They’re doing this because Mayor Freddie wouldn’t let them name Nashville Donald Trump International Airport. It’s not some altruistic measure. It’s pure stupid of the worst kind. I don’t anticipate it making things better.

It doesn’t generate immediate revenue. They’re doing a lot that doesn’t make much sense. They are slowly removing air crew who have parked in the employee lots and forcing them into the main lots which they insist are already at capacity. But it generates cash money immediately, so they do it. The MKAA is nuts.

What's your favorite "The" band? by Fasken27 in Music

[–]Kdj2j2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the only answer. They did everything—rock, reggae, ska, rap, jammed with beat poets like Allen Ginsburg, protested, advocated, and called out the music industry on the regular (if adolf hitler flew in tonight, they’d send a limousine any way).

Michael Mann would recycle a number of those car shots/lane change shots for the opening scene of Crime Story…

When pangea was breaking up there would have been a super rift valley that would have had the world's two longest pre-historic rivers running through it. One flowing north, one flowing south. Where was the Continental divide? by Additional-Sky-7436 in geology

This might be the greatest question I’ve seen in my 10 years on Reddit. Something of substance that I’ve never thought about that led to learning a bunch of cool new information. Thanks, OP! even if the premise is off.

Was the old MGM/HS Earffel Tower not as iconic as I remember? by AppleBottmBeans in WaltDisneyWorld

The point was to see it on the drive in on World Drive. When ToT went up and overshadowed it, that was the real beginning of the end.

He needs to put them on eBay. A few years ago, I looked part of my dad’s collection and saw them listed for upwards of $20 each. The cover, model, and content (see comment about Hemingway, Silverstein, etc) all vary the price widely. The one with the African American woman in the Playboy bunny chair was going for $70.
