    …The Dude Abides.

    …See what happens when the rich don’t pay their fair share?

    …McDonald’s next exit. 238,900 miles.

    …This is the result of global warming.

  2. ROMEO
    By yonder blessed moon thread I swear
    That tops all silliness with fruitless tropes–

    JULIET
    O, swear not by the “Sign-on-the-moon” thread, the constant sign-on-the-moon thread,
    That monthly changes in our circle’s orb,
    Lest that thy glibness prove likewise variable.

    ROMEO
    What shall I swear by?

    JULIET
    Do not swear at all (on this forum);
    Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy ******* self,
    Which suits the mod for thy idiotry,
    And will relieve thee.

  3. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises
    Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices
    That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
    Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming,
    The clouds methought would open, and show riches
    Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
    I cried to dream again.

    • From Wikipedia:

      The Zzyzx Foundation series is a science fiction book series written by American author Isaac Asimov. For nearly thirty years, the series was a trilogy: Zzyzx Foundation, Zzyzx Foundation and Empire, and Second Zzyzx Foundation. It won the one-time Hugo Award for “Best All-Time Series” in 1966. Asimov began adding to the series in 1981, with two sequels: Zzyzx Foundation’s Edge, Zzyzx Foundation and Earth, and two prequels: Prelude to Zzyzx Foundation, Forward the Zzyzx Foundation. The additions made reference to events in Asimov’s Walrus and Empire series, indicating that they were also set in the same fictional universe.

  4. We better be careful here gentlemen. I Googled The Zzyzx Foundation and there really is such a thing. They’re based in California, a state completely overrun with lawsuit happy lawyers…if you get my drift?

    Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
    And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
    Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
    Rotate your tires.
    Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
    And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
    Know what to kiss, and when.
    Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
    Wherever possible, put people on hold.
    Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
    and despite the changing fortunes of time,
    There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

    You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    And whether you can hear it or not,
    The universe is laughing behind your back.

    Remember The Pueblo.
    Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
    Know yourself.
    If you need help, call the FBI.
    Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
    Especially with those persons closest to you –
    That lemon on your left, for instance.
    Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
    Would scarcely get your feet wet.
    Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
    Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
    And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
    Hire people with hooks.
    For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
    Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
    That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
    And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
    It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

    You are a fluke of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    And whether you can hear it or not,
    The universe is laughing behind your back.

    Therefore, make peace with your god,
    Whatever you perceive him to be – hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
    With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
    The world continues to deteriorate.
    Give up!

    • Wild guess — the filter is probably always on the lookout for the combination “my [that last name],” and either you had something close or else you didn’t, but it thought the “by” in “Gabby {that last name]” was a typo for “my.”

      OK, I’m probably wrong. And I can live with that.

    • Yep, I was wrong. Nice poem. Maybe the filter holds onto anything that says “call the FBI”? Or says “call 606-4311?” Or “make peace with your god”? I can see how experience might have taught website companies that such statements are worth a second look before posting.

      But if I have just gotten away with them, it’s not them, either. I like trying to solve puzzles.

  6. Coming soon – a giant sign on the moon. It will say…I was at my bank today; there was a short line.

    There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars.

    It was obvious she was very irritated ..

    She asked the teller, “Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?”

    The teller shrugged his shoulders and said,
    “Fluctuations.”

    The Asian lady says, “Fluc you white people too!”

  7. “All right, that’s enough.

    “I’m charging you both with willful violations of the Not In Front Of The Children Act.

    “The main charge — and this is the cruncher — is steering every bleeding thread toward a long list of criminals from Blazing Saddles, ending in Methodists.

    “It’s a fair cop.”

    • I’m laughing so hard I can’t even think of a reply…give me till tomarrow. Although I hope you’ll give me credid for getting that joke above your post past the guardian of the Bridge of Moderation.

  8. Moderator: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of IMAO must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

    zzyzx: Ask me the questions, Moderator. I am not afraid.

    Moerator: What… is your name?

    zzyzx: My name is zzyzx of Alaska.

    Moderator: What… is your quest?

    zzyzx: To seek the post that will not be moderated.

    Moderator: What… is your favourite colour?

    zzyzx: Blue.

