I like the little swirl at the end.

Clockwise above the equator, counter-clockwise below.

If you know what I mean.

Really? That'd be great! When does it happen?

C2H5OH 21st February 2021 06:03 PM

Leave it to Haj to fenris fenrising up a title. I'm wondering if he's intentionally doing it. Only Fenris could have done it accidentally.

So Fenris would have fenrised the fenrising.

Maybe Fenris should be defenristrated.

Ask not what your snark can in do for you, but ask what you can in do for your snark.

Rebo 22nd February 2021 06:13 AM

Great title, @hajario! And @Cochrane, I've never seen Priscilla, and I didn't watch Drew Carey. So of course I adore the link. It's hilarious!

silenus 22nd February 2021 06:30 AM

@Rebo - Now you have to dive down the rabbit hole and watch the rest of the song & dance numbers they did on that show. My favorites are "5 O'Clock World" (which they adapted as their title sequence for a few years) and "World Turning" (which was filmed as one long take.)

From his cartoon thread (linked in a post above) I’d say late boomer. He mentions watching Saturday morning cartoons from1965-72. In the first post, he says he wants to watch with a 7-year old. So if he was around 7 in 1965, maybe 62, or thereabouts?

The Mighty Quinn 22nd February 2021 08:44 AM

Acey...

That’s a good point. The sun wouldn’t be at the same height at 5pm on these two dates. Sunset varies a few minutes each day.

I’ve noticed that on the weather forecast. They state the sunrise and sunset times for that day.
Nothing gets past this guy.

How the hell can you live somewhere and not notice that the sun rises and sets in different places during winter than it does in summer? I could buy that you mightn't notice it at or near the equator, but anywhere else?

I think Stonehenge is slightly older than that, so people at the time should have had at least some grasp of the path the sun takes throughout the year :sciencefail:

FC blew it. He should have played the tape backwards. It would be obvious Biden was referring to the secret deep state rapper "Regae N."

If I ever get warned (or banned, for that matter) I want it to be for trolling in the Pit.

But not for making jokes about racial slurs. What a jackass...

Also, the Presidents of the United States of America version of Cleveland Rocks, the short version of which became the show's opening.

People are dumb, especially about astronomical things. Ask the average person on the street if the moon is ever visible during the day, and I bet you get "no" 40% of the time.

Around the time of the last big North American eclipse, there was a Doper who said she was going to spend the entire time inside, because she was terrified she'd accidentally glance at it and go blind. Spice_Weasel, maybe?

That's no moon. It's a space station.

They were only half wrong:

Quote:

If the standard for trolling and banning for trolling is a misrepresentation that makes someone mad 1/2 to 7/8 of the those who regularly pit folks would qualify as trolls. This reminds me of the Huey banning (among others) where it wasn’t a general offense that was the problem but who it offended.

It was a gross misrepresentation. No doubt. But that’s standard behavior in the pit.

Plus he spelled "curmudgeon" wrong.

Also, not all of us know what OP stands for, please make sure to clarify what your acronyms mean the first time you use them! /d&r
