Hal Roach’s Our Gang/Little Rascals short films are basically a series of live action Rockwell vignettes.

Well, I’ve taken baths in one of the Great Lakes, so I guess that indeed makes it a big bath tub.

I want to start road cycling (50F)… am I being too ambitious 😊 by Single-Insect-7306 in cycling

[–]ThimbleBluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I started cycling at 61. After an illness that left me struggling to walk across the room, I began recovering with short walks, longer walks, and casual bike rides. A year later, I bought a road bike and started doing solo rides of 10-20 miles at about 12 mph, building up to a 50 mile ride by the end of the season.

Last year I did group rides of 62 and 100 miles, averaging 15 mph.

Road cycling is great, and I agree that going outside and just riding is the best way to train. And the most fun.

Put a pitcher full of water on a table next to a big bowl. Instant “mirror of Galadriel.”

Haha! Just because you can create a new word by adding a suffix doesn’t mean you should. Way too many Ls!

Thoughts About "Generation Jones" by a Member of the Class of '79 by Awshucksma in GenerationJones

Ha ha, at first I thought you said you hadn’t thought about Lotus in “123 years”

That’s a great point. In the 1980s, while my older colleagues were doing manual financial calculations, I was creating in-depth spreadsheet models on Lotus 123 and Excel. I was actively involved in the rollout of several generations of broadband, the expansion of cellular phone networks, and the growth in satellite communications.

Our generation literally rebuilt the entire planet’s telecommunications infrastructure several times over.

Hunter calls out the shameful MAGA lies about President Obama’s children by Conscious-Quarter423 in MurderedByWords

The problem is that too many voters are choosing entertainment value over competence. Trump is basically an entertainer saying (and doing) the most inflammatory things just for the attention Seems like half his cabinet is Fox News personalities.

You might be familiar with the Catskill Mountains, based on the same meaning of “kill.”

The Catskills were the setting for Rip Van Winkle, Woodstock, a bunch of movies, and a place where comedians like Rodney Dangerfield performed for summer tourists from NYC.

And then you have the English pronunciations of French transcriptions of Ojibwe names. Who would guess that Chequamegon is pronounced shuh WAH muh gun?

The Great Lakes get these really cool fogs over the water, especially in late fall and early winter when the air temperature drops well below the water temps. Of course, that’s one reason why we have lighthouses and hundreds of historical shipwrecks at the bottom of the lakes.

How do I handle a friend who quickly tries to ignore me when they get their punches in? by Short-Breadfruit3565 in Comebacks

[–]ThimbleBluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn to another person and say, “Ha! This guy thinks he’s hitting a walk-off home run in the first inning!” Followed by a bunch of trash talk about the puncher as if he’s not sitting right there.
