Is Lakynn really any worse than McKinli? Is this like a genetic thing? Or did one of her ancestors lose their soul in a cursed spelling bee?

Yup. I read one that said they had all the dope on Biden and other Democrats and the election fraud but instead of risking a civil war by arresting them and putting Trump back in office, they are allowing Biden and the Democrats to keep working but Trump is the actual president, and everything done will be under him.

I…

I do that too. Or if it’s winter I’ll put it in the garage for a few minutes.

The one Karen to rule them all?

I’d take a whack at it.

On the House floor, Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) blasted the metal detectors, calling them an “atrocity” and “appalling.”

“Moron Label” is all I ever see

All this confusion over Alamo TX / The Alamo seems to be obscuring the irony of using the Alamo as any kind of political backdrop because of, you know, what happened at the Alamo.

Can’t wait for the press conference from a random Alamo Rent A Car parking lot

Boy, guess we didn’t need to put a chip in the vaccine after all, did we?

While we’re on the topic of Ireland, I recommend the podcast Motherfoclóir, an English-languge podcast about the Irish language, and language in general.

I’m amazed by how strong the genetics are. I saw a photo of my great-great-grandmother who immigrated from Ireland in 1900 for the first time this summer, and DAMN - she looks like my dad in an old woman’s wig. 

Uhm his dad’s accent weirdly brought me to tears... it was the pride and Irish blubbering I loved!!!!!!! 

I think that “treason tourist” is the best description I’ve seen of these morons.

I took an intro-level astronomy class as an undergrad. One of the labs involved meeting at the Foucault pendulum on campus, where we were told to figure out the length of the pendulum. My classmates started timing the period and using a compass to calculate the length. I had been standing in the back near the…

It was. I’m always surprised by how many things I do against my instincts that turn out to be amazing. Compounding it all was knowing that this was a year of incredible good fortune for us. I pray I never become like the couple we met at a restaurant who complained about their hotel, the neighborhood, how busy things…

When I was a kid, don’t recall the exact year, (but I remember we were watching Solid Gold as the New Year’s show, so 80-82?) and we were at a party at our neighbors apt in our building.

Most of our NYEs are total duds. We don’t drink, and we’re both introverts, so we stay home and go to bed early. However. A couple of years ago we were in France for the holiday. We’d arrived in Paris and checked into our hotel. Mr E wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees and celebrate. I didn’t -…

Oh, shit! You’re the guy quoted! This is my brush with greatness.

You inspired me to look it up and it turns out there’s a shanty sing this weekend in Staten Island! (Plus that video absolutely rules.) http://www.noblemaritime.org/events/2018/9/16/sea-shanty-session
