If everyone in the world moved to Texas, the population density would be 30,153 people per square mile. This is 8% below the population density of Brooklyn, New York (32,606 people per square mile).

The other thing that would happen is everyone who made fun of the PAC for wanting to add SMU would feel really silly.

18,000 cows... Texas, for sure, holds the record for the largest BBQ.

I'm not young, but I am Mormon, and I'm part of the small uptick in Independents since 2016 (technically I'm a member of the United Utah Party). I may vote for certain Republicans in the general election (Utah is a closed primary state, which I have no problem with) but I see nothing in the current Republican or Democratic parties that make me want to officially affiliate with either of them.

"Freaky Friday" remake is 20 years old this year. Not gonna lie, I really liked that movie.

Both versions were great, but you have to overlook the fact that the parents did an absolutely horrific thing by separating siblings and keeping them in the dark about it.

I find Natasha Richardson very easy to forgive (RIP)

Man I really screwed this up. It's actually the Freaky Friday reboot that's 20 years old today. Hard to keep those Lohan Disney reboots straight.

But yeah, agree with Parent Trap also being great (both), and they were terrible parents.

Hate to have to break this to you guys, but the story - and the parents - are fictional. It didn't actually happen.

But don't worry, there are lots of real examples of terrible parents out there.

Yeah but those parents should have known better! One was a famous British fashion designer and the other owned a vineyard in Napa! If people of those social statures can't see the negative consequences of splitting up sisters I fear for real parents.

Maybe I am uncultured but I can't conceive that I will ever hear about a "One Man/Woman Play" and think "Wow, I really want to go see that!"

I would go see James Arrington do the Farley Family reunion again If I ever got the chance. I don't remember how long ago I saw it, but I loved it. He nailed a lot of Utah stereotypes really well.

We went to the Farley Family Reunion with our friends way back in the day. My wife and I laughed our heads off and our two friends didn't think it was funny. We decided they were way too uptight.
