I'm so old . . . wait, I'm not that old. That game was before my time, obviously. I had to look it up.

Willie Mitchell
Cleveland Indians (1909-1916)
Detroit Tigers (1916-1919)

I also had to look up what a "bingle" was.

The moment the Federal Government no longer has the manpower and money to enforce it’s edicts in regards to land, a huge amount of land and water will be open to live on.

Seriously, if the feds can longer send men with guns to stop people from living on federal land, an entire country is available. For free

28% of the United States is owned by the federal government

Cute little thing. They identified it as a .25. It is a .22LR

Irritating.

Seems early sybian prototypes were short-lived.

That looked like a short done on MST3K.

Semi-related:

Yesterday, I talked with some foreign exchange/returnee students.

Granted, they were not American, but one had spent time in America as a kid.

Not one of them knew who either Bill Cosby or OJ Simpson were and had not heard anything about their criminal cases.
