People have been amazed by the splicing skill in this mash-up Tweet apparently pitting Samuel L. Jackson from “Pulp Fiction” with Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. It’s gotten 80,000 Likes!
There’s no CC so I have no idea what it deals with. I’d appreciate it if someone would provide just a thumbnail sketch of what it’s about.
To whomever did this fine video edit of Samuel L. Jackson absolutely destroying Brett Kavanaugh, thank you. pic.twitter.com/sL6jYrS1Xn

Came across an interesting “Dear Abby” letter in today’s paper. I can see why he’d be worried about sullying his reputation!
[ETA: Above inspired by similar one I saw at Democratic Underground]
And who knew Melania could be funny? (Yeah, I’m reprising it – because it still makes me chuckle.)
Sitting at the breakfast table in the upstairs living quarters of the White House, Melania tells Donald that she had a dream about him last night. And in her dream, Trump had finally gotten his huge military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue for which he has so long yearned.
She shares that it was spectacular: Military bands headed the procession that was celebrated by hundreds of thousands of cheering, flag-waving Americans lining both sides of the avenue and stretching as far as the eye could see. A crowd that was easily twice as large as Pres. Obama’s Inauguration.
“I bet I had a huge smile!” Trump exclaimed.
“I couldn’t tell,” Melania replied. “It was a closed casket.”

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Sorry, I can’t give you a thumbnail sketch of the Tweet as I’ve not seen it and you haven’t given any links to it, Nameless. So I’m just as ‘ignorant’ as you are.
Thanks for my other laughs, though. The fact that the paper published this Dear Abby was worth a big laugh in itself. Awesome, as we Aussies say.
Because I’m almost a day ahead of you, I get my chuckles on Monday morning. It’s a great start of the week, I can tell you.
WRT Samuel L. Jackson & Kavanaugh, you should be able to just click on that triangle in the blue circle to play the video.
Anyone else having a problem viewing the video in the Tweet?
SLJ: All I know, is that I like it.
Dear Abbey: Nah, they didn’t really publish that, did they? But, no I would not tell her, it could be a deal breaker.😉
Melania: I love it, though its been around for a while.
Nah – the article is from a Newspaper Generator site. There are a number of them, but I couldn’t find one that let’s you break your story into paragraphs. But some do let you insert a photo.
I used the Melania one back in April – but it still makes me chuckle!
This is pretty rough and ready and I don’t guarantee the punctuation or capitalization:
S Lemme take a wild guess here. You’re Brett, right?
B Correct
S I thought so
B I got into to yale law school
S Check out the big brain on brett!
B It’s the numbber one law school in the country
S You’re a smart motherf**ker, that’s right
B I have no connections there i got there by busting my tail
S Looks like me and vincent caught you boys at breakfast. sorry about that
b beer. I still like beer [wife eyeroll]
S Mm you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash it down?
B Sometimes I have too many beers
S [slurrrrp]
B But I do not drink beer to the point of blacking out
S [slurp]
B And i never sexually assaulted anyone
S Yes you did! Yes you did!
L Brett is warm friendly unassuming he’s the nicest person
S [to L] I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing
S [to B] Oh, I’m sorry, did I break your concentration?
Brett and Lindsay are from his confirmation hearing. I don’t know whicl movie SLJ’s lines are from, but it’s a perfect fit indeed.
Oh, and the Dear Abby is an updating of one that was done in the fifties or sixties (when Abby was still alive). It’s been shared widely through the decades, but I don’t think Abby’s column ever included it, Occasionally she would publish an obvious hoax, though, so she might have. (You have NO IDEA how many people tried to hoax her through the years!)
All priceless of course.*/-
Thanks for the transcription! Lindsey’s clammed up look at Jackson yelled at him was priceless – no matter what was said!
And SLJ’s lines are from “Pulp Fiction”
I had no idea the “Dear Abby” concept goes back a half-century! I did do a “ETA” to note the concept came from one I saw at Democratic Underground.
Abby used to blame hoax letters on “the boys at Yale,” IIRC, so your use of this one beside the clip is more appropriate than you knew.
Good transcribing job, Joanne.
Ive been awol, doing my grandma thing. Also have been going to PT for a leg/knee problem. That got fixed – at the expense of my back and hip. Aging sucks. I couldn’t even make it to the climate protests. But I did get a selfie with Elizabeth Warren last month in Seattle.
I’m not sure if Ukrainegate is the trigger for impeachment, but it sure has many more politicians squirming uncomfortably. And Jeremy Corbyn is in trouble in England. This should be a very interesting autumn.
Hoping your hernia problems are mild.
Thanks. Every time I look at it I see more typos, but it’s understandable, so I’m done.
You’re right – getting old is not for sissies. Sigh.
WOW! A selfie w/ Sen. Warren! I know she’s done over 50,000 now, but still – that’d be a keepsake for me if I got that lucky!
Woooo Hoooo! Any chance we could publish a copy of that pic?
Samuel L. Jackson questioning BK is hilarious.
Dear Abby ~ Yes ! Tell her. You have to know if she’s a “Deplorable” before you tie the knot.
Melanie ~ I definitely have a smile on my face today, just picturing it.
TC ~ You really routed my team yesterday. There’s no way I can catch you tonight. Congrats!
Like Nameless mentioned (above), this video is slap dab from ‘Pulp Fiction’, which was a great movie. I’ve watched it several times.
Dear Abby and Melania : Priceless!!
*Joanne: Thank you for transcribing…
*Debi G.: I’m jealous that you got a selfie w/Ms. Warren, good for you!
btw….in my humble opinion:
SLJ is so awesome! He makes cussing seem like it’s a necessary obligation to do so. (with any occurrence).
Thanks, Nameless for your post. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
This weekend was truly an SLJ weekend. Edmund Stone (another Portlandian), who does a weekly radio program on movie music, featured SLJ films exclusively in this week’s show (part of his series on moves of A-list actors.) It’ll be up till 2 pm PDT on October 5th (and the program makes for a pretty good background.)
LOL Nameless! He should NEVER tell his fiancee about that deplorable Uncle!