    Moderator: Go on. Off you go.

    zzyzx: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

      • Well, obviously the moderation machine was chagrined at your changed login name.
        Perhaps it thought it came from the moon.
        Like some sort of star child in “2001.”
        A movie I liked.
        It is 50 years old this year. We still don’t have space stations with artificial gravity.
        Judging by the comments in news articles, an equal number of people liked and hated the film.
        That might be the mark of a great piece of art.

  9. Coming soon – a giant sign on the moon. It will say…

    O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
    O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
    O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

    On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
    In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    ‘Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
    A home and a country, should leave us no more?
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation.
    Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    • I hoist my glass of Glenlivet to that…and it’s all thanks to baskets of deplorable type people, and other malcontents such as the vast right wing conspiracy and of course white women who had to vote in the manner their husbands or sons told them to vote. She did however carry California and the muckadoo vote. At this point though…what difference does it make as long as she’s not in the oval office….ever.

  10. Alas gentlemen…you both have a valid point there…and sadly one I can’t argue with. However, there is nothing I can do to stop the misuse of my federal tax money, or to keep California from letting illegals vote. If I could…believe me, I damn sure would. It’s a FUBAR situation I find our nation in and I see no bright future ahead for my children and grand children. But hey!!! On the plus side, I have the last post on this thread…at least for the moment!

  11. Okay, okay I’ll come clean! It’s just a few craters away from the secret base established on the Moon by Nazis fleeing the end of World War II. It’s at 22 degrees; 42’38.46 N and 142 degrees; 34’44.52 E. Of course now that you’re privy to this info you’ll have to live the rest of your life as I do…one step ahead of the men in black…good luck.

    I’m drowning in a whiskey river,
    Bathing my mem’ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
    Feeling the amber current flowin’ from my mind.
    And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

  16. Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
    Removes the colours from our sight,
    Red is gray and yellow white,
    But we decide which is right.
    And which is an illusion?
    Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,
    Let insipid figures of light pass by,
    The mighty light of ten thousand suns,
    Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
    Night time, to some a brief interlude,
    To others the fear of solitude.
    Brave Helios wake up your steads,
    Bring the warmth the countryside needs.

  17. So…the Iranians have been making signs on the moon eh? Well I’m not an Iranian, and you’re not an Iranian, so that only leaves Oppo. After all, he’s the only one who hangs around here other than you and I. Therefor I suggest we send him to Gitmo…just incase.

        “Easy From Now On” – Emmylou Harris

        There he goes gone again
        Same old story’s gotta come to an end
        Lovin’ him was a one way street
        But I’m gettin’ off where the crossroads meet
        It’s a quarter moon in a ten cent town
        Time for me to lay my heartaches down
        Saturday night gonna make myself a name
        Take a month of sundays to try and explain

        It’s gonna be easy to fill
        The heart of a thirsty woman
        Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
        And I’ll be ridin’ high in a fandangled sky
        It’s gonna be easy; It’s gonna be easy from now on

        Raw as whip but clean as a bone
        Soft to touch when you take me home
        When the mornin’ comes and it’s time for me to leave
        Don’t worry ’bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve

        It’s gonna be easy to fill
        The heart of a thirsty woman
        Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
        And I’ll be ridin’ high in a fandangled sky
        It’s gonna be easy, It’s gonna be easy
        It’s gonna be easy from now on

  18. It is not the quotes. Damnit, I’m being persecuted for using a simple Japanese word denoting the person charged with finishing the Seppuko by cutting off the guy;s head! Is this America or some third world sh*thole?


  19. Kaishakunin it up, baby, now!
    Blacklist It Out
    C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, baby, now
    Come on excerpt it on out.

    Well, some words are out (some words are out)
    Although they looked so good (looked so good)
    You know they’ve gotta be goin’ now (gotta be goin’)
    Just like I knew “tit” would (like I new “tit” would)

    Kaishakunin, baby, now!
    Kaishakunin, baby, now!
    Kaishakunin, baby, now!

  20. “I’d like to get moderated, please.”
    [Gets hit on the head instead.]
    “Ow!”
    “Isn’t that what you came here for?”
    “No! I wanted to get moderated!”
    “Oh. That’s next door. This is getting-hit-on-the-head lessons.”

    “I’d like to know why I got moderated, please.”
    “I’ve told you once.”
    “No you didn’t.”
    “Yes I did.”
    “No you didn’t.”
    “Yes I did. But I sequestered it before you saw it.”
    “Yes, but I can’t see what you sequestered.”
    “Look, if you can’t see it, then it must be offensive. Good day.”
    “But I don’t know what the offending term is.”
    “I’m sorry, but I’m not allowed to use it. Good day.”

