@Ivorythumper said in National Memorial to the Women Who Worked on the Home Front,: @Copper said in National Memorial to the Women Who Worked on the Home Front,: Viet Nam memorial It even has the V Maya Lin’s design was intentionally an inverted V for defeat, and a black scar on the earth, and creates a void rather than a sense of presence. It is a poetic place of healing — the mirror smooth black granite allows the families, friends, and surviving comrades to see themselves in the names of the fallen — and is quite a moving piece of architecture appropriate for the complex emotions of the war in Vietnam. That's my view on it. I personally find the finish on the granite the most meaningful feature of the design.

Oh, what the hell. Why not?

How many F15s did the selfie doofusses have?

@Ivorythumper haahaha!

Also, asking for a friend, are they auditioning?

Perhaps he was photoshopped into the first picture?

@LuFins-Dad said in Happy MLK Day!: I spent yesterday at Costco in DC filling in for my African American Salesperson so he could play at several events honoring Martin Luther King. I was demonstrating a Clavinova to an African American Family when a young African American Tween and his mother approached. The tween reached inside of the 5’ Yamaha grand piano, grabbed a damper and proceeded to attempt to pull it out. I told the young man that he wasn’t allowed to touch inside the piano. The mother then took the young man to the assistant manager and complained about the racist not allowing African Americans to touch and try the pianos. The assistant manager then proceeded to inform me that I must check my privilege while in the warehouse. I don’t believe I will take another roadshow to that particular warehouse. You should have gone back to the piano and started playing 'Ebony and Ivory'. Of course, you'd have had to clean up all the vomit afterwards.

Another one just washed up! [image: SPL5248174_003.jpg?ve=1&tl=1]

@Horace said in Gatekeeping: I know it’s a word that had a definition, but the iconoclastic usage is trending now with young adults. It seems to be. I was just curious if anybody else had noticed. I have. It's being applied more broadly to "people who disagree," presumably because the youngsters using it in this way haven't yet the job experience to understand its actual meaning.

@LuFins-Dad looks good!

@Mik Y eah, but imagine how Huntley feels, lol. Heck, imagine how the Ravens feel! Nah, never mind. Enjoy, Bengal Boy! Tonight is Bucs vs Cowboys, Cowboys predicted to win. Which they could. Anything can happen with the Bucs this season. EDIT: At 3:30P, just redd that Ryan Jensen, Brady-favored center, is "expected to" play tonight. This may alter the odds some.
