally votes -- **obviously** they can't start counting up the D votes until they first complete counting up the Rs -- how else are they gonna know what number they have to beat?

@Jerry_C__ @flyneworleans @TSA I get the hyperbole, but either would make a more effective improvised weapon than a box cutter ...

@Steezehuman Easy! That's SHElon Musk; either an AI manifestation, or a manifestation of an untreated brain disorder.

..or maybe it's Elon's long-list identical twin sister.

@gatorgar I was at Radio Shack selling a stereo system (and, yes, actually writing the dang receipt out by hand!), and the launch was playing on the TVs in the store.

Everything stopped after they said, "go for power-up".

Everyone in the store just stared at the TV in disbelief.

@1Nicdar I would say:

Astronauts will be splashing down in 40 minutes, and recovery teams are standing by in Apalachicola Bay.

For a news anchor, it's easier to invent your own geography and say it's "Tallahassee Beach".

If you're *from* Florida, prove it and pronounce "Apalachicola".

@Oldtimers365 ...assume you mean, "besides oneself".

@AmyG88409725 @MikeBales yeah .. then there was a jump cut, and they were outside a Just Shades store or a Just Lamps store. 😎

@StandUpForFact why should we care about the opinions held by people whose talent (perhaps *only* talent) is playing make-believe and pretending to be something or someone they are not?

@otokyo the first (of 20!) volumes of the Microsoft Windows API documentation, circa 1990.

@RockNRoLL_85 🤔 hmm ...given the pose, I'd guess those are tickets to a Whitesnake concert.

@OnlyinFlorida2 Tallahassee, for the past 30+ years.

I could always do a southern accent, on demand. Now, I actually *think* (and talk to myself!) with a southern accent. 🤣

@otokyo "K-PLOP"
