Good morning. On this date in history ...

1798
The first serious fist fight occurs in Congress.

1804
New Jersey becomes the last northern state to abolish slavery.

1898
The U.S. battleship Maine blows up in Havana Harbor, killing 268 sailors and bringing hordes of Western cowboys and gunfighters rushing to enlist in the Spanish-American War.

1925
The London Zoo announces it will install lights to cheer up fogged-in animals.

1950
Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung sign a mutual defense treaty in Moscow.

What hysterical events will be recorded today?

How about the Biden mafia making war on Russia for the halibut?
Wonder how much moola obomber and hunter will make on this skirmish?

@QMS

is in an effort to erase the crimes committed by the Bidden / Obomber
thieves which only barely surfaced in the public eye.
I hear the leader of Ukraine is screaming there is no imminent threat, but it doesn't
seem to make a dent in the pentagoon modus operendi to move weapons and
troops into a hot zone. Perhaps someone has the goods on Hunter's involvement?
These issues will not be discussed in polite media, but I have a feeling a brutal
assault will make the rumors disappear. Russia is not backing down. They are playing
their normal war 'games', as military powers like to do. We are being distracted, once again,
while more malevolent activities are afoot. The PTB are ramping up the fear factor to keep
the public docile, since it seems they are losing on the mandate front.

Just my 2.5 cents worth.

for today in the Denver area is a high of 60degF, followed by an overnight low of 23degF, with tomorrow bringing a 100% chance of snow (~4 inches), and a small-but-nonzero chance of a high temperature very briefly near 110,000,000degF and a maximum overpressure of about 50psi.

We hope that that doesn't cause any inconvenience. Carry on...

@QMS hi, because I'm me that's what I remember about that song back in the day. Rumors. All over the AM radio waves. lol is my way of chuckling online, is there a better TLA? I go lower case, maybe because... never mind. carry on

groovyhistory

There is a part in the song where there's a breakdown. It's guitars and it's right before the second verse and Billy Beck does one of those inhaling-type screeches like Minnie Riperton did to reach her high note or Mariah Carey does to go octaves above. The DJ made this crack and it swept the country. People were asking us, 'Did you kill this girl in the studio?' The band took a vow of silence because you sell more records that way.

"Ester Cordet and her scorching hot honey" centerfold spread is at the link, just in case anyone was wondering. I like erotic art, so ban that too why not. lol

Peace and Love
of course

@eyo

there are not more interesting rural legends. Greasy slicks.
Out here in the sticks, we are certain the scream was produced by
skinning a sheep when they forgot to kill it first, or shearing with a
dull clipper?

Speaking of greasy slicks ..

peace?

The other side of the plastic platter by Thomas Dolby called "She Blinded Me With Science" is called "The Jungle Line". TIL that song was written by Joni Mitchell, and it is not called Woodstock. heh

Here's a six minute live jam, they wear ape face coverings I don't know why. Remember the carpet bags in OG Planet of the Apes? My brother's first wife's dad designed those bags. ha ha! Six degrees of useless trivia.

Thomas Dolby - Jungle Line (Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIOlEAfO30

Joni Mitchell Lyrics
"The Jungle Line"
Rousseau walks on trumpet paths
Safaris to the heart of all that jazz
Through I-bars and girders, through wires and pipes
The mathematic circuits of the modern nights
Through huts, through Harlem, through jails and gospel pews
Through the class on Park and the trash on Vine
Through Europe and the deep deep heart of Dixie blue
Through savage progress cuts the jungle line
...

I wondered the meaning of "Rousseaus vines" and ended up where I am? heh Okay stop stalking me youtube! Can I get a protective order to repel their telemetry? Nope. sry

when I checked the stock market news on my Iphone. The Dow went up 400 points!!! The Russians have moved away from the Ukraine border, lowering the chance for war!!!

Russian troops moving around inside Russia had knocked stocks down a few percentage points and the headline yesterday quoted the boss of Ukraine saying the war would start tomorrow.

Second guffaw erupted as I saw the photo from the Russian Government showing a big snowy field without any tanks and shit on it. The implication was that they had just vacated that field en route home.

The article cautions however not to become complacent. World War III is still a distinct threat.

.

Is this a great century or what?

This was all a mushroom cloud in a teapot. Who the fuck knows what a "tempest" is any more?

.

Tempest in a teapot (American English), or storm in a teacup (British English), is an idiom meaning a small event that has been exaggerated out of proportion.

@fire with fire

We gotta lotta dominionists just itching to be The Guy Who Pushed The Button. All it would take is for one of those RC135 Rivet Joints or RQ-4 Global Hawks that we've been ever-so-innocently flying over Ukraine here lately to develop engine trouble and accidentally bounce off the ground, and we'll retaliate our asses off- against nothing whatsoever. The leaders of our armed forces are just spoiling for a fight.
