And Wild Thing was written and composed by Chip Taylor - uncle of Angelina Jolie and younger brother of Jon Voight.

They "fire Anvils" here in the California gold rush country for 4th of July and other celebrations. We have anvils, Cannon are harder to come by.

Oh boy, time for this to make the rounds in the Baltimore and Maryland subs again, where the mods will remove them as usual because it keeps resurfacing.

Or he did and frito lay is smart enough not to give him credit. They don’t have any incentive to give him the credit for making it

It’s not a myth. Coins were placed on eyes to keep them closed. Some cultures did it for religious significance too. Wouldn’t be weird if Greeks and Romans did the same thing.

Was it airborne, or did it just topple over somehow?

See, the problem here is that you already decided that Santa Anna was a despost in ,when any cursory knowledge of Mexican politics and history would tell you that back then Santa Anna wouldn't even exercise the authority he had as the elected president, preferring to spend his time between his Hacienda or in military campaigns. When the Tornell Decree was voted for Congress he was already in San Luis Potosi organizing the Texas campaign. The law was repealed a few days before the battle of San Jacinto.

Also treating filibusters as pirates was the standard back then. Wasn't worse than what happened in San Jacinto.

IV not VI.

The Flintstones is a I VI (ii) V, though.

Flan?

Reminds me of the very first time I blew up a soda bottle with some dry ice and water in it. It launched STRAIGHT up and landed within a foot of where it started about 7 seconds later.

Never had one do that since.

I had the feeling even before I said it once

I can improve religious texts. Just replace “god” with “your imaginary friend”. Voila prefect

Wasn't it changed or modified after 1st episode because it was too close to Wild Thing?

Nope. He had many redeeming qualities and he did indeed make some legislative effort to remove the institution. I just think his own internal biases and uncertainties were his undoing in regards to slavery. He believed blacks were inferior to whites, and he thought they should be emancipated in Africa and that freedmen should colonize there, because doing it on American soil would lead to great social turmoil and violence. From an observational standpoint, he was correct in the latter thought, to his credit. Civil unrest and war broke out after the abolition of slavery.

...and it's those same fucking fucks who ruined my day yesterday.

Is that a car shaped like a frog being dropped by that bird up there?

Sponsored by Acme.

I listened to Psyche Rock and was like "yeah that's pretty similar".... and then the bells started and that changed to a "oh shit it's almost an exact copy!"...

Jesus in the gospels states that all people are equal, you should approach every situation with love, and should basically just dedicate your entire life to helping others. Paul took that and said, “yea definitely, so what you’re saying women should be subservient to men and the church should be organized according to a strict hierarchy. Also gay people are gross”

No horseshit.

It's weird to me because it's almost the story of how Doritos were invented (a guy working at Frontierland in Disneyland made them from day old tortillas)

Does this also count for reading words? I find that if I focus too much on one word and its letters I stop being able to process it correctly after some time?

Malcolm (?) Or Seward (?) Nebraska used to launch these every year. Never went but heard about it. Not sure how far away they kept the crowd but always seemed like "yeah that's too close" when people would talk about it.
