Being on the coast, our local paper often has articles on nautical issues, local fishing conditions, and the like.  One time there was an above-the-fold front page headline about a local sailor who was going to "Circumvent the Earth"Even I gave them some gas over that one. 

Years ago when I worked at IBM we had an internal network (virtual machine) on which there were forums, much like today's internet forums.  One forum, called "nitpick forum" was for people to post examples of official IBM writings that contained grammatical or usage errors.  The poster was supposed to post the example and then point out the required correction.  One rule for the forum, though, (NOT unwritten) was that the poster himself was expected to use perfect English in his post, and if he made a mistake, he became fair game.  I learned quite a lot there, actually.  To this day I try hard to write correctly, even in forum posting.  Sometimes a clunker gets through, but it's not through lack of effort.

I saw on one of those lists of gems discovered in student essays: “Magellan Circumcised the Earth with a 50-Foot Clipper.”

I'm sure he can afford the best of tax accountants and laywers.
I don’t think so. He hasn’t called me.

In related news, Fox News Sunday’s viewership has jumped 21% since Wallace left.

Choke on that, Wallace.

I know we are all successful people here, but if I was 74 years old and was going to be paid $8-$10 million, I would eat whatever shit sandwich the payor of that contract wants me to eat.

I’m sure his fear is that his career dies in obscurity at CNN, instead of how his dad retired.

I’m sure he already has millions. At 74 why does he need more? Just retire already and enjoy life. I think that type isn’t capable of relinquishing positions of power and influence. It’s the narcissistic need to control. Pelosi comes to mind as well as many others.

That did make me chuckle. Nice one Jim.

I just now checked and comedian Bill Saluga (aka Raymond J. Johnson Jr, aka Ray, aka Jay, aka ...) is presumably still alive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Saluga

Speaking for the south, y’all is most certainly plural.  All y’all is just more plural.

sadly, so many people don't have any clue that the election was a fraud.

Not that they don't have a clue, they don't care.

I like sports, and subscribe to Hulu live TV late August thru the end of March madness, then it gets turned off until the next college football season. Yes, Prime sucks more and more each day, but I still do enjoy some of the Amazon prime streaming music, there is a decent selection of free stuff for listening. At some point, not too far into the future I think, the ever eroding value proposition of Prime will result in a cancel.
Like Prime free 2 day shipping not necessarily being 2 day anymore.

Skydog asked the question and I answered it. I wasn’t being argumentative. It wasn’t politics. It was company policy in hiring and completely factual.

Somebody has a problem with the TRUTH being talked about.

I like to dress in women's clothing.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa

I'm the tail end of the boomers, and I'm 119 days out, only 20 days until I'm a double digit midget!

63 days until my husband retires.
