Ah, vowels... Some don't know how the Great Plains were populated by European immigrants. There were companies which sent recruiters to various places to advertise the opportunities, and they were tailored to match regions. That's why a lot of Swedes and Norwegians wound up in Minnesota, etc. Accor...

I'm not so sure; Antarctica is still at the bottom of an ocean of air, it's hard to live there for the staff, and I wonder how much of the time would the sky be obscured by clouds? If we are going to go big, lets set up something on the Moon's Far Side. You still have to ship in stuff, but if given...

Good lord. Those urban Texas roads sound worse than Pennsylvania highways. And my entire family is accursed to the gods of vulcanized rubber. (Leading theory is that some ancestor told Charlie Goodyear a really bad joke.) Anyhow, in my native county in Northern Greater Appalachia, they do have four ...

Two tires? Wha'd you run over?

I didn't have any trouble with the site yesterday, but don't remember just when I was checking.

NOOOOOO


ALL THAT CHOCOLATE

WASTED

Noooo -- not wasted at all. They added Ice Cream and made Rocky Road!

Badum Kisssshhh....

Hey, think you scooped Dave on that one.

[quote="Sgt. Howard" post_id=92710 time=1544426621 user_id=126} … and... beyond my understanding... she is totally in love with me. No accounting for taste, I guess.... :) [/quote] I have learned the hard way that women who find me attractive tend to have bad judgment in other areas, as well. :mrgr...

Take a sphere, now take a scoop out of it, now stretch the whole thing vertically.

Aha! Thanks!

Never mind. I can see that we are on opposite sides of this and neither of us will convince the other. Current copyright, BTW, is creator's life plus seventy-five years. Trademark expires, but can be regularly renewed with no limitation. I do think one downside is that useful works of limited comme...

That is pretty damn cool. I'm not sure of the shape of the object from the images.

I've known bottle jacks that failed because they didn't hold pressure, but none that exploded. Limited experience, I guess. :mrgreen: Observationally, all the younger guys who work on cars in the streets around here use the little floor jacks. I used to raise the vehicle with whatever I could find t...

First Thanksgiving since both the parents are gone. My niece is on deployment in Iraq, and her husband was invited to spend the day with fellow firefighters. So my brother was here for four days. We selectively observed our father's traditions for the day. Deschuttes Black Butte porter--Check. Redbr...

So nice to see Jasper! We all know she's a good dog.

It's hard to explain to dogs that the access and accommodation laws in many jurisdictions are highly discriminatory against Canine-Americans.

I ran amok once. The paperwork was horrible, and don't get me started on the taxes...

Chico said he useta run amok duck for a da Chinese restaurant mob.

Save the Nauga! Collect the whole set! Everyone says "Save the Whales!" You ever try saving whales? Just one of them takes up the whole garage. Every damn cat within in a mile radius hangs out in the yard, too. It's a hell of a mess. :shock: But seriously, back when I was into whitewater canoeing, ...

Another thing to consider, is that if the person was never taught any better, they may not even realize that they smell... Back when I was working at a summer camp as the Horse Director (i.e. in charge of the barn and the horseback riding program), I worked with those horses all day, so that the sm...

With all of these events and people coming together in the pubs, it's clearly a Barmonic Convergence.

I thought Callahan's Place was out on Long Island somewhere. Is it moving in space now?

I got a robocall in Mandarin today. I work from home. Calls to my work number are redirected to my home landline, so I have to pick up during business hours. I get a lot of scam robocalls, of course, but this was interesting. There was music, and the message seemed to repeat. Sounded like a hold mes...

Of course, the USA is not a parliamentary democracy. It was a revolutionary democratic republic in the 18th century, but parliamentary democracy is a newer system that has some advantages over the US model. Voting for third parties generally doesn't work well in the US, though the major parties have...
