BF2S Forums The Dead Pool

I totally forgot to do anything special in my classes for Jimmy Carter dying. My assistant who is 60 asked me why I didn't do anything today. He was so old and so distant that it didn't even register to me that I should do something.

I thought about maybe putting on the funeral. So I watched about 5 seconds of it on Youtube and I was bored. I can't dump that shit on the students. No one needs that negativity 9:30 in the morning.

Why do funerals need to be so boring?

I don't want a trad Catholic funeral.

I want the most cosmopolitan celebration of life possible.

I would like a nice Mausoleum though.

Found out an old boss died. He always said he'd be dead before 50 and he wasn't wrong.

ripe old age for an american

Crazy, just saw that.

He used to do the weather on a local indie station here. Always a little joy to look forward to on the daily commute

luigi's situation stinks. how is he expected to get a fair trial when people in power have gone out of their way to smear him (even while ostensibly preferring adjectives like "suspected" in some cases)? various law enforcement have made a point of parading him about like they personally caught the joker? while news sites wring their hands about the potential for sympathetic jurors because of his cult following in social media, i have to wonder where the concern is in those articles about stuff like elected officials already baying for his blood.

people have saint luigi candles. what's going to happen if he "hangs" himself in prison?

If Gene Hackman had had a cat maybe his wife wouldn't have died.

Not if she hadn't died

I think any cat parent knows this is their future



Whenever I lay on the floor and played dead the last cat would start gnawing my arm.
I have a video somewhere.

I thought that only applied to mice.

Then there are simple dog attacks.

There are huge numbers of dog attacks requiring hospital treatment and/ore police involvement every year.

dog and cat saliva are both equally bad for
you. if you get bitten by any animal you need a round of shots. somehow i doubt the inside of your cat’s mouth is a germ-free zone. they are both disgusting.

toxoplasmosis is spread from cats to humans. dogs don’t host it. it swiss cheeses your brain more effectively than a lifetime of cocaine so enjoy your remaining years of cognisance with that emotional support fur ball.

dissssgusting!

did anyone have george foreman for 2025? some lost sports history there.

but: i have some perhaps uncharitable opinions, because foreman had uncharitable opinions, and because i'm going to be hearing about this from mopey boomers soon enough anyway. i may as well get it out of my system here, anonymously.

political comments about the "sore losers," in 2017? did not age well on jan 6. "kaepernick etc is not patriotic; did not have patriotic upbringings," -paraphrase. all this, coming from the guy who lamented political commentary from athletes? shut up.

some rich guy with zero military service chiding people for using freedoms afforded to them because of "sacrifices made so people can have those freedoms." again (because conservatives make that argument so wearyingly often), how is it a disrespect to dead american soldiers for an american to exercise the very freedoms that conservatives argue dead american soldiers died for americans to have? this makes zero sense. if i were a dead soldier who blew up on d-day or whatever, i would instead be insulted if americans slept through our freedoms.

i feel bad for his family but i can't lament the lost potential for foreman appearances on podcasts. or the day-after wanks from conservative acquaintances when they start lavishing the guy with praise out of nowhere and leave me fishing for context on why the heck it came up. me, later: "oh, it's because he said something vaguely republican."

that's a good observation, but i've already had foreman's opinions sagaciously paraded in front of me by two-dots argumentation: "a celebrity shares my viewpoint!" i predict some more of this irt foreman in the near future, sort of like this:

a conservative in a circle once again disingenuously slides this stuff into a conversation starter all coy-like. but even if i'm not directly aware of what's going on at first, i can read the beginnings of a trap. it's like being roadrunner watching wile e coyote painting a tunnel on the side of a cliff. they start with some unrelated thing, name drop, then tie the name to the thing they want to convince you of. yawn. at least the most it takes is going *MEEP MEEP* and their argument jumps into the air and impales a rocky overhang with its head.

it boggles my mind that a someone will sit and absorb everything, for ex, foreman says as gospel, even if it isn't boxing or grilling, yet will dismiss expert opinion on stuff like vaccines. why. is this something rehearsed in shower arguments? how did it win?

old or not, i do feel bad for his exceedingly large family. it's still a sad thing. although, i don't know how close they were.

i think if you're going to be a political hot takes sports guy, it helps if you aren't also a hypocrite about it.

it's also weird seeing someone incline their head respectfully at the christian piety of a hundred-millionaire.

again, i don't want to take away from his achievements or diminish the family's loss. i'm just battening the hatches for a week's deluge of all things foreman.
