  1. STEVE SMITH WONDER IF E.COLI CAN BE CAUGHT FROM AN APP?

    Poor Playa.

    1. I think that will make Playa laugh – he is notorious for shorting Chipotle.

      1. I misread this the first time and thought Playa was notorious for snorting Chipotle. 😮

        1. OneOut

          That too.

  2. Yusef drives a Kia

    I thought it said Eloi,
    same difference to STEVE SMITH, ALL RAPE SNACK

    1. ALL THE WORLD RAPE BUFFET FOR STEVE SMITH!

    STEVE SMITH WONDER IF E.COLI CAN BE CAUGHT FROM AN APP?

    Not sure about that, but the McD’s app will be giving me a $1 Big Mac tomorrow after the Broncos lose tonight. The best things about tonight’s game is it is on NBC which I don’t get, and a big mac tomorrow.

  5. Rhywun

    As the only one here who actually likes Chipotle (well, liked – haven’t been in years since my job was exported to the food desert of Jersey City), I appreciate any steps they take to ensure fewer customers in the store.

    1. totally_not_an_escaped_ai

      Do you have some sort of fancy genetic mutation that keeps you from getting the diarrhea from there?

      1. Rhywun

        Yes? I have never had that problem.

        1. DEG

          I’ve never had it either. I might run a test tomorrow to see if I still don’t have that problem.

      2. Nephilium

        If you ran on food instead of a nutrient rich paste, you may be able to process it better.

        I’ve never had an issue with Chipotle, my biggest complaint is that they refuse to add anything that actually qualifies as spicy to the menu.

        1. Rhywun

          Out of curiosity, what specifically? I’m somewhere between “Minnesota” and “average American” on the spice scale. I like “medium” salsa. Hate most peppers and “hot” salsa.

          1. Nephilium

            I’d qualify anything habanero and up as spicy. All of Chipotle’s competitors in my area (Moe’s, Qdoba, and Hothead) have things at that level or hotter. I just wish Moe’s didn’t give you the chips with anything you order, I really don’t need to eat two helpings of tortilla chips, but if you put them in front of me…

          2. Rhywun

            I’d qualify anything habanero and up as spicy.

            Yeah, no thanks. I don’t enjoy the sensation of my mouth on fire.

          3. Nephilium

            I’m just looking for the option, not trying to force it on anyone. My heat tolerance has led to some arguments at Indian and Chinese restaurants however.

          4. Rhywun

            I’m just looking for the option, not trying to force it on anyone

            But of course.

            I recently ordered the lowest of three spice levels at a Thai food truck and they gave me the highest. It was inedible. What kind of mutant freak can eat that?!

          5. Nephilium

            /cautiously raises hand

            I’m living in an area that’s slowly building up a reputation as “little India”, and one of the local Indian restaurants hottest level is just at my threshold for too hot to eat. It’s just another sign that at some point we’ll get to hear politicians talk about the capsaicin epidemic.

          6. Rhywun

            Gotta be a genetic component.

            How swarthy are you? I’m pasty and descend from gingers.

          7. Nephilium

            You’d be hard pressed to get paler then me. My genetic stock is Irish, Scottish, German Swiss, and Eastern European. I’m pale enough that when I was younger, after a day of swimming in the public pool, I managed to get sunburn on the bottom of my feet.

          8. pan fried wylie

            Wanting the option is understandable, wanting to deceptively underlabel isn’t. On my heat scale, anything “Spicy” prompting an external physiological response deserves an “Extra” or other qualifier to denote that fact. Really, I’m not sure if “Spicy” is even very expressive in a scale format, like it’s more qualitative than quantitative.

            Mild: no heat
            Medium: just a tingle
            Hot: you get a nice constant burn after a few bites
            Extra Hot: sweating
            Atomic: expelling moisture from everywhere, reddening, dont-touch-your-junk hot

          9. Rhywun

            Or just list the Scoville units.

          10. westernsloper

            I am not sure all this heat talk has to do with skin pigmentation but more to conditioning and upbringing. When I was a ute I was a blonde/redheaded scrawny little fucker but we ate spicy food because that is what you eat here. Mexican food is as part of our culture as it is in Mexico. It is a mix of cultures, (god bless america) but it is still some spicy stuff. I have a very high tolerance for spicy and most things I cook are on the hot side. I have however had Thai street food that put me on my heels. I had to add it to a bunch of rice to make it edible for me. Thai chilis are another level of hot.

