Well played Tahlvin! Weeks of posting to set up this Rickroll.

Stan

That's exactly the kind of thing a 7 would say.

This would be an option, though it's mainly a picture book. By Jon Bermuda Schwartz.

Stan

I'm so sorry.

I bet there's going to be an agoraphobia epidemic this year - it's already happening but it's hidden by restrictions. I bet there will be a percentage of kids who permanently homeschool or online school after this. My younger one was already homeschooling anyway and the other is in college so it doe...

Stan

I don't have dogs anymore but I feel ya. Both of my kids have used Covid lockdown as an excuse to achieve almost total agoraphobia. I spend a chunk of my day acquiring supplies and taking people to appointments. Then I have to do much of my work in the evening when everyone else wants to be loud. So...

spaces can matter huge battle aftermath vs huge battle after math.

Is he still talking about Scarlet Witch or someone else he knows?

Stan

Grim predictions but all too likely.

Stan

Funko figures must be popular but I find them and their square heads ugly.

Stan

We totally missed the Mr. Potato Head stuff, that falls in the exact same category. This isn't the government banning Mr. Potato Head, these are the creators moving in a new, more welcoming direction. For a fake potato, that Bette Midler notes, we stick it's features up its butt. That one really ge...

Stan

My knowledge is on the same level. I think that Agatha is unaligned and curious about the amount of power being demonstrated. She's especially curious as Wanda doesn't seem to know the basics. She appears to be excited and/or scared by the level of chaos magic and its implications. There will be the...

There was a blurb somewhere online that the events of WandaVision are supposed to lead into the next Dr. Strange movie. As they have only one episode left, it's easy to believe that there will be dangling plot lines for the movie to solve. From most recent episode: There was an image in the infinity...

Yep.
I like West End Girls ok but the "rap" is such that I didn't even realize until today that it supposed to be rap.

Stan

Good point Mike. I bet she also owns a few snoods for when she wants them to just settle down and take a nap.

Stan

Do you think Medusa ever pulls her snakes back in a pony tail? Maybe sometimes she doesn't want a head that looks like a bunch of snakes and just wants them out of the way so she can get stuff done.

Stan

I feel like the early 80s hits were just better.

Stan

Is this the one I see advertisements for where some superheroes are living a kind of Truman show sitcom life and then someone else zaps their bubble and it goes all rainbowy? This is a weird description but that's as close as I can get. That's the one. It's got some nice layers. You should try it.

Stan

These people also want US History taught with less emphasis on slavery and indian removal. Isn't that censoring the bad from the kids? And all this "education" happened in the northern states so God only knows what was going on elsewhere. That's what gets me. My experience was similar but...

Stan

That was me, thinking about my life and work.

One of my kids said "pellow" while walking through the dining room/office.

Those with lions as friends, that's who.

Stan

This is perfect. I'm not invested enough to actually add it to my very long reading list but I'm very curious. They made so many things that are easy to listen to on the radio.

Stan

Good point. Strongly republican states will get Trumpier. There's already been a new round voter suppression laws and a few states lowered their flags for Rush's death.

Stan

My view matches Mike's. Take a look at the electoral college outcomes from 1952 to 1980 - Under Eisenhower, the solid Democrat states are the deep south. In the 60's things start shifting. Carter holds on by being southern but the loss is complete with Reagan. White racists became Reagan democrats, ...

But it will cost a minimum of $250,000 for her to go to public schools to get her Bachelor and then medical degree. That's ridiculous for a job that starts out well below six figures, and even when you're well established isn't much above that. And then they have to offer special enticements to get...

Finally.

This is a nice song for long car rides alone.

Stan

That was great

Stan

My theme song. I wish.

Stan

There we go. That's my second favorite Golden Earring song.

Stan

While Phoebe's idea is more practical, I think Kyle's is more interesting.

Stan

Pet Peeve, and maybe I mentioned this before. In an uninterrupted editable written piece, someone makes a pun and then writes, "no pun intended." J'ACCUSE! You intended that pun! If you didn't, you can edit out the pun. Are you sending us your first draft? Are you writing out this prose i...

Stan

I'm in. It sounds like you're not someone who is going to move the money around every week, which I appreciate.

Stan

It's made me realize how low quality most U.S. radio is.

Stan

This link is awesome. It's a globe, you point at a spot and get a list of radio stations you can listen to. Wanna remember your home town station or listen to exotic places like Canada? Go for it.

I like some Steve Miller but this one doesn't grab me.

Stan

What I think is cool is that, as this beautiful chart shows, the vowel sounds are continuous but our minds draw lines to make categories. But the categories vary a bit by person, so Phoebe's category for i is different than her family's probably due to accents and stuff. Color is weird that way too....

Stan

What do you mean? Mike posts here all the time.

Wizards who didn't make to the top magic academy but still did their thing with provincial college degrees:

I love Alan Tudyk so much.

I have a cardigan, except it has a zipper, that I got from Goodwill. I suspect the original owner died as it is so comfortable that I can't imagine someone giving it up while they're alive.

BOOM! If you're a little old lady add a cardigan and nobody suspects until it's TOO LATE.

Now we have life goals for the future.

Stan

That works. Imagine being so powerful that you no longer really consider yourself human so the opinions of mere mortals have no value to you. Then what would you wear? There might be a contingent that never leave their bathrobes, like Merlin. But others would go flashy to advertise their superiority...

Stan

random thought of the day: instead of looking like clones of Merlin/Gandalf, wizards should look like rock stars, preferably glam rock.

Kyle wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 3:48 pm Two things about car safety. I choose to drive a small car because I feel like they're more easily maneuverable and, with the additional control, are less likely to get into accidents.

Smaller cars usually also stop in shorter time/distance, which can prevent some accidents.

Stan

I sorta get selling short as a form of gambling, betting that a stock will drop within a window of a few days. Commodity markets have similar things where you can put in a bid to buy a commodity future at a fixed price different than the current price. Think of it like roulette where they give you m...
