I would be zero percent shocked if the lawn jockey ornaments and the threatening sign arrived after the black family.
In an episode of All in the Family, Archie Bunker is given a black lawn jockey as a gift. Mike (Rob Reiner) warns Archie not to put it out. Archie sees George Jefferson, his black neighbor, and says âI am putting this out front!â and Jefferson answers âThanks for reminding me, Archie, tonightâs garbage pick-up night.â
Itâs wild how in the 60âs the mainstream pop culture wasnât afraid to call out racist shit like lawn jockeys but today we would give Archie Bunker every benefit of the doubt.

70s. I watched some of All in the Family in its first run.
Archie was in some ways a sympathetic, likable Hillbilly Elegy-style oaf, but the message of the show was never that he shouldnât be challenged or that George Jefferson shouldnât aggressively call him out on his bullshit.
Too bad the writing sucked. It took another generation for a Hillbilly oaf dad on a show with a message to be funny.

Kind of sad how weâve fallen from George Jefferson to Apu. George would have clocked Homer upside the head.
George was a good character and had a lot in common with Archie and that was good. Lamont and Meathead were woke.
Donât get me wrong I think this is very cool but there is a lot of implication the pizza place is donating food to the homeless when in reality their customers are paying full price to have them give the pizza to the homeless.
I want to celebrate the customers of this pizza place more than anything.

âPizza chain serves pizza for price of pizzaâ isnât as catchy or clickbaity of a headline though.

Should probably change that to just âStuds And Spudsâ, Iâd rather the health thread shares an acronym with the Special Air Service than with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome?
The latter probably is more accurate though.

Theyâd have been late in the draft, but they would have been drafted.

Maybe your draft.
I know many of you guys live in places with actual weather but this went off really loud, woke me up from a sound sleep and scared the bajeesus out of me. Was cancelled ten mins later. Good going assholes. Its a hell of a storm though
It can get cold enough here in winter that it doesnât matter if you use C or F, theyâre both the same (-40).

What I use⌠Gmal, Wikipedia, twitter, YouTube, android & Chrome.
Occasionally I use reddit and Google maps⌠I prefer an atlas tbh as its easier for me to read and retain the info.
January & February for us Scots⌠And with the football winter break during those months itâs our dark days 
and worst weather conditions.
