Bad enough that none of them survived it?

While this is a bit of crankiness, given the subject matter, I'm putting it here.
 
I had to drop off a package at the local post office, and I noticed a little stand on the sidewalk, with a big sign saying, "Defend Trump". I was going to ignore them, but as I was getting back into my car, one of them waved me over. Probably not his best idea. After I asked why are we defending a billionaire, his response was, "well, they're trying to take it away."
To which I responded, "Good. He deserves it." I then gave him a short rundown of how he stiffed a company I worked for ("I don't know the details of that"). So, then I explained to him about how Trump Tower was built using undocumented workers. I finished by saying that he is dangerous, should never be near the presidency again, and that he should be locked up. I then wished them a good day, and left. As I was getting back in my car, the gentleman I had been talking to looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
 
 
 

I know a guy that was working at a zoo trying to herd wallabies one evening when one of wallabies jumped up and head-butted him.  Eric ended up with a broken nose and two black eyes.  He might disagree about that killer instinct.  🙂

Late this day (Leap Day) in 1992, my wife proposed to me.
 
My response was to get up, go to my dresser drawer, and hand it to her: I had already bought the ring.
 
(In what women have always derided as a Dumb Guy Thing, I was waiting to ensure that I'd have funding -- i.e., a job -- for the next academic year.)

I don't think Reagan started showing signs of actual dementia until after his presidency. He was always rather clueless, though.
 
But as much as Republicans today invoke his name, if Ronnie was alive and active in politics now, they'd pillory him as a liberal.
 
All the greatest Republican presidents -- Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower -- would despise what the party has become. And Teddy would probably personally thrash Donald Trump, he had no tolerance for scoundrels.

Actually, there were two from,tonight's session.
 
In the brief battle,just before the moment above, when Red Cloak summoned his Spectral Guardian (SFX for Force Field; this spirt,movws to impose,himself,and,his shield,between,RC and,incomming attacks.  He is also the SFX of Missile Deflection (only useable when Spectral Guardian is active), as we are going,through the combat, me,detailing the precision and periodically,acrobatic maneuvers of the ghostly warrior, right down to him spinning around Red Cloak just in time to protect him from a blow to the back of the head yet still managing, as a gunshot rang out, to thrust his sword from,behind Red Cloak and,over his shoulder, spearing the buller with the tip of his ethereal blade and flicking it harmlessly away--
 
"Holy crap!   This guy is amazing!  But Mr. Duke, how the heck did this guy get killed?!  He's awesome!"
 
"Cancer.  He was a smoker."
 
 
 
 

Sounds like you know allele bit about genetics....

I think we can all agree that it is high time for Super Bowl halftime show featuring Weird Al Yankovic. Who's with me?

A toss up between...
 
"A beauty? She is one without peer. The Lady has had many statues erected in her honor."
"...among other things."
 
or
 
"What his armor will not deflect, I am sure his skull will."

It could have just asked us...

The hardest part about being a vegan is keeping it to yourself. 

Thanks, Hugh. 
 
 
how about that!  It took sixty-odd years, but I finally found a place where I'm the _subtle_ one!
 

 
 

Duke it’s not 2nd Ed. so of course you’re going to be disappointed! 😜

Another old fogy here, and Ball and Arnaz's company was the first thing I thought of, too.
 
In fact, given the median age of this community, I think that will come to mind a lot. 👴👵

This may be a generational thing, but to me Desilu is Desilu Productions, Lucille Ball & husband Desi Arnaz's TV production company.  For the sake of us old folks, you might add some bits that come in from that association.