          11. Rhywun

            Oh I’m sure you’re right. You have to build a tolerance to that stuff. It was definitely not part of my upbringing.

    2. Mustang

      I also like Chipotle. It’s not amazing or anything, but if you want to grab something reasonably healthy when you’re out and about it’s a pretty good option.

      1. C. Anacreon

        I thought it made blood come out of your ass.

  6. westernsloper

    Goodell has not budged from an offer he submitted around Aug. 1 in which he asks for $49.5 million per year, the lifetime use of a private jet and lifetime health insurance for his family (cue the players’ fury).

    His family has lifetime health insurance. It is called Medicaid. He just has to spend the hundreds of millions he already has to qualify.

    Serious note, if he can negotiate that good on him. That is a ridiculous amount of money. Now if we can stop cities from subsidizing that league with stadiums I would be happy. Maybe not happy, but less pissed off anyway.

    1. Rufus the Monocled

      Lifetime use of private jet.

      Someone can’t get used to going back and face the TSA!

      With his salary, can’t he just buy himself a jet?

      1. westernsloper

        lifetime demands on any contract seems absurd to me. What the hell does he think he is? Crowned Prince of the NFL?

        1. F. Stupidity Jr.

          But the NFL is flourishing under his leadership!

        2. juris imprudent

          Apparently he thinks he is Jerry Jones.

    2. Rhywun

      Now if we can stop cities from subsidizing that league with stadiums I would be happy.

      Yeah, until this stops I am not going to feel any qualms complaining about the ridiculous money all around – players, coaches, etc.

      1. westernsloper

        +1 yep

  7. DEG

    HA HA, ENGLAND RUN OUT OF GRIT?!

    Lots of global warming in those pictures.

    1. westernsloper

      Ya, that story confused me. It never gets cold in England? I have only been there in the summer and it wasn’t warm then.

      1. Rhywun

        Gulf Stream, dude. Europe doesn’t get as cold as the US at similar latitudes. Like England is at the same latitude of Quebec.

        1. C. Anacreon

          Ha! Private jets don’t affect continental weather.

      2. Drake

        It gets to be like a nasty wet November day in New England. Like 38 degrees and drizzling. That was my experience there in the winter. No deep freeze or big blizzards even though the sun goes down at about 2 pm.

    2. The Last American Hero

      Laugh all you want, but if this were an unseasonably warm November in England, the global warming bs would be broadcast on every major media outlet.

  8. DEG

    Dated, but apropos given the Cameroonian article:

    Riding in a Cameroonian beer truck

    At 2 p.m. on a Thursday in October 2002, I was to join 1,600 crates of stout on board a big truck bound for Bertoua, a small town in Cameroon’s south-eastern jungle.

    As the crow flies, this is about 500 kilometers — as far as from London to Edinburgh, or New York to Pittsburgh. The journey was supposed to take 18 hours, including an overnight rest stop.

    It took four days — and when the truck arrived it was carrying only two thirds of its original load.

    1. That sounds like every fuel tanker and supply truck that showed up at our base in Afghanistan.

    2. westernsloper

      That is good. What fun Cameroon is.

      One frowning thug declared that my Cameroonian visa was on the wrong page of my passport.

      That happened to me once but I do not remember what country I was in. I said, “Well I am not the one who stamped it there. What am I supposed to do about that?”

      I worked in that fine country twice. Both times in the south west. Nigerian beer was readily available so they were both good jobs.

    3. Somalian Road Corporation

      The pithiest explanation of why Cameroonians have to put up with all this came from the policeman at roadblock No. 31, who had invented a new law about carrying passengers in trucks, found Martin guilty of breaking it — and confiscated his driving license.

      When it was put to him that the law he was citing did not, in fact, exist, he patted his holster and replied: “Do you have a gun? No. I have a gun, so I know the rules.”

      Indeed.

  9. ArchieBunker

    What language is that on the Cameroon link? It looks like how you would write the words of someone with a speech impediment.

    1. Nigerian Pidgin. When the BBC first launched the site, posting links there was a thing.

      1. ArchieBunker

        Well, I just think it’s racist, making fun of how those poor people talk. And if we aren’t careful DeVos will have us all talking in that ebonics in a few years

  10. Rhywun

    Let the snood wars begin again!

