walruskkkch: Does Frank J post over at GAB.com as Franksalterego? Asking for a friend.

Basil
That’s Frank J.’s bot that has gone wild.


WR104
wr104: The NBA is the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. They just had the NBA championship game. The Golden Gate Warriors lost to a team from Canada. How is it that a team from Canada can even play in a game for OUR NATIONAL championship when they are not from the US?

Basil
Well, here’s the thing. While you know basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891 by James Naismith, what you may not know, or have forgotten, is that Naismith was Canadian. Sure, he had to leave Canadia to come to the U.S. to do something worthwhile, the game still has Canadian roots. And, most of the teams in the NBL and BBA (the forerunners of the NBA) were close to Canadia. And, one BBA team was actually in Canadia, the Toronto Huskies, who were so bad they went through four coaches in their only season. Toronto’s current team doesn’t suck as bad, it seems.


Francis
Francis: If I eliminate one mole from his tunnel, will another come and take his place? (Don’t have a magic sword or shape changing fairies to help me, so could really use some enlightenment on this matter.)

Basil
No explanation necessary. Your question is legit. And, while it may seem as if there are an infinite number of moles in the ground, the fact is there are only 6.02214076×1023 of the critters in the average yard. So, keep at it. You’ll eventually win this war of attrition.


Harvey
Harvey: What is Colin Mochrie’s greatest line?

Basil
“To be a dramatic writer takes hard work, talent, and discipline. And that’s why I just make up crap.”*


Bob B
Bob B: Is there any more beautiful sound than the Islamic call to prayer at sunrise?

Basil
The sound an AH-64 Apache makes is pretty awesome.
