I got a tour as part of a j-school program of the nebraska state pen and one of the first things they showed us, in this little room off of the admin office’s main front desk, was the electric chair. old sparky. right then and there my brain immediately went “oh this is wrong, this is evil”

going to see MICHAEL CLAYTON tonight in the theater :)
It's the Michael Clayton logo, but it says Michael Clayton mentioned and every character is made to look smiling when none of these characters ever smiled like this in the movie. Also there is a horse.

“So there I was, tied to the radiator, and I says to myself, 'Jason, you need to think your way out of this one.' But then the fellas who broke in, they took a shine to my shoes. Brand new they were. Good leather. They says to me, 'We’re taking the shoes, Jason.' And I says to them, I says,”
