Well, let's see. You have hundreds of young, healthy, fit people with big egos. They're by and large single and are going to mingle. To even attempt to discourage it is folly.

Yes! I selected Washington, DC 450 million years ago. Here's what I got: "Silurian Period. A mass extinction took place, wiping out nearly half of marine invertebrate species. The first land plants emerge, starting at the edge of the ocean. Plants evolve vascularity, the ability to transport water and nutrients through their tissues. Ocean life becomes larger and more complex, and some creatures venture out of reefs and onto land." And lo, they were called politicians.

The funniest part of the article is the guy is writing as though he's this storied old veteran of the music-buying public, but he bought his first music in 2001.

Smart man.

@jon-nyc said in The American Revolution - Oversimplified: Try the French Revolution too. Just finished the Napoleonic wars. Very well done.

The shootout launched Wild Bill’s fame as a gunman. He went on to have a short-lived career as a lawman in Kansas, befriended other renowned figures of the Wild West such as Calamity Jane and Buffalo Bill Cody, became a dime novel hero, married a circus proprietor, and continued his gambling career. Bill, you had me at "married a circus proprietor".

I feel like if I watched that, I'd be cheating on Remy.

@Aqua-Letifer ours turned 3 in May. We knew we had flights coming up (starting in March 2021) so we got her used to wearing a mask this past winter when went in the condo elevator or in stores. She did well, and she rocked hers (we got some really good/adjustable ones from crayola). Anyway, she ended up doing perfectly on the flights. That being said, we never have her wear one now (now that we’ve moved into a house) and she starts preschool in Sept. My wife and I said we won’t be sending her if they require masks. Not worth the trouble…

My dish was great. Even MFR loved it.

China is really trying to change the subject. I suspect there is a whole lot going on in the background we are not hearing about.

I can tell you it's not much different here in Cincinnati.

If I had aspirations to become a Twitter troll, that would absolutely be my handle.

@george-k said in Something jon would post: Classic dickpicnic. Sorry Horace, but I'm sure you'll agree this is funnier coming from George.
