“A Facebook user recently commented that the Eagles had “played like they were wearing tutus!!!”
Our response:
“With all due respect to the Eagles, let’s take a minute to look at what our tutu wearing women have done this month:
By tomorrow afternoon, the ballerinas that wear tutus at Pennsylvania Ballet will have performed The Nutcracker 27 times in 21 days. Some of those women have performed the Snow scene and the Waltz of the Flowers without an understudy or second cast. No ‘second string’ to come in and spell them when they needed a break. When they have been sick they have come to the theater, put on make up and costume, smiled and performed. When they have felt an injury in the middle of a show there have been no injury timeouts. They have kept smiling, finished their job, bowed, left the stage, and then dealt with what hurts. Some of these tutu wearers have been tossed into a new position with only a moments notice. That’s like a cornerback being told at halftime that they’re going to play wide receiver for the second half, but they need to make sure that no one can tell they’ve never played wide receiver before. They have done all of this with such artistry and grace that audience after audience has clapped and cheered (no Boo Birds at the Academy) and the Philadelphia Inquirer has said this production looks “better than ever”.
So no, the Eagles have not played like they were wearing tutus. If they had, Chip Kelly would still be a head coach and we’d all be looking forward to the playoffs.“
Got away for about a week, dafuck happened with homestuck?
the first draft on condesces backstory from waaaaaayyyy way way pre peachy was released, got some backlash becuause of distasteful humor and then removed and given a formal apology
But the movie makes a big deal of saying he an incredibly smart eight year old. MENSA- levels of IQ. Some of those traps were ingenious.
One 911 phone call saying ‘Help me.’ All it would have taken for this whole mess to get sorted.
The police come in, take good care of Kevin till the family arrives. Arrest Harry and Marv.
But, no. Kevin chose the dark path of cruel sadism.
Kevin was a Sith
How can anyone both see the Home Alone series, and think gun control will reduce violence?

Let me just come back in defense of Kevin. If Kevin was so smart, he must have known that calling the police would cause his family to get in trouble for leaving him alone at the house. Given Kevin’s other actions in the movie, such as pretending that he was shopping for his mom who was in the car, it seems pretty evident that he took pains to keep adults, even responsible ones, from knowing that he was alone in the house. This shows a distrust of the establishment, and it’s possible that Kevin was even aware (as I was at the age of 8) of the general concept of a CPS investigation. By refusing to call the police, Kevin was acting selflessly to keep his family from being split further. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
A couple of bandits come to rob some poor eight-year-old’s home and you call him a sadist for taking direct action. If some mofos came and invaded the safety of MY domicile you bet your sweet ass I’d concoct the most brutal means of retaliation imaginable to ensure those bastards never set foot in another home ever again.
Broke: Kevin was a sadist
Woke: Kevin didn’t trust the establishment and didn’t want CPS to investigate his parents
Bespoke: Kevin had a God given right to defend his property
Here for all Kevin McAllister theories
Operation Kevin were premade attacks originally for his shitty family members
