But the worst thing I've tried was just as we were about to land, likely literally 2 seconds from touching, the pilot jerks the plane as hard as he can up into ascent again and starts circling. Like the engines just went FULL throttle like when you take off and the plane accelerated ridiculously fast up.
FWIW, that's called a go-around. It is extremely routine and they happen all the time for one reason or another. There was something about the landing the pilot didn't like, and they only get one shot at it so they abort the landing and try again. It's really nothing to worry about.

They're puppies, they haven't been trained, so yes. We've even had puppies pick up poop and carry it into the endzone!
So, how many points is that worth?

Please do whatever you can to convince Jon and Comedy Central to replace him, I think you'd be fantastic.

All the Helen Lovejoys in the world who want someone to think of the children because if they see a casino it might turn them into degenerate gambling addicts.
The intent is to limit the location of casinos, so they can't be built just anywhere. When casinos were first legalized in Missouri, first they had to be on boats and gambling could only take place when they were sailing - no gambling while docked. Then eventually the casino lobbyists got them to relax the laws so there could be gambling while the boat was docked. Then after that, voters approved a measure to allow gambling on "boats in moats" - gambling in boats that don't move, in moats with water pumped in from the river. However, there's a wide definition of boat here, because some of the newer casinos built under this law - Ameristar in St. Charles and Hollywood Casino and Lumiere Place in St. Louis are really just giant buildings with hotels and restaurants where the actual gambling floor is over water. They look nothing like boats, and you'd have no idea you were over water. In fact, if you look at the aerial view of Lumiere Place you'll notice there's several parking lots, a building, and the riverfront between it and the water. And when you walk into the casino, you have absolutely no idea you're walking onto a "boat". But thanks to the marvels of modern engineering, and loose interpretation of Missouri's gambling laws, the casino part of the complex is over water from the river.

Not a doctor, but Ibuprofen can fuck with your kidneys the same way Tylenol can fuck with your liver. My family has a history of kidney issues, and no history of liver issues, so I take Tylenol.
I guess now that he doesn't have a spare, he wants to do everything he can to keep it functioning.
