You paying with Grants or Franklins?

Nobody wants this?

Back to -13!

The random kidney shaped fluctuations of a well ripened water ballon as it sails above an adequately maintained lawn and hits your progeny square in the sternum.

The all white student body wrote and sang their alma mater about watching the emancipated Texans? Seems like a huge reach to me even for 1903.

3 hr old 450 post thread out front.

I don’t know why I’m having to tell a bunch of people on this board this, but our fight song is NOT the Eyes of Texas. The Eyes of Texas is not our “fight song.”

A satirical song got flipped on its head and now means more to me than some racist Cowboy generations ago could possibly. imagine. I can get down with all the other demands, but the Eyes unites all of us win or lose. Seeing it go would be tough especially knowing that whatever it’s replaced with is going to be hot Steve Patterson-esque focus grouped garbage.

Yes to arms. Don’t know about any standoff or confrontation on trying to keep SPD out. “On the ground Thursday, the scene was a mix of demonstration and street fair, The Post reported. The John Brown Gun Club, which provides armed community defense during social justice events, was on site but with no weapons visible. One person, who was not a member of the club, was seen with a long gun; while Washington is an open-carry state, Durkan has banned weapons in the city since a May 30 emergency order.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/12/seattle-autonomous-zone-capitol-hill/ Oh no doubt brain is fully off and popcorns out watching this part of the 2020 simulation as I WFH. But at the risk of engaging you, the comparisons are there for all see. Group seizing public property. Group denouncing the authority of LEO. Group declaring first amendment protest. That PD precinct and streets and lawn they’re growing their vegetables in doesn’t belong exclusively to the CHAZians, just as federal grazing lands and the wildlife refuge didn’t belong exclusively to the Bundys. Are you not entertained? .gif

Random thought: If this escalates and more national folks comment, it’ll be real interesting to see the partisan comparison between Bundy/BLM occupation and BLM/CHAZ occupation. #bothsides #LAW AND ORDER! Both groups declared autonomy and denounced public authority. Both groups almost immediately asked for outside assistance.

This. And the rules on restaurants patrons and staff should be clear as day and have some science behind them. If the guy standing over the griddle has a bandana over his mouth but not his nose, what are we doing? If the unmasked patrons come in and breath all over each other huddled at the hostess stand before moving to their distanced tables outdoors, what are we doing? Crazy that we’re in June and opening up and don’t have best practices figured out.

Fell asleep half way through on the couch with an empty 3 finger gin on the coffee table. Hopefully, tonight is just as nice.

Stupid sip. I can DIY for $30 down at the tractor supply. Advantage aggy.

GameBoy: NES/BattleToads: I saw exactly one person beat the hover bike level. Remember exactly which neighbors were in the room and all of us losing our shit. He promptly died on the 3rd or so villain on the next level. Took turns for hours trying to repeat. Never saw it again.

Ha. Running vote tally: Dr Williams - III Other ball slicers and clampers -

That’s how I feel about that hypothetical calculatin' son of a gun Colombo. Did he do terrible things to both Natives and his first colonist, absolutely. But he did them under a 500 year old lens. We’re walking on a continent that was called Colombia by most of the world for at least a period of time. Our Capital District bears his name. Hispaniola wants to remove every trace of a monument, I get it. But colonization by brutal European forces was going to happen with or without Columbus. Death of thousands of indigenous people at the hands of European conquerors was going to happen in the 1500s with or without Columbus. He was just the first western European to make landfall and at that time that’s what gets recorded in the history books. Additionally, you can’t retract what he meant to generations of minority Spanish and Italian immigrants to the US. Remember the good with the bad. Sidebar - I assume renaming military bases is as easy as renaming schools. Aside from merging or separating parishes/counties a hundred years ago, have any municipalities or counties had a name change in the last few decades? I assume that’s going to generate a tremendous amount of legal paperwork in 2020.

Sonny & Cher didn’t need the “The”

Welp, as long as this is on the front page. #3 is safely here. Assuming there is a football season looking to ensure there isn’t a #4 opening weekend. RIP swimmers. Recs for Katy/SugarLand?

Post offices are required daily as of end of last year. Believe military installations were already required and any place the Sec of State is present. Effective November 7, 2019, an amendment to 36 U.S.C. § 902 requires Post Offices to fly the Prisoner of War (POW)-Missing In Action (MIA) flag on the same days that the United States flag is flown. Other govt buildings remain the normal 7/4, flag day, Memorial Day, etc.

Heard on the FM dial this morning that some management/industry group estimates 90% of independent venues will be closing permanently.

PM McNelly?

Bragg lost the West, so USA could be unified! #Winning Bigly. Hero.

There once was man named Cooper He quarantined NC. Super! The nice folks of Tallywhacker Said “Open her up. Pack her” But the Court threatened Troopers
