    Give her another ten or fifteen years and it'll be pronounced O—bee—city.
  2. Cary Grant (January 18, 1904 — November 29, 1986) and Ralph Bellamy (June 17, 1904 — November 29, 1991). From the film His Girl Friday, one of the best screwball comedies. Walter Burns (Grant) ad libs his line as he tries to describe Bruce Baldwin (Bellamy): "He looks like that fellow in the movies ... you know ... Ralph Bellamy!"
  3. Have you guys read The Winter Of Our Discontent ?
  4. This reminds me of a funny joke. Three missionaries are captured by natives. The chief gives them a choice. Death or ooga-booga. The first missionary thinks to himself that he is a young man and has his whole life in front of him to serve the lord. He chooses ooga-booga. "Ooga-booga!" And five natives buttfuck him. The second missionary is shocked but reasons he is middle aged and still has many years to serve the lord. He chooses ogga-booga. "Ooga-booga!" And twenty natives buttfuck him. The third missionary said, "I am old and have spent my life performing the lord's work. I choose death." "Death by ooga-booga!" #noracist
  5. Russell's ninth bust in nine months. Put her shirt on backwards.
  6. My father and I watched The Heidi Bowl. Oakland scored two touchdowns in the final minute to win the game. Never got to see it. The Dalai Lama is a Badger fan. I wish he'd do something about their football team.
  7. That might be the way it works in the USA but you're wrong about English law. In fact, Prince Charles was so moved by Lawes' generosity, he influenced a change regarding finding artifacts in which the landowner is legally entitled to a share. Yep. And Fort Lee, originally Fort Constitution on the opposite side of the Hudson River, was renamed after General Charles Lee in September 1776.
  8. 1992. Eric Lawes finds a Roman treasure chest while metal detecting to find a lost hammer. Because he was a nice guy, Lawes splits his share of the £1.75m reward 50 - 50 with the farmer on whose land he found it.
  9. It seems most Surly Horns feel the same way. No donations. https://www.gofundme.com/a-box-of-crayons-for-elfenix
  10. William Holden's death sparks public demand for helmets for alcoholics.
  11. Pocky Day in Japan. Pepero Day in South Korea. Singles' Day in China. Which has evolved into the biggest shopping day of the year. Much bigger than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.

  13. November 7 — 10. Great Lakes Storm of 1913. An extratropical cyclone (blizzard with hurricane-force winds and thirty-five foot waves) called a "November gale". More than 250 killed, nineteen boats destroyed, nineteen boats stranded. Not all of the boats were freighters. On the lakes, a ship which sails on the freshwater seas called a boat. Ocean-going ships can enter the lakes via the St Lawrence Seaway. Boats are larger than ships and cannot fit through the locks to get to the ocean. A lesser but same type of storm sank the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975 .... ELIZABETH AND EDMUND FITZGERALD ONBOARD THE SS EDMUND FITZGERALD. MILWAUKEE JOURNAL. .... and the E M Ford sank at her berth in the Port of Milwaukee on Christmas Eve 1979. The Ford was refloated and towed to Manitowoc, Wisconsin shipyards for repair. Christened SS Presque Isle on May 25, 1898. Rechristened E M Ford, 1956. Delivered to shipyard for dismantling, November 13, 2008.
  14. The First Game by Arnold Friberg. See the guy wearing the stovepipe hat at the top of the picture to the left? A Rutgers professor who shouted "You will come to no Christian end!" and shook his umbrella at the players.
  15. First she's a trainwreck and I agree she's a dirty girl and now you are having trouble embedding an incredulous clip. WTF. Make up your mind. Personally, to me her facial tattoos are a dead giveaway.
  16. 156 mph. No turbo although I am considering recoding and a supercharger. Racing fuel not readily available. I have to drive quite a distance to buy non-ethanol 93 octane. My winter / utility truck gets better mileage. A modern governor also effects shifting patterns. Which is why the world version - although identical mechanically to the American - is preferred. No big deal but I'd have to send for a reprogramming kit which plugs into the dashboard port. I am using my car as an example. Winter tires? I replaced the run-flats on my car. The suspension is rigid as hell. Streets are rough enough; I could feel every tar seam and pebble in the road. It's strange. The faster I go, the smoother the ride. Once I'm past 130 with the top down everything is pretty much just a sensation anyways. Went with Y rated tires in a summer compound. In my climate, she spends late September through early June in a heated warehouse. The tires aren't even supposed to be stored under 35° F much less driven. I used to go to the airport for high octane leaded gasoline for my Firebirds. When I took them in for vehicle emissions, there were rollers built into the floor of the examining station and a flexible tube was put on the exhaust pipe. The examiner would sit in the car and put it through its paces. Nowadays those testing stations are closed. I go to one of those quick change oils places to be tested. If I still owned the Firebird (1967), how would it be tested?
  17. In the market for a bride? You're probably better off in Lulz or Football. Little dirty girl.
  18. Governors. You can use the wrong grade of gasoline if the engine is limited. My premium fuel car is allegedly capable of 196mph but by electronic governor limited to 156mph. Other guys on the car forum with recoded chips report top speeds of 178 on the American version and slightly higher on the world version. Why would anyone want to do that? Go ahead. Take your minivan to the track. No one's stopping you.
  19. 1928. Organized crime leader and gambler Arnold Rothstein dies in Manhattan hospital two days after being shot. Unclear if motivated by Rothstein not paying poker debt incurred during a marathon game in October (roughly $4.7M in 2018 dollars) or as retaliation by Dutch Schultz for the killing of Joey Noel by Rothstein associate Jack "Legs" Diamond. Even though he was dying, he refused to cooperate with the shooting investigation. Rothstein testified before a Chicago grand jury but not indicted for the Black Sox Scandal. My interest in Rothstein began with F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Jay Gatsby takes Nick Carraway to lunch and introduces Meyer Wolfsheim as the gambler who fixed the 1919 World Series. A clear allusion to Rothstein. What are Gatsby's ties to Wolfsheim? Is Gatsby's fortune based on bootlegging liquor?
  20. She seems kind of slutty. In a good way. https://www.facebook.com/dop3yhop3y
  21. Well ... there's the part about murdering hundreds of innocent people and Guy Fawkes being sentenced to hanged, drawn, and quartered. In a last minute attempt to escape, he jumped from the steps to the gallows and broke his neck. That didn't stop them from chopping off his head and parading it around on the end of a pike and displaying in on London Bridge. Party on!
