    @Mik said in RIP Eddie Van Halen: @Larry said in RIP Eddie Van Halen: I just read this bit of trivia: Before Eddie Van Halen became famous, he worked as a piano and organ delivery man for a music store in his hometown. Meh. Mostly slab ranch houses. We had to take uprights and grands up and down circular staircases. For some reason, Laurel and Hardy spring to mind.

    @Copper said in "The voters don't deserve to know.": Yes, and a democratic would never do that. That wasn't my point. The point was to make the joke a bit more subtle. However, I guess they needed something those a little slower on the uptake could figure out.

    How bad does the music you listen to and the sport you follow have to be before you'd go to a political rally instead of a concert and/or game? I'd rather listen to Enrico Palazzo than either Biden or Trump.

    @taiwan_girl said in UFOs: Very strange. Now I am curious as to why it would be held in secret for so long. I actually think that there are other civilizations it there, but I am not so sure about UFO’s. It is very unusual (at least for humans) For a more advanced society just be an onlooker to less advanced civilizations. That is why I am not so sure an advanced UFO society would leave us alone. Prime Directive, baby!

    That was kind of where I was going, yeah. Any time you have an invasive procedure there is a risk of infection.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Kincaid bait: @George-K said in Kincaid bait: There are lots and lots of videos out there with inexperienced, inept, stupid drivers wrecking their supercars because of inability to handle them. In England, they are rewarded with multi-million dollar Amazon TV contracts. Actually, The Hamster can probably drive better than most.

    @jon-nyc said in The pursuit of perfection: Oh yes, pursuit. Maybe a video of Klaus chasing me while holding a Rachmaninoff score. To mis-quote Oscar Wilde, the unspeakable in pursuit of the unplayable?

    They can eschew lockdowns all they want, but the genie is out of the bottle. Folks are not going to go out and travel as normal until this is whipped.

    They bought it. I think they might still live there. Steve did a 2 year post doc at UW, I just found a video from 1992 where there is a tour with the person who the house must have been built for (Mrs Jacobs?) We were there from 89 - 91. Pretty sure that sculpture in your photo is by an Wisconsin artist named Ellis Nelson. We all drove by the guys place on one of our weekend trips, they bought that one, and we bought several (that we’ve since hauled all over the country!). I seem to remember that the house was pretty well hidden (so not easy to find unless you knew what you were looking for.

    @taiwan_girl said in Unprofessionalism at the Trump White House: it is very poor to send out official things from the government with mis spellings, etc. Perhaps, if they had a corpse of people to deal with such things, LOL.
