Offsite Comments

Subjects in AoS comments weave serious discussions cheek-by-jowl with trivial pursuits. it's like laughing at something during a wake, and it's life.

I tend to be the kid in the back pews making fart noises during the sermon, but I do appreciate the community, spirit, and faith exhibited here amid the softcore porn links, locker-room jokes, and smart military whatever.

Much of the world sneers if you pause to say Grace at McD's. I appreciate the reminders.

Okay, surely that brought on the morning thread.

Congrats to Slapweasel for (probably inadvertently) grabbing the wicked numeral.

Did I ever mention the store clerk who refused to give me $6.66 change? Made a penny!

I put two perfectly good bus tokens in the collection plate less than two years ago. I demand a morning thread at whatever random time I rise!

My husband grew up in Andersonville. We used to go down there at Christmas time to the Swedish bakery, and also to get our Blodkorv.
I loved the Marzipan Torte, but could do without the blood sausage.

Fortunately, Mrs makes great Swedish pancakes and we can get lingonberry jelly, so, that's covered.

Pretty young blonds with flaming headgear, not as covered.

You make me miss going over to Ann Sathers in Andersonville for breakfast with the fam, this time of year especially.

Chicago... I miss our Chicago. Gone forever. Fortunately, so are we.

Madrid II - same series and magnitude as the one that reshaped the Mississippi River, could ruin all high-rises and infrastructure from Chicago to Houston. Last time rang churchbells in DC. Practically no reinforcement for quakes is done in the mid-continent. And there's (THEY say) a good chance of a repeat in the next 50-150 yrs, I read 35 years ago.

I read a detailed report on what would happen just to Chicago. Everything on the lakefront is built on sand, which long waves would liquifact (?). What was left standing would be uninhabitable.

The place to be is at the top of the Hancock. It was built on rolling caisons (sp?) with a flexible structure. Have a drink, watch it burn. Just get up there before the elevators shut down.

You only have time to read one article.

Your choices are

Woman Gets Ridiculously Drunk In Freezing Weather With Expected Results

and

Dog Helps Save Owner's Life

Which do you choose?

Tough, eh?

Feed the mind strengthening sustenance. Then other indulgences will be proporionally less affecting on the general psychic perspective.

Actual HuffPost update "CORRECTION: A previous version of this article referred incorrectly to Hawaii as an independent country"
Posted by: Kenya never looked so good

Happens to New Mexico all the time. And Hawaii is so very far away.

Hawaii: Separate country.
Israel: Not.

Ha! Good bit, Gran. Cannot be read without hearing it in that nasal sneering voice.

Wellllll, if you can't tell us a story, Mr I'm So Bummed, Jane will do.

Maybe it's just the photographer angle, but that pose looks uncomfortable to hold for a painting.

Bitter Clinger, I'm impressed the ASCII art came out so well!

Proportional fonts killed the ASCII art stars...

Pixy helps.