    1. What? The gaiter necks?

      1. Rhywun

        The snood usage in English soccer was a minor controversy during a recent cold winter, including Alex Ferguson banning it from his players because it looked so ridiculous (not to mention it’s not an permissable part of the uniform).

        1. Yes, because it makes so much sense to play on open fields in the winter wearing shorts and t-shirts.

          1. Rhywun

            When you’re constantly running around you’re fine. And it wasn’t even below freezing.

    2. I always thought a snood was worn over the hair.

      1. Rhywun

        I had never heard the word until that year in the EPL. That’s the word they used. *shrug*

    3. westernsloper

      Snood? I have never heard of that. If they had class they would just wear a dickie like cousin Eddie wears.

      1. Rhywun

        “Class”? Good one.

  11. Rufus the Monocled

    It’s cute watching the Cowboys in a hurry up offense down 20. And now they lost the ball.

    Fly Eagles Fly!

    1. Juvenile Bluster

      But they’re down their best LT! And RB! And MLB! And Kicker! No other team in the NFL could still play well missing all that!

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        I do wonder how far they can take it without a starting LT and Sproles who was a demon on special teams.

        1. Juvenile Bluster

          I think Big V is fine as a starting LT. He’s obviously not as good as JP, but nobody is. He’s pretty good in the pass block (less so as a run blocker, though Ajayi and Blount looked good last week). Barner’s looked pretty good in the return game — again, not as good as Sproles, but pretty good in his own right. My biggest worry is Hicks being out, especially if we suffer any more injuries at the LB spot.

          I mean, what you want out of your backups is “average”. If you can get that you’re generally okay. We’ve gotten a little better than average from Big V and from Barner and from Elliott. Cowboys… well, you saw what happened to them at LT this week.

          1. Rufus the Monocled

            Yes, and the Eagles have generally been strong on depth from an organizational standpoint but there’s a real chance they can reach the SB and ‘average’ won’t cut it.

            With Hicks, Peters and Sproles in the lune up they could have even arguably won it.

  12. one true athena

    I was at an event today with Ted Lieu. I didn’t call him a stupid partisan hack to his face, but I really really wanted to.

      So what did you do…

      …in Lieu of that?

    3. totally_not_an_escaped_ai

      Didn’t know who he was. Looked him up – represents about the bluest district imaginable. He thought walking out on a moment of silence in Congress for the victims of the Texas church shooting was totes cool.

        So brave and woke.

      2. straffinrun

        A prog incapable of silence. Shocking.

      3. westernsloper

        That is the asshole? He gets the annual congressional uber asshole award as far as I am concerned.

      4. one true athena

        Yes, the blueness would be why I’m here anonymously. 🙂

        and he’s AWFUL. Though thankfully not quite the media whore Adam Schiff is (our other local Team Blue hack, represents Burbank).

    It’s not beer, but it’s almost as good… the top 10 selling cocktails of the year. The article has the top 50, but who cares about the loser drinks?

    1. DEG

      I’m slowly reading through a stack of periodicals. I’m reading a few months old issue of Reason, and Suderman has an article on cocktails. I thought to myself as I read the article, “This is world class trolling”. It was also a good article.

      1. Nephilium

        I recently read that article as well, and the recipes weren’t terrible versions of the cocktails. And to think that we have prohibition to thank for most of our cocktail recipes today.

  15. straffinrun

    It’s time we talk about Apu.. Sanford and Sons next?

    1. Rhywun

      “The plain fact is that most viewers are laughing at Apu, not with him.”

      Oh FFS. Citation fucking needed.

      1. John Titor

        I can’t speak for, oh, the last decade and a half of the Simpsons, but most of the jokes in regards to Apu are either:

        1. Jokes about convenience store employees getting shot.
        2. Apu providing and/or manipulating Americans into buying shitty or expired food.
        3. Apu playing straight man to whatever dumb shit Homer is up to.

        I mean, we’re clearly laughing at Apu in this scene.

    2. John Titor

      You assume Millennials have any goddamn idea what Sanford and Sons is.

      1. juris imprudent

        No one tells them until I have a corner on the market for fainting couches and smelling salts.

      So is Friends an insensitive portrayal of white people, or is Raising Hope insensitive? Or is the problem that white people were portrayed at all?

