    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            @George-K Talk about tension and release. I kept looking for the bar and when it finally came into view, I was like, NFW is he going to make that.

                        Etymology fun fact: The arteries in the neck are called "carotids," from the Greek word "karotides", relating to the word "katotikos" (to stupefy) and "karos" (deep sleep).

                        The ancient Greeks used it/knew that compression of the carotid arteries would produce unconsciousness.

                                      The Womenโ€™s Christian Temperance Union, to which we owe the failed experiment of prohibition, still exists. It claimed 5k members in 2012, down from 350k a century earlier.

                                      On the website it tells you how you join. You print out the temperance pledge, and mail it to Evanston IL along with $20.
