I love history. And while this video is ten days out of date (he mentions the current date, which was a week and a half ago), it’s still fascinating to me, because I always loved learning about the planets from the time I first knew what a planet was.
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s Monday Night Open Thread.
What’s on your mind?
I have a question for all you scientists, chemistry teachers, and garage scientists out there.
What possible kitchen chemical reaction could have made Aunt Bea’s pickles smell and taste like kerosene?
I’d like some theories other than the MST3K theme song explanation.
She misheard “turn in brine” as “turpentine.”
She misread “use a lighter fluid.”
Or she’s flat-out trying to kill Andy and Opie.
I accept all those explanations as solid possibilities.
As for the third, Andy did manage to scare off at least two, possibly three of Aunt Bea’s suitors in the years before their world changed from black and white to color. That would establish motive.
Aunt Bea had anosmia.
The jar was originally used in Aunt Bea’s meth lab.
My Boss sent me to the clinic to be tested. I can’t wait to go back and rub this in his face. Cocaine: Positive, Heroin: Positive, Barbiturates: Positive, Opiates: Positive, Cannabis: Positive, COVID-19: Negative.
Hope YOU ain’t surprised. Stay crazy you nut.
I intend to stay as crazy as I can for as long as the the Good lord will let me.
Uh, to get back to the, uh, the warning that I’ve received you may take it with how many however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. Uh, it’s suggested that you do stay away from that, course it’s your own trip, so be my guest, but, uh, please be advised that there is a warning on that one ok?
The Democrats are holding the American worker and our economy hostage unless these demands (and more) are agreed to:
1) Increased fuel emission standards for airlines receiving funds and carbon offsets
2) Payment for up to $10,000 in student loans
3) Same-day voter registration, early voting, voting by mail, ballot harvesting
4) Preserving collective bargaining powers for unions
5) The expansion of wind and solar tax credits
6) Requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data
7) Post Office Bailout
8) Automatic extension of nonimmigrant visas.
9) Restricting colleges from providing information about citizenship status
10) Money for Planned Parenthood
Sounds like something you risk killing Americans for.
No problem…Democrats know, and are counting on, Americans being easily be replaced by shifting a significant portion of the population of Central America to the USA.
So they are able to make plans.
Oh yeah…they’re very at five year ones.
Good at five year plans that is.
I thought it might be Bad, or at least bad plans.
For your amusement, I’ll tell you briefly how my Monday went. Decided to mow the tall, weedy not-really lawn. It was extra tall as I hadn’t had gas for the mower for far too long(needed to borrow a truck to haul it, won’t put it in my car). It was very windy so I kept getting grass clipping blown all across me whenever I had to face the mower output upwind…no big deal. I made plenty of progress on it till I hit a dense patch. Taking the mower slowly through, I soon uncovered something. My next few seconds were my mind going through this process: “that a dead possum? No, it’s a weird dried plant. No, there’s more down here with fur…around a stick? The hell kind of animal has thick fur and almost no mass? And why is the top part bare….oh, I actually hit it…oh, the fur is everywhere. OMG THE FUR FLEW EVERYWHERE”. Yeah, I hit some sort of crispy critter with thick fur, and managed to spread its fur through the wind, right back all over me.
I’m not exactly a sissy around dead animals, but that was rather gross.
Should have stayed 6 feet away from your mower.
Got pelted.
The mower deck has a warning label: “Keep Feet Away.” But it doesn’t say how many.
From the video I learned that the French actually defeated someone in a war.