      1. Rope Snake

        “Friends” is ‘problematic’ because it’s too white.

        Unfortunately for SJWs, the writing and acting is too good for people to stop enjoying it. “I watch it, but I feel bad about it.” ‘K.

            Exactly.

    4. westernsloper

      Is Apu Indian or Pakistani? I need to know what national identity is being violated here to feel properly outraged by the violation. They all look the same to me.

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        He’s Indian.

    Ive been trying to make an effort to comment more after lurking here and the other site since 2006ish. I’m finding it difficult to keep track of my comments and responses. Other forums I frequent notify me when my comments/threads have activity. Any suggestions? I’m usually on an iPhone, sometimes a Mac running safari.

    1. Nephilium

      Quite a few people use Monocle, I just stick with reading the whole thread and then going back and commenting.

    2. Rhywun

      Monocle is good for catching new posts but there’s no easy way to see responses just to you other than using the browser’s Find function.

    3. LJW

      1. Rhywun

        I’ve almost lost my rope with zombie phone assholes not looking where they’re walking as they’re conducting their oh-so important business “on the go”. I’m considering shoulder tackles.

        1. I have a smartphone, but the only time I’d use it when I’m walking is if I want to stop to take a picture of something.

          1. Rhywun

            Same here. I could understand if it was only now and then but I swear I’m dodging dozens of these idiots every day just during a few minutes of walking through a train station and my office building.

        2. creech

          I’ve been yelled at by zombie phone users who’ve walked into me like it was my fault. Next time, if I see them coming, they might just get tripped or the phone knocked out of their hand when they bump into me.

        3. Juvenile Bluster

          I’m generally looking at my smartwatch and not my phone. Does that carry with it more or less hatred?

          1. Rhywun

            I dunno. I’ve never seen anyone do that. But if you’re walking at half speed and meandering, look out.

    3. John Titor

      My dad’s in his sixties and he just recently got a smartphone. He keeps somehow hanging up every time he tries to answer it.

      1. You can’t take the hint that he doesn’t want to talk to you when you call?

          See, I’d accept that answer if I actually called him regularly and he didn’t hang up on my mom multiple times in an emergency.

    6. whiz

      I just have a flip phone. Since I’m on my computer a lot, I don’t need a phone that connects to the internet (although the flip phone does, just very crudely). My wife has one, but she’s in county government and uses it a lot to stay in touch with the office.

    7. CPRM

      I only have a flipfone, so the government can’t read my brainwaves! *adjusts tinfoil hat* But more seriously, I get a headache look at the screen of modern phones. And also, like laptops and tablets, when I’ve been in possession of such a device I find I really have no use for it. All the things I imagined I could do with it I didn’t. And it only served as a money suck and time waster. My flip phone gets better reception, costs me less (although now it’s impossible to get a plan without data, even though I don’t use it) and doesn’t hurt my eyes.

      1. Lachowsky

        My wife is bringing home some chinese so, maybe?

    2. Gilmore

      Fail. i expected his head mounted on your hood.

      1. Lachowsky

        I havery some longhorn cattle in my pasture right now. I’m saving my hood for their horns when I decide to get rid of them.

      That sucks. My wife hit a deer Thursday night — she’s not hurt, but it will cost $2400 to repair the damage. Fortunately, she has a high vehicle, so the deer didn’t fly up onto the hood and/or windshield. It wasn’t hurt too badly, apparently, since it left the scene.

  23. Lachowsky

    It’s been a surreal afternoon/evening and I’ve been officially grounded by my doctor. My work ethic has pushed me to my literal breaking point, as I was thissss close to being hospitalized tonight and given a blood transfusion. ? I’m on an aggressive plan to heal my body as we seek more answers and do more testing over the next week, but rest and recharge are in order for now! On a brighter note, my doctor said I have the best cholesterol levels she has ever seen in her 40 years of practicing internal medicine, so hit me up if you want some health coaching ? I’ve got lots of time now! I already miss the sky.

    Thus is a post I just read on FB from a girl I went to high school with. She is big into vegan stuff and has some sort of side business where she sells supplements or advice or something on health. I’m not sure I want health coaching from a 30 yearold women who is in great shape that almost had to have a blood transfusion.

