I've been reading WWII history for over 50 years and I'm still amazed at the stories like this that continue to .surface. Great post.

Wait a minute - Seagulls are protected by UK laws? Seriously? A bit of research shows our cousins may have overstepped a bit on this one. And then there's this exception:

It is not illegal to destroy a nest, egg or bird if it can be shown that the act was the incidental result of a lawful operation which could not reasonably have been avoided.

Specific choice of cuisine aside; is it not lawful to eat McDonald's in public? Case dismissed.

For some of us, it's kinda hard to get past the fact that we already have nine planets. . . .

"Mask America Great Again" I'd wear that.

WTF? About a week ago I read this delightful little post with some great pictures in the linked article; smile and move on. It's "Top Commented" so let's check that out. . . We're linking drive-ins to Marxist terrorists? Neato's never been much for politics and I seriously think some people need to get outside and detox a bit.

And it's like the article said. The Empire Strikes Back played locally last weekend. I'd love to show the current generation how really fun it used to be - smuggling people in the trunk and all - but alas, pricing is now per car so that no longer works. . .

The Way Life Should Be.

For some reason, all I could think about after reading the egg debate was "Now tell me in which year did a Harvard scholar out-row an Oxford man at Henley?"

I know exactly what makes them a culinary delight. They are awesome when infused in tequila.

This incident set the stage for what was to become the Johnson County War. The U.S. Cavalry was called in to end it. The entire affair has been romanticized into one of the great fables of the West. Lots of westerns featuring range wars get their story lines from the events of the war. Shane is one of them

Not single mention of aspect ratio (16:9 vs. 4:3 vs. 3:2) along with the resulting additional manipulation when posted to social media.

I think there's high probability of a missing picture of yellow cake.

I spose...if it were 0145am and I was 21 I'd drink this. Yeah I would. Almost like the "Test Tube Baby" I grew up with.

There should be either a warning or a disclaimer (or both) attached to this post. . .

-chuckle- Interesting lists. As for the '10s - Except for one, I've never even heard of any of them. Sign of the times I guess. And that one? Haven't seen it yet - because I'm already on the low end with the rest of the audience. Guess I need to up it on the Netflix queue (assuming Disney has allowed it). . .
