Truth and Beauty Bombs

Which is the point, as I said in the second sentence of my post. "A General Comment on the Can-Do Ideals of the Greatest Generation" is just a nicer way of putting it.

ahahahahaha

attenborough is such a weird choice for that

why?
you think he has
bad taste in music?

Not blocking names, because I don't feel like it, and this one isn't really embarrassing to the poster.

Hahahahaha, I love it.

This is my friend's status:

poor 76%

OCCUPY CHRISTMAS

they oughta take the "mass" out and make it Christ Day or something, though

1/3 of Christians in America, imposing their "mass" tradition on non-mass-havers

Should start a campaign that the use of Mass is too Catholic, insist on calling it "Christservice" or "Christcelebration"

Holiday Tree? Never heard that ever before. Does your friend think Obama is muslim?

I think I'm going to just avoid that topic entirely.

Hey. The Mass stays where it is. We got customs, you goons.

I was going to ask if you could at least downplay the wintery aspect, but I won't pretend I don't feel a little cooler every time I see some fake snow in a shop window.

Oh, here's another one (different person):

ooh I have one of those too. This isn't someone I know - it was posted in a group a friend of mine belongs to:



and here's part of her response addressing a bunch of people who suggested she was being hypocritical and asked her who she meant by "they" and if she was referring to an article or incident:



That is a quote from various sources.

If they have to leave Australia and they have to leave America, where will they go?!

my son has a disability so I totally understand minority groups and discrimination

Loved that part.

I find it interesting that this person uses both Mapquest and Google Maps.

man, the first few are decent enough observations, but it's all downhill pretty quick. also many of them are questions. how can a question be a truth?

I never realized cephalopods had such a major role in hockey

Traditionally, the ice is just barely thick enough to support the players and each team has a school of trained giant octopuses - the tentacular guard - swimming underneath in a big pool. An octopus is supposed to break through the ice and pull players from the other team under, but the past few decades of hockey have stressed defensive octopus strategies to such a degree that an octopus is almost never able to breach the ice before it's pulled back down by an opposing octopus.

Although I only mention the octopus, the regulations are not that strict - in the 50s, some teams have trained squid to crack the ice with their beaks, and one included a Portuguese Man 'o War in its lineup until a nearly-fatal sting incident prompted the NHL to ban false jellyfish. And to this day, the Toronto Maple Leafs include a "lucky nautilus" in their lineup, despite its near-uselessness in the game.

:3

it is in Detroit. Everybody there got really sad when the NHL banned the ice cleanup crew from twirling octopuses
