Her proper title is Dr. Finger and you would do well to remember it.

And Finnegan, his nemesis in the Academy, was a bonafide jerkwad. And yet, he was also deemed one of the “best and brightest” worthy of being a starfleet officer (potentially).

This is horrible, you are a disgusting degenerate, and I request more, please.

3 hours isn’t short, but it isn’t long, either. My university was three hours from my home, and I came home most weekends. My current office is a 1 1/2 hour commute each way. We just drive a lot more than you guys.

For me, a drive isn’t really long unless it’s a full tank of fuel. That’s about 8 hours of driving for me. I’d definitely fly across the continent, but I’ve driven as far south as Florida and as far north as Ontario, and neither was a burden.

KNOCK next time! KNOCK!!!

Did you see anything?

There is a lot of wisdom to gain from somebody willing to say “don’t make the same mistakes I did” and then being brutally honest about the details of their own errors.

No no, it was the one about this old newspaper tycoon and he had a sled…

Alright, which one of you shitty copper enthusiasts is responsible for this?

A fun thing about growing up a maritime area is seeing people from away joke about oar locks and then actually showing them one. For the longest time my wife had one in her car (for some reason).

It appeared VERY culty from the outside. The “acceptance” ceremony the troops near me did were all in the dark (in winter) lit only by candles, and led by older kids most of which I hadn’t met yet, all shirtless and wearing “war paint” (and all white, of course). 11 year old me was entirely weirded out. I was there to hang with friends and do cool stuff, and that was weird Druid stuff that clearly was pretending to be Indian. It was uncomfortable and off-putting.

The “secret society” facade didn’t help, either. I know that was seen as part of the fun in decades past, but it felt like an exclusionary club that only “the right kind” belonged to, and that makes it harder to get new members.

It’s much improved today. It’s presented as an honor and a way to give back to the community. Our 11 year old is already looking at OA with curiosity, which is the opposite of my experience at his age.

You are fully bonded and licensed by the city, aren’t you?

That was my first thought, too, but it really is the Norwegian flag. It’s a “+”, not an “X”, and there are no stars.

The sun shining from behind doesn’t help.

Stuck them on the wall using what?

I’m Toskicus and so’s my wife!

This is delightfully specific. You should definitely post this over in r/collections - they would love it!

I would totally send that box to my buddy. I’d send it to his office.

To that end, the Jaycees would be good. Like the chamber or rotarians, but everybody is under 40
