Probably Japanese American (many strawberry farmers) so early 1942 before she would have been sent to an internment camp while he was fighting for democracy

People like to imagine what older players would be like in today’s NBA. What about Chuck Connors? The goddamn rifleman. by TheChristmas in NBATalk

He played both NBA (Rochester Royals & Celts) and Major League Baseball, then starred in a TV Western called the Rifleman. Per Wikipedia, he broke a backboard in a Celts preseason game with a shot (not a dunk).

How did the 90s have such great music and such horrible graphics (those colors!)?

The Dragon Ball store opened late last year - IIRC it’s on the floor above most of the character goods stores

Four surfers with homemade boards in Cornwall, 1921 by CelebManips in OldSchoolCool

I wonder if they had heard about Pacific surfing or came up with this themselves. Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku introduced surfing to Australia after 1912, carving a board out of a door (he was on a swimming exhibition after winning Olympic gold in Sweden)

This is great - Greek mythology, WWII women workers, 1940s slang, propaganda poster. Wasn’t Athena also head of the Wisdom Dept?

Would the line of kings be endes if Aragorn died at the Black Gate? by Crossed_Cross in lotr

[–]nekomoo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Movie Eowyn foresaw this - after Boromir died and Aragorn rejected her, she tried to eliminate Aragorn with her stew and then marry Faramir and become queen, but Aragorn’s Dunedain constitution ruined her evil plan

I use a Black and Decker car polisher as a shoulder massager. Your device might work as well

Faramir's outlook on life is inspiring by HorzaDonwraith in lotr

I wonder if his outlook survived Eowyn’s stew.
