    @Aqua-Letifer said in A Nation In Decline: @Jolly said in A Nation In Decline: That's not quite the way he says it, but it's the standing joke. To be honest, I like regional accents and phrasing. I was driving home the other day, listening to a national news broadcast. The lady most definitely had a New Yawk accent. Thought it was refreshing... New Yawk accents are, categorically, obnoxious as fuck. They don't seem so bad if you live near Boston.

    Aluminum and steel mills shutting down is probably more important than the Hilton adding on two more maids and a bellman.

    How many people would have been familiar to the average attendee of a traveling circus back then?

    @brenda The froggies could have their own IG page, lol. They’d make friends. What I do like of IG are the pics & videos. And I’ve sure ‘met’ people with similar interests from all over this world. And gained new skills.

    @jon-nyc said in Are you a biologist?: I think the motivation is to promote epigenenetics so that group differences in outcomes can be blamed on historic oppression even generations after such oppression ceases. Basically an updated Lysenkoism. Seems to be the choice of the ideologues across time and geography.

    @George-K Yes I know that but I believe it was Gryphon who originally posted it years ago either in Webster’s Coffee Room or Fat Shirley’s. I do remember when was posted although I do not recall the commentary surrounding it.

    I think the actual number is about twice that of the official number.

    Years ago, we had a toddler who died after drinking Drano. Bad way to go.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Sentence delayed: @George-K said in Sentence delayed: Response of the night. That's essentially the participation award for POTD. It’s not an officially sanctioned award. But my mantle is filled with official POTYs anyway. As my buddy Lance Armstrong says, nobody can ever take those away.