      We have a group of vegetarians in my workplace. They went full retard almost immediately. With signs saying: “What part of the chicken is the nugget?” and getting upset when I would say it’s usually cut up breast meat.

      1. Rope Snake

        Next you’ll tell me eating pork butt isn’t actually eating ass.

    2. Not an Economist

      Get better soon.

      Those orphans won’t whip themselves!

      “My work ethic has pushed me to my literal breaking point, as I was thissss close to being hospitalized tonight and given a blood transfusion.”

      I bet you she’s into all this ‘health and body’ is important stuff and then turns around and does the opposite.

      1. Lachowsky

        She’s an airline stewardess. I have a hard time believing that handing out peanuts and telling people to put on their seatbelts has anything to do with her ill health.

    4. westernsloper

      wtf? So the woman almost put herself in the hospital and nearly needed a blood transfusion and then markets her advice in the same post? Is she an idiot or a genius? You decide.

      1. Lachowsky

        She is extremely hot. I think that is most of her marketing pitch. Apparently it works.

        1. westernsloper

          link? I feel my cholesterol rising as I type this.

          1. Lachowsky

            http://imgur.com/tPEMRTP

            She’s a damn good looking woman

          2. westernsloper

            Ya, she is a genius. She looks super smart. I would buy anything she is selling actually. My cholesterol just spiked.

          3. Rufus the Monocled

            Looks like she’s in Italy if that Santa Croce water bottle is any indication.

          4. IntraveneousWoodChipper

            ^^Yep I thought the same thing. Scopriamo, bella! ?

  24. commodious spittoon

    I’m pretty sure I lost my wallet this weekend, along with most of the paycheck I’d just cashed. I can’t find it, in any event, even after tearing the house and car apart looking for it. Working theory: I dropped it on the street getting out of my car Friday night. So that’s a bummer.

    1. straffinrun

      That sucks. Any chance it gets turned in?

      1. commodious spittoon

        Given the area, little chance. Lots of transients coming through.

    2. AlmightyJB

      I had that happen before. Luckily I did get the wallet back with my driver’s license. My cash was gone though.

      1. Nephilium

        I lost my wallet once at a showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, actually got it back with all of the credit cards and cash.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Nice:)

        2. straffinrun

          Lost mine 3 times here. Got it back every time with all the cash inside.

          1. Rope Snake

            Japs are good people.

      2. My house was burgled one new year’s eve, I had jars full of change on my dresser and one jar with all of the ticket stubs from every concert I had been to. they took them all, and my camera, vcr, frozen lasagna, etc,etc… Two days later I got home from work and all the ticket stubs were in my mailbox. What kind of fucked up morality does one have to feel bad about stealing someones keepsakes but not kicking in his doors and taking all the rest of his stuff?

        1. commodious spittoon

          Yeesh. That’s a bit of a nightmare for me. In fact, a literal nightmare I had last week, with someone barging into my room while I was asleep and swiping my laptop.

          1. I guess I should have made it clear that I wasn’t home, I was out New Year’s Eve’ing, stumbled home around 5 AM to find the place ransacked.

          2. Lachowsky

            Are you sure it wasn’t you who did the ransacking. Drunk Lachowsky has done some pretty irrational shit.

          3. Pretty sure, I spent the night in a futile attempt to Weinstien a young lady from Pittsburgh. I may have been ‘try to screw a Steelers fan’ drunk, but not ‘burgle your own home’ drunk.

    3. westernsloper

      I did that once. It was in the bowling ally arcade in 1981. I could use that $200 now. I feel your pain.

      1. Lachowsky

        Damn you old bastard, that’s like 25k in 2017 dollars.

        1. westernsloper

          Right? That is like a down payment on a rental house to help fund my future retirement. I saw you mention you are buying land before. Buy homes young fella. Buy homes and rent them. You will retire before you are fifty.

          1. Lachowsky

            My dad told me many moons ago,

            “Land is the only thing they don’t make any more of”

          2. westernsloper

            Land rarely pays for itself and provides income. Either way you are smarter than me. I spent the majority of my money on hookers and booze and then wasted the rest.

      Our better angels keep raping us. What should we do?

      1. AlmightyJB

        It’s strange that I don’t really recognize the name. I would think with that history that I would know who he is.

        1. straffinrun

          Strange only if you think the media is objective.

  26. commodious spittoon

    Begun watching Detectorists on Hulu. It’s pretty oddball.