    • Hummmm, the person being moderated wants to know why he’s being moderated and the person being asked this question can’t provide the answer for fear of being moderated. Sounds like a classic catch 22 situation to me.


  21. Moderator, well could you help me place this post
    See, the bummer is this watchlist is old and faded
    It’s living in P.C.
    With its best old friend the attorney
    It’s a word they said they knew well and sometimes hated . . .

    But isn’t that the way they say IT goes
    Well let’s forget all that
    And give me the watchlist if you can find it
    So I can recall just not to say ’em anytime, and to show
    I’ve overcome the blow
    I’ve learned to take it well
    I only wish my words
    Could just convince myself
    That it just wasn’t real
    But that’s not the way it feels

    Moderator, well could you help me place this post

    • Filter: Sit down, Walrus. I think you know why you’re here, so I’ll do us the courtesy of not reviewing what happened yesterday.

      My blog is the kind that has a certain . . . zest for living. The last thing any of us needs now is a lot of loose talk about Kaishakunin.

      Walrus: I swear I didn’t tell anybody anything, sir.

      Filter: Good, good!

      You know, despite what happened, I’m still convinced that you have many fine qualities. I think you can still become a gentleman some day — if you understand and abide by the rules of decent society.

      There’s a lot of . . . well, badness, in the world today. I see it in cyberspace every day. I’ve sentenced posters younger than you to utter banning. I didn’t want to do it: I felt I owed it to them. The most important decision you can make right now is what you stand for: Goodness . . . or badness?

      Walrus: Now I know I’ve made some mistakes in the past. I’m willing to make up for that. I want to be good!

      Filter: Good! Very good! I know how hard it is for young people today and I want to help. Just ask sponsor Spaulding!! They and I are regular pals!

      Are you my pal – – – Mr. “High Praise!” Winner?

  22. An ode to the upcoming six-hundredth post

    The Charge of The Moonlight Brigade
    by Oppo, Lord Tennis Bum

    Affably, Affably,
    Affably onward,
    All in this valiant thread
    Wrote the six hundred.
    “Forward, the Moonlight Brigade!
    Charge for the puns!” he said:
    Into the folly of jest
    One wrote the six hundredth.

    “Forward, the Moonlight Brigade!”
    Was there a plan display’d?
    The original poster knew
    Someone had blunder’d:
    Theirs not to make reply,
    Theirs not to reason why,
    Theirs to outdo or die:
    And one of them, to the folly of jest,
    Wrote the six hundredth.

    Bannin’ to right of them,
    Bannin’ to left of them,
    Bannin’ in front of them
    Jolley’d and thunder’d;
    Storm’d at to stop a spell,
    Boldly they wrote and, well,
    Into the jaws of jest,
    One, into the mouth of Hell,
    Wrote the six hundredth.

  23. Okay this is my absolute last post pertaining to moderation. So help me… IMAO Orienteer: You post at 8:30 every morning, except you post at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it’s a Monday, then you post at 8 o’clock. Post late and they moderate you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they moderate you. Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they moderate you! Zzyzx! That is your IMAO handle. It will not be repeated! Without your IMAO handle you cannot post at IMAO. Inter-office mail is code 37, intra-office mail 37-3, outside mail is 3-37. Code it wrong and they moderate you! This has been your orientation. Is there anything you do not understand, is there anything you understand only partially? If you have not been fully oriented, you must file a complaint with personnel. File a faulty complaint….and they moderate you!

  24. Oh they’ll moderate you even if your post is good
    they’ll moderate you cause they think they should.
    They’ll moderate you for words that you choose
    they’ll moderate you and set off your fuse
    but you shouldn’t feel all frustrated,
    everybody must get moderated!

    • From “The Secret Word Is Groucho,” by Groucho Marx, 1976:

      There were still more changes in the offing. I’ve never liked the sound of sirens, and I didn’t like one blowing in my ear whenever someone said the secret word. We had to change that.

      Bernie Smith [codirector, effectively a producer]: “The duck was Groucho’s idea. He said, ‘We ought to have something come down. An elephant, or a pretty girl or a duck or something.’ I immediately said, ‘A duck is a funny animal. We’ll use a duck.’ ”

      When I told my brother Chico about the duck, he asked me, for the thousandth time, it seems, “Why a duck? Why a no-chicken?”

