    For a pilonidal cyst.

      I looked it up, saw more than I ever wanted to see.
      Didn't know such a thing existed, kinda weird actually.

      George, is this somewhat common, this pilonidal cyst thing?? Does one contract it somehow, or just wake up one morning, and. . .

        Yeah, it's pretty common. In our small place we probably saw about a dozen a year.

          Why the military honors?

          Why the flag?

          Was he a veteran, or is it because he was awarded that medal by President Trump?

            I figured that was it.

            So I tried to confirm that the Medal comes with that benefit or perk. I couldn't find it.

              Copper, how can a dead guy receive a benefit or perk?
              Never mind. I know what you meant.

              Wait. A perk would be "buy one, get one free!"

              A benefit would be "dug 6 feet for the price of 3!"

              I still know what you meant.

                This is what happens when you don't have a royal family.

                Still, not to worry, one of George III's descendants is busy having little American children as we speak. It's not too late.

                I was only joking

                    I wanted to hear one last broadcast by Rush. I found this, where he acquiesced to being interviewed by what is apparently the hottest morning radio show in the country, hosted by a group of African Americans.

                    Link to video

                    Rush was way more on board with the "racist white cops kill black people" narrative than I am.

                    The hosts of the radio show had two ideas, "white supremacy" and "systemic racism". (Pro tip: that's actually only one idea.) No solutions were offered, but the implication is that basically you can't vote republican. There's really nothing else. Maybe be a douche bag and go protest in a BLM circle jerk.

                    Education is extremely important.

                                Tel was way more popular in his own country, and his adopted country. Pretty much nobody disliked him. Not only did he have a radio show, he was also a massive TV star.

                                He was a radio God.

                                  After all, he is the greatest radio host of all time.

                                  Meh. He wasn't a patch on Terry Wogan.

                                  Wogan did pretty well. But...Rush was on over 600 stations and pulled over three times Wogan's audience.

                                  Tel was way more popular in his own country, and his adopted country. Pretty much nobody disliked him. Not only did he have a radio show, he was also a massive TV star.

                                  He was a radio God.

                                  Honestly, American radio is pretty shite. I know you won't agree, but it's true.

                                      The biggest media event of the year is our cherished Oprah having her stage polluted by a grotesque British ex royal with his disgusting trashy actress wife, and you’re complaining? How about less complaining and more apologizing. Oprah is better than that, leave her alone!

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        Another link that is fascinating, that I never knew existed.
                                        Thank's Jolly!
                                        A lot of those stations are examples of the ones I would listen to in the middle of the night while traveling. That was always part of the fun when driving all night to get somewhere.

                                        I mean, where else are you going to hear legitimate discussions about aliens from Mars invading? And when in the hell are the Mexican stations going to drop that insidious accordion music?
