  1. Nobody wants to throw their body on the grenade. Maybe if Elon can rally $ome freedumb caucus types
  2. I'm unable to respond by order of the Peaky Blinders
  3. Mark Chadbourn: "Iranian hackers are threatening to release 100 gigabytes of private emails from Trump’s circle, including Roger Stone and Stormy Daniels, Reuters reports." — Bluesky Don't threaten me with a good time, Iran.
  4. Thank you. If the wife loses her gig we may have to temper our vacation plans for next year and I was lobbying for a trip to Toronto/Niagra Falls. This makes the list for sure. Edit: woops...I needed to zoom out. It is over on Detroit side. I might make it a stop this year when I drag my kids over the border to prove we have passports.
  5. Famously a big deal in Washington, DC.
  6. Its like a Thomas the Tank Engine episode come to life :--)
  7. similarly there should be an underground railroad terminus site in Canada. Maybe St. Catherines where Harriet Tubman lived.
  8. I'd like to see the Rouge Complex and the Willow Run plant put on as the Arsenal of Democracy site.
  9. Erie Moon Mammoth purple is pretty strong. Its not usual.
  10. Does anyone remember the UNESCO World Heritage thread from the previous site? This is an interesting conversation starter List of World Heritage Sites in the United States - Wikipedia Where should there be UNESCO sites in the US that are not yet?
  11. Gettysburg is an incredible combined historical site. Of all the historic battlefields I have visited I would put them in this order: Verdun: the starkness of it. There are 100,000 skulls of unidentified dead in the Douaumont Ossuary Gettysburg: History's hinge is at Little Round Top. 24th Michigan was there. Normandy: This one sprawls over an entire region but so many incredibly well-preserved sites. Omaha Beach, Bayeux, the memorial cemeteries, the mulberry, the Orne river and Caen canal bridges. The Market Garden sites in Holland. The British Airborne Museum is definitely worth a visit. I would still like to visit the Canadian WW1 battlefields in Belgium. if I had a lot of money i'd go to the Pacific battlefields (e.g., Bataan/Corregidor, Guadalcanal, Okinawa). I don't think you are allowed to go to Iwo Jima and Midway for different reasons. I might try to go to some of the Napoleonic battlefields in Spain because 1. its Spain and 2. I hear they are visually interesting. I didn't think too much of Waterloo. Too much fawning over Napoleon and not over the Brits and Prussians who beat him. There are a lot of battlefields in Scotland and the UK to visit but none of them seem particularly compelling like the above.
  12. according to Wikipedia it was three other dudes.
  13. He's got those weird techno-fascistic tendencies. He can rattle off nomenclature and other techno-babble with the best of them. He clearly wants to take the pis out of the authorities but also seems to find a lot of the world of police and authority of interest.
  14. every once in a while I will have a momentary success at work and declare my self "King of the Pimps" resulting in long conversations with managers, HR and mediation struggle sessions.
  15. For as mid a movie as it is...can't believe how many times I watched "Doctor Detroit" The 80s and cable tv were a weird time. It had its moments but the premise was pretty insane. Only studios with drug addled executives would greenlight that.
  16. Blue Jays... I still think the Orioles were the early "challengers" even though they dropped off into the ether.
  17. That's awesome but as a lifelong fan of ball you know there is always someone in your rearview. The Orioles were still hot on our heels in 1984 well into summer even after that start we had.
  18. The Mad King phase has been pretty frightening.
  19. I think there is an Aiden Hutchinsen moment coming that will live in Detroit Sports history like that of Gibby's HR in Game 5. A lot of the same variables: Local boy. Crazy athlete. Championship draught finally quenched.
  20. When can Trump pardon them?
  21. Two more. Rose Bowl 2023 Michigan season. Finally breaking through in the CFP and defeating Nick Saben to the point where he decided he could no longer compete with modern CFB players who expected to be paid (playing for his opponents). Amon Ra St. Brown secures 4th down catch to secure Detroit Lions first playoff win since 1991
  22. Can you imagine a gun control purity test applying to Alaska? People have legitimate bear concerns there.
  23. concur. Its like we are the Detroit Lions all of a sudden.
  24. this is amazing to see... Stay healthy...keep on keeping on.