      Believe me, you have to get up early around Chico if you want to get out of bed.

      I fixed him with a steady stare. “Because.”

      Of course, then he understood.

  25. My gang initiation went well. I think. I got a beat in, later we talked about the subjectivity of morals, and I learned how to make a shank….and got a face tatoo. I think I could be the leader if I could just learn to speak Spanish.

    And asked for nothing in return
    Would you do the same for me as I would for you?

        Still sitting in the detention center.
        Got no papers to let them enter.
        On a trek from distance lands
        a suitcase, but no papers in hand.
        to get stopped had not been planned
        to skip their hearing would be grand.

        (Chorus)
        Honduras bound
        I wish they were
        Honduras bound.
        Honduras where from they tried escaping,
        Honduras where they should be staying,
        Honduras where I love for them to stay away from me.

        Every day’s an endless stream
        Of stupid covers of magazines.
        And each tweet looks the same to me,

        And every crying child I see

  34. Q: Do the actual explosions count? A: Of course the actual explosions count. What’s the use of having nuclear weapons if you don’t explode one once in a while? While the Moon seems like it would be an ideal place to have a nuclear explosion, I suggest a more practical target, such as North Korea, or any country you would care to name in the Middle East. We would miss the Moon whereas no one would miss Iran or Syria or Iraq or Turkey, or several others I could mention…after all none of those countries control the tide or have songs written about them or really matter that much.

  39. July 20 – National Moon Day
    National Day Calendar

    National Moon Day is observed annually on July 20 and commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969.

    In 1971, President Richard Nixon proclaimed National Moon Landing Day on July 20 to commemorate the anniversary of man’s first moon landing.

    North Korea takes swipe at Moon, urges return of restaurant workers
    Reuters | 20 Jul 2018 | Hyonhee Shin

    SEOUL – North Korea lambasted South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in on Friday for “needlessly kibitzing” about relations between Pyongyang and Washington and dismissed Moon’s pledge to take the driver’s seat on the Korean Peninsula as “sophistry”.

  44. Now somewhere in the backwater regions of IMAO
    There lived a young boy named Zzyzx, yeah
    And one day his mouth ran off to another guy
    Hit young Walrus in the pride
    Walrus didn’t like that
    He said, “I’m gonna get that boy.”
    So one day he posted on the moon and
    Found himself at High Noon with the local saloon crowd

    Post on the Moon
    Check in, come next June
    Only to find mods and libel
    Posters and trolls
    Equipped with their goals
    To beat out the posts of their rivals
    The rivals, it seems
    Had spoken of dreams
    Of sealing their place with advances
    The game was unending
    As long as they kept on sending —
    And each of them still took their chances.

    Now Walrus and Zzyzx, who tried to defy physics
    Were in the chat room feeling low-down
    Oppo burst in, and grinning a grin
    He said, “Hi there, boys, this is a showdown”
    But Moon Posters were tight, they took up the fight
    And Oppo collapsed in the coroner

    Now ol’ Cliff came in, stinking of gin
    And proceeded to hike up the tabulation
    He said, “Posters, you’ve met your match”
    And posters said, “Cliff, it’s only a batch
    And we’ll do better, we’ll be better, Doc, as soon as we are able”

    Now posts on the Moon
    Will continue soon
    Only outlasted by the Bible
    Oppo checked it out,

    Confused by the Moon Posts’ survival!!

    • Sorry for the double post.

      Been having computer issues today. Takes about an hour to load any IMAO page (no problem, though, with any other website at all).

      And it takes another hour to refresh a page after posting.

      Dueced inconvenient.

      Can’t wait until Monday, when I’ll be able to use another computer and see if it is just limited to this one!

  46. I’ve got a word or two
    To say about all these things from you two
    You’re posting, cracking wise
    And flouting good things we could have if we’d just close our eyes

    Do what you want to do
    Go on and post you two
    Drink to yourself
    And I’ll lift a glass to you

    I’ve left use far behind
    The moon is now full of the signs you had in mind
    And though it’s not the K
    I know your mind’s made up:
    You’re going to post more anyway

    Do what you want to do
    Until the posting’s through
    Drink to yourself
    And I’ll lift a glass to you

    Although you’re minds are piqued
    Try thinking less, if just for my own psyche
    The future still looks good
    And you’ve got time to make replies
    To all the things if you think you should

    Do what you want to do
    I know that you’re going to
    Drink to yourself
    And I’ll lift a glass to you

    Feelin’ nearly fated as my genes
    Walrus thumbed ol’ Oppo down, just before he mentioned,
    “Tuchus” all the way to New Orleans.

