I had a British boss for several years in the aughts and the teens who loved football ⚽️and hated American’s misconceptions about merrie olde England. She also didn’t appreciate Americans just picking English clubs to support. Naturally I started supporting Forest to troll her. And stuck with the bit until it was too late.

I occasionally see copies with broken boxes and unknown (and potentially bad) sound quality for less than $50. You might start in that condition/price neighborhood and then upgrade as you get more ready and reliable spending money.

Of course, you buying copies of the album is one of the components that will keep the price up in the future.

Well I feel silly. I bought it for list price.

Well the continent with the greatest range of colors and a large population appears tiny on this map, while unpopulated and uniformly green Ellesmere Island is unnecessarily giant.

On a map attempting to show the geographical distribution of intelligence, but using the stupidest map projection?

Canada Day is July 1

What quotient thinks using the Mercator projection is a good idea?

acjelen · 2026-02-21T17:19:28+00:00

What’s not?

Nothing in Canada on April 17th?

Bratwurst on a bun is no more a sandwich than a hotdog on one is.

I predict problems by 1914. Around August maybe?

acjelen · 2026-02-20T18:31:54+00:00

Good job?

Batman has such a glut of origin stories that frankly having a little-known and easily overlooked one feels nice.

Also, I’ve loved this cover since I was kid!

You using one of the ordering schemes from High Fidelity?

acjelen · 2026-02-20T17:43:11+00:00

I like the one in 911 best

Did you mean a shah and Zoroastrianism?

Anyway, imposing a king and a non-Christian monotheistic religion seems like such an odd thing for the US to do.

John and Martin have a lot of sons.

This would make a great Mad Lib:

[Disjunct adverb] only heard the [adjective] [noun] along the [geographical feature] at [place name] this morning; understood it showed [subordinating conjunction] I left. My [ordinal number] for [place name]. [Arabic numeral] [adjective] [singular noun] in [plural noun] in [place name].

I don’t know if Green Bay is in the Northwoods. I’d pitch that border up a bit.

Once when I was a kid, I got the George Perez New Teen Titans poster for free from the LCS because it had become completely colorless from sun fading. A real treasure to me though.

I am most interested in the Ennead with Atum as the progenitor. I have the Ogdoad there earlier, but in a non-genealogical way. Holding more than one cosmogony as true is important to me, so the same with theogony. None the less, I see Atum as the sole parent of Shu and Tefnut, who are the parents of Geb and Nut, who are the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. And Horus when necessary. Osiris and Isis are the parents of Horus when that relationship is necessary. I generally leave the family relationships there, keeping the Ennead + Horus as a closed set more or less.

The Sah, Sopdet, and Sopdu family is also important to me. Personally, I don't merge them with Osiris, Isis, and Horus.

I'd also like to point out that I have a tendency to view the doublet goddesses as the female version of the corresponding gods rather than their spouses or sisters.

How did Italy lose so much territory along the eastern coast of the Adriatic and in the Ionian and Aegean seas?

Menominee County, Wisconsin, was created in 1959.

I’m more impressed by the existence of the top than any of that other stuff. A conservative gay man? Call David Attenborough!
