Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

Post by sweetandsour »

I sure didn't turn out like I expected, in that the score wasn't close. But afterward when I saw the stats for the Eagle defensive line, then I shouldn't have been surprised. And my square was one number off all night; all I needed was a zero to win $1000.

The worst band in the 70's-90's still played instruments. That, in itself, makes them better than most stuff today.

It isn't that I'm old, kids. Your music really does suck.
I am not as cool as JimVH. Nor or you. Well, unless you ARE JimVH.

I just sneezed like 37 times in a row.

And I only farted on one of them.

Not saying it's a good thing, but Russia, N Korea, China, Mexico, and Palestinians would do well to notice how much pent-up anger there is up in here and how little provocation it takes to let it loose.

Americans are a peaceful people.... but I wouldn't exactly call us "docile."

It's a sort of kick-ass kind of peacefulness.

I forecast that, when the weather warms up this spring, we'll see more counter-protests on university campus' in red states as conservative young people remember that they can push back against ideas they disagree with. Peacefully, I pray.

That is an interesting prediction. We'll have to keep an eye on this one.
....
Protests of this sort require some sort of incentive and leadership. We are learning this from the USAID audit.

BLM and Antifa protests fell silent after Biden was elected. They had served their purpose.

The white supremacist demonstration at Charlottesville and the Jan 6 riot were both curious.... they happened once, and there were no repeats. It appears that they were artificially staged by some shadow organizers -- and having served their shadowy purposes, their support disappeared.

Anyhow, that's the conspiracy theory.

So I predict there will be left-wing campus protests to oppose the Trump agenda. It worked before.

I think there will be two new things: Swift opposition by campus police, city police, and national guard to control violence and mayhem. And popular opposition by right-wing students who are enjoying the Trump reforms.

However -- Kristi Noem and Tulsi Gabbard well aware of the techniques used by shadowy instigators of internal mayhem. They may be watching social media and intercepting instigators before they start.

If all goes well, kids can enjoy college and be unmolested this spring.

This morning, I bought an electric lawn mower.
That is the only kind of lawn mower you can buy in California.