    Well, I took my Harpoon out
    Of a dirty red cabana
    And was blowin’ suds while Zzyzx sang the blues,
    With them Moon Nukers keeping count and
    Oppo clappin’ hands

    We sang every song
    Basil’s driver knew.

    Freedom’s just another word for nothing Frank could lose,
    No Moon ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free,
    Feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when Walrus sang the blues,
    And buddy, that was good enough for me,
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

    From the gold mines of Capitalism, to the California rant,
    IMAO shredded the secrets of my soul,
    Standin’ right beside me through everything I can’t,
    And every night it kept me from the cold, cold, cold.
    Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let it slip away,
    Still lookin’ for the home and I hope it finds it,
    Well I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
    Holder’s liberal body close to mine.

    Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

    • I spurned the truth at seventeen
      That “beauty queens” meant “beauty queens”
      And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
      Married young, and then acquired

      The valentines I never knew….

      The endless Gay Parades of youth
      Were spent on morbid useful tools
      At seventeen I learned the truth.

      And those of us in our safe spaces
      Liking antisocial places
      Desperately remained at home
      Inventive LARPers on the phone

      Who called to say “Come dance with me”
      And murmured vague obscenities
      At Republicans, alone, it seems
      At seventeen.

      And brown-eyed girls in hand-me-downs
      Whose name I never could pronounce
      Said, “Pity, please, the Antifas
      They only hate their Ma and Pas.”

      And rich-relationed Hollywood queens,
      Barely sold in magazines,
      And guaranteed to more Weinsteins
      Social fodder for the over-tweens

      Dismember those who win the game
      Bruise the love they sought to gain
      Indictments, inequality
      And dubious integrity

      Their small-town eyes will gape at you
      In dull surprise when payment’s due
      And exceeds the lurid accounts received
      By seventeen.

      To those of us who knew the pain
      Of Sarah Palin’s, Sanders’ names
      And those whose names were never called
      When choosing sides for free-for-all

      Long ago and far away
      The world was younger than today
      Even Dems believed we all were free
      And ugly ducklings tried to be

      We played the game and when we dared
      To cheat the voters at solitaire
      Invent collusion on the phone
      Repeat the other lies unknown

      Who called to say “Come dance with me”?
      And murmured vague obscenities
      At Republicans, alone, it seems
      Maybe it was Vogue, or Seventeen.

      Women Retain and Carry Living DNA From Every Man With Whom They’ve Had Sex
      May 2018

      Women retain and carry living DNA from every man with whom they have sexual intercourse, according to a new study by the University of Seattle and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

      The study, which discovered the startling information by accident, was originally trying to determine if women who have been pregnant with a son might be more predisposed to certain neurological diseases that occur more frequently in males.

      But as the scientists picked apart the female brain, the study began to veer wildly off course. As it turns out, the female brain is even more mysterious than we previously thought.

      The study found that female brains often harbor “male microchimerism“, or in other words, the presence of male DNA that originated from another individual, and are genetically distinct from the cells that make up the rest of the woman.

      According to the study: “63% of the females (37 of 59) tested harbored male microchimerism in the brain. Male microchimerism was present in multiple brain regions.”

      This has very important ramifications for women. Every male you absorb spermatazoa from becomes a living part of you for life. The women autopsied in this study were elderly. Some had been carrying the living male DNA inside them for well over 50 years.

      Sperm is alive. It is living cells. When it is injected into you it swims and swims until it crashes headlong into a wall, and then it attaches and burrows into your flesh. If it’s in your mouth it swims and climbs into your nasal passages, inner ear, and behind your eyes. Then it digs in. It enters your blood stream and collects in your brain and spine.

    • Interesting question, so I Googled it.

      Earth’s moon does have a name: In English, it’s “the moon.” The word moon is Proto-Germanic in origin, deriving from a similar-sounding word that came into use a few thousand years ago in Northern Europe.

