I don't think it's the second coming if Mussolini. It'll flame out, but not before the country shifts a bit to the right.

@George-K said in Fifty-four: @Jolly said in Fifty-four: https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/baywatch-star-donna-derrico-gold-bikini-too-old-keep-cool She's had some "enhancement" work done to be sure. Yeah. But then my house has had a lot of remodeling too but I still like it.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Mitt?: He'd make a much more convincing Star Trek character than that Stacey Abrams woman. Yeah, but what a tank!

@Jolly I get it. Y’all’s emotional truths are what they are.

@George-K You mistake me for someone who gives a fuck cares.

Sorry, Western 1. We currently have a small weather situation and we will have to place you in the stack for the next 30 minutes. Have a nice day.

Are those the Crown Jewels she's wearing, I wonder? Nah, never mind. What else would they be?

https://www.etymonline.com/word/assassin 1530s (in Anglo-Latin from mid-13c.), via medieval French and Italian Assissini, Assassini, from Arabic hashīshīn (12c.), an Arabic nickname, variously explained, for the Nizari Ismaili sect in the Middle East during the Crusades, plural of hashishiyy, from the source of hashish (q.v.). They were a fanatical Muslim sect in the mountains of Lebanon at the time of the Crusades, under leadership of the "Old Man of the Mountains" (which translates Arabic shaik-al-jibal, name applied to Hasan ibu-al-Sabbah). In Western European minds 12c.-13c. they had a reputation for murdering opposing leaders after intoxicating themselves by eating hashish, but there is no evidence that the medieval Ismailis used hashish. The plural suffix -in was mistaken in Europe for part of the word (compare Bedouin). Middle English had the word as hassais (mid-14c.), from Old French hassasis, assasis, which is from the Arabic word.

I have (cheap) spirits in our condo.

@George-K said in Painting the screen: @Jolly said in Painting the screen: About toddlers...They make firescreens that are one piece and lay flat. It can be a very simple job to place a clip or something that would snug them up and not allow a child to pull them off. Besides, as somebody who heats with wood, I can tell you that kids will shy away from a hot stove (you have to make sure they can't stumble into the front or side). Over the years, I don't think I've had but one of them burn a finger (just a touch burn, not bad) and after that, they avoided the stove like a cat avoids bath water. That's right. In our house we had a wood-burning fireplace (outside air fed) that put out about 70-80K BTU. It heated the entire downstairs, and with ceiling fans, it saved a lot on gas. In that house, I had heating bills >$500/month more times than I care to remember. The kids never touched it, other than to note that it was hot. Now, G2 stays respectfully away. Of course, that might also be because there's a cat lying in front of it. A very large cat?
