@jon-nyc said in Howdy, ma'am...: Like the secret service will let some rando on the plane. Upon further thought, you have a point. The Secret Service only lets randos approach Trump. Bonus points if the rando does BYOR (Bring Your Own Rifle)...

Go fer it. You could be RICH!

Beating off your phalloplasty? Not like it’s leading anywhere.

@Copper said in An Outer Banks hurricane: We might have the OBX 4x4 beach all to ourselves, heavy rain, not much wind, 8 people under a tent. The rain extinguished the grill, but we had our burgers and dogs Nice! Lucas said they are just getting bands of rain right now.

@Copper said in Peak Harris?: Mr Trump peaks every day And his followers and fan base are collectively known as Peaky Trumpers.

@Axtremus said in "Horses might kick or bite": I doubt you will obtain anything as relevant, logical, and succinct. Your pickup line needs work.

Let us hope it’s as ineffectual as the last one, Bach.

Hey! If it's good enough for Mohammed...

Really all it means is she’ll go the way of Cynthia McKinney. Look for a David Duke endorsement soon.

@Jolly said in Navarro Is Right: Bull-headed, but not stupid. When the outcome is the same, it won’t matter whether it’s bull-headedness or stupidity that led to the outcome.

@Renauda said in A Standing Army: @Doctor-Phibes said in A Standing Army: Also, just to put things in perspective I’m in the UK this week. No sign of any problems at all around here on the mean streets of Herefordshire Of course, the very seat of the House of York. Wigmore Castle was the home of Richard Plantagenet, third Duke of York. As usual it’s those flaming Lancastrian lands in the north causing all the upheaval. Damn troublemakers. The police are gearing up for another round this evening. I get the feeling government patience is running out.

Thank you for admitting you aren't entirely sure of what you're talking about.

The chariot came about because of the size of the average horse. The horses of the time were similar in size to Welsh ponies. The first fighting vehicles were four wheeled carts with four side rails. Hard to turn, hard to clamber out of the box and heavy. Then came the chariot. Three-sided box on two wheels. Two horses, much faster, much easier to turn. The chariot morphed into a more rounded (but not round) front with side panels that sloped down in the back, making dismounting and remounting much easier. The Battle of Kadesh was the largest chariot battle... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kadesh The Egyptians and the Hittites used their chariots a bit differently. Egyptians had a driver and an archer. There was a quiver on every corner and the archer would work around the driver, to get his best shots. The Hittites used a little heavier chariot, with a driver and an armored spearman. Sometimes, they'd add a third man to the chariot, armed with a sword. Once calvary came about, goodbye chariots...

@Wim More like it. All things considered, the Russian rail system is working quite well. Someone I know travelled on it last September and said that was very pleasant and relaxing. Much better than in the Yeltsin or Soviet times.