      For most of human history, there didn’t need to be a more specific term to differentiate our moon from other moons that orbit other planets in the solar system, and for good reason: we didn’t know there were any other moons. “Until Galileo discovered that Jupiter had moons in 1610, people thought that the moon was the only moon that existed,” NASA’s lunar science website states.

      “After other moons were discovered,” the NASA site continues, “they were given different names so that people would not confuse them with each other. We call them moons because they orbit planets the same way that the moon orbits around Earth.”

      The four biggest of Jupiter’s 64 moons — the ones discovered by Galileo in 1610 — are named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

      In Latin, our satellite’s name is “Luna.” Because a significant chunk of English comes from Latin, many terms associated with the moon are related to this Latin name — for example, the adjective “lunar,” and the noun “lunatic,” an old-fashioned word for a mentally ill person. (Madness was thought to be correlated with the phases of the moon.)

      In Greek, our moon is named “Selene,” as is the moon goddess of ancient Greek mythology. The English word “selenology,” or the study of the moon’s geology, derives from it.

    • Shazinga….
      Shazinga is a drinking game. When a person has mastered the drinking game Flip Cup, this is a good next step. Every player stands/sits around a table with a face-up cup sitting on the edge of the table (like in Flip Cup). Each person is on his/her own team.

      The objective is to flip the face-up cup on top of a face-down cup sitting in front of it so that the face-down cup is inside the flipped cup. When a player does this, he/she yells “Shazinga!!” and each other player must clink their drinks together, say “I suck,” and take a drink.

      The player who made the cup leaves his/her cup on top of the cup it landed on and the the next round starts when any player says “Go!” This continues until a player has reached 5 cups. When this happens, that player puts a beer bottle underneath one cup and resumes the game with the same objective of trying to flip his/her cup on top of the cup on the beer bottle.

      The game ends when a player makes 5 cups onto the beer bottle or the other players makes 5 cups onto the beer bottle or the other players puke their guts up and/or pass out in a drunken near comatose stupor.

      • When Mark Antony asks the people of Rome to lend him their ears in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, he is employing the rhetorical device known as metonymy. Derived via Latin from Greek metonymia (from meta-, meaning “among,” with, or after, and onyma, meaning “name”), metonymy often appears in news articles and headlines, as when journalists use the term “crown” to refer to a king or queen. Another common example is the use of an author’s name to refer to works written by that person, as in “He is studying Hemingway.” Metonymy is closely related to synecdoche, which refers to the naming of a part of something to refer to the whole thing (or vice versa), as in “We hired extra hands to help us.

Let the “Whistle-blower” (Although technically she ain’t one.) testify! OK. And all this will show what? Nothing except that Joe Biden is guilty. Just like he and his boss are the true guilty party with the “Russian collusion” attempted Coup. I tell you I am deeepressed about that but this Impeachment stunt?

  112. You said, “I will enjoy watching the petard blow up and seeing who gets blown up with them.” Here’s my thoughts on that subject…Trump will be hurt, but so will Biden, because the left of his party hates him as much as they hate all the other so called “Democrat Moderates” and almost as much as they hate Trump. So their allies in the media will bring up Joe’s son and his activities almost as much as they’ll bring up Trump’s dealings with the Ukrainians. I think the winner in all this mess will be Elizabeth Warren. I think she will end up as the Democratic nominee. And she could win the election too depending on how much chaos there is within the Moderate Democrat and the Republican ranks when this mess is finally over. In other words…I don’t see a bright future ahead for the nation. Hope I’m wrong.

Basically you have a “Whistle-Blower” that heard some things from some anonymous sources that supposedly indicate that Trump did something possibly illegal. Was she personal witness to this? No? Will she reveal who provided her the information? No. WIll she reveal her connections to the Democrat party and Hillary Clinton? No. Will the media report her support prior to the release of this “Information” from left wing Anti-Trump groups and benefactors? No. Will the media call for the heads of the 3 senators who directly and publicly said they would work to cut off aid if Ukraine didn’t investigate Trump? No.

    I could go on but the only real way Trump is in any “Trouble” over this is the extent the MSM and the Liberals can bamboozle the public and have them accept this fantasy as rising to the level of an impeachable offense. While a possibility I would say that’s a low probability. If they want to waste some more months on fruitless “Investigations” to get “to the bottom of this” let them. The public in general doesn’t care. These people think the entire world thinks the same way they do inside the beltway and luckily they don’t.