    1. commodious spittoon

      Pretty melancholy. Sedate humor. I’m enjoying it.

    Kibbled Kristine,

    The Smithsonian channel regularly plays a show a show called air disasters. It’s all about airplane crashes and what caused them. I like it. Im watching an episode right now. I know you have a thing for airplanes. It’s like slashporn for aerophiles.

    1. John Titor

      This is starting to feel like I’m in the same support group as those people from David Cronenberg’s Crash.

      1. CPRM

        I am dissapoint no one mentioned Chuck Pahlaniuck’s “Survivor”

  28. Somalian Road Corporation

    I need libertarian interior decorating advice. I just moved into a new place and have my bedroom decked with a Whiskey Rebellion flag, a black-and-white Culpeper-ish “Liberty or Death” Gadsden, a standard yellow Gadsden, the “An Appeal to Heaven” pine tree flag (I’m an atheist, but I like mottoes on flags, and my off-the-top knowledge of this one in particular helped endear me to a girl a while back, so, uh, the Lord works in mysterious ways, or something), and the Arizona state flag.

    I put up the current 50 stars flag, but I’m considering being cranky (the phrase “leviathan state” crossed my mind) and replacing it with a Betsy Ross, or maybe the first Navy jack. Alas, I only have room for one more flag if I’m going to fit in the other objets d’art (like my Hylas and the Nymphs print) and, you know, furniture.

      1. Somalian Road Corporation

        I like it, but would prefer all confused questions arising from my flags to be of the nature of “that Tea Party flag? I had no idea you were a Republican” instead of my possible status as a Virginian.

        I’ve actually only stepped foot in that state once, to visit Arlington and drive by the Pentagon during a middle school class trip. It was during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, so I think it was a small nudge pushing me in a libertarian direction.

    1. Lachowsky

      put up a flag depicting a Mexican having butt sex while smoking a joint. It should put the room together.

      1. Somalian Road Corporation

        Next to it I’ll put my framed pictures of Will Wilkinson, Nick Gillespie, ENB, Rico Suave, and the rest of the usual suspects.

    2. CPRM

      I fly an Autobot flag, “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings” The only time I will reference the Michael Bay abominations.

    I don’t know how many people will see this tonight, but I’m giving anyone left firsties on it. Prologue part II of the Harvey Weinstein and Ted Nugent Story. I’ll repost it sometime in the AM links.

    Prologue part II

    INT–TED’S BEDROOM–NIGHT

    TED is asleep in his giant elk shaped bed with his wife. Bows and guns adorn the walls the way ordinary people have pictures of family. Instead of a white noise machine ‘FRED BEAR’ plays on a quiet loop in the background. Ted’s phone buzzes with vibration, he sleepily grabs for it and silences. The buzzing continues. Ted sleepily answers the phone.

    TED
    What the fuck do you want?

    INSIDE MAN (ON PHONE)
    Have you seen the news?

    TED
    What fuckin news?

    INSIDE MAN
    Vegas.

    TED
    What about it? I don’t play there this year.

    INSIDE MAN
    The massacre.

    Ted sits up and turns on the 72” TV in his bedroom shaped like a zebra. He flips to CNN. Wolf Blitzer’s fat face fills the screen.

    WOLF (ON TV)
    We can only assume this right wing terrorist acted alone. But to complete the picture I will now bring in unbiased reporting from Tangerine Sky on the ground in Las Vegas.

    TANGARINE
    That’s right wolf, this obvious act of right wing terrorism has left 75 dead. The Republican gunman used automatic weapons to pick off victims like Donald Trump sexually assaults women, by the dozens.

    WOLF
    Tangerine, how do we know it was an automatic weapon?

    TANGERENE
    Well Wolf, an automatic weapon is any gun that fires bullets.

    WOLF
    That’s a good explanation.

    WOLF walks over to the interactive smart board in the CNN studio.

    WOLF
    As you can see here using our smart technology, a bullet fired from an automatic weapon instantly kills any person any where.

    Wolf swipes the board and a graphic shows exactly what he said. TED’S jaw drops as he watches the coverage.

    TED
    What the fuck?

    INSIDE MAN
    I know the whole story. I’ll be in touch with a plan.

    The inside man hangs up.

    TED
    What the fuck?

    FADE OUT.
