Since you can't visit here; Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsyltucky are pretty much the same as Durham.

Edward Snowden rolls around as a robot-self. Head with no legs indeed!

Zimbabwe set to implode like Venezuela. Which country goes down first? Any betting lines?

We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
For the old Kentucky home far away.

Stephen Foster was born on July 4th, so he was. Died aged 37.

Once upon a time change in Zimbabwe brought us this folk gem:

Moving on to the Sudan which had a civil war starting back when Jimmy Carter was president I think. Now there is a Sudan and a South Sudan. South Sudan is crumbling into chaos and violence, embroiled in a civil war of its own.

South Sudan unrest

What the hell is with that guy in the black cowboy hat?

Anyway: Venezuela, Zimbabwe, or South Sudan. Which one implodes first and/or best?

Too bad Marley didn't live long enough to see what Robert Mugabe, that Hero of the Revolution, did to the place.

Anyway, I vote Venezuela, 2nd for oil reserves after OPEC as a whole the way I read that chart.

It takes real talent to **** up a place w/ that much money in the ground, not like the other two, although at least Zimbabwe was doing OK before Mugabe screwed it up:

South Sudan is just plain hopeless and nobody gives a damn about it anyway. The Janjaweed killed w/ abandon and all that got was a shake of the head.

Heading out to the fake Irish pub early. They do have excellent Beer (it is a brew pub). The food, so far as I've explored it, is only mediocre. Hope to hit on something better on the menu today.

Sundays should always be spent in a pub or bar. That is what God intended - that is why Beer was invented.

Go Portugal!!

I went in another church.

There's loads of them in the City of London. Greed and God. No one else about, except an old couple of what must have been the Friends.

http://www.london-city-churches.org.uk/

They were banging about, apparently organizing some form of comfort for the destitute, but at least they kept their mouths shut. One of them offered me a cup of tea as I was leaving, which I declined. Churches are nice.

I want to start a thread in ATF requesting a custom under title for masque de Z (only if he agrees, though) and am looking for poll suggestions if he does. So far I've come up with:

'Wall of text!'
'tl:dr'
'Can't stop typing!'
'Must cover every contingency.'
'Goes through a keyboard a month.'

Other suggestions welcome, I think a poll fits 10 choices.

Congratulations to Portugal for winning the Wimbledon golf championship today. They served well and putted better, only driving one ball into the net.

What a great game, as mentioned by Pair the Board. Portugal won 1-0 in overtime against France on France's own ground. France was actually a better team overall as far as being faster, quicker to the ball on defense, and better passing. But it didn't matter. Portugal did play well and their goalie made some excellent saves. But God (or chance if you will) was on the side of Portugal and they came out on top.

Congratulations to Portugal. Great to see the French go down to ignominious defeat.

Plus Ronaldo got injured.

Speaking of The Blitz, how the heck can you be so incompetent at repeatedly bombing a city that a random church in said city suffered "damage to the dome."?

Another place that scofflaws from the UK aren't going to be permitted to visit: http://churchbrew.com/

They only approve under-titles if the person agrees to it.

Generally, I would advise against making such a thread. It would come across as being mean-hearted to some even though I am absolutely sure it isn't.

Hitler preferred trying to conquer Russia, I think.

If *I* made it, it would come across as mean-hearted. But I think someone with a history of positive interactions with him could make it come across as having a sense of endearment. Masque has fully embraced that as part of his posting persona. If he's willing, why not see where it goes?

Quantum Wordy Bird

Speaking of kicked balls. We, as in the kid, got a new soccer net.

I am sorry i dont follow what is the point of this thread?

Wall of text is a term i would never use for anyone even if they 10x my longest post ever.

tl dr only if it means talk dear lol because dear is the random reader as a friend always.

Cant stop typing is not correct. Time and other constraints stop it for me. I certainly know when i have to stop because something more important must happen. Even if it feels differently.

Must cover every contingency? No i cant do that usually. I would like but only in certain well defined spots this is possible. Plus one must always be aware of the possibility they dont see all cases even if they think so with some probability. I do behave though as if i try to do that indeed well aware its an approximation.

No i dont use a keyboard every month. I do however destroy many keys often due to higher frequency usage faster than others so i have multiple same brand keyboard for parts on what i use more often as main computer that cost around $10 each. I am not going for the expensive $50 etc ones. Especially since sometimes they get abused due to market fluctuation or something lol. Although i got better at it over the years.


If you created any thread about me i would get abused likely by the loving people in politics etc lol. There would be of course also some legitimate criticism too immersed in endless satire.

I dislike when people try to abuse others online and tilt them or troll etc. When you care to improve someone there are clear ways this can happen without the insults even if only for recognizing the one and only thing that matters, that this person actually cared in every long post for something that was not selfish at its core.

You are free to do whatever you like. Maybe add one more possibly also funny or serious option (goes both ways) like; he actually cares for the topic and the possible tangents... lol

I wanted to do it bec I really like you plus maybe you'd like a custom under title that seemed cute but, nm, it looks like some ppl won't understand.

Just make a thread about pming a mod. I don't even see under titles in tapatalk.

Moment of....

Why would ideas be any length?
Because ideas are just so wide and every height?

I appreciate that. Just want to invite you and anyone that wants to offer criticism on anything to PM me in any case anytime you feel like it. I do appreciate people that care and i do not post to get only good comments obviously. My posts are long and they deserve better editing for sure. I know that most dont read them anyway. I need to get more enticing at the beginning every time to keep people doubting their urge to stop reading lol. Good writers are able to force you to read their book in one evening sometimes. I am not one of them for sure.

Yeah. My read is that Bob's idea of revolution is still happening. Been happening. Funny listening to the type of people Bob mocks in his songs, footnotes in history. While he is one with a message still broadcast and loved around the world. Not bad for a dead guy.

I read the entirety of your posts, fwiw, including the unfathomable to me math, bec there are nuggets and I don't want to miss any, so thanks for taking the time.
