I know some people that spearheaded this effort. I was very happy they failed.

Scaggsville is cooler

Some residents have advocated changing the name of Scaggsville to Rocky Gorge, since the community borders the Rocky Gorge Reservoir. Efforts to change the name, however, have been unsuccessfu

Cherry Blossoms reach ‘puffy white’ phase on verge of peak bloom

Puffy white phase also describes most boardies.

One can dream….

Dustmites the world over love you for your feet.
Your mother once had eyes that shone like the legs of Mae West.
Your fingers are as divine as the pope's nostril hair.

"Located in the flyspeck village of St. Vith, 87 miles southeast of Brussels, the library houses the world’s most extensive collection of sourdough starters, those bubbling beige globs of bacteria and wild yeast — known as “mothers” — that bakers mix into dough to produce flavorful loaves with interestingly shaped holes. If a mother isn’t regularly divided and kneaded and fed with flour and water, she will eventually go dormant or die. “A starter has its own heart, almost its own will,” Mr. De Smedt said. “Treat a starter nice and it will reward you tremendously, like a good friend.”

Hey y'all, what percentage of Americans do you think are transgender? Are Muslim? Have the household income of Julian's America? These are some crazy ass survery responses here:

I wish there was some way for us to answer the questions before seeing the responses.

I was spot on for 95% of them; the demographic ones (high income, religion, ethnicity) elicited no surprises.

People are dumb.

People are dumb.

I like that they think 30% of the population are Jews

People are dumb.

I like that they think 30% of the population are Jews

Also, 27% Muslim, 41% Catholic,  33% Atheist, and 70% Christian.

I guess they must have figured there are some Christians who are also Atheist?

Edit: 58% was the guess for Xstian. 70% was the actual.

Society at large constantly talks about the Jews like they're this huge block of people or a religion on the same footing with Christianity writ-large or Buddhism or Muslims, but they aren't even close size-wise. There are more LDS members than Jews worldwide.

I think this is a by-product of America acting like WWII is the greatest accomplishment in our national history and the super complimentary (to America) one-sentence version of what that war is about is "saving the Jews" and so they play and outsized role in people's heads.

Latest nonsense from the trucker convey is to citizens arrest DC police and the mayor..

As to the arrest reasoning:

  truckers haven't been able to "go to the bathroom" while circling the Beltway, which has left "people hav[ing] actually pissed their pants!"

Guess they never heard of diapers, Gatorade bottles or common sense
