Jim Thorpe broke the rule. Pete Rose broke the rule. They both knew the rules. Enforce them. What is the point of pretending now, years after the fact? The history is written and fairly recorded, let it be.

@Mik said in Bent Wood: @Jolly said in Bent Wood: @Mik said in Bent Wood: Looks like a scale of some sort. And...If you were raised in the South... Weighs cotton. Correct. I'm missing one of the peas to my great-grandpa's cotton scales (he was a VERY SMALL scale cotton farmer). We used it when slaughtering hogs and cattle.

@George-K said in The worst albums on record: Well, that post went sideways in a hurry.... Right? WTF. I did get this, though. Should make @Mik and @mark happy. [image: 1658078844145-aaa2206d-aba2-41d6-a3e8-79ae0b79b2bd.jpeg]

@taiwan_girl Thank you!

I think a lot of the companies that do this set up their company outside the US, so I am not sure well they will be cracked down on.

If nothing else, conspiracy theories like that serve as proof that that tribe is scared of this economy.

No one noticed the Chivas in the background?

We'll see on Tuesday.

Yeah, we went to Pier 39 one time too. Navy Pier is better and it's not much.

Where was this? Did you take the picture?

@Axtremus said in Dear Democrats: I am not a taco: @George-K said in Dear Democrats: I am not a taco: Could be worse. She could be a macaca. She, the author, is: “Danielle Alvarez is the Republican National Committee’s communications director.” That was clearly disclosed at the end of the article. So don’t go thinking you’re reading the opinion of a non-partisan, concerned, private citizen. You’re reading a piece of partisan messaging from the Republican National Committee published under the name of the RNC’s communications director. Unlike the stuff you post on a daily basis.

@Mik said in I haven't decided, yet...: One on left seems to be doing pretty well. Deceptive. I don't know if the female lead is her (looks a little like her) but she ain't in them clothes (or lack thereof). The Rock ain't in this one and neither is the guy on the right. Ron Perlman, Jason Statham, Burt Reynolds, John Rhys-Davies, are.

@Doctor-Phibes said in How Germany is it?: @Klaus said in How Germany is it?: @Doctor-Phibes said in How Germany is it?: @Klaus said in How Germany is it?: @Horace said in How Germany is it?: you count how many world wars it's instigated. Whether we instigated WW1 is debatable. Moltke freaking planned it in 1905! https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26048324 Almost all of them pin some of the blame on Germany. I actually agree that it was complicated, and probably doesn’t really matter at this point. I agree that Germany certainly deserves a large part of the blame, but the whom-to-blame situation is not nearly as clear as in WW2. Several nations were eager to go to war at the time...

No wonder Santa kept so many of them. Very sweet.

And a big vegetable garden.
