Purity of Ice?

The Romans lost at last 40,000, possibly as many as 75,000, killed at Cannae in a single day. Of course, they had the advantage of outnumbering their foe.

Sergei Bondarchuk’s War and Peace had some 12,000 actual soldiers for its battle scenes...

Pence is out there making the bizarre claim that the 14th Amendment has never been “tested” by the Supreme Court, which I believe is not in the court’s purview. The look on his face clearly says that even he knows his mouth is more full of trumpshit than usual.

I think -- no certainty -- that Flash is still under King Features copyright, though Buck may have fallen into public domain.

Nobody ever said “Buck” better than Mel Blanc!

Only the married ones? :)

“Now, son, you wash off that gavel when you’re done with it. With antibacterial soap. Lots of antibacterial soap!” — The Speaker

Be interesting if they could shoehorn Buck Rogers into the story, make it a buddy movie in spaceships. Those two are naturals, but only rarely meet.

It’s a little-known fact that aliens love swing music. Perhaps they were sucking up to their new Martian overlords...

If your mommy lets you back on the internet tomorrow, I do hope your second day goes better than the first.

“There was no panic.” — The Shadow.

Yeah, he was having a strawberry phosphate with Lana Turner in Schwab’s Drugstore when the Wilpons dashed in and announced, “YOU! You’re just what we’ve been looking for! We’re gonna make you a General Manager®!”

He promises to do those things because he won’t be a GM if he doesn’t.

This might work — drawing to an inside straight does sometimes work, too — but I really get the feeling that he got the job because he promised to field a technically competitive team (playing for .500 and occasionally in sight of the second wild card) while cutting team payroll and slicing non-necessities like…

What Trump & his obedient Republicans are really trying for is a two-tier citizenship: one level where you’re allowed to live here and scrub the floors and pay taxes and pay taxes and pay taxes, and the second level where you permit others to live here and vote and pay no taxes.

I charge $650 per hour to do people’s homework for them. Two hour minimum, payable in advance, no refunds, no guarantee. And since you didn’t pick up that I didn’t say “true conservative authors,” and since you can’t compose a proper sentence in English, I’m guessing that you can’t afford me.

They’re probably not, since most of the ones I’m aware of are political essayists and not science fiction and fantasy writers who would contribute to a work like this.

There are nearly as many true conservatives as true liberals who oppose Trump and all he stands for.

Ordered. Done and done.
